Parivartini Ekadashi Paran 2025
The Paran for Parivartini Ekadashi will be observed on September 4 between 1:36 PM and 4:07 PM. On this day, the period of Hari Vasara ends at 10:18 AM, after which Paran can be performed.
Significance Of Ekadashi In Mahabharata
During the Mahabharata era, not only the Pandavas but also Bhishma Pitamah observed this fast. It is believed that by observing Ekadashi, a person enjoys worldly pleasures, ensures the salvation of ancestors, and ultimately attains Vaikuntha (the divine abode of Lord Vishnu).
Vrat Paran Rituals
Traditionally, devotees conclude the Ekadashi fast on Dwadashi Tithi. Before consuming grains, one should first take a Tulsi (holy basil) leaf in the mouth, without chewing, and swallow it. Consuming one or two amla (Indian gooseberries) is also considered highly beneficial.
The Paran should always be done before the Dwadashi Tithi ends. Eating rice during Paran is considered auspicious. Importantly, one must bathe first, perform Lord Vishnu’s puja, and offer donations to a Brahmin before breaking the fast. Scriptures emphasize that following these rituals ensures the true benefits of observing the Ekadashi vrat.
