Today is October 6, 2025, and it marks the special festival of Sharad Purnima! This day is not just any full moon night — it is considered the most powerful and pure for religious and spiritual activities. Why? Because the Moon shines in its full glory, showering Earth with divine energy. Devotees of Shri Hari celebrate with great devotion, fasting and praying to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. The month is Ashwina, making this festival extra sacred. But the real highlight that captures everyone's imagination is the delicious ritual involving Kheer, a sweet dish made from rice and milk. The unique magic begins when the Kheer is placed outside in the moonlight on Sharad Purnima night. Why bother? Experts say the moon shines with all sixteen Kalas — or perfect human qualities — only on this night. These rays are said to carry amazing healing powers! By keeping Kheer under moonlight, it absorbs this divine nectar. Eating this moon-kissed Kheer the next day is believed to heal long-term diseases, skin problems, colds, coughs, and even asthma. It also boosts strength and mental power. Isn’t it amazing how a simple bowl of Kheer can turn into a sacred health potion? This ritual is deeply spiritual. Full moon rays are thought to cleanse the soul and heal the body. Sharing this blessed Kheer with family and loved ones as Prasad the next morning spreads happiness and divine grace. It’s a lovely tradition that adds sparkle to Sharad Purnima celebrations, reminding us of the power of faith and nature’s gifts!
