  1. Nirjala Ekadashi

    6월 25일

    Nirjala Ekadashi

    In Kali-yuga—the age of quarrel and hypocrisy, when Vedic principles are diminished or greatly restricted, and when proper charity, ancient Vedic practices, and sacred ceremonies are rarely observed—how can people become purified? The scriptures give us a simple and merciful opportunity: by observing Ekadashi, one can become freed from the reactions of past sins. (Brahma-vaivarta Purana) 🕊️This is the most powerful of all Ekadashis—Nirjala Ekadashi, meaning "without water." Observing this fast strictly is said to bestow the same benefit as observing all 24 Ekadashis of the year.

    Parama Ekadashi

    Parama Ekadashi is one of the most powerful Ekadashis and occurs during the sacred Purushottama Month (Adhika Masa). The word “Parama” means “supreme” or “highest,” indicating the special spiritual potency of this holy day. 🌿 According to the Vedic scriptures, observing Parama Ekadashi helps free one from the reactions of past mistakes, purifies the heart, and awakens spiritual aspiration. It is said that even small efforts made for spiritual advancement on this day yield greatly multiplied results. 🙏 On this day it is especially auspicious to: 
• observe fasting according to one’s ability;
• spend more time in prayer, meditation, and mantra chanting;
• read sacred literature;
• engage in charity and selfless service;
• reflect on one’s true spiritual nature. In the Bhagavad-gītā, Lord Krishna explains that acts of sacrifice, austerity, and charity purify the heart. Therefore, Parama Ekadashi is considered an especially favorable time for inner growth and spiritual renewal.

  3. Padmini Ekadashi

    Padmini Ekadashi

    🌹Padmini Ekadashi is an important day for spiritual practice. There are 24 Ekadashis in a year, but during Purushottama Month the number of Ekadashis increases to 26. Padmini Ekadashi comes only once every 3 years, and the power of this day is immense. 🪷Each Ekadashi is described as carrying a special spiritual potency that helps uproot certain anarthas, or unwanted qualities — everything opposed to devotion to God. It is also said that fasting on this sacred day can bless one with a virtuous son!☺️ 🙌 It is especially auspicious to observe a dry fast. If that is difficult, one may fast on water, or follow a simpler version by avoiding grains and legumes, while taking simple vegetables and nuts. It is best to prepare food at home. Spiritual practice, charity, chanting the holy names, and meditation are especially beneficial on this day. ❗️The Power of Charity on Ekadashi Charity on Ekadashi is a special means of both spiritual and material upliftment. In the Bhagavad-gītā (18.5) it is said: “One should never give up acts of sacrifice, charity, and austerity, for they purify even the great souls.” 🔹The most powerful charity is that which is given in the mode of goodness: 🔹Out of a sense of duty, without expectation of reward. 🔹At the proper time, in the proper place, and to worthy persons.

    Apara Ekadashi

    🪷 “Apara Ekadashi is the axe that cuts down the fully grown tree of sinful actions; it is the sun that rises before the darkness of one’s wicked deeds, and it is the lion stalking the deer of godlessness.” (Brahmanda Purana)

  5. Mohini Ekadashi

    Mohini Ekadashi

    Mohini Ekadashi 🍃 🪷 Ekadashi is an important spiritual day observed each month on the eleventh day of the lunar phase, both during the waxing and waning moon. It is a time when devotees around the world fast, abstaining from grains and legumes, which helps purify both the body and the mind. The mind, being by nature not spiritual but material, is influenced by everything we consume—food, thoughts, and even our associations. This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen one’s spiritual practice, make donations, and listen to the teachings (katha) of spiritual masters. 🪷 Mohini Ekadashi, like all Ekadashis, is dedicated to serving the Lord. It is named so because on this day Lord Vishnu once assumed the form of Mohini Murti, a beautiful enchantress, and performed His divine pastime (lila) with the gods and demons as they were dividing the nectar of immortality—amrita. Devotees make offerings of sandalwood, sesame seeds, bright flowers, and fruits. Offering leaves of the sacred Tulasi plant is considered especially auspicious, as it is particularly dear to the Lord. On this day, devotees also worship Rama, one of His incarnations. 🪷 On this Ekadashi, special blessings are bestowed. When Ramachandra was separated from His wife Sita Devi, He suffered deeply. He asked the sage Vashistha what He should do to find peace and overcome His sorrow. Vashistha Muni replied that Mohini Ekadashi is specifically meant to relieve such suffering. By observing it, one can break free from the nets of illusion, overcome mental distress, and be liberated from sorrow and grief. #MohiniEkadashi #fasting #Rama

