Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Vaikuntha Ekadashi The Vedic literatures describe that as one moves towards the higher > planetary systems of this universe, time dilates, in the sense that the time > span increases. One day on earth is many years on the lower planetary > systems. Similarly, one year of earth is equal to a single day (and night) > of Swargaloka (Heavenly planets). Time further dilates as one moves higher > up towards more advanced planetary systems. > > A Chaturyuga is made of four 'sub-yugas'. Kaliyuga, the present age of > quarrel and mismanagement, lasts 432,000 years, of which 5225 years have > passed. The previous yuga, Dvaparayuga, when Lord Krsna appeared on earth, > lasts twice as much, or 864,000 years. The yuga previous to it, Tretayuga, > lasts three times as much as kaliyuga, and the earliest yuga, Satyayuga, > lasts four times as much. Totally, one Chaturyuga lasts 4,320,000 years. A > thousand such Chaturyugas make just one day of Brahma, the topmost living > entity in this universe, who resides on the most glorious planet in this > universe- Brahmaloka. And his night is as long. His year is again, 365 days, > and he lives for a full hundred years. That is the life span of this > universe (4,320,000x1000x2x365x100 years as per our calculation). > > As said before, one year on earth is equal to one day (and night) on > Swargaloka, the planet of the demigods. Every morning, Lord Vishnu arrives > at the entrance of the Vaikuntha Planets, which are situated beyond this > material universe, and gives 'darshan' to all demigods who come there to see Him everyday. 'Everyday' for the demigods means 'every year' to us. And the day of the demigods begins at the time of Vaikuntha Ekadashi on earth. > Therefore, having a glimpse of the Lord on this day is considered most > auspicious. > - "Dr.Gajaraj" <gajarajk <Oppiliappan> Thursday, January, 2004 12:20 AM Vaikunda Ekadesi > Dear Sirs, > Can any one you please tell me the details about > Vaikunda eka desi, how to perform fastings, some one > said we should not sleep also.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Dear Dr.Gajaraj: The two main items for celebratign this special day ( httP://www.ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/dec96/0064.html) is to (1) Fast if you can , otherwise observe a diet of fruits , milk and eating food made from broken grains and (2) enter Vaikunta DhwAram at a nearby temple . Children and people over 70 are excused from this EkAdasi fasting .Sleeplessness is not necssary. Our Lord enacts the entrance of Northern gate of SrI Vaikuntam as a Mumukshu for gaining Moksha siddhi.These gates are set up in temples especially for this day.
