The Night Lord Vishnu Goes to Sleep ! Devshayani Ekadashi.
🌙
"Once every year… the cosmos slows down.
Because today… is Devshayani Ekadashi — the night when even the gods rest.
Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, who sustains the balance of life, enters a deep yogic sleep — Yoganidra — atop the ocean of milk, the Ksheer Sagar.
He reclines on the mighty serpent Adishesha, while Goddess Lakshmi gently serves at His feet, as time itself begins to soften.
But before He sleeps, Lord Vishnu does something extraordinary…
He hands over the reins of the universe to Mahadev — Lord Shiva.
Why?
Because while Vishnu sustains, only Shiva can hold stillness. Only the one who meditates in silence can guard the world while Vishnu dreams.
And thus begins the sacred period of Chaturmas — four holy months of divine pause.
🕉️ During these months, the devas retreat. No marriages are performed. No new ventures begin. The energy turns inward, like a river flowing back to its source.
✨ But this is not a time of nothingness…
This is the womb of transformation.
A time to reflect, fast, meditate, and reconnect with your deepest truths.
Because when the Sustainer sleeps, you are invited to become the Awakened One.
So on this Devshayani Ekadashi, dear Diva —
Fast not just from food…
But from comparison.
From overthinking.
From trying to control everything.
Rest your mind. Nourish your soul. Let your inner Lakshmi serve your inner Vishnu.
Because when He awakens on Prabodhini Ekadashi, your life will bloom in divine rhythm once again.
🌸 Until then… walk gently, live simply, and awaken the Shakti within._
