According to the Hindu calendar, each month of the lunar year is named after the lunar position on the full moon of that month. There are 27 constellations considered in astrology. All constellations are considered to be the wife of the Moon. Shravan is one of them. It is believed that the moon transits in Shravan Nakshatra on the full moon day. Therefore, Purnimant month is named Shravan and this full moon is called Shravan Purnima. The day of Shravani Purnima holds great significance for Brahmins, on this day it is a tradition to change Yajnopaveet. The Brahmins change the old Yajnopaveet and wear the new Yajnopaveet. Those who wear Yajnopavit change the Yajnopavit on the day of Shravani Purnima after worshiping the Yajnopavit with a resolve of purity of righteous mind, word and deed. If there is a need to change the Yajnopavit at any time during the whole year, then the Yajnopavit worshiped on this day is worn. Each date of the full moon is considered auspicious and religiously significant. But Shravan Purnima has its own distinct feature. On this day, the holy festival of Rakshabandhan is celebrated all over the country, especially in North India. This date is celebrated in the south as Naryali Purnima and Avani Avittam. In Central India, it is celebrated as Kajri Poonam and in Gujarat as a holy place. On this day there is also a law to perform Yajnopavit Pujan and Upanayan rites in some areas. Today is the birth anniversary of Lord Hayagreeva and Vedamata Gayatri and Sanskrit day is also celebrated on this day, Japa-Tapa, Dan-Dakshina This date is considered to be best. Amarnath Yatra also ends on this day. This date is also considered to be best for freedom from Chandradosh. It is believed that if the law is followed by a full moon fast, the mistake of not performing Vedic deeds throughout the year is also forgiven. It is also believed that like the fasts of the year, the fruit of Shravani Purnima is obtained. #rakshabandhan #2020 #avaniavittam #nariyalipurnima #savni #pavitropana #haygreeva #haygriv #gaytrijayanti #sanskritdivas (at Lucknow-लखनऊ) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDYRLKEAbkb/?igshid=1mqn1ti5yvqkl
