Utpanna Ekadashi 2024 Date
Utpanna Ekadashi is the Krishna Paksha Ekadashi that follows Kartik Purnima. After Devutthana Ekadashi, it is the following Ekadashi.
Utpanna Ekadashi is a notable Ekadashi since it is linked with the beginning of Ekadashi fasting. All Ekadashi fasting is devoted to Goddess Ekadashi, one of Lord Vishnu's Shaktis. Ekadashi was created by Lord Vishnu to destroy Demon Mur, who planned to slay the sleeping Lord Vishnu. As a result, Goddess Ekadashi is one of Lord Vishnu's protection powers. Goddess Vaishnavi is another Lord Vishnu power and a component of Sapta Matrika.
Hence Ekadashi's birth anniversary is celebrated on Utpanna Ekadashi. Devotees who commit to fast yearly begin Ekadashi fasting on Utpanna Ekadashi.
Breaking the fast is referred to as parna. Ekadashi Parana is performed after daybreak on the next day of the Ekadashi fast. Unless Dwadashi ends before daylight, Parana must be performed inside Dwadashi Tithi. Not doing parana inside Dwadashi is considered an offense.
Hari Vasara is not the time for parana. Before breaking the fast, one should wait for Hari Vasara to finish. Hari Vasara is the first one-fourth of Dwadashi Tithi. Pratahkal is the most popular time to break the fast. During Madhyahna, one should avoid breaking the fast. If for whatever reason it is not possible to break the fast during Pratahkal, it should be done after Madhyahna.
Ekadashi fasting on two consecutive days is sometimes advised. Smartha and his family are urged to fast just on the first day. The second alternative Ekadashi fasting is recommended for Sanyasis, widows, and those seeking Moksha. Smartha's alternate Ekadashi fasting day coincides with Vaishnava's Ekadashi fasting day.
Fasting on both days of Ekadashi is recommended for ardent devotees seeking Lord Vishnu's favor and adoration.
