Fasting for Parsva Ekadasi

Fasting for Parsva Ekadasi

Fasting for Parsva Ekadasi is an important Vaishnava observance dedicated to Lord Vishnu during the sacred Chaturmas period. On this Ekadasi, devotees observe fasting, chant the holy names, and engage in hearing and remembering the Lord’s pastimes with devotion.

Parsva Ekadasi commemorates the pastime of Lord Vishnu turning on His side while resting during Chaturmas. Observing this vrata with sincerity brings spiritual purification, strengthens self-discipline, and deepens faith. Devotees pray for steady devotion, humility, and the mercy of Krishna to progress on the path of bhakti.
