In Sanatan Dharma, Ekadashi date is considered very auspicious for worshiping Lord Vishnu. Ekadashi falling in Krishna Paksha of Ashadha month is called Yogini Ekadashi. This time this fast will be observed on Friday, July 10. There is a religious belief that by fasting on Yogini Ekadashi with devotion and regularly, one gets the special blessings of Lord Vishnu.
At the same time, the sins of the person are destroyed and many types of obstacles in life start going away. In the scriptures, the virtue of this fast has been compared to the results obtained from big yagyas. By fasting on this Ekadashi, one gets the virtuous benefit of feeding food to 88 thousand Brahmins.
What to do on Yogini Ekadashi?
Those devotees who are not able to keep fast without water or food for the whole day, they can eat fruits at one time as per their capacity. Consuming fruits, milk or fruit juice is also considered acceptable during this fast. Even if for some reason it is not possible to observe a fast, one must still worship Lord Vishnu with devotion. According to the scriptures, just by offering water to Lord Vishnu, offering Tulsi Dal and remembering him, special virtue is achieved.
Yogini Ekadashi fast and worship method
The fast of Yogini Ekadashi is considered to start from Dashami Tithi. Eat satvik food on this day and follow restraint. On the morning of Ekadashi, wake up in Brahma Muhurta and take bath and offer Arghya to the Sun God. After this, worship Lord Ganesha, Lord Vishnu and Mother Lakshmi duly in the home temple. At the time of worship, anoint Lord Vishnu with Ganga water and offer Panchamrit. After this offer sandalwood, roli, akshat, incense, lamp and flowers. Offer Tulsi leaves, fruits and sweets to God.
During the puja, chant the mantra “Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevay” with devotion and take a pledge to fast.

Donating food, clothes, water or other essential items as per one’s capacity on this day is also considered particularly fruitful.
