Vaikuntha Ekadashi - The significance of Self Reflection

Namaskaram everyone - 

Wishing you all an auspicious Vaikuntha Ekadashi- the day when the Uttara Dwaram of the Lord is opened for the devotees to meet the ALL pervading Maha Viśṇu & enter Vaikuntha. 

Uttar in Hindi & Sanskrit means northern or the higher or region above( Upar)..or the higher realm. Uttar in Hindi also means answer.. a place where all qts are truly resolved. 

My dears- 

- ⁠Vaikuntha therefore actually symbolises a higher space, a space that stands for liberation or Moksha. 

Moksha from what??

Moksha from the lower levels of living like a Pashu - a Pashu is only designed to exist thru in Ahara, (food) Nidra (sleep), Bhay (fear) & Maithun (procreation). 

Moksha from doubts, conflicts, differences and all our VikArAs that limit us to live like a Pashu. 

This day of Vaikuntha Ekadashi acts as a reminder to seek that Narayana who resides within us as a possibility in the way of our higher nature and who thru his various avataras…keeps  coming back to tell us to awaken to seek our higher existence.

Vaikuntha to a true devotee of the Lord is to enter a space where Jnana( truth & wisdom), Vijnana( thinking, feeling &  behaviour based on wisdom), Sah-Astitva( realising Co-existence), Samadhan (resolution), Sambandh, Vyavashtha (orderliness) Samrudhhi (abundance), Abhay ( fearlessness) & Ubhay Trupti( eternal Trupti) are realised as values that drive and express in one’s life and living. 

This is the true significance of this extra-ordinary day & the opening of the Uttara Dwaram of the Lord. 

All energies in nature today are aligned to awaken this possibility in us.
