Gyaras 2024 Calendar - Vrat Katha, Puja Vidhi & Significance

Gyaras Vrat is the divine opportunity to intensify Lord Vishnu's worship. Devotees fast on this day and ask blessings of Narayana for spiritual progress. Gyaras is the eleventh day or tithi of the lunar phase that is important to the Hindus.

Gyaras fasting can give promising results both scientifically and spiritually. According to the Hindu calendar, Gyaras occurs twice in every month (in the waxing phase and waning phase), thus the believers can observe two Gyaras Vrats in a month.

Here’s all about Gyaras Importance, Vrat vidhi, Gyaras Vrat Katha and upcoming Gyaras Vrat dates.

Ekadashi Vrat (Gyaras)

Ekadashi means eleven in the Sanskrit language(‘eka’ means one & ‘das’ means ten). The Gyaras day is considered to be important to Lord Vishnu, and the Hindus, particularly the Vaishnavas, are advised to observe a full day fast on this promising day.

Every Gyaras is an occasion for spiritual followers to enhance their pious service. According to the Vedic inscriptions, one must keep a complete fast on this day without even drinking water! Panchang shows the dates for upcoming gyaras vrat

Also, It must be a day of reduced or no worldly affairs and one who observes strict Gyaras Vrat can discard the negative impacts of planets and negative thoughts. Observing such simplicity-austerity may yield great spiritual advantages.

Gyaras Vrat Puja Vidhi

The Gyaras Vrat starts with the sunrise and concludes with the next morning-sunrise. It must be observed on a day that is not affected by the Dashami or the tenth lunar day. As per the Hindu calendar If the tenth tithi/Dashami closes 96 minutes before sunrise, then one should fast on that day.

And, when the Dashami doesn’t end 96 minutes before sunrise, then the believers should prefer the next morning to begin their Gyaras fasting.

Complete fasting on Gyaras is advised to everyone from the age of eight to eighty regardless of their age, gender, and status. Those who can’t carry such high austerity can observe Gyaras Vrat by eating one meal. However, one shouldn’t use food items, which are forbidden on Gyaras Vrat.

Gyaras Vrat Vidhi

As Gyaras Vrat begins with the sunrise, one must wake up before that and pray Lord Vishnu with a Diya, incense stick, and Tulsi leaves, etc.
Visiting a Vishnu temple and chanting Sri Vishnu Sahasranama can assist in intensifying the spiritual journey.
Reading and listening Gyaras Vrat Katha can be purifying
Eating once is permitted for those who can’t observe full-day fasting.
Eating non-veg food (meat, fish, egg, etc.), mushroom, intoxicants (tobacco and liquor), and beverages (tea, coffee, cola, and other energy drinks) must be avoided.
To end the Gyaras Vrat, one should take a bath on the next day (Dwadasi) morning, worship Lord Vishnu and read Gyaras Mata Katha
Devotees break the fast during the Parana time, which will be different for every Dwadasi.
