Significance of celebrating Indira Ekadashi
Once there was Mahishmati Nagar, which was ruled by a famous ruler known as Indradeva. He was a very kind ruler who loved his kingdom’s members and provided them with all the amenities. Once, the mighty Lord Narada visited Indradeva’s kingdom with a message from his deceased father. Indradeva’s father said that he has not yet received Vaikuntha because of his past life’s deeds. He commanded Indradev to perform Indira Ekadashi’s fasting with intense devotion to help him achieve moksha or salvation. Indradeva followed his father’s commands and kept Indira Ekadashi’s fast. After the fast accomplishment, all the deeds of his father’s past life got balanced, and he received Vaikuntha or a stable place in heaven. Since then, Indira Ekadashi has been celebrated to achieve salvation and end the brutal cycle of life and death.
