🪔🪔🪔 According to the Vedic Sanatan Dharma, the movement of the moon on the day of Ekadashi has a direct correlation with the human body and mind. during Ekadashi, the water in the body shifts in such a way that it puts pressure on the senses, making them more prone to worldly pleasure. Spiritually to attain control over senses, devotees resort to Upavas. Upavas also means to reside (vas) nearby (upa), that is moving closer to the Bhagvan or spiritual consciousness. one counteracts negative influence generated by the influence of the moon. By fasting mind attains maximum efficiency giving the brain a better capacity to meditate. out of the five Pandav, Yudhisthir, Arjun, Nakul and Sahadev used to observe Ekadashi Vrat along with Kunti (their mother) and Draupadi (their wife). But Bhim, their second brother, was not able to do so, as he was fond of eating and controlling hunger was impossible for him. Once, he expressed his wish to observe the fast, but wanted to eat as well. However, as eating was against the ritual of Ekadashi fast; therefore, he went to his grandfather (Ved Vyas) to seek help. On this, Vyas suggested him to observe Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat, as it is equivalent to observing all the 24 Ekadashi Vrats. He also told him that observing this fast will compensate him for not being able to observe all the other Ekadashi Vrats of the year. Bhim followed his grandfather’s advice and observed the fast with faith and dedication. As a result of observing Nirjala Ekadasi fast and not consuming anything, he became unconscious on the very next morning. To get back to his senses, he offered Ganga Jal to Tulsi plant and ended his fast. After this, Nirjala Ekadashi came to be known as Bhima Ekadashi, Bhimseni Ekadashi, and Pandav Ekadashi. The literal meaning of Nirjala is “without water”. This reason makes Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat the most difficult as well as the most sacred. Devotees find this fast more difficult and strict than others, Being a 24-hour long fast,
👉👉Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat starts from sunrise of the day and ends on the sunrise of the next day i.e. Dwadashi (the twelfth day). This holy day is spent in the dedication of Bhagvan Vishnu and chanting Mantras. However, if someone is unable to observe the Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat due to any reason, they can make donations to the needy people for seeking blessings of this meritorious day.
🔴Though Nirjala Ekadashi is not easy to observe, still performing it with the right rituals can open doors of success for you. Observe Nirjala Ekadasi and get the blessings of Vishnu Bhagvan along with the washing off all your evils. If you are not able to observe the other Ekadasi Vrats of this year, then Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat can help you in compensating for each one of them.
