The Best Day To Please Lord Vishnu

By -
Lord Vishnu is said to be the creator of the world and the manager of destiny. He can be seen sitting on the many-headed snake who is said to be the ‘Kalswarup Sheshnag –The king of snakes’. He has a smiling and calm face with a lot of intelligence in his eyes. He is also said to be the kindest God, who immediately fulfills the wishes of his ardent devotees. Keeping in mind his kindness and blessings on us, here is the day on which we should for sure pray Lord Vishnu. The effects will be immediate and fruitful. That day is none other than Devshayani Ekadashi. The day he wakes up is known as Prabodhini Ekadashi.

Devshayani Ekadashi is also known as Padma Ekadashi, Ashadi Ekadashi, and Hari Shayani Ekadashi. This happens on the 11th day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Ashadha (June- July). On this day Lord Vishnu goes to sleep for a period of four months in the Ksheer Sagar (cosmic ocean of milk). He sleeps in his signature position of Ananta Sayana on the Kalswarup Sheshnag. On the year 2017, it will fall on 4th July.

How Is Devshayani Ekadashi Lucky?

It is believed that worshiping Lord Vishnu and Goddess Mahalaxmi and fasting as well, on this day has many benefits. In the scripture Bhavishyottara Purana, God Krishna has narrated the significance of Shayani Ekadashi to Yudhishthira. The story of King Mandata is narrated in this context.

King Mandhata was a very dedicated and pious king of his empire. Peace and prosperity resided in the kingdom for a long time until, once there was a severe drought when crops were harmed, less availability of water and food was there, spreading of deadly diseases and all sorts of unwanted things took place. After a lot of struggle, King Mandhata once decided to refer the sage Angira, who asked him to observe Devshayani Ekadashi. After his dedicated worship to Lord Vishnu, things slowly fall into place and his kingdom regained all their happiness. Below mentioned are certain benefits of the Fast!
  • You can get rid of your past life sins.
  • Get cure of all major as well as minor diseases.
  • Bring in prosperity and wealth.

It is basically the power of Deva Yajna. In this way, we pay off our debt for the blessings received from the devas. If you read the Bhagavad Gita (3:10–13), Lord Krishna says, ‘In ancient times, having created mankind together with this yajna, the Lord of Creation said: ‘By this yajna, you shall propagate. Let this yajna be the fulfiller of all your desires. You shall nourish the devas, the shining ones, by this yajna, and may the devas nourish you.
