Vrat Katha — Raja Indrasena aur pita ka uddhaar
Mahishmati ke Raja Indrasena dharmatma the. Ek din unke mahal mein Devarshi Narad aaye aur kaha — Raja, maine tumhaare pita ko Yamalok mein kasht bhogte dekha hai; unhone sandesh bheja hai ki putra unke uddhaar ka upaay kare. Raja ne rokar upaay poochha. Narad ne kaha — Ashwin maas ke Krishna paksha ki Ekadashi, Indira Ekadashi ka vrat apne parivaar aur praja sahit rakh, aur uska punya apne pita ko arpit kar de. Raja ne aisa hi kiya — poore vidhi-vidhaan se vrat, jagaran aur brahman-bhojan hua. Usi kshan unke pita Yamalok se mukt hokar divya vimaan mein Vaikuntha gaye. Apne shasan-kaalin ke baad Raja Indrasena bhi vrat ke punya se swarg pahunche. Indira Ekadashi pitra-mukti ka vrat maana gaya hai — is din pitron ke naam par daan aur tarpan ka vishesh mahatva hai. Ashwin maas mein Pitru-paksha ke baad yeh Ekadashi aati hai, isliye iska sambandh pitron se aur gehra maana gaya hai. Raja Indrasena ne keval apne pita ke liye hi nahi, poori praja ke saath vrat rakha tha — kehte hain saamuhik punya ka prabhaav vyaktigat se kahin adhik hota hai. Is din kiye gaye ann-daan se pitra tript hote hain.
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 1
Pitraon ke naam par ann-daan ya brahman-bhojan karaayein.
Upay 2

Upay 3
Apne mata-pita ki seva karein ya unke liye 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.
