Benefits
Probodhini (Utthana / Hari-prabodhini) Ekadashi marks Sri Vishnu's 'awakening' from the 4-month yoga-nidra He entered on Sayana Ekadashi. The Caturmasya vrata that began on Sayana Ekadashi (July) concludes today. Vows kept through the four months bear maximum fruit on this day. The Skanda Purana states this is one of the most powerful Ekadashis of the year.
✦ Special Note
Per the Mayapur Vaishnava Calendar. This Ekadashi marks both the conclusion of Caturmasya AND begins the final 5 days of Kartika (Bhishma Pancaka). The Padma Purana lists this as the foremost Ekadashi for liberation from sin.

🪔 Aarti
Om Jai Jagdish Hare
ॐ जय जगदीश हरे, स्वामी जय जगदीश हरे । भक्त जनों के संकट, दास जनों के संकट, क्षण में दूर करे ॥ जो ध्यावे फल पावे, दुःख बिनसे मन का । सुख सम्पत्ति घर आवे, कष्ट मिटे तन का ॥ मात-पिता तुम मेरे, शरण गहूं मैं किसकी । तुम बिन और न दूजा, आस करूं मैं जिसकी ॥ तुम पूरन परमात्मा, तुम अंतर्यामी । पारब्रह्म परमेश्वर, तुम सबके स्वामी ॥ तुम करुणा के सागर, तुम पालनकर्ता । मैं सेवक तुम स्वामी, कृपा करो भर्ता ॥ तुम हो एक अगोचर, सबके प्राणपति । किस विधि मिलूं दयामय, तुमको मैं कुमति ॥ दीनबंधु दुःखहर्ता, ठाकुर तुम मेरे । अपने हाथ उठाओ, अपनी शरण में लाओ ॥ विषय विकार मिटाओ, पाप हरो देवा । श्रद्धा भक्ति बढ़ाओ, संतन की सेवा ॥
