Vrat Katha — Raja Mahijit ko putra-praapti
Mahishmati ke Raja Mahijit dharm se raajya chalaate the, par santaan na hone se dukhi rehte. Unhone Rishi Lomasha se upaay poochha. Rishi ne dhyaan lagakar dekha aur kaha — Raja, pichhle janm mein tum vaishya the; ek Jyeshtha ki dophari mein tumne pyaase jeevon ko talab ka paani peene se rok diya tha, usi paap se is janm mein santaan-sukh nahi mil raha. Upaay hai — Shravan maas ke Shukla paksha ki Ekadashi, jo Putrada ke naam se prasiddh hai, ka vrat patni sahit karo. Raja-rani ne vidhi se vrat rakha, raatri-jagaran kiya, Dwadashi ko brahman-bhojan karaaya. Kuch samay baad rani ne sundar putra ko janm diya. Tab se santaan ki kaamna wale is Ekadashi ka vrat karte hain. Katha ka sandesh gehra hai — jeevon ke prati daya aur paani jaisi buniyaadi cheez ka daan bhi bhaagya badal deta hai. Raja Mahijit ko jab apne poorv janm ka paap gyaat hua, to unhe ashcharya hua — itni chhoti si bhool ka itna bada dand. Rishi Lomasha ne samjhaaya — pyaasa jeev jab paani se vanchit hota hai, to uski aah seedha swarg tak pahunchti hai. Raja ne usi din se raajya bhar mein pyaau lagwaane ka aadesh diya, aur vrat ke saath-saath jal-daan ko jeevan ka niyam bana liya.
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.
Is Ekadashi ke vishesh upay

Upay 3
Dampati milkar santaan ke liye prarthana 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.
