Dev Uthani Ekadashi will begin at 11:03 PM on November 22, 2023.
Dev Uthani Ekadashi falls on the Ekadashi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha during the Kartik month and devotees worship Lord Vishnu and seek his blessings.
Out of the 24 Ekadashis celebrated, Dev Uthani Ekadashi is considered one of the biggest that Hindus celebrate. Dev Uthani Ekadashi falls on the Ekadashi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha during the Kartik month and is also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi and Devutthan Ekadashi. According to Pandit Devanand Ji, all kinds of auspicious works start on this date, and it is considered one of the major Hindu festivals.
It is believed that whatever things are considered difficult and rare, on the occasion of Dev Uthani Ekadashi, if one prays with full devotion their wish will be fulfilled. Pandit Devanand ji also said that worshipping Tulsi on this day has very pleasant benefits, helps in getting rid of the Vaastu defects, and also destroys negative energy. However, he has also shared 15 major measures that will help to brighten up luck and bring positivity to life:
1. Prepare a pavilion of sugarcane around the tulsi plant.
2. Install an arch of mango and marigold flowers on the mandap.
3. Make rangoli of the octagon and lotus shapes near the place of worship. This is considered very auspicious.
4. Make conch, chakra, and cow’s feet with the help of Rangoli or colour; it is auspicious.
5. Worship only sixty Amla leaves of Tulsi and keep the plant nearby.
6. While doing Panchopachar all-round worship, invoke Tulsi with the Dashakshari mantra.
7. Along with the invocation, show the ghee lamp and incense to Tulsi.
8. After taking a bath with Ganga water, offer vermilion, roli, sandalwood, akshat, and naivedya.
9. Decorate Tulsi with clothes and sixteen adornments and offer it.
10. Tulsi is Hari Priyashi and Lakshmi Swaroop, so read Lakshmi Ashtotra or Damodar Ashtotra.
11. It is believed in religious scriptures that the result of offering Tulsi to Shri Hari on the day of Ekadashi is equal to ten thousand gods.
12. On this day, couples who have not conceived yet can get the happiness of having children by reciting Tulsi Namashtak.
13. On this auspicious day, the recitation of Tulsi Namashtak leads to marriage for the unmarried and brings sweetness to relationships.
14. On the day of Tulsi Vivah, after the marriage of Shri Hari and Mata Tulsi, one enters the house with a pot full of money and faces a shortage of money.
15. To get a job and increase business, tie a Shyama Tulsi plant in a yellow cloth and keep it in your office or shop on Thursday. One will get the desired results.
