Introduction

Do you know the secret to impress Lord Vishnu? If no, then let me tell you. Shri Hari Vishnu is the lord of Ekadashi, and if his devotee perform Papmochini Ekadashi puja and vrat with utmost devotion and faith, no one can defeat him.

Ekadashi’s are very dear to Hindu God Shri Vishnu. Papmochini is the Hindi word made of two words- paap means “sins” and mochini means “removal”.

Thus, one gets rid of all his sins by observing fast on Papmochini Ekadashi. Additionally, it is very auspicious and revered day in Hindu culture. Also, Lord Vishnu bestows all his love and blessings on to the person who observes fast on this sacred day. Not only this, the devotee gets wealth, happiness and prosperity in abundance.

Papmochini Ekadashi is on 5th April, 2024. As per Hindu Panchang, this Ekadashi falls on 11th day of Krishna Paksha of Chaitra mas. Also, the date will start at 4:14 PM on 4th April and end at 1:28 PM on 5th April , 2024.

Significance

Moreover, one cannot deny the fact that one who perform puja and vrat on Papmochini Ekadashi, Lord Vishnu along with Goddess Lakshmi shower all their blessings and love onto him. Papmochini Ekadashi is a very auspicious day as it holds great significance for all the Vishnu lovers. It is a sacred day to get rid of all your bad deeds just by performing the worship and observing fast on this day.

Additionally, this fast is believed to bestow numerous virtues, including spiritual, mental and intellectual strength. Fasting is said to help eliminate negativity from our minds, control our senses and bring us closer to the divine by chanting sacred verses and hymns.
