About Rama Ekadashi
Rama Ekadashi is observed during the Krishna Paksha of the sacred month of Kartika, just a few days before the festival of Diwali. This Ekadashi is named after 'Rama,' another name for Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu. According to the Brahmanda Purana, observing this fast not only absolves one of the greatest sins but also invites the combined grace of Lord Vishnu and Mata Lakshmi. The legend of Rama Ekadashi revolves around Chandrabagha, the daughter of King Muchukunda. She was married to Prince Shobhana, who was physically frail. Despite his weakness, Shobhana observed the strict Rama Ekadashi fast at his wife's kingdom, which led to his passing. However, due to the immense merit of the vrat, he was granted a magnificent celestial kingdom in the Mandarachala mountains. This story highlights that even an 'ordinary' or 'weak' person can attain extraordinary divine heights through the power of this specific Ekadashi.
