DeogharAlthough there are many fasts and festivals in Hindu religion, but among these, the fast of Ekadashi is the most important, Ekadashi is believed to have originated directly from the body of Lord Vishnu, Therefore, whoever observes the fast of Ekadashi with complete rituals, there is no need to take another birth, There are 24 Ekadashi fasts observed in a year, that is, two Ekadashi fasts should be observed every month, one Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha and the other Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha, If one observes fast on Ekadashi and worships Lord Vishnu, then the person never faces any kind of trouble in his life, But there are some rules for the fasting of this Ekadashi, so let us know from the astrologer of Deoghar who can keep the Ekadashi fast? What is the right rule for how many years should it be kept?
Giving information, the famous astrologer Pandit Nandkishore Mudgal of Mudgal Astrology Center located at Pagal Baba Ashram in Deoghar said that when the person gets the knowledge of worship, devotion and rules in childhood itself, then only then the fast of Ekadashi can be started with devotion. This fast can be observed throughout life and according to one’s faith and health, a person can observe Ekadashi fast even till the age of 80 years. Otherwise, when the Sun becomes Uttarayan, then you can start the Ekadashi fast. It is believed that observing Ekadashi fast regularly leads to purification of mind, spiritual peace and special blessings of Lord Vishnu.
For how many years should one observe Ekadashi fast?
It is considered best to observe Ekadashi fast throughout life, but if a person cannot observe this fast throughout his life, then he must observe Ekadashi fast for at least 12 years. After observing Ekadashi fast for 12 years with rituals and devotion, it is necessary to perform Udyapan. Only then the full results of Ekadashi fast are achieved and it is considered to be a special blessing of Lord Vishnu.
These things should also be kept in mind during Ekadashi fast
Astrologers say that the fast of Ekadashi should be observed only with proper rituals. Most importantly, keep in mind that the people who fast on Ekadashi should never fast on Ekadashi with Dashami. Always fast on Dwadashi along with Ekadashi, only then you will get auspicious results.
