Vrat Katha — Krodhi thakur ka prayashchit
Ek gaon mein ek balshali par atyant krodhi thakur rehta tha. Ek din kisi baat par ek Brahman se vivaad ho gaya, aur krodh mein haathapai ke dauraan uske haathon Brahman ki mrityu ho gayi — brahmahatya jaisa mahaapaap us par chadh gaya. Pashchataap mein doobe thakur ne Brahman ki antyeshti aur brahman-bhoj karna chaaha, par paap ke kaaran kisi ne uska anna sweekaar nahi kiya. Vyaakul hokar woh ek muni ki sharan mein gaya. Muni ne kaha — Shravan Krishna paksha ki Kamika Ekadashi ka vrat kar; Tulsi-dal sahit Bhagwan Vishnu ki pooja kar, deep jalaa aur jagran kar. Tulsi Bhagwan ko atyant priya hai; is vrat se Gangaadi teerthon mein snaan ka phal milta hai. Thakur ne shraddha se vrat kiya — kahte hain Bhagwan uske swapn mein aaye aur uska paap dhul gaya. Seekh hai ki sacche pashchataap aur Tulsi-yukt Vishnu-pooja se bada se bada paap kshama ho jaata hai.
Vrat Vidhi
- 1
Dashami ki shaam se taiyaari shuru karein — halka sattvik bhojan lein, aur suryast ke baad anna na khaayein.
- 2
Ekadashi ko subah jaldi uthkar snaan karein aur vrat ka sankalp lein — nirjala, phalahar ya ek samay bhojan, apni shakti ke anusaar.
- 3
Bhagwan Vishnu ki pooja karein — Tulsi-dal, peele phool, deep aur dhoop se; naivedya mein anna ka prayog na karein.
- 4
Din bhar Vishnu ke naam ka jaap karein — 'Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaya' ya Vishnu Sahasranam ka paath karein.
- 5
Vrat-katha sunein ya padhein — katha ke bina vrat adhura maana gaya hai.
- 6
Raat mein jagaran karein — bhajan-keertan mein raat bitaana vishesh punya deta hai; ashakt hon to jaldi so sakte hain.
- 7
Dwadashi ki subah snaan-pooja ke baad parana-muhurat mein vrat kholein — parana hamesha Dwadashi ko suryodaya ke baad aur diye gaye samay ke andar karein.
- 8
Parana ke baad brahman ya zarooratmand ko bhojan karaayein aur yathashakti daan dein.

Upay 3
Ganga-jal se Vishnu ka abhishek karein ya Ganga mein deep-daan karein.
Aksar poochhe jaane wale sawaal
Ekadashi vrat mein kya kha sakte hain aur kya nahi?
Paramparik niyam ke anusaar Ekadashi ko anna (gehuun, chawal, daal, besan aadi) nahi khaaya jaata. Phal, doodh, meva, sabudana, kuttu aur sendha namak se bana bhojan liya ja sakta hai. Jo poorn upvaas na kar sakein, ve ek samay phalahar lekar bhi vrat rakh sakte hain — shraddha mukhya hai.
Parana kab karna chahiye?
Parana hamesha Dwadashi tithi ko suryodaya ke baad kiya jaata hai. Har Ekadashi page par aapke sheher (Dilli ke samay) ke anusaar parana ka sahi samay diya gaya hai — usee samay-seema ke andar vrat kholein. Dwadashi se pehle parana nahi karna chahiye.
Ekadashi ka vrat bachche, buzurg ya beemar vyakti rakh sakte hain?
Haan, par apni shakti ke anusaar. Bachchon, buzurgon, garbhavati mahilaon aur beemar vyaktiyon ke liye nirjala ya kathor upvaas zaroori nahi — ve phal-doodh par vrat rakh sakte hain ya keval pooja-katha karke bhi vrat ka punya pa sakte hain.
Smarta aur Vaishnav Ekadashi mein antar kya hai?
Jab Ekadashi tithi do din padti hai to pehle din Smarta (grihasth) aur doosre din Vaishnav (sanyasi, math-mandir parampara) vrat rakha jaata hai. Is site par di gayi tithi aam grihasth parampara ke anusaar hai; math-mandir se jude bhakt apne guru-parampara ka niyam follow karein.
Kya Ekadashi ko chawal khana varjit hai?
Haan, parampara ke anusaar Ekadashi ko chawal nahi khaaya jaata — chawal anna mein gina jaata hai. Kathaon mein kaha gaya hai ki Ekadashi ko anna mein paap ka vaas hota hai, isliye is din anna-tyaag ka niyam hai.
