Devshayani ekadashi 2025: When Vishnu goes to Yoganidra, then devotion, silence and waiting

Devshayani ekadashi 2025: Every year, when the Sun moves from Capricorn to Cancer sign, the days are long, the weather is bright and remains sharp in the atmosphere. This time is considered to be of the gods, where auspicious works are done, celebrations are celebrated and energy remains in life.

But as soon as the sun holds the direction of Capricorn with Cancer, the days become shorter and the nights become longer. This Kaal is called Dakshinayan, and it is called the time of demons. It is a period of self-discipline, restraint and devotion.

Chaturmas: When the earth is calm
This time is called Chaturmas, four months when human life goes into stagnation, nature is soaked, and more than celebration is a feeling of penance and practice. In these four months, auspicious works like marriage, shaving or home entry are considered taboo. Why? Because this is the time to be interlely, to peek inside.

Devshayani Ekadashi: When God rests
The Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Ashada month is called Devshayani Ekadashi. On this day, Lord Vishnu gets absorbed in Yoganidra on Sheshnag in Ksheer Sagar. These four months do not sleep, but feel the speed of the world from within.

They take a short distance from their own world and observe it, this is their yoga-sleep, no ordinary sleep. Four months later, Lord Vishnu wakes up again on Prabodhini Ekadashi and is active in the works of the world.

Mythology of Ekadashi: According to the Padma Purana, once a demon named ‘Muraran’ created a huge uproar on the earth. Lord Vishnu took rest to kill him and during that time his female power killed Muran. This day was Ekadashi.

Pleased with the power of this day, Vishnu blessed him that whoever fasts on this day, will fast and remember God, he will get salvation and Vaikuntha.

Vishnu’s relationship with creation

• Vishnu is described very deeply in Bhagavad Gita:
• The sea is like their waist,
• Hill their bones,
• Clouds their hair,
• Air breathing,
• Rivers their veins,
• Trees of their Rome,
• Sun and Moon their eyes,
• And day and night moves are their eyelids.

Meaning, every particle of the world has Lord Vishnu, when we drink water, see the sun, feel the smell of rain, then we are actually touching some form of Vishnu.

The secret of Yoganidra: Vishnu sleeps, but he is awake even while sleeping. His rest is not only of the body, but the accumulation of spiritual energy. He is associated with all of us’s actions, thoughts and feelings, just like the invisible network of Wi-Fi connects our equipment, in the same way God is connected to every soul.

Devshayani Ekadashi reminds us that a life full of devotion, restraint and faith is meaningful. This is the time of renunciation, peace and to take a step towards God.
When Vishnu sleeps, we should also get out of the movement of life slightly inside ourselves, review our thoughts, deeds and goals again.

Finally the scriptures say:
“God’s hands, feet, face, eyes and ears are in every direction.
They know everything, yesterday, today and time to come.
They recognize everyone, but no one can understand them completely. “

Vishnu does not sleep, they wait. To wake up, our return.
