Lord Vishnu Visits The Earth
Ksheerabdi Dwadashi is the day when it is said that Lord Vishnu visits Vrindavan. Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Brahma also accompany him there. The fast that is observed on the Ekadashi the previous day, also ends on this day. The parana this year can be performed from 6:52 pm to 8:58 pm on 20 November.
Goddess Lakshmi Appeared From Ksheer Sagar
Ksheerabdi also comes from the word Ksheer Sagar, the ocean of milk, which the gods were asked to churn along with the demons. It was so done as Goddess Lakshmi had once left the abode of Lord Vishnu and hence prosperity also seemed to leave the abode. She would only return as the daughter of the ocean when the milk of the ocean would be churned. It is believed that the Goddess had appeared from the ocean on the day of Ksheerabdi Dwadashi.
