VAIKUNTA EKADASI

[Guest guest]

Vaikunta Ekadasi is also known as Mukkoti Ekadasi .This is the day on which

devotees enter the northern gate of the temple to have a darshan of the Lord

.. This is the only day on which northern gate are open in any temple . Once

upon a time when a demon named Murra created havoc all the gods prayed to

the Lord Narayana entering his abode of vaikunta through the northern gate.

As the purans says there are three crores of gods, this day is known as the

day of the three crores gods . Hence Mukoti Ekadasi.This is known as

Vaikunta Ekadasi because devotees will be absolved of all there sins when

they have the glimps of the Lord having enter through the north gate . In

the higher spiritual science noth indicates the sahasrara of the sadhaka the

northern gate means opening the way to sahasrara . They occurs in the month

of Dhanush that is the 11th day in the bright fortnight of the sustain month

in the secret Vaikunta Ekadasi day .This signifies the preparation for the

Uttharayana  which takes place in around 20 days from hence.Uttharayana moks

the sun gods journey towards the north that is from Muladhara signifies from

the south  ,the sadhaka starts his journey towards the north to reach the

peaks of the greater mountain Kailasha to have a union with the Lord on this

day people absorve a vow of fasting and engage themselves in spiritual

sadhana of their liking such as bhajans, sat sang , hawan, or puja or

meditation . Those inclinded towards the path of knowledge prefers reading

of scriptures or the vedic texts through all Ekadasi days because it gives a

direct access to the Lord if the devotee prays with a pure heart .
