Introduction to Kamika Ekadashi
There are total 26 Ekadashi in a year. Each Ekadashi has its own significance. Among them Kamika Ekadashi is one which is unique.
Shri Krishna says, Oh Yudhishthir! I am telling you the significance of each Ekadashi. Today I am narrating this Kamika Ekadashi Vrat Katha to you. Once Brahma himself had told Devarshi Narad, I am telling you the same. Naradji had asked Brahmaji that Oh Grandfather! What is the method and significance of Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha of Shravan Month which is famous by the name of “Kamika Ekadashi”, please tell us.
Significance of Kamika Ekadashi
Then Brahma told to Narad, that the significance of lighting lamps and staying awake on the night of Kamika Ekadashi (कामिका एकादशी) is so great that you cannot even imagine. Even Chitragupt could not imagine it. Those who light a lamp in the temple of God on the night of this Kamika Ekadashi, their ancestors drink nectar in heaven and those who light a lamp of ghee or oil, they go to the Sun world illuminated by a hundred crore lamps.
Who Should do This Ekadashi Fast?
- After that Lord Brahma says that, Oh Narada! If a person should observe the fast of this Kamika Ekadashi with great care as it destroys sins like “Brahma Hatya” and foeticide. A person who listens and reads the significance of the fast of Kamika Ekadashi with devotion gets freed from all sins and goes to “Vishnu Loka”.
- By worshipping “Lord Vishnu”, a man gets everything that he cannot even imagine.

Lord Vishnu is not as pleased with gems, pearls, gems and jewellery as he is with Tulsi Dal.
