Naradji asked Brahmadev, ‘What are the results of eating food at one time on Devprabodhini Ekadashi, eating food at night and fasting the whole day. Please tell me.
Brahmaji said, ‘By eating once on Devuthani Ekadashi, the sins of two births are destroyed and by fasting for the whole day, the sins of seven births are destroyed. Fasting on Prabodhini Ekadashi destroys all the sins of previous birth in a moment. The person who stays awake the whole night of Devprabodhini Ekadashi and listens and sings the hymns of God, his ten generations reside in Vishnu Loka. The result of pilgrimage and donation of cow, gold, land etc. is equal to the result of vigil in this night.
Brahmadev said, ‘The person who observes this Ekadashi fast becomes wealthy and conqueror of the senses, because this date is very dear to Lord Vishnu. Due to the effect of this fast, man gets freed from the cycle of birth and death. Worshiping Lord Vishnu on Prabodhini Ekadashi frees one from all the sins committed in previous births.
After listening to Brahmaji, Naradji said, ‘How should the fast of Devprabodhini Ekadashi be observed? Tell me about this also.
Brahmaji said, ‘On this Ekadashi, after waking up in Brahma Muhurta and taking bath etc., one should resolve to fast. Seeing the auspicious time during the day, worship God as per the rituals and spend the night chanting bhajans and kirtans. The next morning, after taking bath again, worship God, feed the Brahmins and send them off by giving them Dakshina. In this way, by fasting on Devprabodhini Ekadashi, a person enjoys eternal happiness in his life and ultimately goes to heaven.
