The Supreme Benefit of Ekadashi Donation
One who contributes for Ekadashi goes directly to the abode of Lord Vishnu after enjoying many different kinds of happiness in this material world. The merit obtained by support on Ekadashi Day cannot be measured. Ekadashi donation grants one a religious attitude, wealth, and, at last, liberation. The Lord burns up all sins and bestows His transcendental abode to a person who contributes for the auspicious Ekadashi Day.
Ekadashi - A Day of Divine Blessings
Lord Vishnu removes all obstacles in the spiritual progress of a person and grants him the perfection of life. Ekadashi is the most meritorious day for destroying all sins, and it has appeared to benefit everyone in the universe by bestowing all varieties of perfection.
The Glory of Devotion on Ekadashi
A person is glorious who devotes himself to Lord Vishnu and spends all his time studying the glories of Ekadashi. Donation on Ekadashi Day frees one from the reactions to such sins as killing a brahmana. There is no doubt about this. Ekadashi is one of the best days to worship Lord Vishnu.
Significance of Vaikuntha Ekadashi Seva
Vaikuntha Ekadashi is a highly auspicious day dedicated to Lord Vishnu, observed with great reverence, particularly in South India. It is believed that on this day, the gates of Vaikuntha, the divine abode of Lord Vishnu, are opened to sincere devotees. Engaging in seva (selfless service) and making donations on this day is considered a powerful way to earn spiritual merit and receive divine blessings. The seva performed on this day is not just an act of charity but a profound expression of devotion and love for the Lord.
Importance of Seva
Seva is a central practice on Vaikuntha Ekadashi, encompassing various forms of selfless service to Lord Vishnu and His devotees. By offering seva, devotees aim to awaken their dormant love for the Lord and draw closer to the divine. Some key sevas include:
- Tulasi Archana Seva: Offering Tulasi leaves to the deity of Sri Srinivasa Govinda.
- Vaikuntha Dwara Puja: Participating in the special puja at the Vaikuntha Dwara, the symbolic gate to Lord Vishnu's abode.
- Laddu Prasada Seva: Sponsoring the distribution of laddu prasada, sacred food offerings.
- Srivari Abhisheka: Contributing to the grand abhishekam (anointing ceremony) performed for the deity of Sri Srinivasa Govinda.
- Annadana Seva: Sponsoring the distribution of prasadam (blessed food), considered a significant act of charity.
- Vastra Alankara Seva: Adorning the Lord with new clothes and jewelry.
- Srivari Hundi Seva: Making an offering of devotion to Srinivasa Govinda by donating to the temple hundi (donation box).
By participating in these sevas, devotees believe they are serving the Lord directly, which helps in spiritual growth. It is believed that Lord Vishnu personally comes to the entrance of His temple on Vaikuntha Ekadashi, and those who serve Him with faith are guaranteed entry into Vaikuntha, His eternal spiritual abode.
Importance of Donation
Donations on Vaikuntha Ekadashi are considered essential for supporting temples and their various activities. These donations support the maintenance of the temples, fund special events, and enable the distribution of prasadam to all visitors. The act of donating is also viewed as a way to express devotion and receive divine grace. In addition to the direct spiritual benefits, many temples, such as ISKCON, offer tax exemptions on donations, making them beneficial to both the donor and the temple.
Stories of Charity and Devotion
The scriptures highlight several stories that emphasize the significance of charity and devotion, especially on Ekadashi:
King Ambarisha and Durvasa Muni
The story of King Ambarisha, a great devotee of Lord Vishnu, illustrates the importance of devotion and the protection offered by the Lord. King Ambarisha’s devotion was so powerful that Lord Vishnu’s Sudarshana Chakra protected him from a sage. This story emphasizes the idea that sincere devotion and acts of charity attract divine grace.
Nammalwar's return to Vaikuntha
Vaikuntha Ekadashi also commemorates the day when Nammalwar, a revered devotee of the Sri Sampradaya, returned to Godhead. His life serves as an inspiration for devotees seeking spiritual liberation. It is in honor of Nammalwar's return that the Vaikuntha Dwara is opened on this day.
Significance of Ekadashi
Various scriptures highlight the merit of observing Ekadashi and engaging in acts of charity. The Brahma-vaivarta Purana states that those who observe Ekadashi and give in charity attain liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The Skanda Purana mentions that the merit earned by those who give in charity on Ekadashi becomes imperishable. Lord Krishna himself emphasizes that even the poor should give in charity according to their means on Ekadashi.
In conclusion, Vaikuntha Ekadashi is a day of immense spiritual significance. Engaging in seva and making donations on this day is a profound way to express devotion, earn spiritual merit, and receive the divine grace of Lord Vishnu. The stories of great devotees, the importance of charity, and the various practices highlight the transformative power of Vaikuntha Ekadashi, making it a special time for spiritual seekers.
