Ekadashi December 2023: View The Calendar, Dates, And Parana Timings For Margashirsha Month Here
Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha occur on the auspicious day of Ekadashi, which falls on the eleventh day of the two lunar phases in a month. Eleven senses are referred to in a spiritual sense, including the intellect, five action organs, and five sensory organs. It is considered to be one of the lucky days to observe a fast (Vrat). In order to observe vrat, one must quiet the mind, regulate the 10 senses, and abstain from grains, beans, and rice. Science says that on the day of Ekadashi, a person’s mental frequency is influenced by the phase of the moon. It is thus shown that the Ekadashi vrat helps one refrain from engaging in unlawful behavior and directs high mental energy in the right directions. It’s a penance meant to elevate our awareness and help us become masters of our senses. Every one of the 24 Ekadashi that occur in a year has a distinct significance and is associated with a different avatar of Lord Vishnu. Let’s examine the titles and meanings of the December 2023 Ekadashi fasts.
