Happy Sharad Purnima

Happy Sharad Purnima Beautiful folks. 🙏🏻🌕✨🌙

There is a close connection between the moon and the Sharad Purnima, the moon is believed to be close to the earth on this day and its rays contain nourishing elements. So people spend the evening under moonlight. The rays of the moon have some healing properties which is said to nourish ones body and soul. That is why food kept in the moonlight on Sharad Purnima is considered equal to Amrit or elixir. Hence, people in the Eastern regions follow a custom of preparing kheer and keeping it open under the moonlight throughout the night of Sharad Purnima. The next day it is consumed by all the members of the family as it becomes 'Amrit' according to local beliefs.

Shrimad Bhagwatam has described the night of 'Sharad poornima' as the night of the Raasotsav of Lord Krishna on the earth, because unlike the moon showering the cool nectar Lord Krishna too, showered 'Bhakti ras ' on the earth. Thousands of fortunate Gopis enthrilled themselves by enjoying the bhakti ras in the accompaniment of Krishna. The day of Sharad poornima is celebrated with full enthusiasm in Brij, Mathura, Vrindavan.

"Pushnaami Chausadhi : Sarvaa Somo Bhootvaa Rasatmak" ~ I provide strength to the medicines in the form of Moon. Moon means calmness in the spiritual form, one should remain undisturbed by the outwardly unfavourable conditions and be powerful deep within so that one cannot be affected by troubles, big and small. Even Many divine incarnations faced many problems in life. Shri Krishna faced problems from the very moment he took birth, Shri Rama had to leave for the forest barefooted instead of acquiring the crown. But still he was calm. Krishna also kept smiling always. Hence he has been named Krishna Chandra (Moon). Lord Shiva himself is known as Chandrashekhara, the lord who holds the moon on his head. Someshwaraya, Shiva the lord of lords with moon! Hari Om Tat Sat ~ Jai Shri Chandarshekharaya Namah!! 🙏🏻🌙✨🌕🙏🏻
