Sharad Purnima means the union of life with Paramatma.

In this way, if we think about Sharad Purnima, Avinashbhai's line comes to mind. "Poonam's light in Janani's eye." So the light of Mataji's eye is the same Sharad Purnima. On the day of Sharad Purnima, Shri Krishna Paramatma formed a divine rasa in Vrindavan. According to Dashamskandha Purvardha and Chapter 7 of this Purvardha, Lord Krishna came to Vrindavan on the day of Sharad Purnima and chanted Venunada; And revealed a seed called "Clean" in that vein. This "clean" is the Kamaraj seed. Venunad Rasrupa was heard by the gopis, but what was inside the gopis was to get to Lord Krishna. So on that Purnima day the gopis met with Lord Krishna and formed a divine rasa.

Spiritually, Gopi is not a woman. Gopi is not even a man. But Gopi is the name of a price! Gopi is defined in Sanskrit. That is, the one who practices Nitya Bhaktiras is Gopi. Thus, it is spiritually said that the jiva is the "gopi"; And Sharad Purnima becomes meaningful only when the jiva connects with Paramatma, and it has a relationship with Paramatma.

According to Shrimad Devi Bhagwat and Brahmavaivartak Purana, there is also a statement of worship of Lakshmi Mataji on the day of Sharad Purnima. Worshiping Lakshmi in the autumn carpet is a special grace of Lakshmi Mataji. According to Shrimad Devi Bhagwat Navamskandh, this autumn Kalin Lakshmi Mataji was worshiped by the Kushdhvaj and Dharmadhvaj kings. The moon of Sharad Purnima is like nectar. We have not seen or experienced the nectar of heaven, but the moon of Sharad Purnima is the nectar and that is why the moon is called "Sudhanshu". If we sit under the coolness of the moon of Sharad Purnima, that coolness will defeat our three heats. Diseases like bile are also cured if milk and paniva are consumed after a while under the coolness of the moon of Sharad Purnima. That is why it is important to eat milk and powder on this day. When Sharad Poonam came, Yashoda Mataji used to give milk and powder to Lord Krishna by soaking. On that occasion Dwarika also remembers Lord Krishna. Sometimes he says, "Mataji used to give me Sharad Purnima by soaking milk and powder during the day."

According to scholars, another spiritual value is that even Narasimha Mehta had a vision of God's Ras-lila on Sharad Purnima. So Sharad Purnima is the Purnima that makes life interesting. Our life should be interesting. The word rasa has become rasa. Thus, the name of God is Ras-Raj. Sharad Purnima is to know Rasarup Paramatma and to know Rasarup Paramatma and to bring the form of that Paramatma in our heart temple. In fact, to know Rasarup Paramatma is knowledge and to enjoy Rasarup Paramatma is called Bhakti. If there is a Purnima that identifies the identity of Gyan Bhakti, it is Sharad Purnima. The gopis have also known and enjoyed God.

So at the time of such a full moon, we can know the interesting God. The giver of interest is Lord Krishna. So let us also celebrate Sharad Purnima and make our life interesting, know the interesting God and make our life fulfilling. Astu !.
