Ekadashi fast is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Ekadashi fast is observed in Krishna and Shukla Paksha of every month. Both Ekadashi have special significance. Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha comes after the full moon and Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha comes after the new moon.
Ekadashi of Magh Shukla Paksha is called Jaya Ekadashi. This Ekadashi has been said to be very fruitful in the scriptures. On this day, there is a tradition of fasting and worshiping Lord Vishnu. Worshiping Lord Vishnu brings auspicious results. Also, worshiping Shri Lakshmi on Ekadashi increases the wealth of the house. It is said that by fasting on Jaya Ekadashi, a person gets freedom from ghosts and fear etc. Apart from this, doing these measures on the day of Jaya Ekadashi increases wealth. So let us know what will be beneficial to do on this day.
Do this work on the day of Jaya Ekadashi
1. On the day of Jaya Ekadashi, take a coired coconut and tie red mouli or kalava to it. After this, while meditating on Shri Hari, immerse it in flowing water. By doing this on the day of Jaya Ekadashi, you will soon get rid of debt.
2. Wear yellow clothes after bathing on the day of Jaya Ekadashi. If you don’t have any yellow clothes to wear, keep a yellow handkerchief in your pocket. After that offer jaggery and gram dal to God. Later, distribute jaggery and gram among everyone as Prasad and also take some Prasad yourself. By doing this on the day of Jaya Ekadashi, your position will be stronger than before.
3. Take a yellow colored cloth while worshiping Lord Vishnu on Jaya Ekadashi. Now put 2 pieces of turmeric, a silver coin and a yellow cowry in it and make a bundle by tying a knot in that cloth. If you are not able to keep a silver coin, then keep an ordinary one rupee coin in that bundle. Now take the blessings of God and keep that bundle in the place where you keep your money. By following this remedy your business will grow at double the speed.
4. On the day of Jaya Ekadashi, light a ghee lamp in the temple of your home in the evening and chant the mantra of Shri Narayana. The mantra is as follows – Om Namo Bhagwate Narayanay. On the day of Jaya Ekadashi, chant this mantra 11 times. Do this remedy starting from Ekadashi for three consecutive days. By doing this on the day of Jaya Ekadashi, you will get immense success in your career. Also your income will increase rapidly.
5. If you want to protect your home and family from the evil eyes of others, then on the day of Jaya Ekadashi, after taking bath, sit on a mat spread in front of the idol or temple of Lord Vishnu at home. Also fill a pot or glass with water and add some jaggery and red flowers in it. Now chant at least one rosary of Lord Vishnu’s mantra – ‘Om Narayanaya Namah’. After chanting, pray to God with folded hands for the happiness and prosperity of your family and offer the water kept at the time of chanting to the root of the Peepal tree.
