Vaikunta Ekadasi and its Significance

Vaikunta Ekadasi is the day for seeking highest spiritual divinity that can be achieved only by transcending the material universe. (ekadasi) of waxing Moon (shukla paksha) when humans on Earth strive to win over Vishnu and get access to His abode.

Every year on this special Ekadasi day the search for heaven or Vaikunta is renewed with pure devotion to Vishnu and his different manifestations. It is an attempt to secure a place on the spiritual planets of Vaikunta loka – located far beyond Satyaloka – our Universe otherwise known as the Brahmanda.

Vaikunta loka is the world of Vishnu:
Vaikunta loka is the world of Lord Vishnu, the preserver of this world. Krishna who is an avatar of Vishnu, therefore Vaikunta loka is also called Krishna loka. Though He presides over all manifested and unmanifested energies on Earth, his abode is far beyond the Earth. Ardent devotees such as the Alwars immersed themselves in singing hymns in praise of Vishnu to achieve Vaikunta. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu also asked people to lift their hands up and dance in utter joy while chanting the name of Hari – another way to realize Krishna and achieve that eternal bliss.

Penetrating the 5 worlds to reach Vaikunta loka:
In Hindu Vedic literature, the Cosmos is divided into 14 worlds or lokas, and each loka has a religious or spiritual significance. In the text of Srimad-Bhagavatam, 5 lokas above the Bhuloka or Earth have been mentioned as Dhruvaloka, Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapaloka and Satyaloka. 26,200,000 yojanas above Satyaloka are the planets of Vaikunta. Sri Caitanya caritamrta mentions that anyone who tries to surpass planetary systems of material universe spiritually through perfection of human soul can reach Vaikunta loka.

Seeking Vaikunta through various practices:
In spiritual world there are innumerable Vaikunta planets. One who attains God or Vishnu can only enjoy a place in Vaikunta. Vedic scriptures mention that God is supreme goal of life – the ultimate truth. An acharya or devotee of Vishnu can gain his or her place in Vaikunta through devotional practices - He or she should have compassion towards human beings or any creatures of Nature, liberate them from being stuck in the material world and also sufferings of diseases and old age. The supreme knowledge can be achieved through various forms of austerities: performing sacrifices please the God and performing yoga helps in realizing God. Chanting hymns of Gods or His name and living a livelihood with His consciousness as the prime goal of life are definite ways of finally reaching the planets of Vaikunta. Fasting is one of the austerities followed strictly by devotees as a means to achieve God. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, one of the greatest disciples of Krishna reached Vaikunta chanting the name of Hari repeatedly and dancing in exaltation.

Enjoyments in the world or planets of Vaikunta:
Vaikunta is a world of bliss and knowledge. Emotions such as envy, anger, jealousy are forbidden; only happiness pervades every heart. There is abundance of happiness, knowledge and wealth. Inhabitants sing the glory of Lord and enjoy beauty of Nature but above the fragrance from flowers, and songs of birds, Lord Vishnu lives as the fragrant and beautiful being in every heart. People there laugh with open heart, love and respect each other dearly, ladies are beautiful and families reside amidst joy of Vishnu consciousness. Srimad Bhagavatam gives a vivid description of the Vaikunta loka. Reading its description is an eye opener and opens any heart that is clogged with earthly emotions and thoughts. Realizing the beautiful world of Vaikunta loka on Vaikunta Ekadasi day is an endearing practice that any devotee treasures in his or her heart.

Introduction to Ayurveda: The Wisdom of Ancient Healing.

By Ayurveda Initiative for Global Health.
Ayurveda, often called the "Science of Life," is a timeless holistic healing system that originated over 5,000 years ago in India. Rooted in the ancient Vedic tradition, Ayurveda emphasizes balancing the body, mind, and spirit to achieve optimal health and well-being.

AYURVEDA: Menstrual Health In AYURVEDA.

By Ayurveda Initiative for Global Health.
Menstruation is a vital and natural process in a woman’s life, viewed in Ayurveda as a unique mechanism of self-purification rather than impurity. This monthly cycle reflects the balance of doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and offers profound insight into overall health and vitality. Ayurveda understands the menstrual cycle as "Rutuchakra," governed by the interplay of doshas through three distinct phases that influence the quality, duration, and flow of menstruation. Maintaining menstrual health in Ayurveda focuses on supporting the digestive fire (Agni), nurturing blood and plasma tissues (Rakta and Rasa Dhatus), and ensuring the smooth, downward flow of Apana Vata that regulates menstrual discharge. Imbalances in doshas commonly manifest as menstrual irregularities, pain, heavy or scanty flow, mood swings, and other symptoms which Ayurveda treats through personalized diet, lifestyle adjustments, herbal formulations, and therapies. This introduction aims to illumin...

Devi Brahmacharini

By Ayurveda Initiative for Global Health.
*Day:2 Devi Brahmacharini* The second name of the Mother Divine is Brahmacharini. What does Brahman mean? That which has no end, no shore nor beginning; That which is omnipresent and beyond which there is nothing; It is the ultimate and all-pervading. If you close your eyes and meditate, then you will realize that when your energy rises to the peak, it becomes one with the Mother Divine; it gets soaked in the energy of the Mother Divine. The Divine is within you, and not somewhere outside. You cannot say, “I know it”, because it is infinite. The moment you know it, it becomes finite. Nor can you say “I do not know it”, because it is definitely there. How can you not know? Can you say “I do not know my own hand”? Your hand is right there. It is there hence you know It, and It is infinite so you do not know It. Both of these realizations go hand in hand. Are you confused enough? If someone asks you, “Do you know the Mother Divine”, you can only keep quiet, because if you say, “I do not k...

Ayurveda and Women's Health: Menopausal Balance.

By Ayurveda Initiative for Global Health.
Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life marked by the end of menstrual cycles and significant hormonal changes. Ayurveda regards menopause as an important transition requiring special care to balance the body's energies (doshas), especially Vata and Pitta dosha, which often become aggravated during this stage. Ayurvedic treatments focus on restoring harmony through herbal remedies, diet, lifestyle modifications, and detox therapies. Herbs like Shatavari, Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Guduchi support hormonal balance, reduce hot flashes, improve sleep, and ease mood swings. Panchakarma therapies like Nasya and Basti help detoxify and calm the nervous system, providing relief from menopausal symptoms. In addition to herbal and therapeutic interventions, Ayurveda emphasizes mental wellbeing through practices such as meditation, yoga, and stress management, encouraging a holistic approach to menopausal health. For personalized diagnosis and treatment plans that consider y...
