Today, 2nd July 2024, marks the Ekadashi Tithi of Ashadh Krishna Paksha. On this date, devotees observe the Yogini Ekadashi fast, which is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. In addition to the fast, today’s Panchang highlights two significant Yogas: Tripushkar Yoga and Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga. Both of these yogas are considered highly auspicious for performing beneficial and sacred tasks.

Yogini Ekadashi Fast: Auspicious Time and Importance

The Yogini Ekadashi fast on 2nd July 2024 coincides with Shubh Yoga. This auspicious timing includes Tripushkar Yoga and Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga. Tripushkar Yoga will be in effect from 8:42 AM on 2nd July to 4:40 AM on 3rd July. Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga will last from 5:27 AM on 2nd July to 4:40 AM on 3rd July. According to astrological beliefs, actions performed during Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga lead to successful outcomes, and auspicious tasks undertaken in Tripushkar Yoga yield threefold results.

Observing the Yogini Ekadashi fast and engaging in religious rituals during this period is believed to be highly beneficial. Devotees worship Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi, seeking spiritual growth and the eradication of past sins. According to the Padma Purana, the merit gained from this fast is comparable to that of many Yagyas. Feeding the hungry and providing water to the thirsty are considered noble acts on this day. Staying awake throughout the night of Ekadashi is also of great significance, believed to bring wealth, happiness, and prosperity.
