In Sanatan Dharma, the Ekadashi date of Shukla Paksha of Shravan month is known as ‘Shravan Putrada Ekadashi’ and ‘Pavitra Ekadashi’. The fast of Ekadashi is dedicated to Lord Shri Hari Vishnu, but due to it falling in the month of Sawan, on this day one receives the combined blessings of Lord Vishnu and Lord Mahadev. According to Padma Purana and Bhavishyottara Purana, for those couples who have been deprived of the happiness of children for a long time or whose children are facing some crisis in their lives, the fast and worship of Sawan Putrada Ekadashi is considered no less than Kalpavriksha. On this auspicious day, special astrological remedies done with Lord Vishnu’s favorite ‘conch’ remove the obstacles from having children and fulfill the desired wishes.

Do this surefire remedy with conch shell on Putrada Ekadashi (Santan Prapti Upay)
In the scriptures, Dakshinavarti conch is considered to be the embodiment of Mother Lakshmi and Lord Narayana. This remedy is considered very fruitful for wishing to have a child on the day of Ekadashi:
-
Raw cow’s milk and saffron in shankha: On the morning of Ekadashi, after bathing, fill a Dakshinavarti conch with raw cow’s milk and a little saffron and Ganga water.
-
Abhishekam of Laddu Gopal: Anoint ‘Laddu Gopal’ or Shaligram ji, the child form of Lord Shri Krishna, with this conch.

‘Om Devkisut Govind Vasudev Jagatpate. ‘Tanayam Krishna Tvamaham Sharanam Gatah in the body’

Consuming Charanamrit as Prasad: After Abhishek, both the husband and wife together should respectfully accept the Panchamrit/milk coming out of the conch as Prasad. It is believed that this removes Pitra Dosh and obstacles in the horoscope of children.
