Importance of Devshayani Ekadashi

According to the scriptures, Lord Vishnu sleeps on the Ekadashi of the month of Ashadh, according to which Lord Vishnu sleeps in Kshirsagar for four months and wakes up on the Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month. These four months are called 'Chaturmas', during this time auspicious works like marriage, housewarming, etc. are considered forbidden.

Lord Shri Hari Vishnu is the director and nurturer of the universe. In such a situation, after Devshayani Ekadashi, the Lord goes into Yog Nidra for a full four months. This period is also called the sleeping period of the Lord. It is believed that after Lord Vishnu goes to sleep, Lord Shiva takes over the responsibility of running the universe, so worshiping Shiva is especially fruitful in the four months of Chaturmas.

By keeping the fast of Devshayani Ekadashi, a person gets wealth, health, and prosperity. By fasting and worshiping on this day, all sins are destroyed and salvation is attained. Fasting on this Ekadashi especially provides relief from the ill effects of Saturn and brings happiness, peace and prosperity in life.
