Devuthani Ekadashi is considered very auspicious. It is known by the names Prabodhini Ekadashi, Devutthan Ekadashi etc. Lord Vishnu is worshiped on this day. This year this Ekadashi will be celebrated on 12th November. On this holy day, Lord Vishnu wakes up after a long sleep of four months and takes over the whole world again. It is a day full of devotion, fasting and rituals. According to beliefs, on this day (Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2024) people do maximum worship and charity, so let us know why Shri Hari  goes into Yog Nidra (Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2024 Katha) for 4 months?

Lord Vishnu goes into Yoga Nidra for this promise (Lord Vishnu Yogic Sleep)

There are many stories about Shri Hari going into Yog Nidra, which have their own importance (Dev Uthani Ekadashi Interesting Story). Today we will mention one of these. Once when Shri Hari reached Earth in the Vamana avatar to test King Bali, he asked for only three steps of land from King Bali, which the king accepted, but he measured the sky and the earth in just two steps, then King Bali asked to keep the third step on his head, seeing his devotion, Narayan was very pleased and he asked the king to ask for a boon of his choice.

On this, King Bali prayed to Lord Hari that 'he should live with him in the netherworld.' Fulfilling his wish, Narayan started living with King Bali in the netherworld. Seeing this, Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, considered King Bali as her brother and tied a Rakhi to him and asked him to free him from this difficult situation.

Lord Vishnu found the solution

Then Lord Vishnu solved the problem by saying that 'he will remain in the netherworld for 4 months i.e. from Harisayan Ekadashi to Kartik Ekadashi (Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2024), due to which his promise will be fulfilled and the world will continue to function properly.'

Lord Shiva controls the universe

After Lord Vishnu goes into Yog Nidra, Lord Shiva manages the universe for 4 months. After this, when Shri Hari wakes up on Devuthani Ekadashi, then the God of Gods, Mahadev hands over his responsibilities to him again. It is said that during these 4 months, the entire responsibility of the world rests on the Shiva family.
