What is Ekadashi?
In the Hindu calendar, Ekadashi refers to the eleventh lunar day (Tithi) of the two lunar phases: the Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) and the Krishna Paksha (waning moon). Occurring twice a month, Ekadashi is considered highly auspicious for spiritual practices, fasting, and deep meditation. It is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, and devotees observe this day with strict fasting and prayers to attain spiritual liberation (Moksha) and mental peace.
Spiritual Significance of Ekadashi Vrat & Fasting
Observing a fast (Vrat) on Ekadashi cleanses the physical body of toxins and helps calm the mind by reducing worldly attachments. According to Hindu scriptures, grains and beans absorb negative energies on Ekadashi, which is why refraining from consuming them is a core rule of the fast. Devotees spend their time chanting the Maha-mantra, reading Bhagavad Gita verses, reciting the Vishnu Sahasranama, and participating in night long prayers (Jagran).

एकादशी क्या है?
हिंदू कैलेंडर में, एकादशी का अर्थ प्रत्येक महीने के दोनों चंद्र पक्षों—शुक्ल पक्ष और कृष्ण पक्ष की ग्यारहवीं तिथि है। महीने में दो बार आने वाली एकादशी आध्यात्मिक साधना, उपवास और ध्यान के लिए अत्यंत पवित्र मानी जाती है। यह दिन सृष्टि के पालनहार भगवान विष्णु को समर्पित है। इस दिन श्रद्धालु व्रत रखते हैं और भगवान विष्णु की पूजा करते हैं ताकि उन्हें जन्म-मरण के चक्र से मुक्ति (मोक्ष) और मानसिक शांति प्राप्त हो सके।
एकादशी व्रत का आध्यात्मिक महत्व
एकादशी पर उपवास रखने से शरीर के विषैले तत्व बाहर निकल जाते हैं और सांसारिक विकारों से मन शांत होता है। शास्त्रों के अनुसार, एकादशी के दिन अनाज और बीन्स में नकारात्मक ऊर्जा का वास होता है, इसलिए इस दिन अनाज के सेवन से परहेज करना मुख्य नियम माना जाता है। श्रद्धालु अपना समय महामंत्र का जप करने, भगवद गीता का पाठ करने, विष्णु सहस्रनाम का पाठ करने और रात के समय भजन-कीर्तन (जागरण) में बिताते हैं।
