🚩Jaya Ekadashi 2025 🚩
About Jaya Ekadashi:
jaya Ekadashi is a fasting practice that is observed on the ‘Ekadashi’ tithi during the Shukla Paksha (the bright fortnight of moon) in the month of ‘Magh’ in the Hindu calendar. If you follow the Gregorian calendar it falls between the months of January-February. It is believed that if this Ekadashi falls on a Thursday, it is even more auspicious. This ekadashi is also celebrated in the honour of Lord Vishnu, one of the three main Hindu deities.
The Jaya Ekadashi fast is observed by almost all Hindus, especially Lord Vishnu followers to receive His divine blessings. It is also a popular belief that by keeping this ekadashi fast, all the sins get washed away and the person will attain salvation. Jaya Ekadashi is also popularly referred as ‘Bhoumi Ekadashi’ and ‘Bhishma Ekadashi’ in some Hindu communities of South India, particularly the states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

🔰Significance Of Jaya Ekadashi:🔰
The importance of Jaya Ekadashi is mentioned in the ‘Padma Purana’ and ‘Bhavisyothara Purana.’ Lord Krishna had described the importance and way of observing Ekadashi vrat to King Yudhisthira, the eldest of the five Pandavas. Jaya Ekadashi vrat can free the person from the most heinous sins such as ‘Brahma Hatya.’ Jaya Ekadashi holds immense significance for the fact that it is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and the month of ‘Magh’ in which it falls is auspicious for worshiping Lord Shiva. Hence, Jaya Ekadashi is very important for devotees of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu.
