🚩 Mohini Ekadashi 2025 🚩
About Mohini Ekadashi:
For Hindus, Mohini Ekadashi is considered to be one of the most significant fasting days. Lord Vishnu and his incarnation form, Mohini, are worshipped on the day of Mohini Ekadashi. To atone for their previous transgressions and lead luxurious lives, devotees conduct a Mohini Ekadashi fast.
Although this day is observed in North India and the surrounding regions during the month of Vaisakh, it falls during the month of Chithirai in the Tamil calendar, the month of Jyestho in the Bengali calendar, and the month of Edava in the Malayalam calendar. Hindu devotees commemorate this occasion to obtain divine blessings for living a happy and successful life.

💐Significance Of Mohini Ekadashi💐
The first people to tell Lord Rama and Lord Sri Krishna about the glory of Mohini Ekadashi were the saints Vasistha and Maharaja Yudhisthira. It is thought that if someone follows the Mohini Ekadashi vrat completely and sincerely, he will receive far more “Punya,” or good deeds, than he would by going on pilgrimages, giving alms, or even doing yagnas. The person who keeps the fast gains the same rewards as someone who gives up a thousand cows to charity. By following this holy vow, one can become free from the never-ending cycle of birth and death and find salvation. In Hindu mythology, Mohini Ekadashi is very important. For additional information regarding the significance of Mohini Ekadashi, one can even read the “Surya Purana.”
