Ekadashi holds a significant place within the auspices of Hinduism. The observance of Ekadashi, the eleventh day of the lunar cycle, is considered highly sacred. It is a day dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is celebrated twice a month, once during the waxing moon period (Shukla Paksha), and once during the waning moon period (Krishna Paksha).
Each Ekadashi has a unique name and significance, defined by the mythology and religious texts of Hinduism. The year 2023 will witness the celebration of 24 Ekadashis, starting with Putrada Ekadashi on January 13, followed by Shattila Ekadashi on January 28. However, the observance doesn't end there. The month of February will see the celebration of Jaya Ekadashi and Vijaya Ekadashi, falling on 11th and 27th of the month respectively.
March will host two important Ekadashis, Amalaki Ekadashi and Papmochani Ekadashi. This pattern continues throughout the year, with each month featuring two Ekadashis. Some of the notable Ekadashis include Yogini Ekadashi in June, Kamika Ekadashi in July, Parsva Ekadashi in September, and Utpanna Ekadashi in November. The last Ekadashi of the year, Mokshada Ekadashi, will be observed on December 7, 2023.
Each Ekadashi bears immense spiritual importance. The day is marked by fasting, prayer, meditation, and charity. Devotees spend the day chanting mantras, reading scriptures, and offering prayers to Lord Vishnu. Not just a religious obligation, Ekadashi is also a day of introspection and spiritual progress. In the fast-paced world of today, the observance of Ekadashi provides an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with one's spirituality.
As we look forward to the upcoming Ekadashis in 2023, let's embrace these sacred days as opportunities to enhance our spiritual growth, extend our gratitude and devotion to Lord Vishnu, and continue the rich traditions of Hinduism. Whether you are a staunch devotee or a curious observer, the sacred Ekadashis of 2023 offer a unique spiritual journey for all.
