    Parsva Ekadashi 2024: Methodological story behind the celebration

    The story behind Parsva Ekadashi revolves around the demon king Bali and Vishnu’s Vamana avatar. King Bali was a powerful and righteous ruler, who gained great strength and control over 3 worlds through true devotion to Lord Vishnu. Despite his generosity, his growing power threatened gods as he replaced kind, Indra.

    As a result, Lord Vamana, the Avtar of Lord Vishnu, a dwarf Brahmin, helps all the deities. King Bali was doing havan when Vamana approached and requested three-half of the land. Bali is known for his unselfishness. Suddenly, Vamana grew into a giant form, covering the entire earth with one step, the second step on heaven, and leaving no space for the 3rd.

    King Bali realized that no other common man but Lord Vishnu was a form of Vamana. Bali offered his head for 3rd step. Vamana placed his foot on Bali’s pushing him to Patal Lok. But impressed by Bali’s devotion, Vishnu allowed him to visit his kingdom yearly.
