🌕 Sarva Putrada Ekadashi 2024

Date: Thursday, August 1, 2024

A sacred opportunity to invite divine blessings for children, harmony in family life, and spiritual upliftment.

🕉️ Significance of Sarva Putrada Ekadashi

Sarva Putrada Ekadashi is one of the most powerful and auspicious Ekadashi fasts in the Hindu tradition. It falls on the 11th day (Ekadashi) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Sawan (July–August) and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu.

This Ekadashi is especially revered by couples seeking children, those wanting to heal lineage karma, and spiritual seekers desiring rebirth into a dharmic path.

📖 The Story Behind It

The tale of this Ekadashi is found in the Bhavishyottara Purana.

In the kingdom of Bhadravati, King Mahijit and his queen were heartbroken at their inability to conceive an heir. After seeking counsel, the royal priest advised them to observe a Sarva Putrada Ekadashi vrat (fast) with complete devotion.

They cleansed their minds and bodies, performed the rituals sincerely, and invoked the blessings of Lord Vishnu.

🙏 Their prayer was heard. In time, a radiant child was born—destined to carry forward the royal lineage.
