Vaishakha Ekadashi
EkadashiAuspicious Vaishakha Ekadashi dedicated to Lord Vishnu for spiritual purification, elimination of karmic debts, and divine grace.
Astronomically and spiritually, the eleventh tithi aligns the body's digestive and bio-energetic rhythms with the lunar gravity cycle. Fasting on Ekadashi detoxifies internal organs, enhances mental clarity, calms turbulent emotions, and awakens pure devotion (Bhakti). According to ancient sages, observing Ekadashi with a sincere heart grants the spiritual merits of visiting all holy pilgrimage sites (Tirthas) and paves the royal road to Vaikuntha (the eternal abode of peace).

Yoga
3The sum of the longitudes of the Sun and Moon divided into 27 segments. Reflects the subtle prevailing mood and harmony of the day.
Karana
