Dear Members:
The auspicious Kaamika ekaadasi is to be observed on July 20/ July 21, 2025 this year.
Schedule of the vrata observance for people living in different parts of the globe
a) Those living in USA, Canada, and other countries of North and South American continents must observe this on July 20, 2025.
b) Those living in rest of the world - INCLUDING INDIA - must observe this on July 21, 2025
Note: Those living in countries of Europe, Africa, and countries of Central Asia (middle-East countries of Persian Gulf region and North Centra Asian countries) and observing Smaartha traditions may OPTIONALLY observe the ekaadasi fast on July 20, 2025 itself. BUT, even for these persons the RECOMMENDED fasting day is only July 21, 2025.
Merits of this ekaadasi (from Brahmavaivarta puraanam)....
Observing the kaamikaa ekaadasi gives one the merit that accrues out of bathing in sacred rivers. Offering Tulsi to Lord Mahaavishnu on this day pleases our Lord more than offerings of even the Nine Gemstones of rarest quality! A devotee who does proper worship of Lord Vishnu with Tulsi leaves on this ekaadashi day reaches Vaikuntam directly after the end of this life. Proper observance of this ekaadasi will please Yama Dharmaraaj also. It is customary to donate a ghee lamp/ sesame oil lamp to a Krishna temple on this ekaadashi day. Such a devotee will be blessed by all celestials. The merit accruing out of this ekaadashi is equivalent to that accruing out of recital of all Holy Scriptures.
Elsewhere, it has been mentioned by Lord Brahma to Sage Narada that the merit of observing this ekaadasi is equivalent to that obtained by donating a healthy cow along with her calf and one year's feed to a worthy vedic scholar. So, those who have vamsa Kshaya doshas in chart (yogas indicative of end of lineage due to past sins) might benefit by this ekaadasi which gives go-dhaana punya.
May our members observe this holy fast and become recipients of Divine Grace.
Blessed be.
