Agar aap soch rahe hain ki ‘Ekadashi kab ki hai’ toh aap bilkul sahi jagah aayen hain. Ekadashi ek bahut hi pavitra aur auspicious tithi hai jo har mahine mein do baar aati hai ek baar Shukla Paksha mein (chaand ke badhne ke waqt) aur ek baar Krishna Paksha mein (chaand ke ghattne ke waqt). Hindu panchang ke anusar, yeh chandra maas ki 11vi tithi hoti hai. ‘Ekadashi’ shabd Sanskrit se aaya hai jiska matlab hai ‘gyarah’ matlab chandra maas ka 11va din.
Bhagwan Vishnu ke bhakton ke liye Ekadashi ka vrat sabse important aur punyadayi vrat maana jaata hai. Puranic granth kehte hain ki jo log sachche man se Ekadashi ka vrat rakhte hain, unhe sabhi paapon se mukti milti hai aur ant mein moksha ki praapti hoti hai. Ek saal mein kul 24 Ekadashiyan aati hain aur agar kisi saal Adhik Maas (leap month) aata hai, toh yeh count 26 tak pahunch jaata hai. 2026 mein Adhik Maas hone ki wajah se is saal 26 Ekadashiyan hain.
Ekadashi Ki Kahani – Kab Aur Kyun Shuru Hua Yeh Vrat?
Puraanik katha ke anusar, ek baar Brahmanda mein ‘Mura’ naam ka ek bada hi khaufnak raakshas tha jisne teeno lokon mein taahandav macha rakha tha. Swayam Bhagwaan Vishnu usse yudh mein hara nahi pa rahe the. Is mushkil ghadi mein Bhagwaan Vishnu ke shareer se ek divya shakti pragat hui jo unke krodh aur tejas se janmi thi. Usne Mura raakshas ka vadh kar diya. Bhagwaan Vishnu ne us divya shakti ka naam ‘Ekadashi’ rakha aur unhe yeh varon diya ki jo bhi manushya iis tithi par vrat rakhega uske sabhi paap dho jaayenge aur woh Vaikunthdham ko prapt hoga.
Tabse lekar aaj tak Ekadashi Devi ki smriti mein har 11vi tithi ko Ekadashi ka vrat rakha jaata hai. Yeh sirf ek dharmaik parampara nahi, balki ek scientific aur spiritual practice bhi hai jo shareer aur man dono ko detox karti hai.
Ekadashi Ka Mahatva – Kyun Rakhna Chahiye Yeh Vrat?
Ekadashi vrat ka mahatva sirf dharmik drashti se nahi, balki shareerik aur manasik swasthya ki drashti se bhi bahut zyada hai. Aayurveda mein bhi maana jaata hai ki mahine mein do baar upwaas rakhne se paachan tantra swasth rehta hai. Aadhunik vigyan bhi intermittent fasting ke fayde manta hai aur Ekadashi bilkul usi concept par based hai.
- Paap Naash – Ekadashi vrat se samast janam-janam ke paapon ka naash hota hai.
- Moksha Ki Praapti – Padma Purana kehta hai ki sachche man se Ekadashi vrat rakhne wale ko janm-mrityu ke chakkar se mukti milti hai.
- Manokaamna Poori Hoti Hai – Kamada aur Putrada Ekadashi jaise vrat vishesh kamnaon ke liye kiye jaate hain.
- Shareer Ki Shuddhi – Upwaas rakhne se aantarik organs ko aaram milta hai aur body detox hoti hai.
- Mann Ki Shaanti – Pooja, paath aur bhajan se mann shant hota hai aur stress door hota hai.
- Pitra Dosh Shaanti – Aja, Indira aur Kamika Ekadashi vishesh roop se pitron ki atma ki shaanti ke liye ki jaati hain.
