Mahatva — Dev Deepawali aur Nanak Jayanti
Kartik Purnima ko Dev Deepawali kehte hain — maana jaata hai ki is din devta Kashi ke ghaton par utarte hain aur Deepawali manaate hain; Varanasi mein ghaton par laakhon deep jalaaye jaate hain, jo dekhne layak drishya hota hai. Pauranik katha ke anusaar isi din Bhagwan Vishnu ne Matsya avatar liya tha aur Vedon ki raksha ki thi. Sikh parampara mein yeh Guru Nanak Dev ji ka Prakash Parv hai — unke janm-divas par gurudwaron mein kirtan aur langar hota hai. Kartik maas bhar chalne wale Kartik-snaan ka samaapan bhi isi din hota hai. Is din Ganga-snaan, deep-daan aur daan-punya ka vishesh mahatva hai. Kartik Purnima dharm-samanvay ka parv hai — Hindu, Sikh sabhi apne-apne bhaav se is pavitra tithi ko manaate hain. Matsya avatar ki katha yaad dilaati hai ki jab pralay mein Ved doobne lage the, to Vishnu ne machhli ka roop lekar unhe bachaaya — gyaan ki raksha hi sabse bada dharm hai. Varanasi ki Dev Deepawali mein ghaton par jalte laakhon deepon ka drishya dekhne desh-videsh se log aate hain.

Aksar poochhe jaane wale sawaal
Purnima ka vrat kab rakha jaata hai — poore din ya shaam ko?
Purnima ka vrat poore din rakha jaata hai, par iski mukhya pooja shaam ko hoti hai — Satyanarayan katha aur chandrama ko arghya chandrodaya ke baad diya jaata hai. Is site par har Purnima ke liye chandrodaya ka samay diya gaya hai.
Kya chandrama ke darshan bina vrat adhura hai?
Parampara mein chandrama ke darshan aur arghya ko mahatvapurn maana gaya hai, par baadal ya mausam ke kaaran darshan na ho to dhyaan mein chandrama ka smaran karke pooja poori ki ja sakti hai.
Satyanarayan katha Purnima ko hi kyun suni jaati hai?
Purnima Bhagwan Vishnu ki tithi maani gayi hai, aur Satyanarayan Vishnu ka hi roop hain. Isliye Purnima ki shaam ko yeh katha sunna vishesh phal-dayak maana gaya hai.
Purnima par kya daan karna chahiye?
Chawal, doodh, safed vastra, cheeni aur dakshina ka daan Purnima par vishesh maana gaya hai. Sharad Purnima par kheer ka daan aur Kartik Purnima par deep-daan ka vishesh mahatva hai.
Kya Purnima ko samudra mein snaan ka vishesh mahatva hai?
Haan, Purnima ko jwaar-bhaata sabse tez hota hai aur is din samudra ya nadi-snaan punya-dayak maana gaya hai. Ghar par Ganga-jal milakar snaan karne se bhi yahi phal milta hai.
