Parivartini Ekadashi, also referred to as Parsava Ekadashi, Vamana Ekadashi, Jaljhilini Ekadashi, and Jayanti Ekadashi is observed on the Eleventh day of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapad month. On this day, Lord Vishnu, who is in a state of Yogic sleep (Yoga Nidra), changes his posture.
Parivartini Ekadashi vrat will be marked on Saturday, August 29. According to drikpanchang, the Parivartini Ekadashi tithi commences at 8:38 AM on August 28 and ends at 8:17 AM on August 29, 2020. As the Hindu religion celebrates the tithi will fall after the sunrise, the Ekadashi fast will be observed on August 29.
By observing the Parivartini Ekadashi, it is beleived that the devotees will be granted forgiveness for all the committed sins. Parivartini Ekadashi has been observed since ancient times, and it bestows the observer with happiness, wealth, and health. It relieves the sins and also liberates the devotees from the cycle of birth and death. Devotees benefit spiritual gains which help them to strengthen their willpower. Parsva Ekadashi is superior to the other Ekadashi observances as it falls during the ‘Chaturmas’ period. The significance of Parsva Ekadashi is explained in the ‘Brahma Vivarta Purana’ as a conversation between Lord Krishna and King Yudhisthira.
