Devshayani Ekadashi 2025 (Social media)
Spiritual News: Today, the sacred festival of Devshayani Ekadashi is being observed across India with deep reverence and devotion. According to the Vedic calendar, this Ekadashi falls on the eleventh day (Ekadashi) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Ashadha. It marks the beginning of Lord Vishnu’s divine slumber (Yoga Nidra) in the Ksheer Sagar and also signals the onset of Chaturmas, a holy four-month period dedicated to spiritual discipline, self-control, and devotion.
As described in Hindu scriptures, fasting, worship, and meditation on this day cleanse one’s life of poverty, disease, and mental distress. It is believed that observing this Ekadashi with sincerity brings divine blessings and spiritual upliftment.
One of the most revered practices on this day is the recitation of the Krishna Chalisa, a devotional hymn dedicated to Lord Krishna—believed to be the complete incarnation (Purna Avatar) of Lord Vishnu.
Devshayani Ekadashi symbolizes the time when Lord Vishnu begins his cosmic sleep in the Ksheer Sagar. He remains in Yoga Nidra for four months and awakens on Prabodhini Ekadashi in the month of Kartik. This period of Chaturmas is observed as a time of austerity, devotion, reflection, and spiritual growth.
On Devshayani Ekadashi, chanting the Krishna Chalisa is considered especially meritorious. This 40-verse hymn glorifies Lord Krishna’s divine leelas—from his miraculous childhood feats, slaying of demons like Kansa, revealing the Bhagavad Gita, protecting Draupadi, to his deep friendship with Sudama.
Reciting the Chalisa brings mental peace, focus in actions, and a sense of spiritual balance. From lifting Govardhan Hill to becoming the charioteer for Arjuna, Krishna’s life offers guidance for every stage of human existence.
Devshayani Ekadashi is not merely a ritualistic fast but a spiritual festival that embodies devotion, self-restraint, and divine connection. Those who sincerely observe this day and chant Shri Krishna Chalisa experience not only material blessings but also progress on the path of inner awakening.
