Mohini Ekadashi 2022

Hindus believe in reincarnation. Mohini Ekadashi is one of the important Ekadashi tithis that hold great significance and importance for Hindus. It is believed that fasting on Mohini Ekadashi Vrat helps one get rid of all the sins they have committed including the ones committed in their previous births. Mohini Ekadashi occurs during the Shukla Paksha of Vaisakha month. Mohini Ekadashi Vrat is observed by Hindus all over India.

On this day people observe fast and remain without food the whole day. This day is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The preparations for the Ekadashi starts on the previous day i.e., on Dashami. People set up Mandaps with Lord Vishnu’s idol . Rituals like ‘Abhishek’ is performed to Lord Vishnu.and fruits are offered to him. Devotees fast throughout the day. They sleep on the floor and maintain sanctity. The Vrat comes to an end the next day i.e., on the day of ‘Dwadash’ . People believe that they should break the fast on this day by drinking milk.

Parana means breaking the fast. Ekadashi Parana is done after sunrise on next day of Ekadashi fast. It is necessary to do Parana within Dwadashi Tithi unless Dwadashi is over before sunrise. Not doing Parana within Dwadashi is similar to an offence.

Ekadashi fasting on both days is suggested for staunch devotees who seek for love and affection of Lord Vishnu.
