Prabodhini Ekadashi Vrat
Katha 22nd November 2015 Sunday in Hindi - प्रबोधिनी एकादशी व्रत कथा
Prabodhini Ekadashi also known as Devotthan Ekadashi, is the 11th lunar day (ekadashi) in the bright fortnight (
Shukla Paksha) of the
Hindu month of Kartik. It marks the end of the four-month period of Chaturmas, when god
Vishnu is believed to sleep.
It is believed that Vishnu sleeps on
Shayani Ekadashi and wakes on Prabodhini Ekadashi, thus giving this day the name "Prabodhini Ekadashi" ("awakening eleventh"), Vishnu-prabodhini ("awakening of Vishnu") and Dev-Prabodhini Ekadashi, Deothan, Dev uthav ekadashi or Dev Oothi ekadashi ("god's awakening").
The end of Chaturmas, when marriages are prohibited, signifies the beginning of the
Hindu wedding season. It is also known as
Kartiki Ekadashi, Kartik Shukla ekadashi and Kartiki. Prabodhini Ekadashi is followed by
Kartik Poornima, which day is celebrated as
Dev Diwali or Diwali of gods.

क्ल एकादशी को देव-शयन हो जाने के बाद से प्रारम्भ हुए चातुर्मास का समापन तक शुक्ल एकादशी के दिन देवोत्थान-उत्सव होने पर होता है। इस दिन वैष्णव ही नहीं,
स्मार्त श्रद्धालु भी बडी आस्था के साथ व्रत करते हैं।
भगवान विष्णु को चार मास की योग-निद्रा से जगाने
के लिए घण्टा, शंख, मृदंग आदि
वाद्यों की मांगलिक ध्वनि के बीचये श्लोक पढकर जगाते हैं-
उत्तिष्ठोत्तिष्ठगोविन्द त्यजनिद्रांजगत्पते। त्वयिसुप्तेजगन्नाथ जगत् सुप्तमिदंभवेत्॥
उत्तिष्ठोत्तिष्ठवारा
ह दंष्ट्रोद्धृतवसुन्धरे।
हिरण्याक्षप्राणघातिन्त्रैलोक्येमङ्गलम्कुरु॥
