Within the Mahima Dharma corpus, the full-moon observances emerge as especially significant, and they are consistently interpreted through the lens of devotion to the formless Absolute, Alekh. Foremost among these is Magha Purnima (often referred to as Maghi Purnima), regarded as the central festival of the tradition. It is associated with the foundational manifestation of Mahima Dharma and with the life and mission of Mahima Gosain, and is marked by fasting, ascetic discipline, communal recitation of the divine name, and simple shared meals. The texts present this day not merely as a ritual occasion, but as a concentrated enactment of the movement’s ideals of simplicity, equality, and inward realization.

Other lunar observances are also given prominence, though always reinterpreted in a monotheistic and aniconic spirit. Kartika Purnima, for example, is observed with devotional activities, scriptural recitation, and practices that consciously avoid image-worship, and it may serve as an auspicious time for deepening commitment to the path. More broadly, full-moon days (Purnima) and, in some lineages, Ekadashi fasts function as recurring opportunities for communal prayer, devotional singing, and ethical reflection, rather than occasions for elaborate ritual. These observances retain the traditional calendrical rhythm of Odishan religious life while redirecting its focus toward the formless Brahman.

Alongside these periodic festivals, Mahima Dharma writings place sustained emphasis on daily and regular disciplines that, while modest in outward form, are treated as spiritually central. Morning and evening remembrance of Alekh through name-recitation and meditation, as well as collective prayers and simple gatherings, are portrayed as the living heart of the tradition. Guru-related days, especially those commemorating Mahima Swami’s passing, are observed through scriptural recitation, offerings of light and water, and communal chanting, with explicit rejection of material or image-based worship. In all these observances, the scriptures consistently uphold an ethic of austerity, social equality, and reform, using the calendar of sacred days as a vehicle to affirm devotion to the formless and to distance the community from caste hierarchy, sacrifice, and ritual excess.
