Purushottam Maas—also known as Adhik Maas (the intercalary month)—is not merely an extra period of time, but a divine opportunity for the elevation of the soul. It is a sacred epoch when even the simplest acts of devotion begin to yield extraordinary fruits. Although the scriptures generally deem this month unsuitable for worldly auspicious ceremonies, Lord Krishna Himself, through His divine grace, bestowed upon it the supreme status of ‘Purushottam Maas.’
In the sacred traditions of Sanatan Dharma, Purushottam Maas holds an exceptionally exalted and auspicious place. This holy month is considered a rare opportunity to receive the special grace of Lord Shri Hari.
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.
