Ekadashi 2022: Dates, Timings, Rituals and Significance

Ekadashi 2022: Dates and timings for Ekadashi 2022 are important for those who want to worship Lord Vishnu. According to the Hindu calendar, Ekadashi is the eleventh lunar day of each of the two lunar phases – Shukla Paksa and Krishna Paksa. Hence, there are two Ekadashi days in a Hindu calendar month. Most of the Hindu devotees worship Lord Vishnu on the day of Ekadashi.

On the day of Ekadashi, devotees keep a strict fast and break their fast on the next day only after the sunrise. Devotees can choose to observe fast without water or only with water or with only fruits. As per Hindu religion, those who fast on Ekadashi are considered to get rid of malefic planetary influences, be blessed with happiness, and gain the right peace of mind to think about God and attain Moksha.
At times Ekadashi fasting is suggested on two consecutive days. It is advised that Smartha with family should observe fasting on the first day only. The alternate Ekadashi fasting, which is the second one, is suggested for Sanyasis, widows and for those who want Moksha. When alternate Ekadashi fasting is suggested for Smartha it coincides with Vaishnava Ekadashi fasting day.

As per Skanda Puran, The greatness of Devuthani Ekadashi was first narrated by Lord Brahma to Sage Narada. It holds great significance for Hindus as this day marks as the beginning of all auspicious activities like marriages, engagements, child naming ceremonies, grah pravesh etc. Devotees observe this sacred fast to get rid from their sins which they might have committed in their past and present life.
