Meaning of Utpanna Ekadashi
Being the birth anniversary of Goddess Ekadashi, it is an important day for devotees who undertake a year-long fast. It is noteworthy that the Ekadashi fast associated with feminine power begins from Utpanna Ekadashi. It is important to note that the word Utpanna means arising or birth.
According to legends, Goddess Ekadashi was born from Lord Vishnu to destroy the demon Mur, who intended to kill the sleeping Lord Vishnu. Drik Panchang says, “Goddess Ekadashi is one of the protective powers of Lord Vishnu. Goddess Vaishnavi is another power of Lord Vishnu and is a part of the Sapta Matrika.”
Lord Vishnu said, “You were born on Ekadashi and therefore you will be known all over the world by the name of Ekadashi. You will be worshiped in every age. Observing the Ekadashi fast pleases me more than any other form of worship. Those who observe your fast will attain salvation,” as the ancient scriptures say.
According to the Tamil calendar, Utpanna Ekadashi is observed in the month of Karthigai Masam, while according to the Malayalam calendar, it falls on the Thulam month of Vrishchika. An important Hindu holiday spiritually and religiously, devotees to observe Ekadashi fast are to attain moksha or salvation. On this day, devotees of Lord Vishnu perform numerous puja rituals and seek the blessings of Shree Hari.
