When Is Yogini Ekadashi 2025? Here's the Correct Date and Parana Time

Yogini Ekadasi, observed during Krishna Paksha in the month of Ashadha, is known for its powerful ability to destroy sins and diseases. It is believed that if one observes a fast on Ekadashi with full devotion, it helps dispel life's troubles and absolves one of sins. Observing Yogini Ekadashi is said to earn the same spiritual merit as feeding 88,000 Brahmins.

There are 24 Ekadashis observed throughout the year, occurring twice a month, once during Shukla Paksha and once during the Krishna Paksha phases of the moon. According to ISKCON Vrindavan, "This Ekadashi is glorified in the Padma Purana, where the Lord tells Yudhishthira that observing Yogini Ekadasi liberates one from suffering and leads to union with the Supreme."

On Yogini Ekadashi, devotees worship Lord Vishnu to get his blessings.

Yogini Ekadashi DateAccording to the Panchang, the Ekadashi tithi of Ashadha Krishna Paksha begins at 7:18 AM on 21st June and ends at 4:27 AM on 22nd June. As per the tradition of observing the fast based on Udaya Tithi, Yogini Ekadashi will be observed on Saturday, 21st June 2025.

The fast should be broken on 22nd June, between 1:47 PM and 4:35 PM. This time window is considered highly auspicious for completing the fast.

The observance of the fast begins from the evening of Dashami (the 10th lunar day), the day before Ekadashi. On this evening, devotees refrain from eating wheat, green gram (moong), and barley. Salt is also avoided at night.

On the morning of Ekadashi, after a ritual bath, the devotee takes a vow to fast and wears clean clothes. The worship of Lord Vishnu includes placing a water-filled copper or brass pot (Kalash), applying a tilak, using Akshat, performing Aarti, and offering prasad. Including Tulsi in the offerings is considered especially auspicious.
