Seeking Blessings for Offspring? Observe Putrada Ekadashi on December 30th
New Delhi, [Current Date] – Devotees across the nation are preparing to observe Putrada Ekadashi on December 30th, a sacred day dedicated to the worship of Lord Lakshmi Narayan. According to Vedic scriptures, this auspicious occasion, which falls on the Ekadashi Tithi (11th day) of the Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of the moon) in the Paush month, is believed to bestow blessings of progeny and ensure the continuation of family lineage.
Families hoping for children observe a fast and perform special prayers to Lakshmi Narayan, seeking the boon of parenthood. It is believed that observing the Putrada Ekadashi Vrat (fast) with devotion leads to happiness, prosperity, and growth of the family.
Religious texts suggest that childless couples who worship Lakshmi Narayan with proper rituals on this day are blessed with children. Devotees are encouraged to recite the “Santan Gopal Stotra” during their prayers to further enhance the blessings for offspring. The stotra contains various prayers dedicated to Lakshmi Narayan, seeking his blessings for a healthy and virtuous child.
