Pavitropana Ekadashi Fast

Legend

In a prosperous kingdom, a wise king ruled. All his servants and people were pleased with him. Only one trouble worried him – he had no son.The king gathered his advisors and in despair asked them to help him understand why he did not have a son, as he had lived a righteous and just life without committing sins.The advisors, seeing their king’s grief, set out to travel and ask every wise man they met for help in solving this problem. But only one sacred sage, who saw the past, present, and future, dared to help them. He began to meditate and saw that in a past life the king had committed a great sin. And that is why in this life he could not have sons.Then the advisors asked him how their king could be freed from this sin. To which the sage told them about the glory of Pavitropana Ekadashi. And soon after the king, his relatives, and all his subjects observed this fast, the queen became pregnant and gave birth to a son.
