A spirituality expert explains the significance of Buddha Purnima and why this day is considered a powerful time for prayer, meditation, and spiritual growth.
Buddha Purnima is one of the most sacred days for spiritual seekers. It is closely connected with the full moon, which is why many people choose this day to meditate and reflect on their inner life.
According to enlightened master HH Saint Sundar of Aathman Awareness Centre, the life of Lord Buddha is deeply connected to the full moon. Several important moments in Buddha’s life are believed to have happened on a Poornima day.
Buddha was born on a full moon day, attained enlightenment on a full moon day, gave his first sermon on a full moon day, and finally attained Parinirvana on a full moon day.
Because of this, the full moon of Buddha Purnima is seen as a powerful time for prayer, meditation and spiritual growth.
