It is believed that by worshiping Lord Vishnu by keeping a fast on Param Ekadashi, a special blessing is obtained. This Ekadashi provides the ultimate rare attainments, hence it is called Param Ekadashi. Keeping the fast of Param Ekadashi removes all the troubles in life and brings happiness and prosperity.

Parama Ekadashi Story:

According to popular belief, Lord Krishna narrated the story of Parama Ekadashi to Arjuna in Mahabharata. A Brahmin named Sumedha lived with her virtuous wife Pavitra in Kampilya town. Despite being limited finance, they never shied away from serving the guests and feeding poor. However, as they became poorer, Sumedh wondered how are they going to overcome this obstacle. But his wife Pavitra had a strong belief in God and she used to say that things will change for good. So one day, Maharishi Kaudilya visited their house and as usual, the Brahmin couple served him generously.
