About Vijaya Ekadashi
Vijaya Ekadashi occurs during the Krishna Paksha of the Phalguna month. The word 'Vijaya' means 'Victory,' and this fast is observed to overcome insurmountable obstacles and gain success in difficult endeavors. According to the Skanda Purana, this is the most potent Ekadashi for those seeking victory in legal battles, competition, or against hidden enemies. The most profound legend of this day is associated with Lord Rama. When He was seeking a way to cross the ocean to reach Lanka, Sage Bakadalabhya advised Him to observe Vijaya Ekadashi with His entire army. By performing the rituals and keeping the fast, Lord Rama gained the divine strength to build the bridge (Ram Setu) and eventually defeat Ravana. This day emphasizes that even the Divine, in human form, respects the discipline of Ekadashi to manifest victory.
