On this day, there is a tradition of donating sesame, sesame seeds, sesame havan, sesame tarpan, sesame food and sesame seeds. This year, Shattila Ekadashi will be celebrated on 25 January 2025. Through this fast, many types of sins are destroyed. Come, let’s look at the story of this fast.
Story of fast
Once, the lentil sage questioned the Pulastya sage, “O Maharaj, humans on earth commit great sins, such as the theft and jealousy of infantage, yet they do not get hell, what is the reason for this?”
Narada ji narrated a story on this. He told that there was a Brahmani, who used to observe Chandrayana and other fasts. All his sins were destroyed by the effects of his fasts. One day, Narada ji thought that I would ask for some donations from this Brahmin. He reached his door as a beggar, but he found only a pile of mud.
After some time Brahmani passed away and she went to heaven. In heaven, he found only a pile of mud in donations, while nothing was there. She reached Narada ji for help. Narada ji said, “You got heaven because of your fasts, but you only donated soil, so you have nothing else.”
Brahmani said, “How can I get rid of this poverty?” Narada ji said, “Tomorrow the gods will come to you. You listen to the greatness of Shattila Ekadashi without opening the door. “
When Dev girls came, the Brahmin did the same. Dev girls said that this fasting of this Shattila Ekadashi is going to decorate luck and is going to destroy the great sin like cow slaughter, Brahmana. Hearing this, the Brahmin fasted and all the personalities came to his palace. It is said that the one who observes this fast and donating sesame on this day gets heaven.
