“Saare Vraton ka Raja – Ekadashi, jo paap bhi kaate aur moksha ka raasta khole.”
Hindu Panchang ke anusaar 2026 me 24 Ekadashi Vrat padenge, jo Lord Vishnu ko samarpit hote hain. Har Ekadashi ka apna ek alag spiritual power hota hai — koi paap nash karti hai, koi wish poori, to koi seedha moksha ka dwar khol deti hai.
📅 2026 ki pehli Ekadashi: Shatila Ekadashi – 14 January
Yeh dates reliable Panchang calendars (New Delhi & North India) ke hisaab se confirm ki gayi hain, jisme thodi regional variation ho sakti hai.

📿 Ekadashi Vrat Rules (Simple & Effective)
Dashami (Ek din pehle):
-
Ek baar bhojan
-
Anaaj, pyaz, lehsun avoid
Ekadashi ke din:
-
Fruits, doodh, sabudana allowed
-
Rice, wheat, grains bilkul mana
-
Mantra jaap: “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya”
-
Gita paath aur daan ka vishesh mahatva
Parana (Dwadasi):
-
Surya uday ke baad
-
Trishodashi se pehle
🚫 Baal kaatna, jhaadu lagana, ped-paudhe todna mana hai — kyunki har jeev me Narayan ka vaas hota hai.
🌼 Ekadashi ka Mahatva
Shastron me Ekadashi ko “Vraton ka Raja” kaha gaya hai.
Padma Purana ke anusaar, yeh vrat:
-
Paapon ka nash karta hai
-
Pitraon ko swarg gati deta hai
-
Yagya se bhi zyada punya deta hai
💫 Jo bhakt shraddha se Ekadashi rakhta hai, us par Vishnu kripa nishchit hoti hai.
