Narada Jayanti 2025: Know Significance, Puja Vidhi, Auspicious Time, Date And More

Narada Jayanti is celebrated as the birth anniversary of Devrishi Narada Muni. According to Vedic Puranas and mythologies, Devrishi Narada is a universal divine messenger and the primary source of information among the Gods.

Narada Muni has the unique ability to travel across all three realms: Akash (Heaven), Prithvi (Earth), and Patal (Netherworld). He is often regarded as the first journalist on Earth, constantly journeying through the universe to share information. While much of the information he conveys may cause trouble, it ultimately serves to improve the universe.
