Papankusha Ekadashi 2024: Like all Ekadashi in Hindu religion, Papankusha Ekadashi also has special significance. Like all Ekadashi, the fast of this Ekadashi is also dedicated to Lord Vishnu. On this day the Padmanabha form of Sri Hari is worshipped.
There is a religious belief that due to the effect of fasting on Papankusha Ekadashi, the sins of many births are removed and one attains a place at the feet of Lord Vishnu. This year Papakunsha Ekadashi is today on Sunday, 13 October 2024. But not only today but also tomorrow i.e. on 14th October, the fast of Papankusha Ekadashi will be observed, because this year Papankusha Ekadashi is not falling on one but two days.
Papankusha Ekadashi is not one but two days
According to astrologer Anish Vyas, Papankusha Ekadashi fast is on both 13th and 14th October 2024. Householders will observe Ekadashi fast on 13 October 2024 and will break the fast on 14 October. Whereas Vaishnavs will keep the fast of Papankusha Ekadashi on 14th October and break the Ekadashi fast (Ekadashi Vrat Paran) on 15th October.
Auspicious Ravi Yoga will be on Papankusha Ekadashi (Ravi yog on Papankusha Ekadashi)
It will be very auspicious to keep fast on Papankusha Ekadashi this year, because Ravi Yoga is falling on this day. Ravi Yoga will be there from 06:21 am on 13th October till 02:51 pm the next day on 14th October. All kinds of defects are removed by the worship, fasting and charity etc. done in this yoga, because the influence of Surya Dev increases a lot in this yoga.
What should be done if Ekadashi fast is observed for two consecutive days?
Such a coincidence happens many times, when Ekadashi fast is observed for two consecutive days. In such a situation, one should fast on the first day. Ekadashi falling on the second day is called Duji Ekadashi, which is observed by ascetics, widows and people wishing to attain salvation. Vaishnavs also keep fast on the day of Duji Ekadashi.
