Vaikuntha Ekadashi Vrat Significance and Rituals

Ekadashi fasts are one of the most significant observances for devotees of Lord Vishnu. While there are 24 Ekadashi observances, Vaikuntha Ekadashi signifies the one where all the deities are believed to open the gates of heaven and is therefore one of the most prominent celebrations of the year. People observe one of the most stringent fasts on ekadashi tithi where they abstain from eating anything or even drinking water. It is believed that observing this Ekadashi fast can help people to attain moksha by appeasing Lord Vishnu.

We hope that the observance of Vaikuntha Ekadashi brings with it all the love, light and happiness to you and your family. Those who cannot observe the stringent fast often go for a simpler fast, where they can eat fruits and have water. It is interesting to note that 2025 will have two Vaikuntha Ekadashi Vrat observances. One on January 10 and the other on December 31. 2025. Here’s wishing everyone a Happy Vaikuntha Ekadashi Vrat 2025!
