Breaking the Fast of Dev Uthani Ekadashi

Method of breaking the Devuthani Ekadashi fast
On the Dwadashi date, after bathing in the morning, one should clean the house and the temple. After this, one should offer prayers to the Sun God. Then, worship Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi as per the prescribed rituals. Recite the Vishnu Chalisa and offer sattvik food. Be sure to add a Tulsi leaf to the offering. After this, distribute the Prasad among people and consume it yourself.
These things should be kept in mind:
- On Ekadashi, one should not eat rice even by mistake.
- One should not argue with anyone.
- One should also not wear black clothes.
- One should not think negatively about anyone.
- One should also ensure the cleanliness of the house and the temple.
These things should be donated.
If you also want to receive the blessings of Lord Vishnu, you should perform a morning prayer on Devuthani Ekadashi. Afterwards, donate food, money, and yellow items to temples or to people experiencing poverty. According to beliefs, donating these items on Ekadashi may lead to financial gain.
