Yogini Ekadashi 2025 will be observed on Saturday, June 21. It is a very important day in the Sanatangyan tradition. This special day happens during the Krishna Paksha (the dark half) of the Ashadha month in North India, and during the Jyaishta month in South India. Yogini Ekadashi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, who is known as the preserver of the universe. Recognized for its immense spiritual power, Yogini Ekadashi holds deep importance in guiding one toward moksha (liberation) and cleansing karmic debts.

Yogini Ekadashi Date and Time

Here are the detailed timings for Yogini Ekadashi 2025:

Ekadashi Tithi Begins: 07:18 AM on June 21, 2025
Ekadashi Tithi Ends: 04:27 AM on June 22, 2025

What Is Yogini Ekadashi?

In the sacred Sanatangyan texts, Yogini Ekadashi is called a very special and rewarding fast dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It happens between two other important fasts, Nirjala Ekadashi and Devshayani Ekadashi. People all over India celebrate this day with great respect and devotion. It is believed that observing this fast not only removes all sins but also brings divine grace from Lord Vishnu across all three realms—Swarg Lok (Heaven), Mrityu Lok (Earth), and Patal Lok (Netherworld).

Benefits of Yogini Ekadashi

According to Sanatangyan, the spiritual merits of observing Yogini Ekadashi are profound:

It destroys all sins committed knowingly or unknowingly.
Devotees attain inner peace and are granted divine blessings.
It offers the same merit as feeding 88,000 Brahmins.
The vrat cleanses the body, mind, and soul. It helps create a stronger connection with the divine.

The fast is believed to help the soul reach Swarg Lok, which is heaven. It also helps the soul to finally achieve liberation.

Yogini Ekadashi Fasting Rules

Following the correct Yogini Ekadashi fasting rules ensures the spiritual power of the vrat is fully realized:

The fast begins at sunrise on Ekadashi and ends on Dwadashi.
Devotees may opt for a nirjala vrat (no water) or phalahar vrat (fruit and milk-based), based on their physical ability.
You should avoid eating grains, beans, onions, garlic, and some spices.
Spend the day chanting Vishnu mantras. Read the Vishnu Sahasranama. Offer prayers and bhog, which is sacred food, to Lord Vishnu.

Parana Vidhi for Ekadashi

Breaking the fast is an important ritual. It should be done following the right Parana Vidhi (fast-breaking procedure).

The fast should be broken on Dwadashi Tithi, which is the day after Ekadashi. It must be done after sunrise and only after the Hari Vasara period has ended.

The ideal time for Parana is Pratahkal (early morning). If not possible, it should be done during Madhyahna (midday).

Performing charity and offering food to Brahmins before Parana is highly recommended as per Sanatangyan scriptures.

Yogini Ekadashi and the Sanatangyan Path

Yogini Ekadashi is more than a fast—it’s a journey into the heart of Sanatangyan dharma. With devotion, discipline, and purity, people experience spiritual growth. In today’s busy world, this fast gives a chance to slow down, think deeply, and connect again with the divine energy that supports life.
