Jai Sriman Narayana !!
Ashta Varshadhiko Martyo Apurana Ashiti Vatsara:
Ekadashyam Upavaseth Pakshayor Upayor Api
( A person should fast on the bright and dark fortnight of
Ekadashi from the age of Eight to Eighty)
Krishna Paksha and Eleventh Day of Margashirsh month is known as
Utpanna Ekadashi / Utpathi Ekadashi. Lord Sriman Narayana is worshipped on this
auspicious day and fasting on this day brings abundance of merits includes
salvation.
'Ekadashi' means the eleventh Day and it falls twice in a month
that is on eleventh day of bright and dark fortnight respectively.
There was a demon named Murasura lived in the Kingdom
Chadravati. He harassed the life of sages and the deities. All the
deities appealed to Lord Vishnu, they decided to fight against this demon. The
war continued for several years, finally with the baffling power Lord Vishnu
beheaded the demon Murasura. It is believed that the mysterious power was
provided by the Goddess - The mother of Ekadashi. Thus, fasting on this
day brings the merit of eradication of sins and salvation from the vicious
cycles of Birth and Death.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
