Today is the full moon date of Vaishakh month on Monday 12 May 2025. Buddha Jayanti is on the day of Vaishakh Purnima. It is also called Buddha Purnima. In Hinduism, the full moon date is considered very auspicious and positive. This day is auspicious for bathing, charity, fasting, worship etc.

On the day of Vaishakh Purnima, along with many works, lighting lamps are also important in some special places in the evening. Jyotishacharya Anish Vyas says that, lighting a lamp in these places on Vaishakh Purnima, gives blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, increases wealth and increases the flow of positive energy.

After sunset on Vaishakh Purnima today, we must awaken a lamp of ghee near Tulsi. Tulsi is considered to be the abode of Maa Lakshmi and Lord Srihari is very dear to Tulsi. Lighting a lamp near Tulsi this evening provides happiness, prosperity and health benefits. Also, negative energy goes away.

On the auspicious day of Vaishakh Purnima, do not forget to light a lamp even at the main gate of the house at the evening. This enters positivity at home and also arrives at Maa Lakshmi. If you are troubled by financial constraints, then do this remedy today.

In all places the northeast angle is considered a very sacred direction. The reason for this is that according to Vastu Shastra, Gods and Goddesses reside in the northeast. Therefore, this direction is considered to be of deities. Keeping a lamp in this direction increases knowledge, intellect and purity.

The worship house and kitchen are an important place of any house. Therefore, today on the Vaishakh Purnima, light a lamp of ghee in the evening and keep it in these places. Burning lamps in the kitchen leads to the abode of mother Annapurna. At the same time, lighting the lamp in the temple gives blessings of deities.

Buddha Jayanti is being celebrated on Monday 12 May 2025 on Buddha Purnima. It is believed that after years of penance, Lord Buddha attained knowledge on the day of Vaishakh Purnima in Bodh Gaya, Bihar.

Prince Siddharth Lord Gautama became Buddha on Vaishakh Purnima. On this day, worship of Peepal tree is important. Along with this, Kheer is also offered to Lord Buddha on Buddha Purnima. Know what is the reason behind offering kheer.

A woman named Sujatha saw Buddha doing spiritual practice under a tree in Bakraur village. He had become like a skeleton while doing penance. Then the woman gave them refreshments and gave them a cup of kheer. After eating Kheer, Buddha realized the medium route and he walked towards Bodh Gaya.

After eating Sujata’s kheer, Buddha reached Bodh Gaya and sat under a peepal tree and started doing penance again. Under this tree, Buddha attained knowledge on Vaishakh Purnima and he was called Gautama Buddha from Prince Gautam.

Therefore, it is believed that the hard penance done in Dhungeshwari, eating Kheer of a Gwalin woman named Sujata in Bakraul and the penance done under the Peepal tree in Bodh Gaya had a profound effect on the life of Buddha and he became Lord Buddha.

This is the reason that Kheer is offered to Lord Buddha. Today, on the special day of Buddha Jayanti, Lord Buddha gets mental peace by offering kheer and the communication of positive energy also increases.

Lord Buddha was born on the day of Buddha Purnima. This day is considered very special not only for the people of Buddhism, but also in Hinduism. It is also called Vaishakh Purnima. Lord Buddha was born on this day, so now this day is also called Buddha Jayanti. Let’s know the religious significance of Buddha Purnima.

According to the Panchang, the date of Vaishakh Purnima or Buddha Purnima will begin on May 11 at 8:01 pm and will end at 10:25 pm on May 12. According to Udayatithi, Buddha Purnima will be celebrated on 12 May. On this day, Chandrodaya i.e. the time of the moon will be at 6:57 pm.

Buddha Purnima is not only the day of the birth of Lord Buddha, but he also got knowledge on this day. Therefore, this day is also considered very special for knowledge and learning. Those who want to leave their bad things and start a new life, they can take a good resolution on this day.

The Mahaparinirvan of Gautama Buddha also took place in Kushinagar on the day of Vaishakh Purnima. According to the legend, Lord Buddha’s real name was Siddharth. He was a prince. They had everything: wealth, happiness and splendor. But still he found his life incomplete without any special purpose.

Siddharth did hard practice for seven years in search of truth. Finally, on the day of Vaishakh Purnima, he got knowledge under the Bodhi tree. On this day, he became Lord Buddha from Prince Siddharth.

For this reason, Vaishakh Purnima is considered to be the day of the new birth of Lord Buddha. Since then it came to be called Buddha Purnima. It is believed that Lord Buddha broke his fast by eating kheer on this day, so Kheer is made on this day and Lord Buddha is offered as offerings.
