On Friday, July 10, 2026, the rare Krishna Paksha Ekadashi of Nija Ashadha arrives. The Padma Purana tells the story of Hemamali — the Yaksha gardener of Bhagavan Kubera in Alaka, whose single morning of distraction with his wife Vishalakshi cost him his form, his wife, and his celestial city.

The Closing of Purushottam Maas 2026 — Adhik Amavasya and the Sealing of the Month-Long Vrat

On Monday, June 15, 2026 — a rare Somvati Amavasya — the intercalary month that bears Bhagavan Vishnu’s own name comes to its close. The Acharyas teach that a vrat is not measured by its duration but by its closing. Here are the Padma Purana’s instructions for sealing the month-long Purushottam Maas vrat: the morning snan, the closing puja with the Vishnu Sahasranama, the day of dana, the Somvati Amavasya gift, and the final sarva-arpana — the offering of all merit at the feet of the Lord.
