Significance Of Kamika Ekadashi

Once upon a time, Yudhishthir put his desire forward to know about Shravan Ekadashi from Shri Krishna. Then Shri Krishna told him that it is known as Kamika Ekadashi, and people who observe this fast get salvation from all his sins. The person who observes the fast of Kamika Ekadashi gets the virtue of bathing in the holy water.

Another engrossing story depicts the magnificence of Kamika Ekadashi. A landlord once fought with the Brahmin and fortuitously killed him. Later, he approached a sage to get rid of the sin that he had acquired by killing a Brahmin. The sage advised him to keep a fast and worship Lord Vishnu on Kamika Ekadashi. That night, Lord appeared in his dream and relieved him of his sins.
