One of the most spiritually intense and rewarding fasts in the Hindu calendar, Nirjala Ekadashi 2025 will be observed on 6th June 2025. Also known as Papanashini Ekadashi, this holy day is devoted to Lord Trivikrama, the giant form of the Vamana avatar of Lord Vishnu. Observed on the Ekadashi tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the Jyeshtha month, this fast is considered the most powerful among all 24 Ekadashis observed annually.
What Makes Nirjala Ekadashi 2025 So Significant?
The word ‘Nirjala’ translates to ‘without water’, and true to its name, this fast is observed without consuming food or water for an entire day and night. As per Hindu beliefs, observing this fast with utmost devotion is equivalent to keeping all the other Ekadashi fasts of the year combined.
Renowned numerologist Rishabh A Grover emphasizes the cosmic significance of this day in 2025. According to him, the planetary alignments on June 6th enhance the spiritual vibrations, making it an excellent time for cleansing karmic debts and setting powerful intentions for the year ahead. He notes that the number 6 (from the date) and the vibration of Ekadashi (11th lunar day) form a numerological bridge between sacrifice and abundance.
