In Sanatan Dharma, the full moon day is considered extremely sacred and virtuous. This day is especially fruitful for worshipping Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. When this full moon falls in the Purushottam month, or Adhik Maas, its significance increases manifold.
This Purshottam Ekadashi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and, due to its occurrence in the Adhik Maas (extra monthly period), is considered extremely rare and fruitful.
In the year 2026, a special occurrence of Jyeshtha Adhik Maas is being formed, which is considered highly auspicious from a religious perspective.
Purushottam Maas Mahatmya Katha Chapters 1 to 10 narrate the divine transformation of Adhik Maas into the sacred Purushottam Maas through the blessings of Lord Krishna and Lord Vishnu.
The first Shani Amavasya of the year 2026 falls in the Krishna Paksha of the month of Jyeshtha, making it even more sacred and fruitful. This day is also considered an excellent time to receive the blessings of Shani Dev, satisfy the ancestors, and attain relief from the hardships of life.
Have you ever wondered why certain years in the Hindu calendar feel longer, or why festivals like Diwali and Raksha Bandhan sometimes shift by a few weeks? The answer lies in the mystical and scientifically precise concept of Adhik Maas.
Ekadashi dates are given special importance in Sanatan Dharma, but Apara Ekadashi is also considered to be very auspicious and superior.
Lord Vishnu took various incarnations to serve the world. One of these divine incarnations is the extremely radiant and fierce form of Lord Narasimha.
In Sanatan Dharma, Vaishakh Purnima is considered highly sacred, meritorious, and spiritually significant day. It is regarded as an especially auspicious occasion for dharma (righteousness), penance, spiritual practices, holy bathing, donation, and worship of God.
Ekadashi Tithi (the Ekadashi Tithi) holds special significance in Sanatan Dharma, but Mohini Ekadashi, which falls during the Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) of the month of Vaishakha, is considered extremely virtuous and beneficial.
Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is celebrated on the third day of the bright fortnight of the month of Vaishakha, and charity, chanting, austerities, and auspicious deeds performed on this day yield eternal (infinite) results.
Lord Parashurama is considered the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who incarnated to destroy the growing unrighteousness, injustice, and evil forces on earth.
