Once a year, on a particular full moon, a saint-like star reveals its presence in the sky.
This star is called “Agastya” (Sanskrit) or “Canopus” (western astrology).
This is the brightest star in the southern constellation of Carina, and the 2nd brightest in the night-time sky, after Sirius.
The Toxic Water Epidemic
Not even the best instruments (water filters) can purify water because it is completely soluble. Even boiling water properly, a more powerful water purification technique, may not fully remove the toxins as they are completely dissolved into the water.
In fact, one of the main sources of diseases in this day of age (Kali Yuga) is from (creatures/micro-organisms in) water.
It is known Reverse Osmosis removes essential minerals, but what more is that it removes Prana (life-force) and Ojas (vital-essence) from the water. Another reason why boiling water is so important is that it brings back Prana to some extent.
The Ultimate Water Purifier
So, on the full moon of “Sharad Purnima,” occurring around October/November according to the Georgian calendar, ALL WATER exposed to sunlight that day, and then to moonlight that night, becomes NECTAR. This full moon is the Ultimate Water Purifier.
*(Very dirty and contaminated water will have to be further purified).
Every year nature organises this full moon to arrive in India at the middle of the monsoon, to purify all the acid and toxins built up from the beginning of the monsoon, and pave the way for a fresh and clean winter.
Lakes, rivers, water stations, dams, catchment areas all exposed to the moon become so pure.
Swim in them, drink the fresh nectar, see, acknowledge and unify with the Divine in water. Because water is the embodiment of Mother (Maha Devi) – the giver of life, nourishing, nurturing, protecting, has infinite adaptability is abundant and transcendent.
Ritual and Practice for Sharad Purnima Full Moon
Drink sweet boiled milk with spices that night, and during cooking and drinking it, expose it to the moonlight to invigorate and fortify the milk.
Look at the reflection of the moon in your cup of milk. It will look like a full moon eclipse (see photo).
Then it is Prasad (holy food). Drinking it will boost ojas in you, stregnthen your immunity and digestion, remove acidity from the body and leave you feeling nourished.
This ritual is best done as close to mid-night as possible.
