In the vast ocean of Hindu festivals, Ekadashi holds a special place—especially for those on the spiritual path. Among the 24 Ekadashis observed each year, Mohini Ekadashi is one of the most sacred and spiritually rewarding. It falls during the Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) of the Vaishakha month, and is deeply connected with the Mohini Avatar of Lord Vishnu. But what makes Mohini Ekadashi so important for devotees? The Divine Connection- The name Mohini Ekadashi comes from the name Mohini, the enchanting form Lord Vishnu took during the Samudra Manthan. Disguised as Mohini, he distributed the amrit (nectar of immortality) to the gods, protecting dharma and restoring cosmic balance. The essence of this Ekadashi lies in divine charm used for a higher purpose, and the victory of wisdom over ego and desire.
