Embrace the Sacredness of Shattila Ekadashi
Shattila Ekadashi, observed during the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the month of Magha, holds profound spiritual and charitable importance in the Vaishnava tradition. Devotees observe a strict fast and engage in devotional activities such as chanting the holy names of the Lord and reading sacred scriptures. The day emphasizes self-purification and detachment from material desires, paving the way for spiritual growth. Fasting on this day is believed to cleanse sins and bring immense blessings of Lord Vishnu.

Significance of Shattila Ekadashi
The name “Shattila” derives from “til” (sesame seeds), which play a central role in the day’s rituals and offerings. Devotees perform acts of charity by donating food, clothes, and sesame seeds to the needy, symbolizing compassion and humility. Sesame is used in various forms offered in lamps, baths, and meals to invoke divine grace and purify the body and soul. The act of giving during Shattila Ekadashi represents the highest form of service and is said to ensure spiritual merit, prosperity, and liberation.
