Devuthani Ekadashi: Do this work on Devuthani Ekadashi, happiness and peace will come in life, sorrows will be destroyed...

Devuthani Ekadashi, also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi, is celebrated on the Ekadashi of the Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) of Kartik month according to the Hindu calendar. This day specifically marks the awakening of Lord Vishnu from his Yognidra (sleeping sleep). Auspicious activities are considered to begin when Lord Vishnu awakens after the four-month Chaturmas period. This day is considered extremely sacred and fruitful from a religious perspective.

The Importance of Tulsi Vivah
The Tulsi Vivah ceremony holds special significance on Devuthani Ekadashi. On this day, Tulsi Mata is married to Lord Shaligram (a form of Lord Vishnu). This symbolic marriage is not only religiously auspicious but also brings happiness, peace, prosperity, and sweetness to the home. Those facing obstacles in their marriage should definitely perform the Tulsi Vivah ceremony on this day.

The Importance of Fasting and Worship
Fasting on this day brings special merit. The fasting person takes a bath in the morning, takes a vow to observe the fast, and observes the fast throughout the day. Lord Vishnu is worshipped with yellow flowers, Tulsi leaves, Panchamrit, and offerings. Reciting the Vishnu Sahasranaam, reciting the Gita, and singing hymns brings peace to the mind and dispels negative energy.

Deep Daan and Decoration

Decorating the house with lamps on Devuthani Ekadashi is considered highly auspicious. Lighting lamps and creating rangoli, especially on the Tulsi Chaura, brings positive energy to the home. This day is the first major festival after Diwali, hence it is also called "Dev Diwali."

The Importance of Charity
Donating food, clothes, blankets, and money to the needy on this day is highly virtuous. It is believed that donations made on this day yield multiple rewards and bring peace to the souls of ancestors.

Beginning of Auspicious Activities
Auspicious events like marriage, house warming, and tonsure are prohibited during Chaturmas. All these activities resume after Devuthani Ekadashi. Therefore, this day also symbolizes a new beginning.

Devuthani Ekadashi is not just a religious festival, but an opportunity to bring positive energy, happiness, peace, and prosperity into your life. Actions performed with faith and devotion on this day are sure to bring auspicious results.
