Significance of Vaishakh Purnima: The holy festival of Vaishakh Purnima will be celebrated on 1st May i.e. Friday. In Hindu religious texts, Vaishakh Purnima is considered extremely sacred and fruitful because Lord Buddha was born on this day and it is also celebrated as Buddha Purnima. According to mythology, on this day Lord Vishnu was born in his ninth incarnation, hence its religious importance increases even more. The full moon day of Vaishakh month is considered to be the best date for self-reflection and charity. When we observe fast with devotion on this auspicious occasion, our mind gets a new energy and peace. This date inspires us to lead our lives on the path of truth and non-violence.
According to mythological beliefs, on the day of Vaishakh Purnima, Buddha, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, attained enlightenment in search of truth. On the same day, Dharmaraja Yudhishthir also observed this fast on the instructions of Lord Krishna, due to which he got the same results as Rajsuya Yagya. It is mentioned in the scriptures that bathing in Ganga and charity done on this day helps in freeing a person from the bondage of birth and death. On this auspicious date, listening to the story of Lord Satyanarayan and offering Arghya to the moon is considered especially fruitful. By the grace of Lord Vishnu and Moon God, happiness and prosperity reside in the house. This holy festival teaches us how through devotion and restraint we can take our soul closer to God.
By observing fast on Vaishakh Purnima, a person's sins accumulated over many births are destroyed. According to the scriptures, by worshiping and donating as per rituals on this day, the evils caused by unknowingly telling lies, hurting someone or immoral acts are removed.
