Devutthani Ekadashi, also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi, marks the divine awakening of Lord Vishnu after His four-month cosmic rest during Chaturmas. As per Sanatan Dharma, this sacred day symbolizes the revival of divine activity in the universe and is considered highly auspicious for performing spiritual and purificatory rituals that align one’s life with divine order. On this Devutthani Ekadashi, Sri Mandir invites you to participate in Narayan Bali Puja, Tripindi Shraadh, and Tila Homa at the sacred Gokarna Tirth Kshetra, also known as Dakshin Kashi, where Lord Shiva is believed to eternally reside.

According to ancient scriptures, performing these rites on Devutthani Ekadashi carries exceptional power. It helps dissolve karmic burdens, brings balance to life’s energies, and invokes the blessings of both Vishnu and Shiva for spiritual upliftment and peace. The sanctity of Gokarna amplifies every mantra and offering, making it one of the most spiritually charged locations for such ceremonies. According to scriptures like the Garuda Purana, unresolved energies arising from unfulfilled karmas or untimely departures can affect harmony and progress in life. These sacred rites are designed to release such energies and restore balance:

Narayan Bali is performed to help liberate restless souls and establish peace in the subtle realms.

Tripindi Shraadh offers closure for karmic debts and forgotten obligations, bringing harmony to one’s lineage.

Tila Homa, the sacred offering of sesame seeds into the fire, is believed to nourish and uplift divine energies.

What amplifies the power of these rites is their location - Gokarna, a sacred Shiva Kshetra where every mantra and offering is believed to carry intensified potency. Performing these rituals here is said to accelerate spiritual liberation (moksha) and promote deep inner healing.

This Devutthani Ekadashi, don’t miss the opportunity to align your life with divine harmony and spiritual renewal through Sri Mandir’s guided ceremonies at Gokarna Tirth Kshetra.

Devuthani Ekadashi, also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi, is celebrated on the Ekadashi tithi (11th lunar day) of the bright fortnight of Kartika month. This day is considered highly sacred as it marks the awakening of Lord Vishnu from His four-month-long yogic sleep, symbolizing the renewal of auspicious activities in the universe. It is believed that Lord Vishnu’s awakening removes stagnation from life and brings divine blessings of happiness, peace, and prosperity. On this special occasion, performing the Pitru Dosh Shanti Mahapuja and Ganga Aarti in Varanasi is regarded as extremely meritorious.

The scriptures state that when the souls of ancestors remain unsatisfied, or if their tarpan, pind daan, and shraddha rituals are not performed properly, their unfulfilled energies manifest as instability, conflicts, and disharmony in the family. Sudden disputes, financial blockages, and persistent stress are considered signs of Pitru Dosh. Performing the Pitru Dosh Shanti Mahapuja on the auspicious day of Devuthani Ekadashi provides peace to ancestral souls and restores harmony and stability in the home. When performed in the sacred city of Kashi, the effect of this puja multiplies manifold, as Varanasi is regarded as the abode of Lord Shiva and the eternal land of liberation (Moksha).

The Ganga Aarti holds a special place in this ritual. It is believed that the offering of lamps (Deep Daan) and prayers on the banks of the Ganga satisfies the souls of ancestors, who in turn bless their descendants. During the Aarti at Assi Ghat, the sacred chanting of mantras, the sound of conch shells, and the glow of countless lamps fill the atmosphere with divine spiritual energy. This moment not only serves as a bridge to ancestor appeasement but also brings peace and positivity into the devotee’s life.

On this sacred occasion of Devuthani Ekadashi, participate in the Pitru Dosh Shanti Mahapuja and Ganga Aarti organized by Sri Mandir in Varanasi.

💫 The concluding period of Kartik month is considered extremely holy. It is believed that the last three dates of this month—Trayodashi, Chaturdashi, and Purnima—are the time to receive the special grace of deities, sages, and ancestors. These dates have also been called "Pitru Tripti Kaal" (Ancestor Satisfaction Period), because this is the time when the Sun God moves from the Libra sign towards the Scorpio sign and the flow of divine energy becomes more active on earth. Rituals, tarpan (libation), and charity performed during this period are considered many times more fruitful than on ordinary days. On this auspicious occasion, Pitru Shanti Mahapuja, pind daan (offering of rice balls), and til tarpan (sesame libation) are being organized in three holy pilgrimage sites like Gaya, Kashi, and Gokarna.

🌿 The tradition of performing pind daan on the footprints of Lord Vishnu in Gaya Tirtha (pilgrimage site) has been continuing since ancient times. It is believed that the tarpan and pind daan performed here reach the Pitru Loka (ancestral realm) directly and provide satisfaction to the souls.

🌿 Kashi, where Lord Shiva himself resides, the Pitru Shanti rituals there are considered extremely effective for spiritual balance and family happiness-peace. The tarpan and water offering performed here provide the direction of moksha (salvation) to the ancestors.

🌿 Gokarna, which is called the “Kashi of the South,” the rituals performed there with til tarpan and Vedic methods are considered a means to calm the effect of Pitru Dosha (ancestral fault) and incomplete karmas. Here, by the grace of Lord Mahabaleshwara, the souls of the ancestors attain peace and the descendants attain mental stability.

It is mentioned in the scriptures that when a person's ancestors remain unsatisfied due to incomplete desires or untimely death, then obstacles, disputes, economic instability, and mental stress may increase in the lives of their descendants. Therefore, the Pitru Shanti Mahapuja, pind daan, and til tarpan performed ritually on these dates are considered helpful in bringing peace, unity, and stability to the family.

💫 This year, an opportunity is being received to participate in the Gaya, Kashi, and Gokarna Pitru Tri-Kshetra Mahapuja through Sri Mandir, which is a superior spiritual path to express reverence towards ancestors and bring harmony and balance to the family. It is believed that the rituals performed collectively at these three pilgrimage sites satisfy the ancestors and make the descendants feel mental, familial, and spiritual peace, so do not delay, do not let this golden opportunity to participate in this holy ritual slip away.

🌿 On the last three dates of the end of Kartik month, Pitru Shanti Mahapuja will be held simultaneously in three holy pilgrimage sites like Gaya, Gokarna, and Kashi 🙏✨
