Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Sai Ram Some of you asked about the dates of various festivals for coming here Here it is Love Sheshagiri Here is some details on Full moon Festivals : For this month it is on 15th December 2005 A unique section on the Full Moon Festivals in India, as a tribute to Immortal Masters who inspire the sacred traditions of the Full Moon.The Moon gives knowledge of time with its waxing and waning, closely connected with spiritual knowledge. It brings sharp awareness of the reality of impermanence through its changing cycles. It corresponds to the yin and yang of the ever-changing path of the Tao, urging us to cultivate firmness and flexibility with equanimity and compassion. The Full Moon is a symbol of enlightened consciousness and bliss. In India, the festivals of the Full Moon are a sacred device to encourage people to become attuned to the natural tides in the universe at their great highs, and to share the joy and spiritual blessings with others in the community. Each such event is uniquely rooted within a particular seasonal cycle of growth and unfoldment. In this section, we embark on a journey of exploration around the twelve Full Moon festivals of the year. The articles deal with the traditional festival and spiritual lore surrounding each event. The festivals are based on the Indian lunar almanac, where the month begins and ends with the New Moon. Each month is divided into 2 fortnights, the bright half of the waxing Moon (Shukla paksha), culminating with the Full Moon (Purnima) and the dark half of the waning Moon (Krishna paksha), ending in the New Moon (Amavasya). The list of festivals, with the corresponding Indian and Western months is given below: Name of the Full Moon (Purnima) Lunar Month Western Months Full Moon Festivals: An Overview - - Guru Purnima / Vyas Purnima Ashadh June-July Rakhi Purnima / Nariyal Purnima Shravan July-August Bhadrapad Purnima Bhadrapad August-September Kojagiri Purnima / Sharad Purnima Ashvin September-October Tripurari Purnima Kartik October-November Margashirsha Purnima Margashirsha November-December Paush Purnima / Shakambhari Purnima Paush December-January Magh Purnima Magh January-February Phalgun Purnima / Holi Purnima Phalgun February-March Chaitra Purnima Chaitra March-April Vaishakh Purnima / Buddha Purnima Vaishakh April-May Jyeshtha Purnima / Vata Purnima Jyeshtha May-June Attachment: (application/pdf) Hindu Festivals till the end of year 2031.PDF [not stored] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
