Vaikuntha Chaturdashi Significance
Vaikuntha Chaturdashi follows after the period of four months when Lord Vishnu sleeps. This long period of four months known as Chaturmasa begins with Ashadh Shukla Ekadashi and ends with Kartik Shukla Ekadashi, when Lord Vishnu wakes up from his sleep, and which is celebrated as a festival. Meanwhile, when Lord Vishnu sleeps, Lord Shiva takes up the charge of the world and looks after it in the place of Lord Vishnu.
Lord Vishnu Takes The Charge Of The World From Lord Shiva
After waking up, it is only on Chaturdashi Tithi of Kartik month that Lord Vishnu once again takes the charge from Lord Shiva and begins to look after the world. Vaikunthaloka becomes vibrant with Lord Vishnu's active presence once again.
How Is The Day Observed?
People observe this day for the worship of Lord Vishnu as well as Lord Shiva both. They keep fast for the whole day which they break in the evening. At night they should offer flowers to Lord Vishnu and perform the Puja. Thereafter, a Puja before Lord Shiva should also be performed. One can keep a night vigil and then the next day should perform a Puja before Lord Shiva again and offer food to some priests.
