Parivartani Ekadashi is also known as Vamana Ekadashi, Padma Ekadashi and Jayanti Ekadashi. Once upon a time, Yudhishthira Maharaj asked Lord Krishna that by what name is Lord Bhadra Pad Shukla Ekadashi known.
Please tell the method of this Ekadashi fast and its great grace, then Lord Shri Krishna said that O Yudhishthira, this Ekadashi is known as Padma Ekadashi, Vamana Ekadashi, Jayanti Ekadashi and parivartani Ekadashi.
By performing this yajna, the fruit of the Vajpeya Yagya is obtained, there is no other way than this to destroy the sins of sinners. Those who worship my Vamana form on this day, they get salvation, so to get salvation, they must do this Ekadashi.
The person who observes the fast of Bhadrapad Shukla Ekadashi, worships all the three worlds Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, therefore, Ekadashi fast must be observed. On this day God takes his turn, hence this Ekadashi is also called parivartani Ekadashi.
Hearing the words of Shri Krishna, Yudhishthira said that Lord, I am having a lot of doubt that how you sleep and take your side, and how you tied King Bali, and what pastimes did you do by keeping the form of Vamana.
What is the method of fasting on Chaturmas,
And what is the duty of a human being when you sleep, you tell it in detail. Shri Krishna started saying that now listen to the story that destroys all sins. There was a demon named Bali in Treta Yuga, he was my supreme devotee. He used to worship me with various types of Vedas, Shuktas, and used to worship Brahmins and perform Yajnas regularly.
But due to the hatred of Indra, that demon conquered Indra Lok and all the gods, due to this all the gods gathered together and went to God after thinking and all the gods including Indra bowed down at the feet of God and praised God by chanting mantras. started doing.
So I took the fifth incarnation in the form of Vamana and conquered King Bali with my very splendid form.
Hearing this, King Yudhishthira asked the Lord that how did you conquer that great monster by taking the form of Vamana. Shri Krishna ji started saying that I took the form of Vamana and requested King Bali for three steps of land and said that these three steps of land are like three worlds for me, you will have to give this land to me.
Considering this as a frivolous request, King Bali resolved to give me three steps of land, then I measured the earth with one step, the heaven from the other, and then holding King Bali's hand asked the king that, O king, I have taken the earth from one step to the other. Measured from heaven, where should I place my third step, then Bali bowed his head and then I put my foot on his head, so that my devotee went to Hades.
Seeing his devotion and humility in this way, I told him that I will always be near you, O king. At the behest of Virochan's son Bali, my idol was installed at Bali's ashram on the day of Bhadrapad Shukla Ekadashi, similarly the second idol was placed on the head of Shesh Nag in Kshir Sagar.
O king, Lord Vishnu takes his turn while sleeping on this Ekadashi, therefore Lord Vishnu, the lord of the three worlds, is worshiped on that day. One must donate copper, silver, rice etc. on this day. If possible, Jagran should also be done on this day at night. Therefore, whoever observes this Ekadashi fasting methodically, they are freed from all sins. Those who read or listen to this story, they get the result of thousand Ashwamedha Yagya.
On Ekadasi day, chant the Hare Krishna mahamantra as much as possible, listen to the beautiful pastimes of the Lord, do kirtans, and read scriptures like the Srimad Bhagavadgita and the Srimad Bhagavatam.
