🪷 2046 Pūrṇimā Calendar · 12 Full Moons

The lunar peak of every Hindu month · most-auspicious for satsang and sādhana

नक्षत्राणामहं शशी
"Among nakshatras (stars · constellations) I am the Moon (Śaśī)." — Bhagavad-Gītā 10.21 — every Pūrṇimā is the moment the entire nakshatra-vyūha is fully illumined by Krishna's lunar-aspect

Pūrṇimā (full moon) is the 15th tithi of Śukla-pakṣa · the moment of maximum lunar light. Traditionally observed with: satsang gatherings · pitr-tarpaṇa (ancestor offerings) · upavāsa (fasting) · all-night bhajana-kīrtana · viṣṇu-sahasranāma recitation. Multiple major festivals fall on Pūrṇimā: Buddha-Pūrṇimā (Vaiśākhī) · Guru-Pūrṇimā (Āṣāḍha) · Kārtika-Pūrṇimā (Dev-Dīpāvalī) · Holikā-Pūrṇimā (Phālguna).
