Kamada Ekadashi
About this episode
This episode discusses the significance and benefits of observing Kamada Ekadashi, particularly in the context of helping loved ones.
Kamada Ekadashi possesses such purifying power that it bestows the highest merit on those who sincerely observe it. The Padma Purana confirms this effect of Ekadashi: "By fasting on Ekadashi in childhood, youth, and old age, one is undoubtedly freed from the suffering of material existence." 馃摃In the story of Kamada Ekadashi, we see an example of a wife observing Ekadashi for the benefit of her husband and giving him the fruits of her austerity, because the husband, due to a curse, has fallen into such a state that he is unable to observe Ekadashi himself. And if you also have a loved one whom you want to help, but they themselves are unable to observe Ekadashi for some reason, you can observe Ekadashi for them. 馃晩锔廡he one for whom fasting is done attains complete merit. By fasting for the benefit of her husband, a wife receives 100 times more benefit than by fasting for her own sake; her husband also receives benefit from fasting. This is the conclusion of great sages well versed in the scriptures." (Vayu Purana)
