Kaamika Ekadashi - Ashadh Vad Ekadashi
King Yudhishthir once asked Bhagwan Shree Krishna, "O Vaasudev! What is the name and significance of the Ekadshi that fall in the dark fortnight of the month of Ashadh?!"
Bhagwan Shree Krishna replied, "O king! Vrat of this Ekadashi dispels all sins just as the rising sun dispels darkness. I will reiterate the same answer Brahma gave to Sage Narad when later asked Brahma the same question. Listen to it attentively."

Chaturmaas literally means the period of four months from Ashadh Sud Ekadashi (Padma or Devshayani) to Kartik Sud Ekadashi (Prabodhani). The Sun enters Kark Rashi (cancer zodiac) and travels southwards. Bhagwan Narayan and Devtas rest for this period. Therefore we must be more vigilant against the evils and sins. For all Hindus, this period is to augment their faith and devotion by listening to Katha and observing Vrats. It is inauspicious to undertake any social events such as marriages and Upavit ceremony during this period. The Brahmand Puran, Bhavishya Puran, Shreemad Bhagwat and many other holy scriptures extol the virtues of observing special Niyams for this period.
Padma Ekadashi - Ashadh Sud Ekadashi AKA Devshayani Ekadashi
King Yudhishthir once asked Bhagwan Shree Krishna, "O Keshav! By what name the Ekadashi falling in Sud fortnight of month of Ashadh is known? Please narrate me Mahatmya of this Ekadashi." Bhagwan Shree Krishna replied, "O king! Lord Brahma, the creator narrated Mahatmya of this Ekadashi to his son Narad. I shall reiterate the same Katha to you."
