Vaikuntha Ekadashi is not just a day; it’s a divine phenomenon that invites every being to celebrate Maha Vishnu Parandhama. It’s a day when the cosmos align to facilitate the journey towards Moksha, or liberation. The opening of the Swarga Vaasal signifies an open invitation from Lord Vishnu himself to embrace the path of righteousness and service, promising the ultimate reward of liberation and eternal bliss to those who walk it with faith and devotion.

The benefit of having Darshan of Swarga Vaasal

The darshan of the Swarga Vaasal on Vaikuntha Ekadashi is of profound spiritual significance. Just witnessing the opening of the gates can purify the soul, drawing it closer to the divine. This rare opportunity allows devotees to enter the abode of Lord Vishnu, offering prayers and receiving blessings for a life of spiritual richness and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The experience is a powerful reminder of the ultimate goal of life—union with the divine—and provides the grace and blessings necessary to move closer to this sacred union.
