Importance of Mukkoti Ekadasi

Mukkoti Ekadasi and Uttara Dwara Dharshan



Mukkoti Ekadasi
On the day of Mukkoti, Lord Sri Maha Vishnu will wake up from yoga sleep. On that particular day, he will be shown to all from the north point. If we see him from the north gate then it is believed that we get punyam. People believe that if we visit him first on this auspicious day and have a wish in our heart then they get fulfilled. If we visit him through the north gate on this day leaving all our worries and work, along with Lord Vishnu we also get blessed with mukkoti devatas.


Mukkoti Ekadasi Rituals:
  • One should wake up early and complete ablutions.
  • Try to observe strict fasting without eating and drinking even water.
  • For people who are weak, old or cannot afford to maintain strict fasting can have fruits and milk.
  • Special prayers like chanting lord Vishnu slokas, Vishnu sahasranamam should be done.
  • One should spend his day by listening to songs, doing bhajans and singing and praising Lord Vishnu.
  • As said above, one should visit Lord Vishnu temple, if there is no such temple at least visit any form of Lord Vishnu Ex: Lord Rama, Krishna, etc.
  • One who follows all these rituals will never see Yama Raja, they will visit directly Vaikunta (a place where there is no word of sorrow)

Importance of Vaastu Shastra:


Vaastu shastra is an ancient architecture knowledge originated in India. It is the science of construction used in alignment of structures, it’s been used traditionally while construction of temples and villages.

According to Vedas, Maamuni Mayan and Vishwakarma are well known architects from ancient period. It’s been said that this knowledge is been transferred before Ramayana. While Lord Rama went to forest obeying his father’s orders, they constructed ‘parnasala’ to live in the forest. Before their entrance it’s said that they did vaastu puja and entered the parnasala.

Vaastu sastras is designed in such a way that cosmic energy and other forces will help in leading healthy and peaceful lives. While constructing, it’s mathematically calculated keeping in mind of five elements (earth, water, fire, space and air).

Why do we Chant Arjuna Phalguna on Thunder Storm | 10 Names of Arjun

Arjuna Phalguna: Thunderstorm occurs naturally; our ancestors say not to stay under a tree when there is a thunderstorm. If we observe storms occur mostly over trees. Also now a day we have learned that we should not be even below telephone poles or electric poles. Scientists say that there may be a slight discharge of electricity from them which is not safe to humans. Also many suggest that instead of standing on the ground sleeping is good, even if you are struck from storm sleeping position helps to lower the risk as storm energy is absorbed by earth (as earth acts as a neutral body) From our childhood, whenever there is a thunderstorm our parents utter the word “ Arjuna Phalguna ”, there is a small story from Mahabharat epic behind uttering those words. When Pandavas are returning from the forest, Arjuna brings Uttara to Sami tree for weapons. In order to rescue cows stolen from Duryodhana and Karna, Arjuna says to bring down weapons from the tree. During that period o...
