Festivals and vrats like Aja Ekadashi are more than religious dates on the calendar—they are reminders of timeless values like faith, discipline, and compassion. Observed in the Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada month, Aja Ekadashi is believed to wash away past sins and bring peace, prosperity, and spiritual liberation.
But how do we ensure that these stories and rituals stay alive for the next generation? At Modi Toys, we make it easier for families to blend devotion with play through spiritual plush toys and books that help children learn about festivals like Aja Ekadashi in a fun, engaging way.
1. The Significance of Aja Ekadashi
-
According to tradition, fasting on Aja Ekadashi can free devotees from negative karmas.
-
The vrat is closely tied to the story of King Harishchandra, who regained his kingdom and peace of mind through sincere devotion.
-
The day is dedicated to Lord Vishnu—making it a time for bhakti (devotion), storytelling, and family bonding.
Modi Toys Connection: Imagine narrating the story of Aja Ekadashi to your child while they cuddle our Mantra-Singing Bal Gopal Krishna Plush. It’s a beautiful way to combine spirituality and playtime.
2. Rituals of Aja Ekadashi
-
Fasting: Devotees abstain from grains and certain foods, choosing fruits, milk, or complete fasting.
-
Puja to Lord Vishnu: Families light lamps, offer Tulsi leaves, and chant Vishnu mantras.
-
Storytelling & Prayers: Reciting the Aja Ekadashi katha helps reinforce the values of truth, discipline, and devotion.
Modi Toys Tip: During puja, let your child participate with a Modi Toys plush idol of Bal Ganesha or Krishna. It gives them a hands-on way to feel involved in rituals.
3. Benefits of Observing Aja Ekadashi
