Ekadashi fasts hold a special place in Sanatan Dharma. Each Ekadashi has a unique significance, and the purpose of each is to eradicate sins and attain salvation. Among them is Pausha Putrada Ekadashi. This Ekadashi is especially believed to bestow the blessings of children, happiness, prosperity, salvation, and the grace of Lord Vishnu. By fasting on this day and helping the poor and the destitute, all the devotee’s sins are destroyed and all their wishes are fulfilled.

Mythological Significance of Pausha Putrada Ekadashi

According to the Padma Purana, this fast is extremely beneficial for those who desire the blessing of children. The Mahabharata mentions that on this day, Lord Krishna told Yudhishthira that anyone who observes the fast of Pausha Putrada Ekadashi with faith and devotion will be free from all sins in their life, receive good children, happiness, prosperity, and ultimately, salvation. The effect of this fast is said to be comparable to that of the Ashwamedha Yagya.

The Importance of Charity, Service, and Philanthropy

Pausha Putrada Ekadashi is not only a day of fasting and chanting but also of service, charity, and compassion. Any kind of help to the needy, specially abled, and orphans on this day brings a hundredfold merit. The Kurma Purana, while highlighting the importance of charity and cooperation, states:

Swargayurbhutikamen tathapaopaashantaye.
Mumukshuṇā cha daatavyaṁ brahmanebhyasthaavaham.

That is, those who desire heaven, long life, and prosperity, and those who desire peace from sin and attain salvation, should donate generously to Brahmins and deserving individuals.

The Virtue of Donation and Support on Paush Putrada Ekadashi

On the auspicious occasion of Pausha Putrada Ekadashi, participate in giving new life to specially abled children who come to Narayan Seva Sansthan for treatment by performing their operations and earn the virtue of Pausha Putrada Ekadashi. Your donation and support will not only bring you happiness, prosperity, and the blessing of children, but your virtue will also ignite the light of love, compassion, and hope in the lives of these needy, specially abled children, enabling them to stand on their own feet and live happy lives.
