History of Nirjala Ekadashi 2024
Bhima, the second and most powerful of the five Pandava brothers in the Hindu epic Mahabharata, is the inspiration behind the name Nirjala Ekadashi. The Brahma Vaivarta Purana states that Bhima, who had an intense love of eating, attempted to keep all ekadashi fasts but was unable to suppress his appetite. He went to the sage Vyasa, the grandfather of the Pandavas and the author of the Mahabharata, in search of a solution. Vyasa counseled him to keep a severe fast on Nirjala Ekadashi, which falls on one day every year. Bhima achieved the virtue of all 24 ekadashis by performing this.

Relevance of the Nirjala Ekadashi
The Vishnu and Markandeya Puras claim that Ekadashi is a manifestation of Vishnu in and of itself. It is said that keeping the vrata (fast) on this day will atone for all sins. It is said that completing the Nirjala Ekadashi vrata wins the favor of Vishnu, bestowing upon the devotee bliss, prosperity, and pardon for transgressions. The merit accruing from observing all 24 of the year’s ekadashis is given to the devotee. Vaishnavas are particularly well-liked and adhere to this fast.

It is stated that the spectator attains moksha, or salvation, and long life. After a person passes away, their soul is usually retrieved by the emissaries of Yama, the god of death, who then decides whether to send them to Naraka (hell) or Svarga (heaven). But individuals who follow the Nirjala Ekadashi customs are thought to be exempt from Yama’s judgment and are instead taken by Vishnu’s messengers to Vaikuntha, Vishnu’s abode, after death.
