The Divine Importance of Kamika Ekadashi 2025
According to the Brahmavaivarta Purana, observing Kamika Ekadashi with unwavering devotion purifies the soul and bestows the blessings of Vaikuntha, the eternal abode of Lord Vishnu. This is no ordinary day—Kamika Ekadashi 2025 is the first Ekadashi in the Chaturmas period, making its spiritual potency even more significant.
Renowned numerologist Rishabh A Grover highlights that the alignment of this Ekadashi in Shravan, coupled with numerological vibrations of the date 21/07/2025 (adding up to a spiritually potent number), marks it as a transformative day for inner awakening. “It’s a cosmic reset,” says Grover, “a day to release karmic burdens and set your life on a higher spiritual frequency.”
Rituals to Follow on Kamika Ekadashi 2025
The observance of Kamika Ekadashi 2025 involves fasting, devotion, and sacred rituals:
- Fasting (Vrat):
Devotees undertake a strict fast—either Nirjala (without water) or Phalahar (fruits and water only), depending on their capacity. - Tulsi Worship:
Offering Tulsi leaves to Lord Vishnu is considered highly auspicious. As per tradition, even glimpsing Tulsi leaves on this day cleanses one of sins. - Night Vigil (Jagaran):
Devotees stay awake through the night, chanting ‘Om Namo Narayana’, singing bhajans, and reciting Vishnu Sahasranama. - Temple Visits and Pujas:
Visiting Lord Vishnu or Krishna temples and participating in community bhajans enhances the spiritual effect of the vrat. - Charity and Kindness:
Offering food, clothes, or donations to the needy amplifies the spiritual benefits of the fast.
