Guru Purnima
The Ashadha full moon marks the birth of sage Vyasa — the rishi who split the single Veda into four and dictated the Mahabharata to Ganesha. It is also the day the Buddha gave his first sermon at Sarnath, and the day Shiva, as Adi Guru, first taught the Saptarishis.

About
Vyasa was born Krishna Dvaipayana to sage Parashara and Satyavati. He earned the name 'Vyasa' — literally 'the one who divides' — by sorting the Vedic hymns into Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva, and teaching one branch each to his four disciples Paila, Vaisampayana, Jaimini and Sumantu. He is also credited with the 18 Puranas and the Brahma Sutras. This is why the shastras fix today as the start of Chaturmas, the four-month monsoon retreat when seekers traditionally begin study of the Brahma Sutras. Buddhists mark the same full moon as the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta — the Buddha's first sermon to five monks at Sarnath — and monks begin vassa, their own rains retreat. In the yogic stream, Shiva turned south as Dakshinamurti on this day and silently transmitted yoga to the Saptarishis.

Festival Pooja & Pandit Booking

Want a Pandit-led pooja for this festival at home, or online if you live abroad? Dharmayana connects you with verified Pandits for all major Hindu festivals — Diwali, Navratri, Shivratri, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi and more.

You can book:

  • Festival pooja at home with a verified Pandit

Bookings, samagri lists and Pandit assignment are all handled inside the Dharmayana app — choose the festival, pick a date and the rest is taken care of.

Prarthana, Mantras & Vrat Katha

Every festival has its own prarthanas, stotras and vrat kathas. Reading or listening to them on the festival day is the simplest way to observe the tradition at home.

Inside the Dharmayana app you can listen to:

  • 1000+ prarthanas, mantras and stotras with clear audio
  • Festival-specific kathas — Lakshmi, Durga, Shiva, Ganesha, Krishna
  • Multilingual versions: Sanskrit, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and more

Browse the full collection of prarthanas or get the app to play them on the festival morning without ads.

Festival Date, Tithi & Muhurat

Hindu festivals are tied to a specific Tithi, not a fixed date — so the day shifts every year and even varies slightly across cities.

Open the Panchanga for the festival day to see the exact Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Shubh Muhurat for pooja in your location.

The Dharmayana app keeps track of all upcoming festivals on the Hindu calendar and reminds you in advance.

Personalised Astrology Around Festivals

Festivals are also a good time to look at your kundali — many families plan sankalp, donations or new beginnings around them.

Inside the app you can:

  • Generate your personal Vedic kundali
  • Talk to a Jyotisha for guidance around career, relationships or health
  • Run kundali matching before fixing a marriage during the festival season

All of this is available inside the Dharmayana app — no fixed schedule, use it whenever you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hindu festivals — like Diwali, Navratri, Mahashivaratri, Holi and Janmashtami — mark sacred moments tied to deities, seasons and lunar/solar cycles. Each festival has its own story, vrat, prarthana and rituals, and is timed using the Panchanga so the date moves slightly every year against the Gregorian calendar.
