Vaikunta Ekaadasi https://archive.org/details/vaikunta-ekadasi-mukkoti-dwadasi-significance-of-uttara-dwara-darshanam_202501 Ekaadasi is the 11 th lunar day (thithi) of Hindu calendar that occurs twice in a lunar month both in Sukla paksha (bright fortnight) as well as in Krishna paksha (dark fortnight). That means we get two Ekaadasi days in a lunar month and in a year there will be 24 Ekaadasi days; sometimes even more whenever there is Adhika maasam as per lunar calendar. Ekaadasi is the most favourite day of Lord Vishnu and that’s why it is also known as Hari-Dina the day dedicated to Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu). Ekaadasi has attained lot of prominence in Hindu religion as it is the most sacred day pres cribed for worshiping Lord Vishnu. We find devout Hindus observe fasting on Ekaadasi and spend the whole day in spiritual pursuits. It is said that there is no austerity that is equivalent to Ekaadasi Vratha in terms of merits.

Dhanurmasam (Concept - Significance - Technicalities - Merits)

Image
dHaNurMaAsaM - aRunodAya kaAla (Concept - Significance - Merits) https://archive.org/details/dhanurmaasa-saadhana In Hindu religion we come across two types of calendars being followed viz. Solar Calendar known as Sauramana and Lunar calendar known as Chaandramana. In Solar Calendar the months derive their names based on the transit of Sun in a particular zodiac sign and in Lunar calendar it is based on the constellation (Nakshatra) occurring on the full moon day (Pournami). The period between two successive solar transits (sankramana) or the time taken by the Sun to pass through a zodiac sign is known as a Solar month. Accordingly when Sun transits into Sagittarius (Dhanus Raasi) sign that month is denoted as Dhanurmasam. It marks the entry of Sun into Dhanus raasi that is known as Dhanus Sankramana which generally occurs around the middle of the winter month December. Dhanurmasam generally occurs in between the two lunar months Margasira and Pushya. As per English calendar, Dhanurmas...
