Vaishnava Kamika Ekadashi 2022: Know significance, shubh muhurat, puja vidhi and mantra

-

Sawan month has begun and it is considered to be the most auspicious month of the year for the Hindu community. During this holy month, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are widely worshiped across temples in the country. Amid this sacred time, the Vaishnava Ekadashi fast during the Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha of the Hindu calendar is also observed.

As per the Hindu calendar, Vaishnava Kamika Ekadashi this year will be observed on 24 July (Sunday). One this special day, devotees in large numbers worship Lord Vishnu. They believe that their wishes get fulfilled by worshipping him on Vaishnava Ekadashi. Devotees also believe that a person who fasts on this day receives Lord Vishnu's gift of forgiveness.

Details on Shubh Muhurat:

On 23 July, the Kanima Ekadashi will begin at 11:27 am and end on 24 July at 1:45 pm. According to Udayatithi, the Kamika Ekadashi fast is supposed to be kept on 24 July.

Puja Vidhi to follow:

The Kamika Ekadashi vrat is a three-day long fast. During these specific days, few followers don’t drink water while others consume only sattvic food, which are light and healthy. People can only break their fast the following day, during sunrise.

Here are few rules to keep in mind:

  • Wake up early, take a bath and wear clean clothes.
  • Prepare yourselves to perform puja.
  • Puja ka thali should include tulsi leaves, fresh fruits, sweets, panchamrit and yellow flowers.
  • Devotees are advised to recite the story of Kamika Ekadashi at home especially to children.
  • Then, aarti is performed and prasad is distributed.

Mantra:

Devotees recite Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevay mantra during Vaishnava Kamika Ekadashi.

Significance:

The Bhagavata Purana — which is one of Hinduism's eighteen great Puranas — describes the significance of this day. As per the holy book, Lord Krishna revealed to Narad Muni that fasting on Kamika Ekadashi is regarded holy. It is equal to bathing in the Ganga to apologise and ask forgiveness for all the sins committed in life. It is also believed that to clean, repair and revive our soul a partial or full fast should be observed to receive special blessings.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
