According to the Vedic Panchang, fasting is observed on the Ekadashi of both the Krishna and Shukla Paksha every month. It is a day dedicated to the worship of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. This year, the Kamada Ekadashi falls on 8th April, 2025. On this auspicious day, it is recommended to chant the 108 names of Maa Tulsi during the prayers, as this practice is believed to bring prosperous results and ensure that there is no lack of wealth in one’s life.
Importance of Including Tulsi in Offerings
Tulsi, being a beloved devotee of Lord Vishnu, holds a special significance in religious rituals. It is essential to include Tulsi in the offerings made to Lord Vishnu during prayers, as it is considered highly auspicious. According to tradition, if Tulsi is not included in the offerings, Lord Vishnu does not accept the bhog (food offerings). Therefore, on Kamada Ekadashi, special prayers and worship of Maa Tulsi are recommended.
How to Make Maa Lakshmi Pleased
To overcome financial difficulties, it is essential to regularly worship Maa Tulsi. Lighting a ghee lamp and performing an Aarti with devotion while offering Tulsi leaves is a recommended ritual. According to tradition, performing this ritual invokes the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and opens the doors to financial prosperity.
