Yogini Ekadashi Vart katha

Once upon a time Dharmaraj Yudhishthira went to Lord Shri Krishna and said to him.

Just like you told me about the importance of fasting on Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi, now please tell me the story of Ashadha Krishna Ekadashi.

What is its name? What is its importance? Tell me all this as well.

Shri Krishna Ji told Dharamraj Ji that “Yogini Ekadashi” is another name of Ashadh Krishna Ekadashi.

By observing Yogini Ekadashi fast, a person gets freedom from all his sins. Yogini Ekadashi is said to be the Ekadashi that gives salvation in all the worlds.

This Ekadashi is also celebrated by Gods, Gandharvas etc., that is why this Ekadashi is considered famous in all the three worlds.

I am telling you the story described in the Puranas. Listen to the story carefully.

There was a king named Kuber who was a devotee of Lord Shiva. His kingdom was in a city named Alakapuri in Swarg Dham. He used to worship Lord Shiva every day.

There was a gardener named Hem. He used to bring flowers for the king’s worship every day. Hem Mali’s wife was very beautiful and her name was Vishalakshi.

Like every day, he brought flowers from Manasarovar but due to his lust, he started joking and having sex with Vishalakshi.

The king waited for the gardener in the palace till noon.

Worried, King Kuber ordered his soldiers to go and find out the reason for the gardener’s absence, because he had not brought flowers yet, which was causing a delay in the king’s worship.

The soldiers said that Maharaj, he is very lustful, he must be joking and having fun with his wife. Hearing this, the king became very angry and angrily called the gardener.

Trembling with fear of the king, Hem Mali appeared before the king in the palace. The king became angry and said- ‘Oh foolish sinner! Lustful!

Due to your lust the worship got delayed due to which my most revered god of all gods, Mahadev, has been disrespected, therefore I curse you that you will be a leper in the mortal world and will suffer the separation from your wife.

Due to the curse of King Kuber, Hem Mali fell from heaven to earth. As soon as he came to earth, he became leper.

And due to the curse, his wife also disappeared at the same time. Mali suffered a lot in the mortal world, he kept wandering in the forest away from humans.

He could not sleep at night, but due to the effect of worship of Lord Shiva, he did not forget the memory of his previous life.

One day while wandering he reached the hermitage of Rishi Markandeya, whose hermitage looked like the court of Brahma and who was older than Brahma. Seeing the sage, Hem Mali fell at his feet.

Markandeyaji asked the gardener, what sin have you committed, due to which you are suffering this pain.

Hem the gardener told him the whole story. The most glorious sage, after meditating and knowing the truth, said – You have definitely spoken the truth in front of me, so now for salvation I am telling you an Ekadashi fast.

If you will observe the fast of “Yogini Ekadashi” of the Krishna Paksha of Jyeshtha month as per the prescribed method, then all your sins will be forgiven.

On hearing this, Hem Mali was pleased and prostrated before the sage. And Hem Mali observed the Yogini Ekadashi fast as advised by the sage.

Due to the effect of the great fast of Yogini Ekadashi, Hem Mali again came to heaven in his old form and started living happily with Vishalakshi.
