1 Shayani Ekadashi is one of the holiest Ekadashis dedicated to Lord Vishnu. In Maharashtra, it is referred to as Ashadha Shukla Paksha Ekadashi.
2 This day is famous by many names like Devshayani or Hari Shayani Ekadashi, Padma Ekadashi and Ashadi Ekadashi.
3 It is called Shayani Ekadashi because Lord Vishnu goes to sleep on this day and does not wake up before Prabodhini Ekadashi, which occurs after four months.
4 There is a strong belief that along with Lord Vishnu, all the Hindu gods and goddesses are also at rest during this period and they shouldn’t be disturbed.
5 This holy period of four months is called Chaturmas, which is derived from the Sanskrit chatur that stands for four, and masa meaning month.
6 Which is why none of the auspicious ceremonies and traditions are held during this period.
7 It is considered highly inauspicious for weddings and other celebration, however, Chaturmas is a suitable time for householders to revive Dharma in their life.
8 For Hindus, this period is reserved for penance, austerities, festivities, bathing in holy rivers and religious observances.
9 Devotees also consider resolving it by performing self-controlling activities like meditation, Maun Vrat (vow of silence) and Upavasa (single meal fasting).
