importance dwadasi vrata

 If one observes dvadashi for an entire

year, one never has to go to naraka. An especially good conjunction is dvadashi in shuklapaksha in the

month of Bhadra when the nakshatra Shravana is in the sky. if one fasts and observes a vrata then,

one earns greater punya than from bathing in the confluence of sacred rivers. If Budha (Mercury) is

also in the sky, the punya is multiplied severalfold.

If one does so, looses whatever merit he had accumulated for one hundred years. Any person who fasts on the liberating day of Mine, but which is mixed with Dasami, their collective merit for the past 100 cycles (one ...
