When will the Adhik month of Jyeshtha month start?
According to the Hindu calendar, in the year 2026, the Adhik month of Jyeshtha month will start from Sunday, May 17 and will end on Monday, June 15. This entire month is considered very special for the devotion and worship of Lord Vishnu. This month, which comes once every three years, is very auspicious from religious point of view.
What is Adhik Maas and why is it special?
Adhik Maas is also called Purushottam Maas. According to religious beliefs, this month is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. This is the time when a person tries to increase spirituality in his life, introspect and remain absorbed in the devotion of God. It is believed that the results of good deeds done during this period increase manifold.
How do spoiled works get done in more months?
Adhik Maas is considered especially auspicious for those tasks which are pending for a long time. During this time, by worshiping, chanting and fasting with true heart, a person’s problems start going away. Worship of Lord Vishnu, chanting the name of Shri Krishna and reading religious texts brings positive energy in life and stalled work gets momentum.
Importance of charity and worship
Charity has special importance in this holy month. Donating food, clothes and money to the needy brings virtue. Apart from this, bathing in Ganga, pilgrimage and reciting Bhagwat Katha or Ramayana is also considered very beneficial. Doing this not only destroys sins but also provides mental peace.
You will get benefit from fasting and abstinence
Keeping fast in more months and adopting a virtuous lifestyle is considered very fruitful. Eating at one time, maintaining restraint and following celibacy increases self-confidence. This time gives an opportunity for purification of both mind and body, which makes the person strong from within.
Avoid these things
While on one hand Adhik Maas is best for worship and meditation, on the other hand, doing auspicious activities like marriage, house warming, mundan (headening) during this period is not considered auspicious. This time is dedicated to spiritual progress rather than starting new work.
