Buddha Purnima 2021: History, significance, wishes, greetings, HD images, WhatsApp, Facebook status

On the full moon day of Vaishakh month, the birth anniversary of Lord Gautam Buddha is celebrated as the auspicious occasion of Buddha Purnima or Vesak. This year the occasion falls on May 26, which coincides with Blood Moon, Supermoon and the first Lunar Eclipse of the year. Lord Buddha was the founder of Buddhism and was born as Prince Siddhartha Gautama (c. 563-483 BCE). Hindus and Buddhists all over the world celebrate this day with enthusiasm and zeal. A day before Purnima, Hindus celebrate Nrisimha Jayanti and on Purnima, they observe Kurma Jayanti. On this day, devotees worship Lord Vishnu and seek blessing for a healthy and happy life. They also perform charity, fasting, hold Satyanarayan Katha.

The word Purnima means full moon, and it is used in this context because Nepalese people celebrate the date on the May full moon. It has gained this significance because Buddha was born in Nepal. In Sri Lanka, Buddha Purnima is celebrated as Vesak. Here are some wishes, quotes, messages, and SMSs to send your family and friends on Buddha Purnima 2021:
