So, let&#8217;s read through the story and see how people started performing the Apara Ekadashi 2026.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>1. Apara Ekadashi Story<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">According to Hindu mythology, a famous religious King named Mahidwaj was very religious and always followed the path of spirituality. However, on the other side, his younger brother, Vajra Dhwaj, always had feelings of hate and jealousy towards him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Because of this anger and hatred, Vajra Dhwaj murdered Mahidwaj and hid his body under a peepal tree. Due to his unnatural death, Mahidwaj was not able to attain peace and became a restless spirit, which used to haunt everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">One day, a sage passing by sensed the presence of the troubled spirit. Using his divine powers, the sage learned about Mahidwaj\u2019s tragic fate and the reason behind his restless state. The sage decided to help Mahidwaj attain peace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">How did Mahidwaj attain peace?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">He freed the spirit of Mahidwaj from the tree and led him towards liberation. Also, to ensure that Mahidwaj&#8217;s soul could find peace, the sage instructed him to observe a fast on Apara Ekadashi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">With the powerful impact of the Apara Ekadashi Vrat and the blessings of Lord Vishnu, Mahidwaj\u2019s spirit was freed and attained peace. Since then, devotees have observed the Apara Ekadashi fast to do good karma and progress on their path to peace, inspired by the story of King Mahidwaj.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Also, read more about all the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/instaastro.com\/festivals\/ekadashi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ekadashi in 2026<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>2.
