Apara Ekadashi Vrat: Significance, Puja Vidhi and Shubh Muhurat for June 2nd
Today is June 2nd, and according to the Panchang, it marks the observance of Jyeshtha month’s Krishna Paksha Apara Ekadashi, a significant day for devotees seeking immense virtues, prosperity, and happiness.
Jyeshtha’s scorching heat accentuates the challenging yet rewarding fasting ritual of the Apara Ekadashi Vrat. This fast is believed to absolve followers of their sins and grant them bountiful benefits.
On this day, devotees perform the sacred Abhishek of Lord Vishnu with revered Ganga water and offer various fruits like mangoes, bananas, or sattoo as Naivedya, to please the deity.
Apara Ekadashi’s elaborate rituals, including the blowing of conch shells, depict the devotees’ ardent adoration towards Lord Vishnu and the fulfillment of their desires upon observance.
Today, amid the Panchang details, the celestial arrangement includes a host of auspicious and inauspicious timings that shape the day for the spiritual practices and sacred rituals surrounding Apara Ekadashi.
Devotees are recommended to light a pure ghee lamp in the corner dedicated to Goddess Laxmi during the Pradosh Kaal to dispel financial obstacles and invoke prosperity.
