Aaj Ekadashi Hai Kya? Find Today

Jyotish aur Vedic paramparaon ke anusar, Ekadashi ek bahut hi pavitra tithi hai jo har chandrama ke shukla paksha aur krishna paksha ke gyarahven din aati hai. Iska arth hai ki har mahine mein do Ekadashiyan hoti hain. Yeh din Bhagwan Vishnu ko samarpit hai aur Hindu dharm mein iska adhyatmik mahatva aparampaar hai. Ekadashi ka paalan moksha, shanti aur samriddhi prapti ke liye kiya jaata hai. Aisa mana jaata hai ki is din vrat rakhne aur Bhagwan Vishnu ki aradhana karne se vyakti ke paap dhul jaate hain aur use punarjanm ke chakra se mukti milti hai. Yeh din sharir, mann aur aatma ki shuddhi ke liye ek uttam avasar pradan karta hai, jahan upasana aur tapasya ke madhyam se adhyatmik unnati ki ja sakti hai. Is tithi ka har grah nakshatra par bhi ek vishesh prabhav hota hai jo iske mahatva ko aur badha deta hai.

Ekadashi ki tithi ka pata lagana aajkal kafi aasan ho gaya hai. Ek jyotish visheshagya ke roop mein, main aapko kuch pramukh tarike batana chahunga:

• Panchang ya Hindu Calendar: Sabse vishvasniya srot Panchang hota hai, jo har din ki tithi, nakshatra aur yog ki jaankari deta hai. Aap kisi bhi acchi dharmik pustak bhandar se Panchang kharid sakte hain ya online digital Panchang dekh sakte hain.
• Dharmik Websites aur Mobile Apps: Kai vishvasniya dharmik websites (jaise Drik Panchang, AstroSage) aur mobile applications hain jo pratyek din ki Ekadashi tithi aur uske samay ki sthayi jaankari pradan karte hain.
• Local Temple Priest: Aap apne sthaniya mandir ke pujari se bhi sampark kar sakte hain, ve aapko sahi jaankari de sakte hain.

Yeh dhyan rakhna mahatvapurna hai ki Ekadashi tithi ka aarambh aur samapti suryoday aur chandrama ki gati par nirbhar karti hai, isliye apne sthaniya samay ke anusar hi jaankari ki pushti karein.

Ekadashi vrat ke kai adhyatmik aur shaaririk labh hain. Jyotish aur Ayurveda dono hi is din ke upvas ko vishesh mahatva dete hain. Mukhya roop se, yeh vrat Bhagwan Vishnu ko prasanna karne aur unka aashirwad prapt karne ke liye rakha jaata hai. Aisa mana jaata hai ki is din vrat rakhne se:

• Paapon ka nash: Vyakti ke pichle janam aur is janam ke paap dhul jaate hain.
• Moksha ki prapti: Aatma ko moksha aur punarjanm ke chakra se mukti milti hai.
• Shaaririk shuddhi: Upvas sharir ko detoxification mein madad karta hai, pachan tantra ko aaram milta hai, aur sharirik swasthya behtar hota hai.
• Mansik shanti: Tapasya aur dhyan se mann shant hota hai aur adhyatmik shakti badhti hai.
• Manokamna poorn: Bhagwan Vishnu ki kripa se sabhi ichhayen poorn hoti hain.

Yeh keval bhojan tyagna nahi, balki indriyon par sanyam aur Bhagwan ke prati samarpan ka prateek hai.

Ekadashi vrat ke kuch pramukh niyam aur vidhiyan hain jinka palan karna bahut mahatvapurna hai. Ek jyotishacharya ke roop mein, main aapko inka vishesh dhyan rakhne ki salah deta hu:

• Anaj ka tyag: Is din chawal, daal, gehun jaise anaj ka sevan bilkul varjit hai. Phal, sabziyan, kuttu ka atta, singhare ka atta aur doodh se bane padarth kha sakte hain (phalhari vrat).
• Nirjala Vrat: Kuch log bina paani ke bhi vrat rakhte hain (Nirjala Ekadashi), jo bahut kathin mana jaata hai.
• Jagran aur Pooja: Raat mein jagran karna, Bhagwan Vishnu ke mantron ka jaap karna, aur unki pooja karna shubh mana jaata hai.
• Bhog: Bhagwan Vishnu ko tulsi patra aur phal ka bhog lagana chahiye.
• Parana: Vrat ka parana agle din Dwadashi tithi mein hi karna chahiye, aur iske liye ek nirdharit samay hota hai jiska palan karna anivarya hai. Parana ke samay sabse pehle anaj ka sevan karna chahiye.

