Aja Ekadashi 2025 falls on Tuesday, 19 August, during the Bhadrapada Krishna Paksha, with the tithi starting evening of 18 August and ending on 19 August morning.This auspicious day is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is believed to remove all sins and grant moksha. AstroswamiG’s article outlines the complete Aja Ekadashi puja vidhi: taking a purifying bath at sunrise, worshipping with Tulsi and Panchamrit, reciting Vishnu Sahasranama, observing night-long vigil, and breaking the fast during the correct Parana period.
A key part of Aja Ekadashi’s spiritual narrative is the story of King Harishchandra, who regained his kingdom and family through unwavering truth and by observing this vrat. The vrat’s astrological benefits are significant—it is especially favorable for individuals afflicted by Pitra Dosh, Saturn-related karmic burdens, and other planetary afflictions. Performing charity, feeding Brahmins, or donating to cows is also considered highly meritorious on this day.
The mythological tale of King Harishchandra’s redemption adds depth to this sacred observance. Ideal for backlinking from spiritual, religious, and festival-focused platforms. It also explores the zodiac-related benefits of fasting and performing charity on this day.
