Ekadashi Vrat Parana Vidhi: Ekadashi fast is considered to have special significance in Hindu religion. It is believed that by worshiping Lord Vishnu and observing fast on this day, the sins of life are destroyed and one attains happiness and prosperity. But according to religious scriptures, merely observing the fast is not considered enough, but breaking it at the right time i.e. breaking the fast is also considered equally important. According to the Panchang, the fast of Apara Ekadashi is being observed today and it will be broken the next day on Dwadashi Tithi. Many people observe Ekadashi fast with full devotion, but due to lack of knowledge of the rules of Parana, they break the fast at the wrong time. It is believed that due to this one cannot get the full results of the fast. Let us know the important rules and precautions related to observing Ekadashi fast.

What is Parana?

According to religious beliefs, the process of completing the fast methodically is called Parana. Ekadashi fast is always broken on Dwadashi date. It is said in the scriptures that performing Parana at the right time is as important as observing a fast.

When should Ekadashi fast be broken?

According to religious scriptures, Ekadashi fast is broken after sunrise on Dwadashi date. There is no rule of breaking the fast before sunrise. Therefore, even by mistake, one should not break the fast at night or before sunrise. If Dwadashi Tithi lasts for some time after sunrise, then performing Parana during that period is considered auspicious. Postponing Parana for too long was also not considered appropriate.

Which things are considered auspicious to break the fast in Parana?

According to religious beliefs, Ekadashi fast should be broken with satvik and light food. At the time of Paran, it is considered auspicious to first offer food to Lord Vishnu and receive Prasad. Many people start Parana with Tulsi Dal and water, which is considered very auspicious.

Do not make these mistakes even by mistake at the time of Paran!

There is no rule mentioned in the scriptures for Parana before sunrise. Doing so is considered against the rules of fasting. If Dwadashi Tithi passes and Parana is performed after that, then the full benefit of the fast is not achieved. One should not eat food containing garlic, onion as soon as the fast is broken. It has always been considered auspicious to perform Parana with satvik food.

anger and negativity

There is a religious belief that fasting is not only a symbol of giving up food but also of purification of mind and behavior. Therefore, one should avoid anger and negative thinking on the day of Paran.

Why does Dwadashi Tithi have special significance?

According to religious texts, Dwadashi date is considered dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Therefore, charity, charity, feeding the needy and worshiping Lord Vishnu on this day are considered very auspicious. It is believed that the full virtue of Ekadashi fast is achieved only when Parana is done at the right time and with the right method.

What to keep in mind during Ekadashi fast?

People observing Ekadashi fast must take bath and worship before Parana. After this, offer food to Lord Vishnu and take Prasad. According to religious belief, Parana done with devotion and regularly brings happiness, peace and positivity in a person's life.
