Welcome to Purushottam Maas, also known as Adhik Maas

The Best Time for Satsang and Charitable Acts

This year, Purushottam Maas / Adhik Maas begins on Sunday, 17 May 2026 and ends on Monday, 15 June 2026. It is also known as Adhik Jyeshtha Maas in 2026.

What is Purushottam Maas?
Purushottam Maas is an extra lunar month added to the Hindu calendar. The word Adhikmeans “extra” or “additional.” This sacred month is especially dedicated to Lord Vishnu / Shri Krishna, who is also known as Purushottam, meaning “the Supreme Being.”

Why does Adhik Maas occur?
The Hindu calendar follows the lunar cycle, while the seasons follow the solar cycle. A lunar year is about 354 days, whereas the solar year is about 365 days. This creates a difference of around 11 days every year. To balance this difference and keep festivals aligned with the correct seasons, one extra lunar month is added approximately every 32 to 33 months.

Why is this month special?
Purushottam Maas is not meant for material new beginnings; it is meant for inner growth, devotion, self-discipline, charity and satsang. Our Gurus have instructed that during this sacred month we should do more japa, spend more time in reading or listening to religious books, and especially recite Purushottam Yog, which is the 15th chapter of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita.
यस्मात् क्षरमतीतोऽहमक्षरादपि चोत्तमः। अतोऽस्मि लोके वेदे च प्रथितः पुरुषोत्तमः॥
— श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता 15.18

Meaning:
Because the Lord is beyond the perishable and even higher than the imperishable, He is known in the world and in the Vedas as Purushottam.

Dos during Purushottam Maas

Spend more time in satsang, katha, bhajan, japa and scripture reading. Read or listen to Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavatam, Ramayan, Vishnu Sahasranam or other sacred texts. Recite the 15th chapter of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita — Purushottam Yog daily or as often as possible. Perform daan according to capacity—food donation, clothing, support for temples, gau-seva, helping the needy, and feeding devotees. Maintain a satvik lifestyle, speak gently, forgive others, and increase prayer and self-reflection.

Don’ts during Purushottam Maas

Avoid unnecessary arguments, harsh speech, ego, laziness, anger and greed. Traditionally, this month is not preferred for major material ceremonies such as weddings, housewarming or starting major worldly projects. Instead, it is considered highly auspicious for spiritual practices, charity, vrata, seva and devotion

ॐ प्रणवो धनु: शरो ह्यात्मा ब्रह्म तल्लक्ष्यमुच्यते । अप्रमत्तेन वेद्धव्यं शरवत्तन्मयो भवेत् ।। #मुण्डकोपनिषद

PRANAVO DHANU SHARO HYAATMAA BRAHM TALLAKSHYA MUCHYATE.
APRAMATTEN VEDADHAVYAM SHARAVATTANMAYO BHAVET. Mundakopanisad

The Sacred Word (AUM) is likened to a bow, with the soul as the arrow and Brahman as the target. When one focuses unwaveringly, allowing their attention to remain steady, they will pierce the target. Just as an arrow becomes one with the target once it has struck, the soul merges with Brahman, achieving unity.
