Ekadashi is a sacred day observed by Hindus, dedicated to Lord Vishnu and Lord Krishna. Many devotees fast on this day, seeking divine blessings for peace, prosperity, and spiritual growth. With 24 Ekadashi's
occurring throughout the year, two each month, February 2025 brings Jaya Ekadashi and Vijaya Ekadashi.
Significance of Vijaya Ekadashi
The word ‘Vijaya’ translates to ‘victory,’ symbolising success, triumph, and overcoming obstacles. Observing this Ekadashi is believed to bring victory in endeavors, clarity of thought, and spiritual upliftment. According to Hindu beliefs, fasting on this day not only removes past sins but also grants devotees the strength to conquer challenges in life.

Prepare an asan and put a yellow cloth on it. Place the idols of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Offer flowers, sesame seeds, panchamrit, bhog (kheer, fruits, and dry fruits), and recite Vishnu Sahasranama, Vishnu Stotra, Geeta, and finally perform Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi Aarti.
