Why is today’s Last Purnima so special? Discover its divine blessings, shubh muhurat, vrat rules, and shashtra significance.

This Purnima in the sacred month of Margashirsha is the last one in 2025 and holds deep spiritual importance in Sanatangyan traditions. It was also called Battisi Purnima since, due to its great punya-phala, this full moon is believed to multiply the rewards of charity thirty-two times. Devotees observe snan, daan, vrat, and Lakshmi-Narayan worship to invite prosperity, purity, and divine blessings.

The Sacred Identity of Margashirsha Purnima

Margashirsha Purnima—also known as Battisī Purnima, Agahan Purnima, and Mokshadayini Purnima—holds special importance in sanatangyan beliefs. According to ancient shashtra and the wisdom shared by respected sadhu and guru traditions, this Purnima is considered one of the most auspicious days for worshipping Lakshmi-Narayan.

Scriptures describe that charity performed today yields 32 times greater rewards than charity offered on other full moon days. This is why the day is lovingly called “Battisi Purnima.”

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna expresses deep affection for the month of Margashirsha, saying:

“मासानां मार्गशीर्षोऽहम्।”

— “Among months, I am Margashirsha.” (Bhagavad Gita 10.35)

This alone reveals why this full moon is cherished so deeply.

This year, the final full moon—Margashirsha Purnima—falls on:

• Date: 4 December 2025

• Purnima Tithi Begins: 08:37 AM (Dec 04)

• Purnima Tithi Ends: 04:43 AM (Dec 05)

On this sacred day, devotees visit holy sites like Haridwar, Varanasi, Mathura, and Prayagraj for snan, daan, and meditation. According to shashtra, river baths during Purnima cleanse not only the body but also the inner karmic layers, bringing peace and clarity.

Why Margashirsha Purnima Is Also Called Battisi Purnima

According to ancient beliefs, the charity offered on this day is rewarded 32 times more than that performed on other Purnimas. This is why it is known as Battisi Purnima.

Vedic texts emphasize that daan (charity), tapa (penance), and puja performed today equal the accumulated virtue of an entire year.

The following verse from the Padma Purana illustrates the significance of Purnima donation.

“पूर्णिमा दानेन तुल्यं न विद्यते पुण्यम्।”

Translation: “There is no merit equal to charity performed on Purnima.”

 It is this teaching that forms the heart of Sanatangyan wisdom: the spiritual elevation and inner purification can be gained through the kindness, compassion, and charity.

How to Receive the Blessings of Goddess Lakshmi

On Margashirsha Purnima, special rituals are performed to invite prosperity, peace, and grace by Goddess Lakshmi. Shashtra and teachings repeated by sadhu and guru tell the following especially potent practices:

1. Offerings to Tulsi

Offer red thread, red chunari, and raw milk to the Tulsi plant. This ritual is said to bring harmony and wealth into the home.

2. Lighting the Ghee Diya

Lighting the ghee diya at morning and evening invites Lakshmi's energy into the house. The soft flame signifies purity and devotion.

3. Charity (Daan)

Give away food, clothes, or essentials to needy people. The Scriptures say that charity today carries 32-fold benefits, honoring the essence of Sanatangyan dharma.

4. Lakshmi-Narayan Puja

Recite or listen to the following shloka with devotion:

“ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं श्रीं लक्ष्मिभ्यो नमः।”

— “Salutations to the Supreme Goddess Lakshmi, the one who blesses all with prosperity.”

Spiritual Importance of the Last Purnima of the Year

Today is the last Purnima of 2025 and that signifies the finale of a spiritual cycle. For many it is a moment to reflect upon the completed year, express gratitude towards the divine and cleanse the mind for the next year to come. 

Margashirsha Purnima is also known as:

• Agahan Purnima

• Mokshadayini Purnima

• Battisi Purnima

The name Mokshadayini expresses the power of freeing the soul from negativity and ignorance. Commonly, sadhus say that the very remembrance of the divine on this night brings tranquility and devotion.

A sacred verse from the Shiva Purana reflects this emotion:

“ज्ञानं प्रसादात् सकलं विभाति।”

Translation: “Through divine grace, all knowledge shines within.”

In short, the Last Purnima of the Year 2025 – Margashirsha Purnima or Battisi Purnima – is a day carrying huge magnitude of spiritual relevance to sanatangyan parampara. Followers experience inner peace and prosperity and receive the divine blessings by doing the year with devotion and reflection as inner peace and prosperity is also received through the divine blessings by doing the annual reflection devotion with the year.
