Importance of Adhik Maas Puja
Adheek Maas also called “Purushottam Maas” or “Maal Maas” is a very unique concept in the Hindu Lunar Calendar, which is based on the cycles of the moon. According to the Hindu calendar, the length of a lunar month is 29.5 days as compared to 30 - 31 days of a solar month and a year consists of 354 days. Thus there is a difference of 11 days between a solar and lunar year. In three years this difference leads to the addition of a new lunar month in the calendar to match it with the solar calendar, this month is called “Adhik Maas”. Adhik Maas includes worshipping Lord Krishna and Lord Vishnu for the blessings of a prosperous and successful life. During the month, people perform several rituals like prayers, pathas, recitation of mantras, fasts, Homam, havans etc.
As per the legend, there used to be only twelve months in the lunar year which were assigned to twelve different gods. But Rishi-Munis calculated a new 13 months and declared its importance. But this new month was not assigned to any god, so it went to Lord Vishnu for this situation. Lord Vishnu assigned “Adhik Maas” to himself and gave it the name “Purushottam Maas”. Further, Lord Vishnu gave this maas utmost importance by advising that the benefits of yagyas, jaap, daan, etc. performed in other months can be achieved by observing Adik Maas Vrat.
