Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2025: When Lord Vishnu awakes and blessings begin

Dev Uthani Ekadashi, also called Prabodhini Ekadashi, is one of the most significant fasting days. It marks the moment when Lord Vishnu wakes up from his deep yogic rest of four months, called Chaturmas. Once Lord Vishnu awakens, auspicious events such as weddings, engagements, and housewarmings begin again. This day is a symbol of divine renewal and the start of positive change in life.

People across India observe this fast to seek the blessings of happiness, prosperity, and peace. Those who worship Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi with devotion on this day experience success in stalled tasks and a wave of new beginnings in their personal and spiritual life.

Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2025 Date and Shubh Muhurat

This year, Dev Uthani Ekadashi will be celebrated on Saturday, November 1, 2025, and continues till the morning of Sunday, November 2, 2025.

Ekadashi Tithi Begins: 9:11 am on November 1, 2025

Ekadashi Tithi Ends: 7:31 am on November 2, 2025

Parana (fast breaking): November 2, between 1:11 pm and 3:23 pm

Hari Vasara End Moment: 12:55 pm on November 2

Householders will observe the vrat on November 1, while Vaishnav devotees who follow the Vaishnav calendar will observe it on November 2. Both days carry spiritual merit.

The most auspicious times to perform puja and worship are during the Shubha, Labha, and Amrita Choghadiya periods throughout the day.

Morning Shubha Muhurat: 7:56 am to 9:19 am

Afternoon Labha Muhurat: 1:27 pm to 2:50 pm

Evening Amrita Muhurat: 2:50 pm to 4:13 pm

Night Labha Muhurat: 5:36 pm to 7:13 pm

Late Night Amrita Muhurat: 10:28 pm to 12:05 am (November 2)

These periods are considered highly auspicious for performing Vishnu puja, offering tulsi leaves, or observing the Dev Uthani vrat. Performing rituals during these times is said to bring long-lasting prosperity, clarity, and harmony.

The Reason Dev Uthani Ekadashi Falls on Two Days

In 2025, the Ekadashi tithi begins at 9:11 am on November 1 and ends at 7:31 am on November 2. Because the tithi extends into two sunrise periods, the fast is observed differently by different groups.

Householders will observe the fast on November 1 as the Ekadashi tithi is active after sunrise, while Vaishnav devotees will observe it on November 2 following the end of Harivasar. Both dates are correct within their respective traditions.

How to Perform Dev Uthani Ekadashi Puja at Home

Dev Uthani Ekadashi can be performed easily at home with faith and discipline.

Begin your day with a bath and wear clean clothes.
Clean your puja area and place an idol or photo of Lord Vishnu with Goddess Lakshmi.
Offer water, flowers, sandalwood paste, incense, fruits, and tulsi leaves.
Light a diya and chant mantras such as Om Jai Jagdish Hare or the Gayatri Mantra. Listen and chant along on Astrosure.ai for calmness and spiritual clarity.
Observe the fast with peace and devotion. Refrain from anger or negative speech.
Break your fast only during the official parana time on November 2 between 1:11 pm and 3:23 pm.
You can also perform Tulsi Vivah on this day as it represents the sacred union of Goddess Tulsi with Lord Vishnu, bringing purity and happiness into the home.

Significance and Benefits of Dev Uthani Ekadashi

Dev Uthani Ekadashi marks the awakening of divine consciousness in the universe. It represents progress after rest and light after pause. Observing this fast and performing Vishnu puja is said to:

Remove barriers in career, relationships, and finances
Bring peace, stability, and family harmony
Strengthen spiritual awareness and focus
Help complete delayed or pending work

It is said that when Lord Vishnu awakens, he blesses his devotees with renewed energy, mental clarity, and purpose. The day acts as a spiritual reset, washing away confusion and negativity that may have built up during the months of Chaturmas. Those who sincerely observe the vrat often experience emotional balance, inner calm, and a deep sense of gratitude. Families who worship together on this day find harmony returning to their relationships. Lighting ghee lamps and offering prayers to Goddess Lakshmi alongside Lord Vishnu invite prosperity and joy into the household.

On this day, donating food, clothes, or money is highly meritorious. Feeding cows, birds, or the needy multiplies the good karma of the vrat and strengthens one’s bond with the divine through acts of compassion.

Important Note About Bhadra and Chor Panchak

This year, Chor Panchak overlaps with Dev Uthani Ekadashi. On November 1, Bhadra will last from 8:27 pm to 6:34 am (next day), and on November 2, from 6:34 am to 7:31 am. During this time, avoid starting new ventures or major transactions, as Bhadra is considered inauspicious for fresh beginnings. Schedule your worship or ceremonies outside these hours for the best results.

Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2025 is more than a ritual. It is the day the cosmic cycle of movement and creation begins again. When Lord Vishnu opens his eyes, positivity, fortune, and divine protection return to every devotee’s life. Keep your prayers simple, your heart clear, and your intentions honest. The blessings will naturally follow.
