Putrada Ekadashi come twice a year. Once in Pausha Month and another in Shravan Month as per Sanatan Religion’s Calendar. As per “Bhavishya Purana(भविष्य पुराण)” reveals the tale of Putrada Ekadashi’s Mahatmya as told by the Lord Krishna to the king Yudhishthira.
Lord Krishna shared the importance as well as significance of all the Ekadashis with Dharma Raj Yudhisthira. While each Ekadashi is prescribed for the certain goals, like so this Ekadashi tithi alos have the goal for having sons. Let’s come to know about the importance of Shravan Putrada Ekadashi.
Shravan Putrada Ekadashi Vrat Katha(श्रावण पुत्रदा एकादशी व्रत कथा)
Lord Sri Krishna said, Oh! King Yudhishthira you are very anxious to listen about the Mahatmya of Shravan Putrada Ekadashi Vrat. Please listen.
Once, the king of Bhadravati Nagari (भद्रावती नगरी), “Suketuman” and his queen “Shabya” were grieved by the absence of progeny. The couple as well as their dead ancestors were worried that without somebody to offer shraddha, they will not be at peace and will become lost souls after death.
They were very frustrated, then the king left his kingdom and went to the forest unbeknownst to everyone. After wandering the forest for days, Suketuman reached the ashram of some sages on the bank of Lake Manasarovar on the day of Putrada Ekadashi.
The sages revealed that they were the ten divines “Vishva Devas”. They asked to the king, what is the reason to coming up here? Rajan shared his worried with the sages and told I don’t have a child who can increase my generation after me.
Then, sages advised the king, to worship this Shravan Putrada Ekadashi fast quietly to attain a son. After that, the king complied everything about the fast and returned to the kingdom. He started worship lord Vishnu and keep fasting on Putrada Ekadashi Vrat. After few days, soon, the king was blessed by a son, who grew up to become a heroic king.
Importance of Putrada Ekadashi
Putrada Ekadashi Vrat is done if anyone not having any male child. Because son is considered entirely important in Sanatan Religion who is takes care of the parents in their old age in life and by offering shraddha ensures well-being of his parents in the after-life.
