Satyanarayan Vrat July 2024: Importance
Ashadha Purnima holds a great significance in Hinduism as it is an extremely religious day dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Devotees observe a fast in his honour and perform the worship of Satyanarayana. This day is revered as it is believed that the divine rays of the full moon touch the earth and spread auspicious energy far and wide.
In astrology, the moon influences mental abilities, moods, mind and emotions. During the full moon, individuals often experience heightened intuition, connecting deeply with their higher self. Keeping the Satyanarayana Vrat is believed to bring blessings from Lord Vishnu, which brings relief from difficulties and fulfillment of desired desires.
