Udaya Vyapini Jyeshtha Purnima Today: Check moonrise muhurat, puja vidhi and significance of Bilvatri Ratri vrat

Jyeshtha Purnima 2025 falls on Wednesday, June 11. The full moon tithi will witness moonrise at 7:42 PM. This day is spiritually significant and is observed with various rituals such as Vat Purnima Vrat, Tarpan for ancestors, and the Bilvatri Ratri Vrat. Falling in the sacred month of Jyeshtha, which signifies the “elder” or “senior” in Sanskrit, this full moon day holds a special place in Hindu religious traditions. Devotees across India perform pujas, observe fasts, and offer donations, praying for health, longevity, and prosperity.

Jyeshtha Purnima, also known as Vat Purnima, is celebrated when the full moon coincides with Jyeshtha Nakshatra. It is considered especially auspicious for married women who observe fasts for their husband's long life and family well-being. In many parts of India, it is a day to perform Tarpan and Daan—ritual offerings and donations in memory of departed ancestors.

This full moon also marks an important occasion to worship Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi, seeking blessings for happiness, prosperity, and good luck.

Moonrise Muhurat on Jyeshtha Purnima 2025

The moonrise time plays an essential role in Purnima vrat rituals. Many devotees begin or conclude their fast after sighting the full moon.

Performing Tarpan (ancestral offerings) and Dana (charity) on Jyeshtha Purnima is said to bring Pitra Shanti (peace to ancestors). Donating essentials like food, clothes, and money in the name of forefathers helps in removing negative karma and brings blessings of the divine.

Bilvatri Ratri Vrat 2025

One of the lesser-known but powerful vrats observed on Jyeshtha Purnima is the Bilvatri Ratri Vrat, detailed in the Skanda Purana. Here's a step-by-step guide:

• Take a bath in the morning with water mixed with mustard.
• Worship the Bilva Vriksha (Bael tree) using Gandha and Pushpa.
• Eat only once during the day; if the food is seen by a dog, pig, or donkey, it must be discarded.
• Observe the Bilvatri Vrat on every full moon day for one full year.

Final Day Puja and Offerings

On the last day of this year-long vrat:

• Visit a Bilva tree and offer around 1 kg of mixed grains (barley, rice, wheat, sesame).
• Prepare a second container with two layers of cloth and install a gold idol of Uma-Maheshwara.
• Offer two red garments, incense (dhupa), lamp (deepa), fragrance, flowers, and naivedya.
• Recite the following mantra:

Shriniketa Namastubhyam Hara Priya Namoastu Te। Avaidhavyam Cha Me Dehi Shriyam Janmani Janmani॥

• Offer 1,000 Ahutis using Bilva leaves.
• Donate clothes, food, and ornaments to 4, 8, or 16 married couples.

This vrat is believed to bring blessings of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, fulfilling wishes, and removing obstacles. Jyeshtha Purnima 2025 is a day of deep spiritual significance. Whether you're observing the Vat Purnima fast, performing ancestral rites, or following the Bilvatri Ratri Vrat, this auspicious day is perfect for aligning with divine energies. Observing these rituals with devotion can help bring wealth, family harmony, spiritual growth, and ancestral blessings.
