Chaitra Ekadashi

Ekadashi

Auspicious Chaitra Ekadashi dedicated to Lord Vishnu for spiritual purification, elimination of karmic debts, and divine grace.

Deity

Lord Vishnu (Bhagavan Sri Hari Narayana)

Significance

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).

Rituals & Observances

✦Morning Vishnu Puja with fresh Tulsi Dal.
✦Listening to the specific Ekadashi Vrata Katha.
✦Dwadashi Parana charity and Prasad distribution.

About The Five Limbs & Dainika Panchanga

5 Limbs

A Panchanga is an ancient Vedic calendar and almanac that follows traditional units of timekeeping, presenting astronomical calculations in a precise mathematical form. 'Dainika' means daily.

Tithi

The lunar day representing the angular distance between the Sun and Moon (each 12°). Crucial for determining fasts, festivals, and sacred rites.

Nakshatra

The lunar mansion occupied by the Moon in the sidereal zodiac (13° 20' each). It deeply influences mental inclinations and day energy.

Yoga

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

Karana

Half a Tithi (6° angular difference). Used for fine-grained selection of Muhuratas for specific commercial, domestic, and spiritual tasks.

Vara

The weekday ruled by a planetary lord, establishing the foundational energetic principle of the 24-hour cycle from sunrise to next sunrise.
