Guiding Light: Devshayani Ekadashi – The day when Lord Vishnu goes to sleep
The Devshayani Ekadashi, which is also known as the Maha Ekadashi, will be observed today by Hindus across the country.
As per the Hindu Vedic calendar, the 11th day of every lunar fortnight is observed as Ekadashi. The auspicious day occurs during the two lunar phases in a month, Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha. And while there are over 24 Ekadashis in a year that hold a special significance and are associated with different incarnations of Lord Vishnu, the Devshayani Ekadashi of the Ashada month, Shukla Paksha, has a greater spiritual significance, because it marks the beginning of Chaturmas, the holy period of four months.
