💐Significance Of Devutthana Ekadashi💐

                           In Hinduism, Devutthana Ekadashi has great spiritual significance. It is thought that attaining spiritual enlightenment and being freed from the cycle of birth and death can result from fasting and rituals on this day. “Prabodhini” means “awakening,” and it refers to the soul’s transition from ignorance to knowledge.

🌻 Tulsi Vivah and Devutthana Ekadashi?🌻 

                         Tulsi Vivah is performed as part of a ritual on the eve of Prabodhini Ekadashi. Tulsi, a sacred plant, and God Shaligram, a manifestation of Lord Vishnu, engage in Tulsi Vivah. Another name for Tulsi is “Vishnu Priya.” Hindu scriptures and legends state that in order to obtain the virtue of Kanyadaan, couples who do not have a daughter or a girl child must once in their lives complete the Tulsi Vivah ceremony.

🌻 Do not make these mistakes on Dev Uthani Ekadashi: 🌻

                              On Dev Uthani Ekadashi, do not, even by accident, pluck tulsi. Give Tulsi Mata a crimson chunari as well. Under the tulsi plant, light a lamp. Today is not the day to eat rice. Remain composed. Preserve harmony, tranquility, and joy within the home. On this day, stay away from toxic foods like meat, onions, garlic, alcohol, and stale food at home.
