Annada Ekadashi Fast

Legend

In ancient times there lived a great king. He was very pious and noble. But by the will of fate he lost his kingdom, and he also had to sell his wife and son. And he himself became a servant of a fallen animal abuser, who sent him to work in a crematorium undressing the dead people.But, despite his low position, in his soul he was still as noble. Several years passed, one day, reflecting on his situation and asking himself what to do next, he saw a holy sage passing by.The emperor approached him and told his sad story. The sage listened attentively and in response told about the glory of Annada Ekadashi. And after the emperor finished observing this fast, he was freed from all his sins, regained his kingdom and reunited with his family.
