Paush Putrada Ekadashi 2025: Date, Rituals, Benefits & Everything to Know

We all know that Ekadashi fasts are believed to be amongst the supremely powerful and sacred spiritual observances in Hinduism. It is the time to express our devotion to Bhagwan Vishnu and Lakshmi Devi. However, Paush Putrada Ekadashi is the last Ekadashi that lies in this year’s calendar. Its special significance lies in the fact that it is observed to attain blessings for our children, to ensure growth of our family and manifest some positive changes in life. In this article, we will explore this Ekadashi’s spiritual importance, dates, rites and the positives outcomes that it gifts us.

According to the Hindu calendar, Ekadashi of the waxing phase of the moon or Shukla Paksha in the month of Paush is termed as Putrada Ekadashi. Religious leaders point out that the auspiciousness of this Ekadashi is supreme and second to none.

According to Hindu religious tradition, Paush Putrada Ekadashi is very beneficial for parents seeking physically and mentally healthy offsprings. It is believed that observing fast with complete devotion to Lord Vishnu on this day will help couples to achieve blessings in the form of good children. Hence, this Ekadashi is particularly important for those facing problems concerning children or childbirth.

Furthermore, fasting during this sacred period will also strengthen familial bonds and create positive transformation in our lives. Lord Vishnu’s blessings can lead to a truly fulfilling life and can gift us great spiritual growth. Indeed, parents who already have children also observe fast during this time so as to ensure that their children get gifted with a bright future and also for the attainment of good health, wisdom and long life for their loved ones.

As said earlier, we should never forget that this Ekadashi is the last one in 2025. Therefore, take extra care to follow all the religious rituals and observances during this period. Hindu Panchang says that Ekadashi tithi of the Shukla paksha (on the month of Paush) will start on 30th December 2025. The exact beginning time is 7:50 am. The ending time is at 5 am (31st December 2025).

Devotion and faith are two key aspects to which we must hold on to. We should wake up early on 30th December. Then take a holy bath and sit calmly in front of Lord Vishnu’s idol with a lamp or diyas. During Brahma Muhurta immerse yourself entirely in devotion and thoughts related to Lord Vishnu and take a vow.

For your vow to become a reality, following a sattvic lifestyle throughout the day is an absolute necessity. Avoid negativity, lies and company with ill-tempered individuals.

Secondly, if possible, observe fast by consuming just water. Otherwise make sure that you follow a fruit-based fast. The diving timing for breaking the fast (Prana) is from 1:26 pm - 3:31 pm on December 31. Don’t forget to offer food to Bhagwan Vishnu before you sit down to eat. Through these actions, you are communicating your selfless devotion to the Lord.

Hindu religious teachings point out that Lord Vishnu’s blessings can provide us with spiritual growth, protection, health, prosperity and wealth. Don’t miss the last opportunity in this year to express your complete devotion to Bhagwan. With discipline and strong faith, observe the fast and you will begin to experience your life changing.
