Importance of Pournami Fasting Pournami refers to the full Moon day which is considered to be a very auspicious time for Hindus. Most households in India observe a fast or Vratham to ring in the occasion of the bright full Moon, which generally occurs once in a fortnight. However, the Pournami Vrathams during the months of Adi, Karthigai, Vaikasi and Maasi assume much more significance since they are observed during the holy periods of the year.

Benefits of Fasting Abstaining from food or at least from some kinds of food items is referred to as Fasting. It does have its own physical benefits as it provides the much needed rest to the digestive organs and gives respite to the other over-worked systems. However, the benefits of fasting on the spiritual side can be said to be much more profound. Upavas or fasting is undertaken at times for the fulfillment of some vows and for physical gains, its true purpose remains less material and substantially spiritual. Our consciousness often is corrupted over time by accumulation of impurities, and it is fasting that helps significantly in its purification. Fasting and Religions Fasting is an observance that is common to all religions. While Muslims fast daily during the full month of Ramadan, Christians too fast on special occasions, and so are Buddhists. However, for Hinduism, fasting is an inherent part of the religious way of life. Hindus undertake strict fasting with great regu...
