Dibrugarh, Feb 01: Maghi Purnima was observed at Hindu Milan Mandir in Dibrugarh on Sunday with full traditional fervour.
Every year Dibrugarh Hindu Milan Mandir affiliated with Bharat Sevashram Sangha observed Maghi Purnima, which is also observed as the birth anniversary of Swami Pranavananda ji Maharaj.
In the Hindu religious and philosophical tradition, Maghi Purnima is a date of profound significance. Observed on the full-moon day of the month of Magha, this occasion is not merely an opportunity for ritual bathing or the observance of vows, it is a noble reminder of inner purification, self-restraint, knowledge, and compassion.
The month of Magha is described in the scriptures as the “most sacred month.” The severity of winter gradually recedes, and nature begins preparing for renewal. The full-moon day itself symbolises “wholeness” the moon appears in its complete form.
“Today 131st birth anniversary of Swami Pranavananda Ji Maharaj. Every year we celebrate this day. This day is auspicious for Hindus and we celebrate the Maghi Purnima with prasad distribution,” said Shymal Chakraborty, a member of Hindu Milan Mandir, Dibrugarh.
