A Sacred Full Moon of Devotion: Why Jyeshtha Purnima 2025 Holds Special Importance
The sacred full moon of Jyeshtha Purnima in 2025 is more than just a celestial event—it’s a powerful spiritual observance that weaves together deep traditions, heartfelt devotion, and divine blessings. Falling in the blazing month of Jyeshtha, this auspicious Purnima is revered for its spiritual cleansing through holy bath, charity, fasting, and the beloved Vat Purnima Vrat, observed by married women for their husbands’ long lives.
But here’s the twist this year—there’s confusion over the exact date. Some say it’s June 10, others point to June 11. So, when should you actually observe Jyeshtha Purnima in 2025? Let’s unravel the spiritual and astrological threads to find clarity.
Jyeshtha Purnima 2025 Date & Time: June 10 or June 11?
Many devotees are puzzled—is Jyeshtha Purnima on June 10 or 11? To answer this, we must look into the tithi timings based on the Hindu lunar calendar.
- Purnima Tithi begins at 11:35 AM on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
- Purnima Tithi concludes at 01:13 PM on Wednesday, June 11, 2025.
So, which day is the correct one?
According to astrologers and the principle of Udaya Tithi (sunrise-based observance), Jyeshtha Purnima will be observed on Wednesday, June 11, 2025. That’s the day for fasting, Satyanarayan Puja, and Vat Purnima rituals.
However, if you are specifically performing Chandra Puja (moon worship), note that moonrise on June 10 is at 6:45 PM, making it suitable for moon-related rituals on the evening of June 10 itself.

Jyeshtha Purnima 2025: Snan, Daan & Satyanarayan Puja
Begin with a Sacred Dip During Brahma Muhurat
The calm window right before sunrise, known as the Brahma Muhurat, is considered by Sanatan Dharma to be the most spiritually powerful time of day. Taking a ritual bath (snan) during this period is believed to cleanse one’s sins, purify the aura, and invite divine grace, especially on sacred days like Jyeshtha Purnima.
- Brahma Muhurat for Snan: 04:02 AM to 04:42 AM
Embrace the Power of Charity (Daan)
Once the holy bath is completed, devotees engage in daan (charitable giving). Offering essentials like grains, clothing, and money to Brahmins and the underprivileged is a key part of the day’s spiritual practice. These acts of kindness are said to accumulate punya (spiritual merit) and help in burning karmic debts.
Satyanarayan Vrat: A Devotional Offering to Lord Vishnu
The full moon of Jyeshtha is an ideal time to perform the Satyanarayan Puja, a sacred vow to Lord Vishnu for peace, prosperity, and fulfillment of desires. The spiritual advantages of the Satyanarayan Katha are increased when it is recited during the appropriate muhurat.
- Auspicious Timing for Puja: 08:52 AM to 02:05 PM on June 11, 2025
Spiritual Significance of Jyeshtha Purnima in Sanatan Dharma
In Sanatan Dharma, every Purnima carries its own spiritual gravity. But Jyeshtha Purnima is particularly potent for:
- Cleansing the soul through snan and daan
- Worshipping Lord Vishnu through Satyanarayan Katha
- Observing fasts for health, peace, and marital harmony
- Performing Chandra Puja for mental clarity and calm
This day is a synchrony of celestial alignment and inner spiritual elevation—a time when the moon is at its peak brilliance, and so is the divine energy in every sincere prayer.
Final Thoughts: A Day to Cleanse, Devote, and Reconnect
Jyeshtha Purnima 2025 is not just a date on the calendar—it’s a soulful opportunity to purify, worship, and recommit to spiritual growth. Whether you are observing the Vat Savitri Vrat, chanting the Satyanarayan Katha, or simply immersing in a holy bath at dawn, this full moon carries an invitation to elevate your being.
So mark your calendar for June 11, 2025, and make the most of this divinely charged Purnima—because some days are meant not just to be lived, but to be spiritually remembered.
