He was a pure soul who feared God and engaged in almost all sorts of charity work. The king lived peacefully and was happily married. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">He also had five sons: Suman, Sadbuddhi, Medhavi, Sukriti, and Drishthabuddhi.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">However, his eldest son, Drishthabuddhi, was quite different from Dhanpal. He was reckless, impolite, and undisciplined. Seeing this nature of his son, Dhanpal was very concerned for his son\u2019s future. He tried everything he could to bring his son on the right track. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Part 2 &#8211; Drishthabuddhi met Guru Kaundinya<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Despite numerous attempts, Dhanpal failed and thought of finally disowning his son.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">However, after the son was disowned, he started stealing and looting. His actions troubled the village, and the villagers threw him into the forest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">While in the forest, Drishthabuddhi met a spiritual Guru named Kaundinya. He was influenced by him and confessed all his sins before the Guru. The Guru advised him to observe a fast on Mohini Ekadashi to banish his sins. To remove his sins and purify his soul, Dhanpal\u2019s son kept the fast successfully and got rid of his sins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Also, read more about all the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/instaastro.com\/festivals\/ekadashi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Ekadashi in 2026<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>2.

During the Samundra months, Devas and Asuras fought over who would consume the Amrit.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Seeing the dire conditions of the fight, all the Devas went to Lord Vishnu and asked for his help. Upon hearing the Devas&#8217; concern, Lord Vishnu took the form of Mohini. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">He lured all the Asuras towards him, diverting their minds from the Amrit.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">While the Asuras lustred over Mohini, the Devas took the Amrit. This is the significance of Mohini Ekadashi and why it is celebrated.
