Kamika Ekadashi, one of the significant fasting days in the Hindu calendar, will be observed on July 31, 2024. Falling in the auspicious month of Shravan, this Ekadashi is believed to purify the mind, body, and soul, promoting spiritual growth and health benefits.
Fasting on Kamika Ekadashi involves abstaining from grains and cereals, with some devotees choosing to consume only fruits or a single meal before sunset. The fast begins at sunrise on the day of Ekadashi and is broken the next morning after sunrise, known as Parana.
The significance of Kamika Ekadashi lies in its promise of liberation from sins and its deep association with Lord Vishnu. Devotees engage in various rituals, including the worship of the Tulsi plant and recitation of the Kamika Ekadashi Vrat Katha. This Ekadashi is part of a series of sacred fasting days, each offering unique spiritual benefits, leading up to it and continuing afterward.
