The cultural and spiritual traditions of India are so deeply connected that every month, every date brings a sacred message in itself. Vaishakh month is a very holy and virtuous month of the Hindu calendar, which usually falls between April and May. In the Indian national calendar, it is considered the second month of the year.
Every full moon is considered auspicious and divine in Hinduism, but Vaishakh Purnima has a special place. It is the second full moon of the year and is called the great festival of religion, charity, and bathing. Bathing in holy rivers on this day purifies not only the body but also the soul. It is said that the person who does virtuous deeds on this day gets freedom from the sins of many births.
When Sudama, the childhood friend of Shri Krishna, reached Dwarka to meet Shri Krishna, then God told him the law of Satya Vinayak Vrat. Due to the effect of this fast, Sudama's poverty was removed and he was filled with immense wealth. This story teaches us that any change in life is possible with faith and belief.
Satyanarayan Vrat has special significance on the day of Vaishakh Purnima. Devotees worship Lord Satyanarayan on this day, who is a kind and compassionate form of Lord Vishnu. Those who observe fast, listen to the story, and distribute sattu, fruits, sweets in prasad.
Donation also has special significance on this day. Donating sattu, sweets, clothes, fruits and food to the needy is considered extremely virtuous. It not only strengthens the society, but also awakens compassion and service spirit within the person.
