The full moon of Bhadra
Bhadra Purnima 2026
Sponsor Srimad Bhagavatam and let the ripened fruit of Vedic wisdom reach many more homes.
26 September 2026
निगमकल्पतरोर्गलितं फलं
शुकमुखादमृतद्रवसंयुतम्।
पिबत भागवतं रसमालयं
मुहुरहो रसिका भुवि भावुकाः॥
nigama-kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalaṁ
śuka-mukhād amṛta-drava-saṁyutam
pibata bhāgavataṁ rasam ālayaṁ
muhur aho rasikā bhuvi bhāvukāḥ
The Bhāgavatam is the ripened fruit of the tree of Vedic literature, made sweeter still by passing through the lips of Śukadeva. Taste it, again and again.
Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.1.3
The occasion
- 12cantos
- 18,000verses
- 18volumes in a set
On the full moon of Bhadra, the Bhāgavatam is given away.
Bhadra Purnima marks the completion of the Bhāgavata reading — the day, described in the Skanda Purāṇa, for placing this book into another person's hands. It is one of the oldest and simplest forms of charity: not food that is eaten and gone, not cloth that wears out, but a book that is read, re-read, and quietly passes to the next generation.
This year, ISKCON Chennai invites you to sponsor a complete Śrīmad Bhāgavatam set — for your own home, as a gift in someone's name, or with any amount you can offer towards a set for someone who cannot afford one.
Free delivery anywhere within Chennai city limits.
