Vat Savitri Purnima Vrat Observed Today; Auspicious Yogas Aligning for Devotees
Today marks the observance of Vat Savitri Purnima Vrat, an auspicious day celebrated annually on the full moon day of the Jyeshtha month. Women across Maharashtra, Gujarat, and other states partake in the Vat Savitri Vrat to pray for the long life, happiness, and prosperity of their husbands. The planetary alignments have created a unique Bhadra Vas Yoga today, enhancing the spiritual significance of the Vrat.
Pandit Harshit Sharma, a renowned astrologer, states that the Shukla Paksha Chaturdashi of the Jyeshtha month begins at 7:31 AM, followed by the onset of Purnima Tithi. The Vrat will be observed on this auspicious day, with rituals like bathing, meditation, and charitable acts extended until the next day, the 22nd of June.
It’s notable that the day is marked by the formation of Shubh Yoga first, followed by the Shukla Yoga later in the evening. These yogas are considered highly beneficial for positive deeds, with devotees having the opportunity to worship Lord Vishnu and attain their desired outcomes.
According to astrologers, the Bhadra Vas Yoga commenced at 7:31 AM today, scheduled to conclude in the evening at 6:19 PM. During this time, the Bhadra is believed to reside in either heaven or the netherworld, bringing well-being to all living beings on Earth.
Key times for celestial events today include the sunrise at 5:24 AM, sunset at 7:22 PM, moonrise at 7:04 PM, and moonset at 5:11 AM tomorrow. The Brahmi Muhurat spans from 4:04 AM to 4:44 AM, followed by Vijay Muhurat from 2:43 PM to 3:39 PM, and Godhuli Muhurat from 7:21 PM to 7:41 PM.
