Kamika Ekadashi

Kamika Ekadashi Story

In ancient times, there lived a landlord in a village. Once he had a fight with a Brahmana and he killed that Brahmana out of anger and annoyance. The landlord wanted to regret by being involved in Brahmana's cremation rituals, but was denied the permission. Therefore, he was cursed with a Brahmana's killing. The landlord asked a saint if he could get rid of his bad deeds. The saint advised him to keep a fast on Kamika Ekadashi. The landlord observed a fast in the same way as he was told by the saint. At night, the landlord was sleeping besides the Lord's idol. Lord Vishnu appeared in his dream and forgave him for all his sins and bad deeds.
