Putrada Ekadashi 2025 Vrat Katha: Check shubh muhurat and why devotees observe this auspicious day for children's wellbeing
On Tuesday, Hindu devotees are marking the sacred occasion of Putrada Ekadashi , a fasting day dedicated to Lord Vishnu and observed during the Shukla Paksha of the Shravan month. According to the Vedic calendar, this Ekadashi is believed to bring blessings of good health and long life to children. Couples seeking children also observe the fast with the belief that it can help them conceive. Putrada Ekadashi is one of the 24 Ekadashis in a year, each occurring on the eleventh lunar day of each fortnight. It holds a special significance in Sanatan Dharma, especially for childless couples, as the name itself means "giver of sons."

It speaks of Mahishmati's King Mahajita, who was a just and virtuous ruler but deeply saddened by the absence of a child. Despite his noble rule and virtuous actions, the king remained childless and expressed his sorrow before his court. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Knee Pain? Start Eating These Foods, and Feel Your Pain Go Away Undo 'I have not committed any sins. I have never taken wealth unjustly from my people, nor have I caused them any harm. I have always honoured the Gods and Brahmins. I treat my subjects as if they were my own children. I have never been jealous and have always acted fairly. The laws in my kingdom are not made to create fear, but to ensure justice. Despite all of this, I suffer. I do not understand why. I ask you all to help me find the cause of my suffering. Will I ever be free of this pain in this lifetime?' said the king. To find an answer, his ministers sought the wisdom of Maharishi Lomasha in the forest. Live Events Sage Lomasha's counsel and the power of the fast The ministers greeted the sage with folded hands: 'O revered one, we are truly blessed to be in your presence.' The sage responded, 'Honourable minister, I am pleased by your humility and conduct. Please tell me the reason for your visit. I will do my best to help, for our bodies are meant to perform good deeds.' The ministers explained their king's sorrow. 'O Rishivara, you are more capable than Brahma himself in understanding our troubles. King Mahajita of Mahishmati is virtuous and dearly loved by his people. He treats his subjects like his own children, yet he remains childless. This causes him great sorrow, which we, his people, also feel. It is our duty to share in our king's happiness and sorrow. We do not know the cause of his childlessness, which is why we have come to you. Now that we have found you, we believe our suffering will end. Please tell us what can be done so our king may have a son. This would be a great kindness to us all.' After meditating, the sage revealed that the king's suffering was due to past karma. 'O noble ones, in a past life your king was proud and committed sinful acts. He wandered from village to village. Once, on the Ekadashi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Jyeshtha, he had gone without food for two days. At noon, he came to a reservoir to drink water. There, a cow that had just given birth was also drinking. He drove the thirsty cow away so he could drink first. That is the reason the king now suffers. The merit from observing Ekadashi in his previous life earned him a royal birth in this one. However, the sin of turning away the thirsty cow caused his present childlessness.' The ministers pleaded for a remedy. 'O revered sage, the scriptures say that good deeds can wash away past sins. Please show us a way to absolve the king of his past misdeeds so he may be blessed with a child.' The sage advised: 'If all of you observe the Putrada Ekadashi fast during the Shukla Paksha of the month of Shravan, stay awake throughout the night, and dedicate the merit of this fast to your king, then he will be blessed with a son. His suffering will be removed as a result.' Blessings after observance The ministers followed the sage's advice. They observed the fast and stayed awake on the night of Ekadashi. On Dwadashi, they offered the merit of their fasting to the king. As a result, the queen conceived and later gave birth to a son. This event gave the Ekadashi its name—Putrada Ekadashi—or 'giver of sons.'
