Aaj Ka Panchang, October 3, 2025: Today is Ekadashi Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Ashwin month, which is considered especially holy and virtuous. The Ekadashi fast is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, and by observing it, all sins are destroyed and salvation is attained. Today is the best day for spiritual practice, fasting, devotion, and charity. Today’s Nakshatra is Dhanishta, which is considered to bring success, art, music, and fame in society. Any work done in this Nakshatra, especially work related to art, music, writing, and social relations, is fruitful.
Dhriti Yoga will be effective till 9:46:28 pm today, which provides patience, balance in life, and positive energy towards achieving goals. Religious works and resolutions done in this yoga increase
spiritual strength and morale. The Moon is also moving in Capricorn today, which strengthens business decisions, discipline, and a realistic approach. In this transit, efficiency increases, and there is inspiration to complete incomplete tasks.
Today can also be celebrated as Papankusha Ekadashi. This fast is especially fruitful for those who wish for freedom from worldly bondages, mental peace, and salvation. Those who are not fasting can also chant Lord Vishnu’s mantras, read Sri Vishnu Sahasranama, or light a lamp in front of Tulsi on this day. Donating food, clothes, or grains to the needy will also be very virtuous.
This day of October 3 is for spiritual practice, restraint, and self-purification. Due to the influence of Ekadashi, the path of spiritual progress opens today. A person who is engaged in devotion and service with a true heart attains virtue, success, and peace.
