8 June 2026
Nirjala Ekadashi — poore din-raat bina paani ke. Saal ki sabse badi maani jaati hai.
Ekadashi saal mein 24 baar aati hai — har mahine mein do baar, Shukla Paksha aur Krishna Paksha mein. Lekin aksar log tab yaad karte hain jab ek-do din reh jaate hain. Isliye yahan poora 2026 ka calendar ek jagah diya gaya hai, aur sath mein woh basic jaankari bhi jo vrat shuru karne se pehle chahiye hoti hai.
Ekadashi kya hai
Hindu panchang mein har mahine ke do paksha hote hain: Shukla Paksha (chaand badhta hai) aur Krishna Paksha (chaand ghatata hai). Har paksha mein gyarahvi tithi ko Ekadashi kehte hain. “Gyaras” isi ka doosra naam hai, “gyarah” se bana hua.
Vishnu bhakton ke liye Ekadashi vrat sabse important hai. Ek poori saal ki Ekadashiyan karne se jo punya milta hai, woh akela Nirjala Ekadashi karne se bhi mil jaata hai. Yeh baat Mahabharata mein Bhima ko Yudhishthira ne batai thi. Usi kahani ki wajah se Nirjala ko “Bhimseni Ekadashi” bhi kehte hain.
Ekadashi ke din anaj nahi khaya jaata: chawal, gehu, dal, kuch log pyaaz-lahsun bhi chhodte hain. Falahar chalta hai. Kuch log poori tarah nirjala (bina paani ke) bhi rakhte hain, jo physically demanding hai aur bujurgon ya unfit logon ke liye suitable nahi hota.

Ek normal saal mein 24 Ekadashi hoti hain. Adhik Maas wale saal mein 26 hoti hain, do extra. 2026 mein Adhik Maas nahi hai, isliye is saal sirf 24 Ekadashi hain. Neeche pure 26 ke naam hain:

Vrat ke basic niyam
Ekadashi vrat mein anaj nahi khaya jaata. Specifically: chawal, gehu, jawar, bajra, maida, rava, besan. Yeh sab avoid karte hain. Falahar mein sabudana, singhare ka atta, kuttu ka atta, makhana, aloo, fruits aur dairy chalta hai.
Kuch log pyaaz aur lahsun bhi nahi khate Ekadashi ke din. Kuch log aam namak ki jagah saindhav namak use karte hain. Yeh regional aur sampradaay ke hisaab se thoda alag ho sakta hai.
Vrat ka parana Dvadashi (12th tithi) par, subah sunrise ke baad, ek specific window mein hota hai. Is timing se related detail ke liye Ekadashi Parana Time wala article padhen.
Parana kya hota hai
Vrat todne ki kriya ko “Parana” kehte hain. Parana ka ek prescribed time hota hai, sirf “khaana kha liya” se vrat nahi toota.
Parana Dvadashi tithi mein, subah sunrise ke baad karna chahiye. Dvadashi khatam hone se pehle parana ho jaani chahiye. Typically yeh window subah 6 baje se 9 baje ke beech hoti hai, lekin exact time panchang se confirm karna chahiye kyunki har Ekadashi alag hoti hai.
एकादशी व्रत का महत्व (Hindi mein)
एकादशी हिंदू पंचांग की सबसे महत्वपूर्ण तिथियों में से एक है। हर माह में दो एकादशियाँ आती हैं: शुक्ल पक्ष और कृष्ण पक्ष में। इस दिन अन्न का त्याग करके भगवान विष्णु का स्मरण किया जाता है।
स्कंद पुराण के अनुसार, एकादशी का व्रत करने वाले को मोक्ष की प्राप्ति होती है। निर्जला एकादशी को सबसे कठिन और सबसे फलदायी माना जाता है, क्योंकि इस दिन जल भी ग्रहण नहीं किया जाता। एकादशी के दिन पारण का भी विशेष महत्व है — व्रत को सही समय पर, द्वादशी तिथि में, सूर्योदय के बाद तोड़ना चाहिए।
