Baikunth (Vaikunth) Chaturdashi - Kartik Shukla Chaturdashi
According to Sanatan Dharma, Chaturdashi of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month is known as Baikunth Chaturdashi. It is believed that on Chaturdashi of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month, in Hemlambha year, during Arunodaya Kaal, in Brahma Muhurta, Lord Vishnu himself took bath at Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi. Vishweshwar had worshipped here by observing Pashupat fast. Lord Shankar, pleased with the penance of Lord Vishnu, blessed Vishnu first and then every devotee who worshipped him to get Vaikunth on this day. It is believed that by worshipping Lord Vishnu, the lord of Baikuntha, one gets the desired result and gets residence in Baikunth Dham. In Hinduism, Vaikunth Lok is considered to be the residence of Lord Vishnu and the abode of happiness. According to mythological beliefs, Vaikunth Lok is conscious, divine and illuminated. Since then, this day is also celebrated as 'Kashi Vishwanath Sthapana Divas'. On the occasion of this auspicious day, Lord Shiva and Vishnu are worshipped. Along with this, the fast is broken. It is also known as Baikunth Chaudas. Devotees observe fast on this day.
On the night of Kartik Shukla Chaturdashi (Vaikunth Chaturdashi), Lord Vishnu and Lord Shankar meet in the form of Harihar Milaap. It is believed that in the middle of the night, Lord Shiva goes to meet Vishnu. Lord Shiva hands over the responsibility of the universe to Lord Vishnu for four months and goes to the Himalayas. Therefore, Lord Shiva is worshipped with Tulsi leaves, which are the favourite leaves of Lord Vishnu. Later, when Lord Vishnu comes to Lord Shiva, fruits and Shiva's favourite Bilva leaves are offered to Lord Chaturbhuj. In this way, each other's favourite things are offered to each other. On this day, various seasonal fruits are offered to the Lord. Kartik Shukla Chaturdashi is a symbol of the "unity" of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. This is also the sign in the worship of the world protector Vishnu and the welfare-giving deity Shiva.
Devotees observe fast on the day of Baikunth Chaturdashi. This fast is observed on the day of Kartik Shukla Chaturdashi, which is the day of Arunodaya. On this Chaturdashi, this fast is observed by worshipping Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. The fast is observed on the night when Chaturdashi is the day of Arunodaya. The worship and Parana of this fast is done on the next Arunodaya.
According to the scriptures, on this day, by meditating on Shiva and special Vishnu mantras, Shakti and Lakshmi are pleased, which removes poverty and worldly desires like wealth, fame, prestige and every happiness are fulfilled soon. Lord Vishnu had taken incarnation in the form of "Matsya" on the day of Kartik Shukla Chaturdashi. The next day, the fast of Kartik Purnima is considered to give the same result as ten yagyas.
Baikunth Chaturdashi Story
Story 01
According to ancient belief, once Lord Vishnu came to Kashi to worship Devadhidev Mahadev. There, after taking bath at Manikarnika Ghat, he resolved to worship Lord Vishwanath with one thousand golden lotus flowers. After Abhishek, when he started worshiping, Shiva reduced one lotus flower to test his devotion. Lord Shri Hari had to offer one thousand lotus flowers to complete the worship. Seeing the lack of one flower, he thought that my eyes are also like lotus. I am called 'Kamal Nayan' and 'Pundarikaksha'. Thinking this, Lord Vishnu offered to offer his lotus-like eye. Pleased with this immense devotion of Vishnu Ji, Devadhidev Mahadev appeared and said- "O Vishnu! There is no other devotee of mine like you in the world. Today's Kartik Shukla Chaturdashi will now be called 'Vaikunth Chaturdashi' and the one who worships you first by fasting on this day will attain Vaikunth Lok. Lord Shiva, on this Vaikunth Chaturdashi, gives Sudarshan Chakra, which has the radiance of millions of Suns, to Vishnu Ji.
On this day, Shiva and Vishnu Ji say that the gates of heaven will remain open on this day. Any person living in the mortal world who observes this fast will ensure his place in Vaikunth Dham.
Story 02
Once Narad Ji reaches Vaikunth Dham after roaming from the earth. Lord Vishnu makes him sit respectfully and happily asks the reason for his visit. Narad Ji says - Prabhu! You have named yourself Kripanidhaan. Due to this, those who are your favorite devotees, They get salvation. Ordinary men and women remain deprived. So please tell me a simple way through which ordinary devotees can also attain salvation by worshipping you.
Hearing this, Vishnu Ji said - O Narada! Listen to me, the doors of Baikunth Dham will be open for those men and women who will observe fast on Chaturdashi of Shukla Paksha of Kartik and worship me with devotion.
After this, Vishnu Ji calls Jai-Vijay and orders them to keep the doors of Baikunth Dham open on Kartik Chaturdashi. Lord Vishnu says that on this day, any devotee who worships me by taking even a little name, will attain Baikunth Dham.
Story 03
There was a Brahmin named Dhaneshwar who used to do very bad deeds. He had many sins. One day he went to take a bath in the Godavari river. That day was Vaikunth Chaturdashi.
