Vaikuntha Ekadashi

Vaikuntha Ekadashi ((サンスクリット:वैकुंठ एकादशि); (テルグ語:వైకుంఠ ఏకాదశి); (カンナダ語:ವೈಕುಂಠ ಏಕಾದಶಿ); (タミル語:வைகுண்ட ஏகாதசி)) (Sometimes called Mukkoti Ekadashi in Telugu) is the Shukla paksha Ekadashi that occurs during the Pausha month in the Hindu calendar (corresponding to late December - January in English calendar).〔J. Gordon Melton Religious Celebrations: An Encyclopedia of Holidays, Festivals, ... - Volume 2 - - 2011 Page 895 "Vaikuntha Ekadashi - Vaikuntha Ekadashi is the name given to the two fast days on the 11th day of the two halves of the month of Magha (December and January on the Common Era calendar) for Vaishnava Hindus."〕
Vaishnavism (Worship of Vishnu) culture believes that ‘Vaikuntha Dwaram’ or ‘the gate to Lord's Inner Sanctum’ is opened on this day. The Margashirsha shukla paksha ekadashi in lunar calendar is known as a 'Mokshada Ekadashi'. Special prayers, ''yagnas'', discourses and speeches are arranged at Vishnu temples across the world on this auspicious day.
==Legend==

According to the Vishnu Purana, fasting on Vaikuntha Ekadashi is equivalent to fasting on the remaining 23 Ekadashis of the (Hindu) year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Vaikuntha Ekadashi )〕 However according to Vaishnava tradition fasting is mandatory on all Ekadashi of both Shukla paksha and Krishna paksha. Fasting on Ekadashi is considered holier than any other religious observation.
Vishnu opened the gate of Vaikuntham (his abode) for two demons in spite of their being against him. They also asked for the boon that whoever listens to their story and sees the image of Vishnu coming out of the door (called Dwar), called Vaikunth Dwar, will reach Vaikunth as well. Temples all over India make a door kind of structure on this day for devotees to walk through.
According to Padma Purana, the female energy of Vishnu slayed the demon Muran and protects the 'Devas'. This happened on the eleventh day of lunar month during the sun's journey in the Dhanurrashi or Dhanu Rashi. Impressed by the act, Vishnu names her as 'Ekadashi' and gives her the boon that those who worship 'Ekadashi' on the day of her victory over Muran would reach 'Vaikunth' (His abode).
Vaikuntha Ekadashi is one of the important and auspicious days for Hindus. It is dedicated to Vishnu. It occurs in the Hindu calendar, in the month of Margashirsha (between December and January). When observed, it bestows liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
