Satyanarayan Vrat July 2024: Significance
Ashadha Purnima holds great significance in Hinduism as a deeply religious day dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Devotees observe fasting and perform the Satyanarayan puja to honor him. This day is revered because the Full Moon's divine rays are believed to touch the earth, spreading auspicious energies far and wide.
In astrology, the Moon influences psychic abilities, moods, the mind, and emotions. During the full moon, individuals often experience heightened intuition, connecting deeply with their higher self. Observing the Satyanarayan fast is believed to invoke blessings from Lord Vishnu, providing relief from hardships and granting fulfillment of desired wishes.
