Attention devotees across Kolkata! The sacred day of Vijaya Ekadashi is approaching. Occurring during the Krishna Paksha (waning moon phase) of the auspicious month of Phalguna, Vijaya Ekadashi holds immense spiritual significance in Hindu scriptures. As its name suggests ("Vijaya" meaning victory), observing this holy fast and performing Lord Vishnu worship grants victory over formidable obstacles, complex life battles, and negative karmic burdens.
According to the Skanda Purana and Ramayana, Lord Sri Rama observed Vijaya Ekadashi under the guidance of Sage Bakadalbhya before building the bridge (Setu) across the ocean to Lanka. Observing this Vrat enabled His army to overcome impossible odds and achieve triumph over Ravana. Today, householders and working professionals across Kolkata observe this fast to overcome financial hurdles, career stagnation, health issues, and family disputes.
Scriptural Mahatmya of Vijaya Ekadashi
Ancient Vedic texts affirm that whoever observes the complete fast of Vijaya Ekadashi and listens to the sacred Vrat Katha achieves victory in every endeavor. It cleanses past sins, bestows peace of mind, and ensures spiritual liberation (Moksha) alongside material prosperity.
