Utpanna Ekadashi Vrat Katha

Lord Shri Krishna himself told the story of Goddess Ekadashi to Yudhishthira as well as the importance of fast on this day.

There was a powerful demon named Mura in Satyug. He had won the heaven with his power. No one was able to stop him, even Indra Deva, Vayu Deva and Agni Deva were powerless against him. So, they had to go to Purgatory (Mrityu Lok) for their lives. Later, Devraj Indra went to Kailash Parvat (mountain) and told his misery to the God. Listening to his problems, Lord Shiva told him to go to Lord Vishnu. All the deities (Devta) reaches Kshirsagar and requests Lord Vishnu to protect them from demon Mura. Shri Hari gives them assurance and they all go to the city of Mura demon (Asura) to fight him. For many years, the war goes on between Lord Vishnu and Demon Mura. While fighting, the God feels sleepy, so he go to a cave for some rest. Seeing him sleeping, Mura attacks him. But a girl borns from the body of Lord Vishnu and fights with the demon. During this fight, Mura gets unconscious, and Goddess Ekadashi severs his head from his body. When Lord Vishnu wakes up, he learns how the Goddess has saved him. Getting pleased with her, the God blesses her. He says that the person who will worship you, all his sins will be destroyed and he will attain liberation.
