Putrada Ekadashi 2025: Ekadashi vrat katha
According to the Hindu beliefs, Lord Krishna told Arjun about the importance of Ekadashis, upon which, he implored Lord Krishna to tell him the story of the Ekadashi of the Shukla Paksha of Shravana month. After this, Krishna told him that just by listening to the story of Putrada Ekadashi, one gets the blessings equivalent to the infinite yagna.
Per the katha, in the Dvapara Yuga, King Mahajita of Mahishmati, though righteous, was childless due to a sin from a past life—driving away a thirsty cow on Ekadashi. Sage Lomasha advised his subjects to observe Putrada Ekadashi and dedicate its merit to the king. They did so, and the king was blessed with a son, restoring joy and dharma.
The Putrada Ekadashi vrat katha teaches us that even the smallest sin causes great suffering; live truthfully, with devotion, and never hurt others—karma follows beyond lifetimes.
