Devutthana Ekadashi Vrat Katha And Significance

It is believed that listening to this vrat katha only will grant the native the wish he wishes for. The Devutthana Ekadashi katha revolves around Goddess Lakshmi and lord Vishnu. According to the story, Goddess Lakshmi is in conversation with lord Vishnu. She is telling lord Vishnu that he wakes up day and night for a long time and when he sleeps for millions of years, life on earth is destroyed. All the pastures are waned down. She advises him to sleep for a particular fixed time during the calendar year. This will give time for the rest of the world to revitalize.

Lord Vishnu accepted this suggestion. He also tells her that she doesn’t get any rest due to his awakening day and night. After that, he said that he would sleep 4 months in a year before winter, that is, during the rainy season. This will give rest to all the god and goddess. This short sleep was called alpa nidra and Praylay Kaleen Mahanidra. He forecast that during his sleep if any devotee will serve him and then celebrate his awakening with pomp and enthusiasm, then he will be majorly blessed.

The main significance of this Ekadashi is that according to Hindu culture, no one should do any auspicious work during these four months once lord Vishnu goes to Devasayan. When lord Vishnu wakes up from his nidra, then only any manglik event should be launched. On this day, performing fast will grant the person salvation by worshipping lord Vishnu. For performing this puja and vrat, one should follow the exact instructions.


How To Perform Puja Vidhi And Fast For Devutthana Ekadashi?

Few points to be remembered before performing this Ekadashi. The fast is recommended nirjala; however, one can perform by consuming water due to any health issue. Elderly people or children can perform one day fast and worship lord Vishnu or kuldevta. Tamasic diet is prohibited.

Coming to the Devutthana Ekadashi puja vidhi, one should get up early in the morning and take a bath and pledge for fast. For decorating the court of lord Vishnu, he should use sugarcane to build the pavilion. A chowki is built in between and an idol or picture of lord Vishnu is placed in between the chowki. Offer sugarcane, water chestnuts, fruits, sweets to lord Vishnu. Followed by lighting diya of ghee, and one should keep in mind that the diya should be awakened through the ekadashi. This is followed by the mantra chanting and recitation of vrat katha. Finish the puja by touching the feet of lord Vishnu and get your wish.
