🌙 Introduction – The Divine Significance of Adhik Maas
Once every three years, an extraordinary month appears in the Hindu lunar calendar — Adhik Maas, also known as Purushottam Maas. Unlike other months dedicated to specific deities, Adhik Maas is entirely devoted to Lord Vishnu, the sustainer and preserver of the universe.
During this sacred month, Vishnu Bhakti (devotion to Lord Vishnu) is believed to cleanse karmic impurities, restore spiritual harmony, and attract divine grace. According to scriptures, any worship performed during Adhik Maas brings multiplied merit (punya) — far greater than that of ordinary months.
At Shree Navgrah Mandir, Khargone (M.P.), thousands of devotees participate in special Vishnu Puja, Havan, and Anushthans under the divine guidance of Astrologer Acharya Lokesh Jagirdar, seeking peace, prosperity, and liberation.
📖 Spiritual Meaning of Adhik Maas – The Month of Purushottam
Adhik Maas arises because the lunar year (354 days) is shorter than the solar year (365 days). To align both cycles, one extra month is added every three years — this month is called Adhik Maas.
In ancient times, no deity accepted this extra month, considering it “inauspicious.” Saddened, the month approached Lord Vishnu, who blessed it saying —
“You shall be known as Purushottam Maas, and I Myself will reside in you.”
Thus, Adhik Maas became sacred to Lord Vishnu, symbolizing divine compassion and renewal. It’s the ideal time for spiritual reflection, fasting, charity, and devotional rituals.
🔱 Why Lord Vishnu is Worshipped During Adhik Maas
- Vishnu is the Maintainer of Cosmic Order (Dharma):
Adhik Maas restores the balance between solar and lunar energies, just as Lord Vishnu restores balance in the universe. - Symbol of Preservation and Grace:
Worshipping Lord Vishnu helps protect devotees from negative karma and planetary afflictions, bringing peace and stability in life. - Karma Cleansing Month:
Adhik Maas is a “bonus month” for spiritual redemption. Performing Vishnu Sahasranama Path, Satyanarayan Katha, or Vishnu Homam purifies one’s soul and neutralizes sins from past lives. - Lord Vishnu Grants Moksha:
According to Padma Purana, “Whoever sincerely worships Vishnu during Adhik Maas attains liberation (moksha) and divine bliss.”
