Dev Uthani Ekadashi: Which Date to Observe the Fast—November 1 or 2? Why Is This Ekadashi So Special?

There is some confusion among devotees about the correct date to observe the Dev Uthani Ekadashi fast this year—November 1 or 2. This Ekadashi is considered highly sacred because on this day, Lord Vishnu awakens from His yogic sleep (Yoga Nidra) and resumes the responsibility of sustaining the universe.

It is also known as Dev Prabodhini or Prabodhini Ekadashi. Let us understand the correct date, the method of पूजा (worship), and its spiritual significance so that our fast becomes fruitful and brings auspicious changes into our lives.
