Ekadashi Tithi holds special significance in Sanatan Dharma. Ekadashi Tithi occurs twice a month. Each Ekadashi has its own unique significance. The month of Kartik is currently underway. Ekadashi during the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) of Kartik month is also very special. This day, along with Goddess Lakshmi, the Keshav form of Lord Vishnu is worshipped. In a way, it is also the last Ekadashi of Chaturmas. So, let's find out from the astrologer in Deoghar when the Rama Ekadashi fast will be observed and what the special significance of this Ekadashi.

Pandit Shri Dhananjay Pathak of the Pagal Baba Ashram in Deoghar told Local 18 that the Ekadashi during the Krishna Paksha of Kartik month is called Rama Ekadashi. Rama means "Mother Lakshmi," and therefore, on this day, Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped along with Lord Vishnu. This year, the Rama Ekadashi fast will be observed on October 17th. Fasting on Rama Ekadashi provides blessings. Observing the fast of Rama Ekadashi, which destroys all sins and rewards one's actions, also helps alleviate the lack of wealth and prosperity.

When does Ekadashi Tithi begin?
Pandit Ji explains that according to the Kashi Rishikesh Panchang, Ekadashi Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month begins at 10:35 am on October 16th and continues until 11:12 am on October 17th. The fast will be observed on October 17th, while the breaking of the fast will be done between 6:24 am and 8:41 am on October 18th. On this day, the Sun will transit from Virgo to Libra, creating a special conjunction for Libra Sankranti.

What to do on Rama Ekadashi?
Pandit Ji explains that on Rama Ekadashi, take a bath in the morning and take a vow to fast, then worship Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu. During worship, offer Tulsi leaves to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu. Also, light a lamp under the Tulsi tree in the evening, and if possible, listen to the Satyanarayan Katha at night. Doing so will increase happiness and prosperity in the home, and Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi will always reside in the home. All sins will be absolved.
