Buddha Purnima 2024: The festival of Buddha Purnima, or Buddha Jayanti, is observed worldwide to commemorate the birth anniversary of Gautam Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. Siddhartha Buddha, who subsequently became known as Gautam Buddha, was descended from a royal family but chose to give up his title after witnessing the great anguish and suffering of humanity. He then started a journey of abstinence and spirituality.

Significance of Buddha Purnima 2024

According to the Hindu calendar, Buddha Purnima occurs on the full moon day of Vaisakh (April/May). The great thing about this auspicious day is that it is not only the anniversary of Lord Buddha's birth, but it is also the day he attained enlightenment and salvation (nirvana). The celebration is eagerly anticipated by Buddhists, who believe that Lord Buddha is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. To mark the occasion, devotees go from all over the world to the Buddhist monasteries in Sarnath, Bodh Gaya, and other locations. On this day, devoted followers of Lord Buddha who practice Ahimsa (non-violence) and Karuna (compassion), the Buddhists gather to share the teachings and life lessons of their revered teacher with others.

History of Buddha Purnima

Buddha Purnima honors the birth of Prince Siddhartha Gautama, a prince from Nepal who later evolved into the Buddha, the venerated figurehead of Buddhism (c. 563–483 B.C.). The Sanskrit term "Purnima" means "full moon," which explains the full moon date. The term "Jayanti" denotes the birthdate of the Buddha. Those who achieve "bodhi," or wisdom, which is Siddhartha's enlightenment, are referred to as "buddhas." The event often falls inside the lunar calendar month of "Vaisakhi" for Hindus and Buddhists.

The Celebrations of Buddha Purnima 

Many men and women follow the same road as Gautama Buddha to attain mental serenity. His adherents become known as Buddhists, and they fervently and enthusiastically commemorate this auspicious day. At Sarnath, there's a fair where fervent followers decorate Lord Buddha relics with incense sticks, fruits, flowers, and candies. Devoted to Buddhism, Buddhist monks deliver public discourses and special prayers based on the teachings of the Buddha. The purity and significance of this day are symbolized by the scent of incense sticks, the aroma of fresh flowers, and the taste of warm kheer.
