Mokshada Ekadashi is a sacred Hindu observance brimming with potential for both personal and spiritual growth. Celebrated on the eleventh lunar day (Ekadashi) of the waxing moon (Shukla Paksha) in the Margashirsha month (typically December), Mokshada Ekadashi offers a unique opportunity to reset and reconnect with your inner self.
A Day of Spiritual Awakening
Moksada Ekadashi is all about the liberation of the soul and the mind. The word “Moksada” means “giver of salvation,” making it a day for deep reflection and connection with higher energies.
According to ancient texts, fasting on this Ekadashi can release ancestors from suffering and even pave the way for moksha (salvation). It’s a mindful observance of thoughts, actions and prayers.
Significance of Moksada Ekadashi
This sacred day is tied to the Bhagavad Gita. It’s believed to be the day Lord Krishna imparted the Bhagavad Gita’s profound wisdom to Arjun. This holy text, often referred to as the “Song of the Divine,” offers timeless guidance on navigating life’s complexities and achieving liberation (moksha). By observing the Vrat (fast) on Mokshada Ekadashi, devotees seek to connect with this powerful story and its message of enlightenment.
