🌕 Sharad Purnima: The Night of Divine Blessings 🌕
Sharad Purnima, also known as Kojagiri Purnima, is one of the most significant full moon nights in the Hindu calendar. It usually falls in the month of Ashwin (September–October) and is celebrated with devotion, fasting, and offering prayers to Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi, and the Moon God.
🌸 Spiritual Significance
- It is believed that on Sharad Purnima, the moon shines with all 16 kalas (phases), radiating divine nectar (Amrit).
- The moonlight on this night is considered highly powerful and is said to carry healing energy that nourishes the mind, body, and soul.
- Devotees stay awake all night, singing bhajans, meditating, and performing Kojagiri Vrat to invite Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings of wealth and prosperity.
🌾 Rituals of Sharad Purnima
- Fasting & Vrat – Devotees observe a strict fast and break it only after moonrise with kheer (rice pudding).
- Offering Kheer to Moon – A special tradition is to prepare kheer and keep it under moonlight. It is believed to absorb the nectar of the moon and is then consumed as prasad.
- Night Vigil (Jagran) – Singing devotional songs and chanting mantras throughout the night is common.
