Varudhini Ekadhasi : There are two Ekadashis in every month. Ekadashi in Chaitra month is called Varudhi. Varudhini Ekadashi will be celebrated on 4th May in the year 2024. According to Puranas, it is said that worshiping Sri Maha Vishnu with devotion today will bring all good things. It is said that fasting and fasting on this Ekadashi day will remove all the sorrows in life. But some things should be done on Varuthi Eka Dashi day. Scholars say that some other things should not be done even by mistake. Because?
Varaham is one of the incarnations of Sri Maha Vishnu. By worshiping Varaha Murthy on Varuthi Ekadashi, everything will be auspicious. Take bath before sunrise today. Wear new clothes and perform the fast. This vrata should be completed before the end of Dwadasa Tithi. One should take sattvic food while meditating on Lord Vishnu, the lord of all wealth. Srimat Bhagwat Gita must be recited today. It is very good to recite Vishnu mantras.
Some things should not be done today. Varuthi should not be plucked by Tulsi forces on Ekadashi day. But Tulsi troops are needed for Vishnu Puja. So pluck it a day before and keep it in a good place. Do not apply shampoo while showering. The meat should not be burnt. Avoid garlic and onions. Care should be taken not to consume food that has been used in oil. Don't take legumes and grains either.
Fasting on Varutini Ekadashi will help to get rid of all kinds of fears. As the whole day is dedicated to Lord Sri Maha Vishnu there are certain rules to follow to get his blessings. Observing these rules and performing the fast will fulfill all the wishes in life.
