Parivartini Ekadashi Vrat Katha
And It Starts With
The ancient myths revolve around the king named Bali and its cruelty. The king was a devotee of Lord Vishnu, who used to organise daily yagnas. Due to his cruelty, all the deities, along with Guru Brihaspati, approached Lord Vishnu. They bowed down to Lord Vishnu and praised him through Veda mantras. Lord Vishnu turned and opened his eyes.
Lord Vishnu's Vaman Avatar
Hearing the request of the gods, Vishnu took the form of Vamana and approached King Bali to save the gods. King Bali was performing a yagna with the sages, seeing a boy coming towards him, Bali asked his name and the reason for his coming. Then, Brahmachari Vaman requested King Bali for three steps of land and said, O king, you must give this three steps of land. King Bali said that this is very little, brahmachari, you should ask for something big or more. But the dwarf lord stood firm on his request, as a result of which King Bali agreed to give him 3 steps of land.
King Bali's Realisation
As soon as the king agreed to the three steps, Lord Vamana took a huge step covering the entire Earth and the heaven in the other step. After that, he asked Bali where to keep the third step? Then, King Bali understood that this Vamana is none other than Lord Vishnu. So, he kneeled before him and said, Lord, keep your third step on my head. Lord Vamana agreed and took his final step on his head.
Sustenance Of Universe
As a result, the king was defeated by the Lord. Lord Vamana, while measuring his steps, has established Bhuloka – in his position, Bhuvarloka in the thigh, Swargloka in the waist, Mahaloka in the stomach, Janaloka in the heart, Yamlok in the throat and Satyaloka in the mouth.
There is the idol of Lord Vishnu placed on the back of Sheshnag in Bali’s ashram. On this auspicious day, it is believed that Lord Vishnu takes his side while sleeping.
