On this tithi, the moon is the brightest and magnificent. It is believed that fasting on this day brings immense lunar grace to health, prosperity, and peace. On the full moon day, Lord Shiva and Vishnu are especially worshiped. Special worship to Lord Vishnu is done in the form of Satya Narayan Puja. Satya Narayan Puja is usually performed whenever possible, although the fruits of this puja performed on the day of the full moon are very abundant.
From a scientific point of view, it is said that gravity will have a great effect on the earth on the day of the full moon and self-purification will be done by fasting on this day and remembering the name of God. By fasting on this day, the metabolic process will be strengthened, gastric problems will be solved and positive energy will increase in the body.
This day is fast from sunrise in the morning to moonrise in the evening. Some people observe this fast without drinking water, while others observe this fast by eating only one meal and eating saltless (alino) food. In the evening, after the moonrise, the fast ends with the sighting of the moon.
Dattatreya Jayanti
In Sanatan Darshan, there are three forms of power based on the God element. It is believed that Dattatraya was born to bind these three streams of power in the form of Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwar. In this sense, Dattatraya, the integrated form of Tridev, is also considered as a bridge of ideas in Sanatan Darshan. In Srimad-Bhagavatam, it is clearly mentioned that Dattatraya was born as the son of Maharshi Atri and his wife Anusuya.
If you look at every complete statue or picture of Dattatraya, you will see four dogs in front of him and a cow behind him. Sanatan Darshan will always be grateful to Dattatraya, the integrated form of the Tridev, who was born in the Satyayuga, and for the restoration of religion and interpretation of the scriptures. At a time when the Vedas and the Tantra paths are almost separated, Dattatraya's contribution to building a single path of knowledge by bringing the two paths into the same stream will always be remembered.
