Ekadashi (the eleventh day of each lunar fortnight) and related vratas are especially auspicious in the Madhwa sampradaya. Many devotees observe fasting, extra japa, and temple sevas on these days to deepen discipline and receive the Lord’s grace.
Why Ekadashi matters
Traditionally, Ekadashi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Observing the day with sattvic conduct-simple food or upavasa according to your health and acharya guidance-helps quiet the mind and turn attention toward nama and seva.
Sevas that fit festival seasons
During Kartika, special deepa and tulasi sevas are especially meaningful. You can book archane, abhisheka, nanda deepa, and prasada-delivered sevas year-round from our mandira in Chintamani.
