Shukla Paksha | Mohini Ekadashi | Kathmandu, Nepal

Namaskaram,

ॐ Mohinyai Namah. This Monday in the Kathmandu Valley brings the sacred Ekadashi Tithi of Shukla Paksha, sanctified by Mohini Ekadashi. This day is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in His enchanting female form, Mohini, who emerged from the Samudra Manthan to ensure the nectar of immortality reached the Devas. Today also marks the magnificent Thrissur Pooram and Siddhilakshmi Jayanti.

Mohini Ekadashi: The Enchantment of Liberation

Mohini Ekadashi derives its power from Vishnu's maya—the divine illusion that restored cosmic order. This day supports strict nirjala vrata (fasting without water) or partial fasting. The observance is said to destroy papman (sinful reactions) accumulated over lifetimes and grants moksha to ancestors.

Nakshatra Transition: From Pleasure to Union

Until 09:33 PM, Purva Phalguni carries shringara-rasa (creative flowering). While usually good for romance, today’s Bhadra status poisons its application. After 09:33 PM, Uttara Phalguni begins, embodying saha-dharma (shared duty) and the commitments that outlast initial attraction—perfect for the Parana (fast-breaking) merit.

Simple Practice for Today

Vrata: Abstain from grains and beans. Chant "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya" 108 times.
Siddhilakshmi: Honor the goddess through Sri Yantra worship to seek spiritual perfection.
Parana: Break your fast precisely at 06:30 PM as Bhadra lifts, using tulsi-infused water and fruit.