  6. Varuthini Ekadashi

    4월 13일

    Varuthini Ekadashi

    The word “Varuthini” can be translated as “that which gives protection” or “one who safeguards.” It is believed that observing a fast and offering worship on this day grants a person protection from evil, spiritual growth, removal of negative karma, and the blessings of Lord Vishnu. This Ekadashi is especially revered for its power to remove misfortune, illness, and fear, and to bestow success and prosperity. 📖 According to the Padma Purana, when King Mandata observed the fast of Varuthini Ekadashi, he was freed from all sins and attained Vaikuntha—the abode of Vishnu. It is also said in the scriptures that even those who simply hear about the glories of Varuthini Ekadashi gain merit equal to performing great sacrifices. On the day of Varuthini Ekadashi, it is recommended to observe a fast—ideally abstaining completely from food and water, or following a lighter fast that includes only water, fruits, and nuts. The morning begins with bathing and chanting mantras dedicated to Lord Vishnu, especially the mantra “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya.” Offerings of food, flowers, and lamps are also made to Him. Devotees often try to remain awake throughout the night, engaging in reading sacred texts and singing bhajans. On this day, it is especially important to maintain peace in thoughts and actions, show kindness, avoid lying, anger, and harsh behavior, and, if possible, perform acts of charity. #ekadashi #varuthini

  7. Kamada Ekadashi

    3월 28일

    Kamada Ekadashi

    Kamada Ekadashi possesses such purifying power that it bestows the highest merit on those who sincerely observe it. The Padma Purana confirms this effect of Ekadashi: "By fasting on Ekadashi in childhood, youth, and old age, one is undoubtedly freed from the suffering of material existence." 📕In the story of Kamada Ekadashi, we see an example of a wife observing Ekadashi for the benefit of her husband and giving him the fruits of her austerity, because the husband, due to a curse, has fallen into such a state that he is unable to observe Ekadashi himself. And if you also have a loved one whom you want to help, but they themselves are unable to observe Ekadashi for some reason, you can observe Ekadashi for them. 🕊️The one for whom fasting is done attains complete merit. By fasting for the benefit of her husband, a wife receives 100 times more benefit than by fasting for her own sake; her husband also receives benefit from fasting. This is the conclusion of great sages well versed in the scriptures." (Vayu Purana)

  8. Papā Vimochanī Ekādaśī

    3월 14일

    Papā Vimochanī Ekādaśī

    The story of Papā Vimochanī Ekādaśī is described in the Bhaviṣya-uttara Purāṇa and is narrated by Lord Krishna to King Yudhiṣṭhira. In the beautiful Chaitraratha forest, a sage named Medhavi performed deep austerities. The forest was visited by celestial beings, including heavenly dancers (apsarās). One apsarā, Manjughosha, tried to disturb the sage’s meditation by singing and playing the veena. Eventually the sage became enchanted and forgot his spiritual practices, spending many years with her. When he finally realized how much time had passed, he became angry and cursed her to become a pishachini (a ghost-like being). The apsarā begged for forgiveness, and the sage told her that she could be freed from the curse by observing Papā Vimochanī Ekādaśī fast. Later Medhavi also felt remorse and asked his father Chyavana Ṛṣi how to atone for his mistake. His father advised him to observe the same Ekādaśī fast. Both the sage and the apsarā observed the fast with devotion. As a result: the sage was purified from his sins Manjughosha regained her celestial form both received spiritual purification. The name Papā Vimochanī literally means “the Ekādaśī that frees one from sins.”
