Jai
Sriman Narayana !!
Skanda Puranam describes the glories of Hari Prabodhini
Ekadashi. Lord Brahma narrates the splendor of Prabodhini Ekadashi to
Maharishi Narada. Whoever observes fast and worship Lord Sriman
Narayana on this day would be blessed and it eradicates all the sins committed
and bestows the liberation from the cycles of birth and death. Observance
of fast on this day gives the merits of dip in the holy water Ganga and all the
scared rivers. The devoutness acquired through the fast and austerities
on this day is more than that of 1000 Ashwamedha Yagam and 100 Raja Suya Yagnas.
Lord Brahma explains the method of worship and observance
of fast on this auspicious day to Maharishi Narada. Consumption of
midday food and supper without grains and beans eradicates the sins committed
on the previous birth and two previous births respectively. The
complete fast on this day would take away all the sins committed on the
previous seven births. Whoever observes complete fast and keeps awake in
the night reciting the glories of Lord Hari would obtain abundance of merits
and their accumulated sins for the past 1000 years will be burned into ashes.
Whoever reads or listens to the glory of Haribodhini
Ekadshi/Papaharini Ekadashi would achieve the merit of cows donated to a
Brahman.
Jai
Sriman Narayana !!
