According to the Hindu calendar, the holy Adhik month is going to start from tomorrow, which is considered extremely auspicious and fruitful from the religious point of view. This period is also called Purushottam month, which falls in addition to the normal 12 months and approximately once every three years. This time this month will continue till June 15.
According to religious beliefs, Adhik Maas is related to the Purushottam form of Lord Vishnu, hence it is also called “Purushottam Maas”. This entire month is considered special for meditation, worship and spiritual purification.
what to do in heavy months
Religious activities have special significance in this holy month. Devotees are advised to spend maximum time in worshiping, meditating and chanting bhajan-kirtan of Lord Vishnu. It is considered auspicious to worship Lord Vishnu or Shri Krishna every morning after bathing.
Charity also has special importance during this period. Donating food, clothes or other necessary things to the poor leads to virtuous results. Besides, worshiping Tulsi and reciting Vishnu Sahastranam is also believed to provide spiritual benefits.
The tradition of fasting is also especially observed in this month. Many devotees follow the rule of eating fruits or eating one meal at a time during this period.
what tasks should be avoided
There is a tradition of postponing auspicious functions like marriage, housewarming, tonsure and starting of new business in Adhik Maas. According to religious beliefs, this time is mainly for meditation and introspection and not for starting new auspicious works.
Apart from this, it is advised to avoid anger, disputes and negative behavior during this period. Keeping the mind and thoughts calm is considered to be the main objective of this month.
Religious scholars say that this time is an opportunity for spiritual progress and to bring positive energy in life. During this time, people can leave their bad habits and move towards restraint and devotion.
spiritual significance
Adhik Maas is considered “extra time”, which one gets the opportunity to devote to the devotion of God. Chanting, penance and donations done in this month are considered more fruitful than during normal times.
