Parama Ekadashi 2026 — The Other Rare Ekadashi of Purushottam Maas, and the Poor Brahmin Who Kept It

Two weeks ago, Vaishnavas across Bharata kept Padmini Ekadashi — the rare Shukla Paksha Ekadashi of Adhik Maas. Padmini has a twin. On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the Krishna Paksha Ekadashi of the same intercalary month appears: Parama — the Supreme Ekadashi. The Padma Purana names it the rarer and more secret of the two, and reserves it for those whose poverty or sorrow has refused to lift in spite of every other vrat already kept. The story of Sumedha and Pavitra of Kampilya, the rishi Kaundinya, the prince sent by Bhagavan Brahma — and the vidhi for the day.

Purushottam Maas — The Month No Deity Would Claim, and the Lord Who Made It Supreme

Every month of the Hindu calendar has a lord — except the rare thirteenth, the Adhika Maas, born an orphan and shunned as the “impure month.” The Puranas tell how this rejected month went in grief to Bhagavan Vishnu, who claimed it, gave it His own name — Purushottam — and made it the most fruitful month of all.

The Vrat Katha of Queen Padmini of Mahishmati, the lotus teaching, and why May 27, 2026 is the morning Vaishnavas across Bharata are preparing for.

Varada Chaturthi 2026 — The Rare Ganesha Day of Purushottam Maas

Once every 2.5–3 years — when the rare 13th month of Adhika Maas opens — a thirteenth Vinayaka Chaturthi appears. The Mudgala Purana calls it Varada Chaturthi, the “boon-giving” Chaturthi, and holds it as the most fruit-bearing Ganesha day of the entire calendar. Today, Wednesday May 20, 2026, is that day.
