According
to Hindu calendar 2017, Purnima is when the full moon occurs. We know that moon
revolves around Earth and it takes approximately 29.5 days to do so. During
this time the size of moon expands and reduces accordingly. So, when Moon is
full in size and glowing away in its glory in the sky, it is known as Purnima. And, similarly when there is no moon day, it is known as Amavasya. In
hindu calendar, every month is divided into 2 parts, The Shukla Paksh which is known as the bright fortnight and The Krishna Paksh, which is the dark
fortnight. Purnima occurs on the last day of Shukla Paksh.
Purnima
is considered to be very auspicious according to hindu traditions. Since, the
moon is brightest and illuminating the dark night, it is believed that it
drives away all the negative energy and darkness. Pooja’s performed on purnima
are considered to bring maximum and more purifying effect in a person’s life
and mind. Many festivals across Asia are celebrated on purnima like, BudhPurnima, Kartik Purnima, Guru Purnima. According to astrology, people born on
Purnima are intelligent and are likely to never experience lack of wealth. Lord
Shiva and Lord Vishnu are worshipped on Purnima generally.
Scientifically
also, the moon’s force is maximum on Purnima so is it’s gravitational influence
also. It is believed that it has positive effects on a person’s mind and body. Therefore,
fasting on a full moon day or Purnima Vrat 2017 has great number of benefits. This
results in increased energy levels, reduces acidity, stabilises metabolic rate,
flushing out toxins. And, combined with prayers on that day, it will result in
restoring balance between mind and body, leaving the person refreshed and full
with energy.
How
do you keep a Purnima Vrat?
The
fast starts at sunrise and you can break it when you can see the full moon in
the sky after offering prayers. It is generally preferred that the person goes
throughout the day without consuming anything. However, one can consume one
meal in the entire day and that should be free from salt, pulses and cereals.
So,
if you want to keep Purnima Vrat to ensure a healthy life, you can keep it on
these dates in 2017.
