Bhishma Ekadasi is an auspicious fast, observed by the devotees of God Vishnu. It is celebrated on the Ekadasi day of the waxing moon period in the hindu traditional month of Magh.
Bhishma Ekadashi is considered as the birthday of
‘Vishnu Sahasranama’. Bhishma taught this stotra to pandavas, when he laid on
the bed of arrows. Vishnu Sahasranama is thousand names of God Vishnu and one
of the sacred texts of hindus. This period during the lunar year is dedicated
to Bhishma Pitamaha. Bhishma Ashtami and Bhishma dwadasi is also celebrated
during this time.
