Prahlad on Staying Awake During Ekadasi / More


Prahlada says, “Wherever there is a person remaining awake overnight on Ekadashi, which is very dear to Sri Vishnu, all the demigods, including Brahma, Indra and Siva, are all available there. And where there is such a wake going on, all of the great sages, headed by Narada Muni and Vyasadeva, are available there and I (Prahlada Maharaja) who am always engaged in worshiping Lord Shri Hari, am also available there.”
