Kamika Ekadashi !!

Jai Sriman Narayana !!

Brahma Vaivarta Puranam describes the glories of Kamika Ekadashi which occurs on the waning period of moon. 

Lord Krishna explains to King Yudhishtira about the piousness one could attain by observing the Kamika Ekadashi. It was earlier discussed between Maharishi Narada and Lord Brahma; about the austerities one should follow on this auspicious day and which deity should be worshipped on the day of Kamika Ekadashi. Lord krishna continued to explain about the pieties includes the eradication of all kinds of sins committed in one’s life.  

Lord Brahma narrates the piousness one would be able to obtain by observing fast and worship of Lord Vishnu on this day.  Whoever listens to the glories of Lord Sriman Narayana and Kamika Ekadashi would obtain the piety of performance of Vachapeya Yagna.  Moreover, it also provides the merits of holy dip in sacred rivers like Kashi, Naimisharanya and Pushkar.  Observing Kamika Ekadashi with utmost faith and devotion would wash off all the sins committed in one’s life.


Worship of Lord Krishna with Tulsi leaves would be freed from all skins, mere glance on the Sacred Tulsi leaves purifies the mind and body, worship of Tulsi brings good health, bathing on the water contained Tulsi leaves removes the Fear of death, whoever plants Tulsi and offer Tulsi leaves at the lotus feet of Sriman Narayana would attain liberation.  Whoever worship Tulsi with ghee lamp on this auspicious day would attain innumerable pieties which would be difficult to count even for Chitragupta.   Observance of Kamika Ekadashi faithfully would eradicate the sins of Brahmahathya and killing an embryo.

Whoever observes Kamika Ekadashi and listens or reads the glory of it would certainly attains the Abode of Lord Vishnu.

Jai Sriman Narayana !!
