🐚Mohini Ekadashi - मोहिनी एकादशी

Updated: Apr 25, 2025 13:05 PM | About | Related Information | Read Also

Ekadashi Date: Thursday, 8 May 2025

As per the Hindu calendar, each month’s 11th tithi is called Ekadashi. Ekadashi is considered a day dedicated to Bhagwan Vishnu. There are two Ekadashi due to having two paksha's in a month, one on the Shukla Paksha and the other on the Krishna Paksha. Thus, there can be at least 24 Ekadashi in a year, but in the case of Adhik Mas (extra months), this number can also be 26.

The fast for Ekadashi is related to the three-day routine. Devotees do not take the evening meal after taking food in the afternoon a day before the fasting day, to ensure that there is no residual food left in the stomach the next day. Devotees strictly follow the rules of fasting on Ekadashi. And the next day ends the fast only after sunrise. Eating all types of grains is forbidden during Ekadashi fast.

[i]Those who do not keep Ekadashi fast for any reason, should not use rice in food on the day of Ekadashi and should avoid lies and blasphemy. The person who read Vishnusahsranam on Ekadashi, has special blessings of Bhagwan Vishnu.

[/i]The dates of Ekadashi fast may vary according to the different followers of the Vaishnav community. Know the dates of ISKCON Ekadashi Calendar 2025!

Trisparsha Ekadashi Mahayog

When there is Ekadashi, Dwadashi and Trayodashi in the same day, it is called Trisprasha Ekadashi. Trisparsha Ekadashi Mahayog Katha in Hindi

Types of Ekasadhi in Hindi

एकादशी दो प्रकार की होती है। 1 सम्पूर्णा 2. विद्धा
1) सम्पूर्णा - जिस तिथि में केवल एकादशी तिथि होती है अन्य किसी तिथि का उसमे मिश्रण नहीं होता उसे सम्पूर्णा एकादशी कहते है।

2) विद्धा एकादशी पुनः दो प्रकार की होती है
2. A) पूर्वविद्धा - दशमी मिश्रित एकादशी को पूर्वविद्धा एकादशी कहते हैं। यदि एकादशी के दिन अरुणोदय काल (सूरज निकलने से 1घंटा 36 मिनट का समय) में यदि दशमी का नाम मात्र अंश भी रह गया तो ऐसी एकादशी पूर्वविद्धा दोष से दोषयुक्त होने के कारण वर्जनीय है यह एकादशी दैत्यों का बल बढ़ाने वाली है। पुण्यों का नाश करने वाली है।

वासरं दशमीविधं दैत्यानां पुष्टिवर्धनम ।
मदीयं नास्ति सन्देह: सत्यं सत्यं पितामहः ॥ [पद्मपुराण]
दशमी मिश्रित एकादशी दैत्यों के बल बढ़ाने वाली है इसमें कोई भी संदेह नहीं है।

2. B) परविद्धा - द्वादशी मिश्रित एकादशी को परविद्धा एकादशी कहते हैं।
द्वादशी मिश्रिता ग्राह्य सर्वत्र एकादशी तिथि।
द्वादशी मिश्रित एकादशी सर्वदा ही ग्रहण करने योग्य है।

इसलिए भक्तों को परविद्धा एकादशी ही रखनी चाहिए। ऐसी एकादशी का पालन करने से भक्ति में वृद्धि होती है। दशमी मिश्रित एकादशी से तो पुण्य क्षीण होते हैं।

** एकादशी ये उपरोक्त मत वैष्णव, गौड़ीय वैष्णव एवं इस्कॉन संप्रदाय के मतानुसार है।
