Ekadashi in June 2025: What is the significance Ekadashi is regarded as one of the holiest days in the Hindu calendar, dedicated entirely to the worship of Lord Vishnu. On this spiritually significant day, devotees observe fasting and engage in prayers to seek His divine blessings. In the month of June, two important Ekadashi observances will take place—Nirjala Ekadashi and Yogini Ekadashi—both considered highly auspicious. Nirjala Ekadashi holds special significance, as it involves a strict fast where devotees abstain from both food and water. This intense form of fasting is what gives it the name "Nirjala," meaning "without water." It is believed that observing Nirjala Ekadashi with full devotion grants the spiritual merit of all 24 Ekadashis observed throughout the year. Live Events Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, is believed to absolve the sins of those who worship Him with unwavering faith and dedication. On Ekadashi, devotees commit themselves wholeheartedly to the fast, practicing celibacy and steering clear of any tamasik (negative or impure) actions, thereby purifying their minds and souls. Ekadashi in June 2025: Puja Rituals Wake up early in the morning and take a bath before beginning the puja rituals. Clean the house thoroughly, especially the puja room. Place a wooden plank and set idols of Lord Vishnu, Lord Krishna, and Laddu Gopal on it, along with the Shree Yatra if available. Bathe the idols and return them to their original positions. Light a diya with desi ghee in front of the deities. Take a sankalp (vow) to observe the fast with sincerity, purity, and devotion. Offer Tulsi leaves, fresh fruits, and panchamrit to the deities. Chant the Krishna Maha Mantra 108 times. In the evening, perform another round of prayers, recite the katha (story) of the specific Ekadashi, and sing the aarti of Lord Vishnu and Lord Krishna. Do not pluck Tulsi leaves on the day of Ekadashi. While fruits and dairy products may be consumed on regular Ekadashis, Nirjala Ekadashi calls for complete fasting without food or water. If health issues prevent you from observing the strict Nirjala fast, you may follow a regular Ekadashi fast instead. The fast concludes the next day, on Dwadashi Tithi, during the designated Parana time. Ekadashi in June 2025: Mantra 1. Om Namo Bhagvate Vasudevaye..!! 2.

Every curse will be ineffective: Perform worship this way on Yogini Ekadashi
A person afflicted by a curse given in a moment of intense anger—especially when someone's soul is deeply hurt—never attains peace or happiness. Not even gods are immune to the effects of a curse. In the Mahabharata era, Gandhari's curse upon Lord Krishna led to the complete submergence of the city of Dwarka in the ocean 36 years later. According to celebrity astrologer Parduman Suri, if a person feels that their life's progress is hindered due to someone's curse or if conflicts within the family never seem to end, then observing a fast on Yogini Ekadashi can help one attain freedom from all such curses. Yogini Ekadashi falls on the 11th day (Ekadashi) of the waning phase of the moon in the month of Ashadha. As per the Vedic calendar, the Ekadashi tithi will begin at 7:18 AM on June 21 and end at 4:28 AM on June 22. Based on the rising moon (Udaya Tithi), Yogini Ekadashi will be observed on June 21. In ancient times, a man suffering from leprosy was freed from a king's curse by observing the Yogini Ekadashi fast, as told by Sage Markandeya. Yogini Ekadashi is especially dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Observing a fast on this day is said to absolve a person of all sins. It purifies one's mind, speech, and actions and invokes the blessings of the divine. Yogini Ekadashi Puja Procedure * Before beginning the fast, read or listen to the story (katha) of Yogini Ekadashi. * Wear yellow clothes on this day, as it is believed to attract the blessings of Lord Vishnu. * Clean your home temple or worship area and purify it by sprinkling Ganga water. * Set up a small platform (chowki) and cover it with a yellow cloth. * Place idols or pictures of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi on the platform. * Apply a Tilak of turmeric and vermillion to both deities. * Offer items of adornment (makeup and jewelry) to Goddess Lakshmi. * When offering food (bhog) to Lord Vishnu, make sure to include a Tulsi leaf along with sweets. * Light a ghee's Diya and incense sticks, and begin the worship. * Finally, recite the Vishnu Chalisa and chant mantras dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The Mythological Story of Yogini Ekadashi According to legend, in ancient times in the city of Alakapuri, there lived a gardener named Hem in the service of King Kubera. Hem used to bring flowers daily from Lake Manasarovar for Lord Shiva's worship. The king offered these flowers in devotion to Lord Shiva. One day, Hem chose to spend leisure time with his wife and got delayed in bringing the flowers. Enraged by the delay, King Kubera cursed Hem to suffer from leprosy. Afflicted by the curse, Hem wandered in search of a cure. By divine fate, he arrived at the ashram of Sage Markandeya. The sage, using his spiritual insight, discerned the cause of Hem's suffering and advised him to observe the Yogini Ekadashi fast. Due to the power of the fast, Hem was cured of his leprosy. Since then, the Yogini Ekadashi vrat has been observed as a means to attain freedom from curses and sins.
