What are the benefits of fasting on Ekadashi?

Scientific Benefits of Ekadashi Fasting

It is good for one’s metabolism.

Fasting means providing rest to our organs. Like machinery requires rest after a lot of work, similarly our body organs need rest after working for long periods. It helps them to detoxify themselves. So, fasting detoxifies our body.

It eliminates fat in our bodies.

There are several more benefits of fasting such as controlling blood pressure, helping the body to be more active, controlling blood sugar levels etc.

Spiritual Benefits of Ekadashi Fasting

It is mentioned in Brahma Vaivarthapuran-

“Once when Narad muni asked, explaining the importance of Ekadashi, Lord Narayana said, O Narad! This Ekadashi fast is rare even for the gods. This is the father of love for Shri Krishna and the best penance of ascetics.

ong Just as Shri Krishna is the best among the gods, Nature among the goddesses, Brahmins are varnas and Shiva among the Vaishnavas, similarly, this Ekadashi fast is the best among the fasts.

This fast is always observed by all four castes. Yatis, Vaishnavas and especially Brahmins must observe this fast. All the sins like Brahmahatya etc. take shelter of rice on the day of Ekadashi. A dull-witted person who eats rice while committing so many sins is a very bad person in this world.”

Not only consuming rice but consuming grains, pulses, onion garlic on this day is considered sinful.

Just by observing Ekadashi fasting one can elevate themselves spiritually and can get Vaikuntha after leaving this material world.

There are several Ekadashi celebrated during the year in each Ekadashi gives several types of benefits.
