Mokshada Ekadashi 2025: Vrat katha and rituals

According to the Hindu beliefs, it was Arjuna who asked Shri Krishna about the Ekadashi of Margashirsha Shukla Paksha. Answering him, Lord Krishna explained it is also known as Mokshada Ekadashi, which is dedicated to worshipping Lord Damodara.

He revealed that the Ekadashi vrat is capable of granting liberation to ancestors, and narrated the story of King Vaikhanasa, who, guided by Sage Parvata, observed this fast and dedicated its merit to free his father from hell. It is believed that Mokshada Ekadashi destroys sins, grants heavenly attainment, and is praised as a powerful, desire-fulfilling and liberating vow.

On this day, devotees should wake up early to take a bath, worship Lord Vishnu, prepare bhog, and avoid food made with garlic, onion, and tamasic meals.
