June 11, 2025, is considered an auspicious day according to the Hindu Panchang. This day marks the Purnima (full moon) of Jyeshtha Shukla Paksha, which holds significant importance in Hinduism as a day for bathing (Snana) and charity (Daan). This day is not only religiously significant but also holds several auspicious conjunctions astrologically. Furthermore, Sant Kabir Jayanti also falls on this day, enhancing its sanctity and importance.
This article will provide details about the auspicious timings (shubh muhurat) on June 11, 2025, Rahu Kalam, sunrise and sunset times, special yogas for bathing and charity, and other religiously significant aspects.
Significance of Purnima Tithi
According to the Hindu Panchang, the Purnima tithi of every month is considered highly sacred, but the Purnima of the Jyeshtha month holds special significance. Performing bathing, fasting (vrat), and charity on this day leads to the attainment of inexhaustible merit (akshay punya). Specifically, bathing in the Ganges and donating copper vessels (tamra-patra), water vessels (jalpatra), clothes, or food helps in the expiation of sins and leads towards moksha (liberation).
