Devshayani Ekadashi, also known as Dev Shayani Ekadashi or Ashadhi Ekadashi, is an important Hindu fasting day that falls on the 11th day (Ekadashi) of the bright half of the Hindu month of Ashadha (usually in June or July). This Ekadashi marks the beginning of the Chaturmas, a four-month period when Lord Vishnu is believed to be in a state of deep cosmic sleep (Yoganidra) on the serpent Shesha. It is also known as “Shayani Ekadashi” because it signifies the “sleeping” or resting period for Lord Vishnu.
Devshayani Ekadashi is observed with great devotion and fasting by Hindus, particularly in the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat in India. Devotees fast from grains and perform puja (worship) to Lord Vishnu, seeking his blessings and protection during this time. It is believed that observing this fast and participating in religious activities on this day can cleanse one’s sins and lead to spiritual growth. The fast typically begins at sunrise and continues until the next day.
The legend associated with this Ekadashi revolves around King Mandhata, a righteous and pious ruler, who was blessed by Lord Vishnu after observing the Devshayani Ekadashi fast. The observance of this Ekadashi is believed to bring peace, prosperity, and spiritual growth to the devotees.
