Indira Ekadashi 2023: In the Hindu religion, Ekadashi is regarded as one of the most significant and important days. This day is set aside for Lord Vishnu’s worship. The faithful keep a tight fast. On this auspicious day of Ekadashi, some devotees observe a fast that includes not even drinking water (the Nirjala Fast) or they only eat fruits while praying to Lord Vishnu. They break their fast on Dwadashi Tithi, the day after Ekadashi. In total, there are 24 Ekadashi celebrations each year.

Every two months, on Ekadashi, Krishna Paksha and Shukla Paksha, respectively. It is said that devotees who keep the Ekadashi fast are blessed with joy, prosperity, and salvation (Moksha) by Lord Vishnu.

He was a devoted follower of Lord Vishnu. Maharishi Narad showed up while the monarch was sitting in his court one day.

Then, Maharishi Narad enquired as to the king’s seven senses’ functionality. King, amused, questioned Narad muni as to why he was posing such a query. Then, Narad muni revealed to him that he travelled from Brahmaloka to Yamloka. He encountered the King’s father in the Yamloka. From the Yamloka, the King’s father has given him a message.

King’s father delivered the warning that because of his misdeeds, he is residing close to Yamloka and is unable to enter paradise. Therefore, my dear son, you ought to routinely observe a fast on Indira Ekadashi of the Ashwin month. that I can ascend to heaven.

Then, King asked Maharishi Narad to explain the Indira Ekadashi Fasting process to him. Narad Ji advised him to get up early on Ashwin Month’s dashmi and take a bath. Then, in the afternoon, he should use a river as another toilet. After that, he must perform shrad for his ancestor and partake of food once. He needs to perform a sankalp of the vrat on the day of Ekadashi. After that, keep the fast. Perform Jagran and nighttime adoration of the Lord.

The king follows Narad Ji’s instructions to the letter. As a result, the father of the monarch rides a garud to Vishnuloka. The King was also showered with flowers. King left his son as his heir when he left for Swarglok.

Legend Behind The Vrat

Legend has it that King Indrasen of Mahishmati Nagar was a mighty devotee of Lord Vishnu during the Satyuga. In his Mahishmati realm, everyone lived contentedly and there was no unrest. Devarshi Narada Muni showed up in the king’s court one day as he was having a conversation with his ministers when they were seated in the court.

The sage Narada told the king that although everyone in the kingdom was living in peace, your father was bound to live in Yamaloka because of his poor karma. When King Indrasen learned of this, he inquired of Devarshi Narada regarding the condition of his father’s soul. The sage advised him to fast on Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha of Ashwin month in order to atone for his father’s transgressions.

Then King Indrasen inquired of Sage Narada regarding the Ekadashi vrat. Narada advised taking a river bath on the tenth day and doing Shradh for your ancestors just one day before Indira Ekadashi. Worship Lord Vishnu on Ekadashi and then indulge in fruit in the evening. Your father would gain virtue from keeping this fast. Together with his brothers, King Indrasen observed the ritual fast of Indira Ekadashi. As a result, his father was saved, and once King Indrasen passed away, his soul entered heaven.
