Why Ganga Snan Is Considered Auspicious on Kartik Purnima?
According to the sacred scriptures, performing Ganga Snan on Kartik Purnima grants the same merit as taking a holy dip in the Ganga throughout the entire year. This sacred bath not only purifies one’s soul but also removes karmic impurities. On this day, devotees visit holy rivers and tirthas like Varanasi, Haridwar, Prayagraj, and Rishikesh to perform Ganga Arti, Daan-Punya, and Deepdaan.
It is believed that on this day, Lord Vishnu himself blesses devotees and frees them from all sins including Brahmahatya dosha. Worshipping Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva together, reciting Vishnu Sahasranama, Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, or Satyanarayan Katha brings divine blessings and peace. Chanting “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya” during Kartik Purnima is also considered highly auspicious.
Kartik Purnima Puja Vidhi and Rituals
On the sacred day of Kartik Purnima, devotees should wake up early during Brahma Muhurat, take a holy dip (Ganga Snan), and perform Sandhya Vandanam or morning prayers. Offer Arghya to the Sun God and light diyas near Tulsi and at home entrances.
Performing Satyanarayan Puja, offering Deepdaan in temples or near water bodies, and donating essentials like food, clothes, or lamps are considered highly meritorious. Fasting on this day brings the blessings of both Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. Devotees also spend the evening performing Kirtans and Bhajans, which are believed to multiply the effects of their devotion.
Kartik Purnima 2025 is not just the full moon of the Kartik month but a spiritually charged day symbolizing purity, devotion, and divine grace. Observing Ganga Snan, offering prayers, and engaging in charity on this day lead to peace, prosperity, and liberation from sins.
