Vaikuntha Chaturdashi 2025
The festival of Vaikuntha Chaturdashi is considered to be the day of joint worship of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. It is celebrated on Kartik Shukla Chaturdashi, when the confluence of devotion and Shivatva comes together. It is described in the scriptures that on this day Lord Shiva and Vishnu worship each other. Lord Vishnu offers Belpatra to Lord Shiva and Lord Shiva offers Tulsi Dal to Lord Vishnu. That is why it has been called a festival of unity and harmony.
Today Vaikuntha Chaturdashi starts at 2 pm and ends at 10:36 pm. Do worship before that.
Vaikuntha Chaturdashi worship method
On the day of Vaikuntha Chaturdashi, wake up in the morning at Brahmamuhurta, take bath, wear clean clothes and take a pledge to fast. Meditate on Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva by lighting lamps in the house and temple. Before sunrise, anoint Shiva Linga with water, milk and Belpatra and chant Om Namah Shivay. Donate a lamp in the evening while observing devotion and silence throughout the day.
Worship Lord Vishnu in the Nishit Muhurta of the night, offer Abhishek with Panchamrit, lotus flowers and Tulsi leaves and also chant the mantra Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaya. It is especially considered auspicious to offer Belpatra to Vishnu and Tulsi to Shiva on this day. This day is a symbol of Shiva-Vishnu unity and the practice of salvation. However, on normal days, Tulsi is considered prohibited in the worship of Lord Shiva and Belpatra in the worship of Lord Vishnu.
Which flowers to use?
Offering flowers on Vaikuntha Chaturdashi has special religious significance because it is the day of joint worship of Lord Shiva and Vishnu. By offering lotus flowers, basil leaves, yellow or white flowers to Lord Vishnu, one gets the blessings of Vaikuntha, while by offering Belpatra, Dhatura, Kaner and white flowers to Lord Shiva, the devotee gets salvation and desired results.
