🪔 About Papankusha Ekadashi

On this day, Lord Vishnu is worshipped as Padmanabh, the one with the lotus navel. He rests on the divine serpent, Ananta Shesha, in the cosmic ocean, Kshirsagar.

This auspicious day is perfect to begin a sadhana dedicated to three divine forms—Lord Vishnu, Lord Ram, and Lord Krishna. Surrender your negative thoughts, words, and deeds at Sri Hari's divine feet.

Watch your life blossom like a lotus rising above the muddy waters of the mind.
