Vesak (Buddha Purnima, Buddha Jayanti) is a Buddhist festival that marks Gautama Buddha's birth and enlightenment.
Vesak is one of the most important Buddhist festivals. It is a celebration of Buddha's birthday and, for some Buddhists, marks his enlightenment (when he discovered life's meaning).
The sole purpose of celebrating Vesak is to spread Love , Peace and Harmony.
Buddhist Mantra
Buddham saranam gacchami - I go to the Buddha for refuge.
Dhammam saranam gacchami - I go to the Dhamma for refuge
Sangham saranam gacchami - I go to the Sangha for refuge.
Meaning of Mantra
This mantra is not for just chanting but it encourages you to investigate your own self.
Buddha means the one who takes us from the darkness to light , to wisdom , to higher self .
Dhamma means practicing the purity of mind.
Sangha means community where people help and support each other and live in peace and harmony.
It shows that there is there is some bigger higher force and how can we access that higher force and that is by surrendering ourselves to that higher force only that we can attain the true meaning of life.
So on this pious occasion of Buddha Purnima lets promise to ourselves to spread love and harmony to everyone around ourselves. to help those who are in need . Lets spread joy and happiness.

Amollikaa
Be blessed and live happy !
