Paush Putrada Ekadashi 2025: Vrat Katha

Lord Krishna shared the story of Putrada Ekadashi with King Yudhishthar. The tale revolves
around King Suketuman, who ruled Bhadravati with kindness and justice. Despite his good
deeds, the king was anxious about not having a son to inherit his kingdom. He believed that
without a son, he would not find happiness in life or the afterlife.
Seeking solace, King Suketuman wandered into the woods and met a group of sages by a lake.
He shared his concerns with them, and they advised him to fast on Paush Shukla paksha
Ekadashi and pray to Lord Vishnu for a son. The king followed their instructions with devotion
and faith.
As a result of his fasting and prayers, King Suketuman's queen became pregnant, and they were
blessed with a male child nine months later. The kingdom rejoiced at the birth of the prince and
the king's worries were alleviated. Since then, couples have observed the fast of Pausha Putrada
Ekadashi to pray for children, especially sons.

Ekadashi. Observing this fast brings prosperity, wisdom, and wealth. Those who read or listen to
