In Hindu religion and our scriptures, there is a day mentioned which is specially made for bringing “success”. its name is Saphala Ekadashi,

This Ekadashi, which falls in the Krishna Paksha of Pausha month, works just like its name. It is believed that the person who observes this fast with a true heart, Lord Vishnu makes all his work successful. But wait! The more fruitful the Ekadashi fast is, the more strict its rules are. Even a small mistake made unknowingly can make your puja useless.

Let us understand in very simple language what to do on Saphala Ekadashi and what mistakes to avoid.

Why is Saphala Ekadashi so special?

It is simple – it is named ‘Saphala’ because it proves your actions. It is said in Padma Purana that even by performing big yagyas, one does not get as much virtue as one gets by observing fast on this Ekadashi. May this fast fill your bag with happiness as 2025 approaches.

Do not make these mistakes even by mistake (Dos and Don’ts)

Even if you are fasting or not, keep these things in mind on this holy day:

1. Avoid Rice:
   First and foremost – eating rice on the day of Ekadashi is strictly prohibited. Whether you are fasting or not, give up rice on this day. There is a religious belief that eating rice on this day makes the mind restless and loses concentration.
2. Say ‘No’ to Tamasic Food:
   There should be purity in the house on this day. Meat and liquor are a far away thing, try to do this at home on this day. Garlic and Onion Even the food should not be cooked. God loves simple food.
3. Sleeping during the day is prohibited:
   It may be a holiday, but if you are fasting, avoid sleeping during the day. It is said that sleeping during the day reduces the benefits of fasting. Instead, spend your time taking God’s name or chanting ‘Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaya’.
4. Do not wear black clothes:
   Avoid wearing black colored clothes during worship. Yellow color is favorite of Lord Vishnu. so why not this day Yellow Clothes Should they be worn and worshiped?
5. Don’t do ‘these’ with basil:
   Worship of Lord Vishnu on Ekadashi is incomplete without Tulsi. But remember, basil leaves are not plucked on the day of Ekadashi. Therefore, pluck the leaves for puja a day before (on Dashami).

What is the correct way of fasting? (Pooja Method)

• Light a ghee lamp in front of the idol of Lord Vishnu or his incarnation Shri Krishna.
• They have yellow flowers, fruits and Panchamrit Offer .
