Question 1

Does Putrada Ekadashi only benefit childless couples?

Accepted Answer

No — while the name emphasises the child-bestowing aspect, this Ekadashi is equally meritorious for all devotees for moksha, health, wealth, and Vishnu's blessings. All Ekadashis carry the same spiritual merit of Vishnu worship.

Question 2

Is Pavitropana Ekadashi the same as Putrada?

Accepted Answer

Pavitropana Ekadashi refers to Shravana Shukla Ekadashi, which also carries the name Putrada. Both are son-bestowing Ekadashis but fall in different months — Shravana and Paush respectively.
