Boost Business Luck on Jyestha Purnima with These Simple Tips
Jyestha Purnima (the full moon day of the Jyestha month) holds special significance. On this day, the Vat Purnima fast is also observed. It is believed that bathing in the Ganga or any holy river on Jyestha Purnima helps cleanse all sins. Jyestha Purnima is on June 11 this year. According to Celebrity Astrologer Parduman Suri, those whose businesses are not yielding profits should worship the Peepal tree on this day. The Peepal tree is believed to be the abode of Lord Narayan and the ancestors (Pitrs). On Jyestha Purnima, offer water from a vessel mixed with raw milk and sugar or batasha (a sweet) to the Peepal tree. Also light a lamp under the tree. This pleases the ancestors and brings blessings from Lord Narayan and Goddess Lakshmi. Observing a fast on this day is said to bring happiness, prosperity, peace in the family, and fulfillment of wishes. Donating water-filled pitchers, clothes, grains, umbrellas, fans, etc., is considered highly auspicious. In some regions, Vat Savitri Vrat is also observed on Jyestha Purnima instead of Jyestha Amavasya. Rituals and Remedies for Jyestha Purnima * This day is especially dear to Goddess Lakshmi. Worship her along with Lord Narayan and offer them kheer (a sweet rice pudding). * Invite five young girls to your home, serve them food, give them dakshina (a token offering), and see them off by touching their feet. Goddess Lakshmi is believed to be very pleased with this act. If you continue this ritual on every Purnima (full moon), it is said that your hardships will soon end, and wealth will flow freely. * Reciting the Lakshmi Stotra and Kanakadhara Stotra on this day is considered very auspicious. * Small sea shells (Cowries) are highly favored by Goddess Lakshmi. Apply turmeric and saffron to 11 cowries, worship them along with Goddess Lakshmi, and recite the Kanakadhara Stotra. The next day, wrap the cowries in a red cloth and place them in your locker or wardrobe. This is believed to bring wealth and prosperity to the home.

Neither the BJP govt nor any of its ministers have come forward to demand action against those behind such posts," Akhilesh wrote on his X account."Such online trolls lower the morale of dedicated bureaucrats who work hard to serve the country.

"CBI, ED, cyber security units and other agencies should unmask those behind trolling," Akhilesh said."It is strange that the BJP govt that shuts down India's reputed YouTube channels at the drop of a hat, is silent on such people. If all this (trolling) is not happening with BJP's tacit understanding then it is a serious threat to the country's internal security," he said."They openly spew venom against anyone, and no one can stop them. If action is not initiated within next 24 hours, it will be clear as to who all are involved in this," he said.