Yeh niyam shraddha aur bhakti ke saath palan karne par hi purn phal dete hain.

Ji haan, bilkul. Har mahine mein do Ekadashiyan hoti hain aur saal bhar mein kul 24 ya kabhi-kabhi adhik (Adhik Maas ke karan) Ekadashiyan aati hain, aur pratyek Ekadashi ka apna ek vishesh naam aur mahatva hota hai. Udaharan ke liye:

• Nirjala Ekadashi: Yeh sabse kathin vrat mana jaata hai, jismein bina paani piye upvas rakha jaata hai. Iska phal sabse adhik mana gaya hai.
• Devshayani Ekadashi: Is din se Bhagwan Vishnu char mahine ke liye ksheer sagar mein vishram karte hain (Chaturmas ka prarambh).
• Devuthani Ekadashi: Is din Bhagwan Vishnu apni nidra se jaagte hain aur shubh karyon ka punah aarambh hota hai (vivah, mundan adi).
• Vaikuntha Ekadashi: Dakshin Bharat mein iska vishesh mahatva hai, mana jaata hai ki is din Vaikuntha Dwar khulte hain.

Har Ekadashi kisi vishesh devi-devta ya ghatanavali se judi hoti hai, aur us din us naam se jude stotra aur katha ka paath karna vishesh shubh phal deta hai. Apni rashi aur kundli ke anusar bhi aap vishesh Ekadashi ka chayan kar sakte hain.

Adhyatmik roop se, pratyek vyakti jo Bhagwan Vishnu mein shraddha rakhta hai aur apni ichha se vrat karna chahta hai, vah Ekadashi vrat rakh sakta hai. Yeh vrat sabhi varn aur aayu ke logon ke liye hai. Lekin, kuch vishesh paristhitiyon mein vrat rakhne se bachna chahiye ya uske niyam thode dheele karne chahiye:

• Bachche aur Vriddha log: Chhote bachchon aur bahut vriddha logon ko kathin vrat nahi rakhna chahiye. Ve keval phalhari ya ek samay bhojan kar sakte hain.
• Garvvati Mahilayen: Garvvati mahilaon ko bhi kathor vrat se bachna chahiye. Unhe apne doctor ki salah leni chahiye aur keval phalhari ya saft upvas karna chahiye.
• Bimari ya Swasthya Samasya: Jo log kisi gambhir bimari se peedit hain, jinhe dawaon ki avashyakta hai, ya jinhe blood pressure, sugar jaisi samasyayen hain, unhe bhi nirjala vrat nahi rakhna chahiye. Ve kewal mansik roop se vrat ka palan kar sakte hain aur Bhagwan ka smaran kar sakte hain.

Antarik shraddha aur bhakti sabse mahatvapurna hai, na ki sharirik kathorta.

Ekadashi vrat ka palan bahut shraddha aur nishtha se kiya jaata hai, lekin kabhi-kabhi anjane mein ya anichhit paristhitiyon ke karan vrat toot sakta hai. Ek jyotish aur dharmik drishti se, aise mein ghabrana nahi chahiye. Mahatvapurna hai ki aapki niyat kya thi.

• Sache Hriday Se Kshama Yachna: Sabse pehle, Bhagwan Vishnu se sache hriday se kshama yachna karein. Unse apni galti ke liye maafi mangein aur bhavishya mein adhik savdhani baratne ka sankalp lein.
• Pashchatap aur Pratikar: Aapko apni galti ka pashchatap karna chahiye. Iske pratikar ke roop mein, aap agle din ya jab bhi sambhav ho, kisi garib ko bhojan kara sakte hain, gaushala mein daan kar sakte hain, ya mandir mein kuch samagri arpit kar sakte hain.
• Mantron ka Jaap: Bhagwan Vishnu ke mantron, jaise "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya," ka adhik se adhik jaap karein, aur Bhagwan ki katha sunein.

Bhagwan Krishna ne Gita mein kaha hai ki "Shraddha" sabse badi hai. Yadi aapki shraddha akhand hai, toh Bhagwan aapki galti ko kshama kar denge.
