Rama Ekadashi Brata | World Freedom Day

Rama Ekadashi Vrat
Kartik Krishna Ekadashi or Rambha Ekadashi or Rama Ekadashi is the Ekadashi of Krishna paksha in the month of Kartik, this Ekadashi comes only 4 days before the Deepawali.

Meaning of the name "Rama"
Another name of Mother Lakshmi is also Rama, this is also the reason why this Ekadashi has become very important for Lord Vishnu. This Ekadashi is so important that fasting on this day yields the equivalent of 1000 Ashwameg Yajnas and 100 Rajshuya Yajnas.

Rama Ekadashi Vrat Katha
In the Mahabharata, Krishna gives an example of the devotion of Chandrabhaga to Yudhisthira, giving a great description of this Ekadashi. Chandrabhaga and his father Muchukunda and husband Shobhana are associated with this Ekadashi.

On the day of Rama Ekadashi, King Muchukunda tells everyone in the state to fast. After Chandrabhaga marries King Shobhana, Shobhana also starts fasting on this Ekadashi, but the weakening king Shobhana dies one day.

After her husband's death, Chandrabhaga moved to her father's house in Muchukunda's Kingdom. But under the influence of Rama Ekadashi Vrat, Prince Shobhana was seen on the Mandarachal mountain, this kingdom was rich in wealth and happiness like Indra Rajya. One day, a Brahmin from King Muchukunda's kingdom went on a pilgrimage and forgot the way and reached Mandarachal mountain. When he reached there, he suddenly saw Prince Shobhana. He got all the details of how Shobhana reached Mandarachal. Shobhana narrated all the incidents and told the Brahmin that he had attained such heavenly peace due to the influence of Ramakadashi's Vrat.

Due to the influence of Rama Ekadashi's Vrat and abhisekh, Chandrabhaga's body also became divinely ignited. After that, Chandrabhaga approached her beloved husband Shobhana, and said that all such unprecedented reunions were possible due to the influence of Rama Ekadashi vrat. That is why those who perform the vrat of Rama Ekadashi have been believing since time immemorial that all sins will be eradicated and prosperity will be achieved.

Best wishes

World Freedom Day


Background
World Freedom Day is celebrated in the United States on November 9 of each year. Former United States President George W. Bush has declared November 9 as World Freedom Day, marking the breaking of the wall dividing East and West Berlin in Germany and the formal end of communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe. In 2001, George W. Bush declared World Freedom Day.

Today, in the United States, one of the strongest proponents of capitalism in the world, young students and Republicans celebrate Freedom Day by organizing various events.

Former United States President Ronald Reagan, who played a key role in ending the Cold War and bringing down the Soviet Union, will also be highly acknowledged in the United States todayAlthough the United States emphasizes this day as World Independence Day, other nations around the world, especially European nations, seem reluctant to celebrate this day as World Freedom Day. Since the Cold War, there have been ideological, functional, and systemic disputes between the capitalist, communist, and some socialist countries in the world.

However, according to the idea of ​​New Globalization and New Nationalism, the inhabitants of the whole world are placed in a wide range within the philosophy of one identity and world brotherhood. Whether we belong to the communist ideology or the bourgeois ideology or any other ideology, the guarantee of freedom and the importance of living an independent life is very important in human society.

Freedom Movements in Nepal
In Nepal too, new dimensions of independence have been added in 2007, 2046, and 2063 BS respectively. Ease of living comfortably within the perimeter of freedom has been achieved and reframed from time to time. Excessive traffic jams, gas and oil lines, price hikes, corruption, and lack of rule of law are some of the problems of freedom of Nepali society that we have all faced in one way or another every day. It is hoped that the definition of Nepali independence will soon lead to a comfortable and transparent life for Nepali.

Wishing you freedom Day.
