Mohini Ekaadasi 2021

Dear Members:

The auspicious Mohini Ekaadasi is to be observed on May 22/ May 23, 2021.

Schedule of observance of the fast for people living in different regions of the world:

a) Sarva Ekaadasi for those living in nations of North and South American continents is on May 22, 2021.

b) Smaartha ekaadasi for those living in countries of Europe and African continents, countries of the middle-east, India, countries in South East Asia like Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, etc. is to be observed on May 22, 2021.

c) Vaishnava Ekaadasi for people living in countries indicated in the point b) above is to be observed on May 23, 2021.

d) Sarva Ekaadasi for those living in Japan, Philippines, islands in Oceania, Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji is to be observed on May 23, 2021.

This is a fast that is believed to give relief from sufferings arising out of our sins of previous births, and give merit that is more than what could be obtained by taking hundreds of theertha snaanams.

Worship of Lord Mahaa Vishnu in His MOhini Form is highly recommended on this day (since this fast is associated with Lord Vishnu taking Mohini Form and distributing Nectar to Devas, and ensuring that the evil demons had no share of the Immortality-bestowing Nectar).

Let us all focus on feeding only the Divine Aspects of our nature with our energies and restrict energy flow to the aasuric elements of our psyche.

May our members observe this fast as per their abilities and become recipients of Divine Grace.

Best regards,

Blessed be.
