Vishnu Purana says fasting on Vaikuntha Ekadashi,
is equivalent to fasting on the all the
Ekadashis!
Scriptures say that the gates of his divine abode,
the Vaikuntam, was opened by the merciful Lord,
for two demons who said stories and hence asked for a boon,
that whoever listens to them and sees the the Lord coming out of the door,
will reach Vaikunth, through the Swarga Vaadhil, the divine door!
Padma Purana tells us the tale of the demon Muran,
who was slayed by the Lord Vishnus's energy, a female ansham!
Pleased by this act that happened on the 11th day of lunar month of Dhanu Rashi,
Lord Vishnu named his female energy as ‘Ekadashi’!
And so she was gifted with a blessing,
that whoever worship her on this day of her victory,
would reach the Lords divine abode,
through the divine golden door!
So oh vishnu bhaktas observe the fast of this month,
and get moksha from the cycle of life and death!
