🌕 Kartik Purnima 2025 Date and Tithi
Kartik Purnima 2025 will be celebrated on Wednesday, November 5, 2025.
According to the Hindu calendar, the Purnima tithi begins on November 4 at 7:56 PM and ends on November 5 at 9:32 PM.
Devotees observe snan (holy bath) and deep daan during the sunrise of Kartik Purnima day. This full moon marks the end of the sacred month of Kartik and is considered one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar.
🌸 Spiritual Significance of Kartik Purnima
Kartik Purnima is known as the festival of divine lights (Dev Deepawali). It is believed that on this day, Lord Vishnu took the Matsya (fish) avatar to save the Vedas, and Lord Shiva killed the demon Tripurasura, earning the day the name Tripuri Purnima.
The day is also important for devotees of Lord Vishnu, Shiva, and Tulsi Devi, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and truth over ignorance.
🕉️ 7 Sacred Practices to Perform on Kartik Purnima 2025
1. Holy Bath (Kartik Snan)
Begin the day with a sacred dip in a river or at home with pure water while chanting:
“Om Namo Narayanaya”
This act purifies sins and awakens divine consciousness. If visiting rivers like Ganga or Yamuna isn’t possible, you can add Ganga jal to your bath water.
2. Lighting Lamps (Deep Daan)
In the evening, light 108 diyas or lamps in your home temple, near Tulsi plant, or outside your house.
Lighting lamps on this night invites divine light and peace into your life and is believed to please Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi.
3. Chanting of Kartik Purnima Mantra
Recite this sacred mantra with your Tulsi Mala or Digital Jaap Counter for spiritual upliftment:
“Om Vasudevaya Namah” (for Lord Vishnu)
“Om Namah Shivaya” (for Lord Shiva)
Chanting these mantras 108 times brings inner calm, focus, and blessings of both deities.
4. Tulsi Puja and Daan
Offer Tulsi leaves to Lord Vishnu and light a lamp near your Tulsi plant. You can also donate oil, rice, or food to the needy — this is known as Kartik Daan, which multiplies good karma.
5. Observing Fast (Kartik Purnima Vrat)
Many devotees keep a full-day fast or consume only fruits and milk. The vrat strengthens willpower and devotion, helping one connect deeply with divine energy.
6. Reading Holy Scriptures
Read or listen to spiritual kathas like Shri Vishnu Purana, Gajendra Moksha, or Shiv Chalisa. You can also listen to Kathas by saints like Swami Premanand Ji Maharaj, who beautifully explains the glory of Lord Vishnu and devotion.
7. Charity and Helping the Needy
End your day with daan (charity) — donate clothes, food, lamps, or money to those in need. It is said that every act of giving on Kartik Purnima returns a hundredfold in blessings.
