पुत्रदा एकादशी

vrat aur vidhi

shravan mas ke shukl paksh ki ekadashi ko 'putrada' ekadashi kaha jata hai. is din vrat rahakar bhagavan vishnu ka poojan karana chahie. usake bad vedapathi brahmanoan ko bhojan karakar, dakshina dekar unaka arshivad prapt karana chahie. sara din bhagavan ka bhajan, kirtan kar, ratri mean bhagavan ki moorti ke samip hi shayan karana chahie. bhaktipoorvak is vrat ko karane se sabhi kamanaoan ki poorti hoti hai. santan ki eechchha rakhane vale niahsantan vyakti ko is vrat ko karane se putr ratn ki prapti hoti hai. atah santan prapti ki eechchha rakhane valoan ko is vrat ko shraddhapoorvak avashy hi karana chahie.

prachin kal mean mahishmati nagari mean mahijit namak ek dharmatma raja rajy karata tha. vah atyant shaantipriy, jnani, aur dani tha. sab prakar ka sukh- vaibhav hone par bhi raja santan n hone se atyant dukhi tha.

ek din raja ne apane rajy ke sabhi rrishi-muniyoan, sannyasiyoan aur vidvanoan ko bulakar santan prapti ka upay poochha. un rrishiyoan mean param jnani lomesh rrishi ne kaha- 'rajan ! apane pichhale janm mean shravan mas ki ekadashi ko apane talab se jal piti huee gay ko hata diya tha. usi ke shap se tum santan vanchit ho. yadi tum apani patni sahit pootrada ekadashi ko bhagavan janardan ka bhaktipoorvak poojan- archan aur vrat karo to tumhara shap door hokar avashy hi putr prapt hoga.'

rrishi ki ajnanusar raja ne aisa hi kiya. usane apani patni sahit putrada ekadashi ka vrat kiya. is vrat ke prabhav se rani ne ek suandar shishu ko janm diya. putraprapti se raja bahut prasann hue aur phir vah hamesha hi is vrat ko karane lage. tabhi se yah vrat lok prachalit ho gaya.
