Sharad Purnima in the Year 2024 will be Celebrated on Wednesday, 16th October 2024

The first full moon day of the month of Ashwin is known as Sharad Purnima. It is also referred to as Rasa Purnima or Sharath Purnima. The festival is also referred as Kaumudi Festival, Kaumudi meaning moonlight.

The bright light on this full moon day marks the changing season, the end of monsoon.

The dazzling night is associated with the divine love filled Raas Lila (Expression of love by graceful dance) of Lord Krishna with Radha and Gopis.

This mythological past related to Sharad Purnima makes it the best time to manifest love between couples. The day is also referred to as Rasa Purnima or Raas Lila Day.

Sharad Purnima is also known as Kojagari Purnima. It is believed that on this night Goddess Lakshmi visits from place to place asking “Kojagari??” meaning “Who is awake” and bless those who are found awake.

Hence people don’t sleep this night and spend the whole night playing games, singing and doing all amusing activities.

Rituals:

   1. Many rituals are practiced on this festival of bright moonlight. There is the general practice of preparing kheer (Sweet dish made by boiling milk and mixing cooked rice along with sugar and dry fruits) and offered before God.

   2. In some areas, the full moon is not seen directly instead it is seen on a vessel filled with boiling milk.

   3. Some people thread a needle on this full moon night under the rays of the moon. This is said to improve one’s eyesight.

   4. The most common practice is of keeping the prepared kheer, poha (rice flakes) or sweets in the moonlight throughout the night and distributed as Prasad on the next day.

Medical Significance :

It is considered that the moon and Earth are at the closer distance on Sharad Purnima night due to this the rays of the moon have several curative properties. It is believed that keeping food under the moonlight nourishes the body and soul.

" शरद पूर्णिमा आज चन्द्रमा के प्रकाश में कुछ देर बैठें और लाभ लें .आज { 29 Oct. } आश्विन मास की पूर्णिमा है , इसे शरद पूर्णिमा भी कहते हैं , इस रात को चन्द्रमा अपनी किरणों द्वारा अमृत की वर्षा करता है . आज की रात चांदनी में बैठने का बोहुत महत्त्व है , आज के दिन रात में खीर बना कर उसे चन्द्रमा की किरणों में रख देने से उस खीर में औषधीय गुण आ जाते हैं , अगले दिन ये खीर खायी जाये , प्रसाद रूप में , आँखों की रौशनी बढ़ने के लिए भी आज की रात लाभदायी है , चन्द्रमा की रौशनी में सुई में धागा डालने से नेत्र विकार दूर होते हैं , चन्द्रमा को बिना पलक झपकाए देखने से भी लाभ होता है , आज के ही दिन भगवान् श्री कृष्ण ने गोपियों के साथ महारास लीला की थी , अर्थात गोपियों को परमात्मा का साक्षात्कार हुआ था , जीव का परमात्मा से मिलन ही महारास है . ॐ ॐ"
