The Story Behind Papmochini Ekadashi

According to the ancient scriptures, the lord Krishna narrated the story to Arjuna of Papmochini Ekadashi. Once upon a time, King Mandhata asked about the way to get rid of all sins to the great sage Lomash. The great sage narrated the historical legend behind the Papmochini Ekadashi.  The story begins with Meghawi who was the son of Rishi Chawan. He had been in religious contemplation for years. Having seen his unceasing devotion the king of deities Endra became very envious. Later on, Endra devised a plan to break his religious contemplation. Endra appointed a gorgeous woman (Apsara) to impede his meditation. Her name was Manjughosha. She left no stone unturned to instigate him from his religious path. But, he was determined and firm on his way. The King of deities Endra sent the God of Love Kamdev to help Manjughosha. The beautiful Apsara then succeded in her plan to enthrall Meghawi.

Both couples started living with each other for a long time. Meghawi left the worship of Lord Shiva under the charm and spell of Manjughosha. He deviated from the path of his religious contemplation completely. Meghawi started realizing his sin after spending years in her togetherness. He had a pang of great guilt and repentance on his wisdom and control. Meghawi gave a curse to Manjughosh to become a ghost to rest of her life in hatred. Manjughosa was mournful and worried. She showed a profuse apology to Meghawi and he took pity on her. Meghawi told her to observe a fast and worship on Papmochini Ekadashi to come out of the vicious cycle of the curse. She did accordingly and was emancipated from the curse of Meghawi due to the immense blessings of the Lord Vishnu. He himself also observed the fast on Papochini Ekadashi to get rid of all sins he did in his life. His power and effect of religious contemplation we restored due to the Vrat-Puja of Papmochini Ekadashi.

From that day, devotees started observing fast and worship on the auspicious day of Papmochini Ekadashi to get rid of their all sins of previous lives and present life.
