2026 - Ekadashi

🕉️ What is Ekadashi?

Ekadashi is a special day in Hinduism that happens twice every month. The word “Ekadashi” means the 11th day of the moon.

On this day, we fast or eat simple food and think about Lord Vishnu, who protects the world.

❓ Why Do We Celebrate Ekadashi?

We celebrate Ekadashi to:

• Clean our mind and stay calm
• Control our desires (like not being too greedy or angry)
• Become more kind and good
• Show love and devotion to Lord Vishnu

Think of it like a monthly reset button for your mind and body!

🙏 How to Observe Ekadashi (Kids Version)

• Avoid grains like rice, wheat, and bread
• Eat simple fruits, milk, and nuts
• Pray or sing bhajans for Lord Vishnu
• Be kind, helpful, and calm

💡 Lesson from Ekadashi
