Dear Members:

Paashaankusha ekaadasi falls on October 10/ 11, 2008.

Ekaadasi observance recommended for different parts of the globe:

1) US/ Canada, Europe, African countries, Gulf countries - October 10, 2008

2) India and other Eastern countries - October 11, 2008.

Form of Shri Vishnu to be worshipped on this day - Lord Ananta Padmanaabha.

Importance of Paashaankusha ekaadasi

Paashaankusha ekaadasi will help in removing all sins just like any other ekaadasi. Apart from that, one who observes Paashaankusha ekaadasi will be able to realize all his heart-felt dreams, and enjoy other benefits like freedom from vices (addictive behaviours of any kind that are detrimental to our well-being - both physical and spiritual), freedom from chronic karmic diseases, and finally moksha (liberation from cycle of births at the end of this incarnation).

Brahma Vaivarta Puraana accounts even attribute the merits of this ekaadasi observance as equal to that acquired by performing numerous yagnas! Performing social service of some kind, or helping other souls in distress on this day is believed to help in realization of one's own true spiritual self.

May our members observe this ekaadasi and become recipients of Divine Grace.

Blessed be.
