Mumbai: Nirjala Ekadashi, the most auspicious of the 24 Ekadashis observed throughout the year, falls on June 18, 2024. On this day, devotees worship Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi and observe a strict fast. This fast is believed to absolve all sins and grant liberation from the cycle of birth and death. It is also said that observing Nirjala Ekadashi brings wealth and ensures a harmonious marriage. In this fast, devotees refrain from eating or drinking anything until the next day, when they break their fast.
Nirjala Ekadashi Parana time
The fast for Nirjala Ekadashi will be broken on the Dwadashi Tithi, the day after Ekadashi. According to the Hindu calendar, this year’s fast will be observed on June 18, and the fast-breaking ceremony (Parana) will be held on June 19. On Wednesday, June 19, Parana time is scheduled between 5:24 AM and 7:28 AM.
Rules for Breaking the Fast
On Parana day, devotees should wake up before sunrise, bathe, and wear clean clothes. Be sure to offer water to the Sun God before breaking your fast. Before consuming anything, it is essential to worship Lord Vishnu and chant the mantra ‘Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya’ during the worship.
What to eat when breaking Nirjala Ekadashi vrat?
The ritual of breaking the fast involves drinking water, followed by consuming rice, which is considered vital. Devotees can consume other foods after eating rice. It is recommended to consume almonds, pistachios, walnuts, and raisins during Parana.
What to donate on Nirjala Ekadashi?
It is considered highly auspicious to donate on the day of Nirjala Ekadashi. Donate grains, water, clothes, fans, shoes, fruits, and objects that provide relief from the heat. Donating a water-filled pot on this day bestows the same merit as observing all Ekadashi fasts throughout the year.
These rituals and guidelines can ensure devotees receive the full benefits and blessings associated with Nirjala Ekadashi.
