Devshayani Ekadashi, also known as Hari Shayani Ekadashi, Ashadhi Ekadashi, Padma Ekadashi, or Vishnu Shayani Ekadashi<\/strong>, is one of the most sacred Ekadashis in the Hindu calendar. It falls during the Shukla Paksha of Ashadha month<\/strong> and marks the beginning of Chaturmas<\/strong>, the four holy months dedicated to spiritual practices.<\/p>\n

According to Hindu beliefs, on this auspicious day Lord Vishnu enters Yoga Nidra (cosmic sleep)<\/strong> in Kshira Sagar (the Ocean of Milk). He remains in this divine sleep for four months and awakens on Dev Uthani Ekadashi (Prabodhini Ekadashi)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Devshayani Ekadashi is considered highly auspicious for observing fasts, performing Vishnu Puja, chanting mantras, donating food, and seeking blessings for prosperity, peace, and liberation.<\/p>\n
