Today's Fast/Festival
The first Ekadashi of the Jyeshtha month, i.e., Apara Ekadashi, will be observed on 23rd May 2025. Observing the fast of Apara Ekadashi absolves one of sins as grave as Brahma-hatya (killing a Brahmin) and brings happiness and prosperity in life. This Ekadashi, falling on 23rd May 2025, is the first Ekadashi of the Jyeshtha month.
Legend of Apara Ekadashi
In ancient times, there was a righteous king named Mahidhwaj. His younger brother Vajradhwaj harbored jealousy in his heart. Out of greed, he murdered his own brother. As a result of this sin, Vajradhwaj was reborn as a restless spirit after death and wandered for many years. One day, Sage Dhaumya arrived at that place and, using his spiritual powers, understood the entire situation. He observed the Apara Ekadashi fast, pleased Lord Vishnu, and dedicated the merit of the fast to Vajradhwaj. Due to the power of the earned merit, Vajradhwaj was liberated, attained a divine body, and ascended to the heavenly realm.
