Rama Ekadashi 2025: Ekadashi date of Kartik Krishna Paksha has started from today, which is called Rama Ekadashi. This date will start from 3:14 am on October 16 and will continue till 1:31 am on October 17.
However, its fast will be observed tomorrow i.e. Friday, 17th October, because Ekadashi fast is always observed on the day when Ekadashi tithi falls at the time of sunrise. Therefore, today is a day of preparation for the fast and purification of mind, body and home.
Take a pledge today that I will observe Rama Ekadashi fast tomorrow and will follow sattvikta and restraint from today itself. From today itself, give up meat, alcohol, onion, garlic, tea, coffee and tamasic food. Eat light food during the day and light a lamp in front of Lord Vishnu and Mother Lakshmi in the evening. Offer water to Tulsi and Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaaya Chant the mantra. This is a day to stabilize the mind with devotion and accumulate positive energy for tomorrow’s fast.
Avoid lying, arguing, getting angry or abusing today. Donate food, clothes or fruits to the needy. Serve a Brahmin, an old man or a helpless person. Due to this, the virtue of fasting the next day increases manifold.
According to astrology, today the Moon is in Leo, which increases the feeling of self-confidence and faith. Therefore today is considered the best time for devotion, meditation and chanting.
Offer yellow flowers to Lord Vishnu in the evening and Om Sri Rama Ramanaaya Namah Chant the mantra. This remedy is considered very auspicious to get the blessings of Lakshmi. Have light fruit at night and sleep early so that both body and mind are ready for the fast tomorrow.
Rama Ekadashi fast will be observed after sunrise tomorrow. The auspicious time for Parana will be on Dwadashi Tithi, i.e. between 6:26 AM to 8:45 AM on 17th October. This festival of Rama Ekadashi is considered to bestow wealth, good fortune and salvation. The person who maintains restraint today and fasts with devotion tomorrow, receives special blessings of Lord Vishnu and Mother Lakshmi.
