Amrit Jal & Ekadashi Puja: The Fragrance of Vishnu’s Awakening

The Spiritual Significance of Ekadashi

Ekadashi, the eleventh day of both the waxing and waning moon, holds deep spiritual significance in Hindu tradition. It’s believed that on this sacred day, Lord Vishnu awakens from His cosmic slumber and blesses devotees with purity, peace, and prosperity. Observing Ekadashi fasts and performing puja with sincerity helps cleanse the mind and soul from impurities, paving the path toward divine connection.

Among all Ekadashis, Dev Uthani Ekadashi (also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi) is particularly special it marks the day when Lord Vishnu awakens from His deep sleep of four months (Chaturmas). The air on this day is filled with devotion, bhajans, incense, and the divine aroma of sacred puja essentials.
