Remedies for the joy of parenthood on Putrada Ekadashi

- Worshipping Lord Vishnu holds special importance on Putrada Ekadashi; it is believed that performing this worship with the prescribed rituals leads to the blessing of having children. On this day, worship the idol of Lord Vishnu by offering a conch shell, Tulsi leaves, and a sandalwood paste (chandan).

- On Putrada Ekadashi, offer water to the roots of a Peepal tree in the morning and light a lamp. Afterward, circumambulate the Peepal tree while chanting the mantra "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya" 108 times. This helps remove obstacles related to progeny.

- To ensure the well-being and happiness of children, donate yellow sweets, turmeric, split Bengal gram (chana dal), or bananas to a Brahmin or a needy person on Putrada Ekadashi. This enhances the child's happiness and good fortune and helps alleviate their suffering.

- Chanting mantras dedicated to Lord Vishnu is highly recommended on Putrada Ekadashi to seek the blessing of children. Chant the mantra: "Om Devakisuta Govinda Vasudeva Jagatpate | Dehi Me Tanayam Krishna Tvamaham Sharanam Gatah ||" Chanting this mantra is considered a highly effective remedy for those wishing to have children.

- On the evening of Putrada Ekadashi, light a lamp filled with sesame oil beneath a Banyan tree and recite the Vishnu Chalisa. This practice is extremely fruitful for ensuring the longevity and protection of one's children.
