goes to sleep on this day and wakes up after four months on Prabodhini Ekadashi.Chant Sri Vishnu Sahasra Naama Stotram & Laxmi Stotram on this day.
Devshayani Ekadashi comes just after famous Jagannath Rathyatra and currently falls in month of July on English calendar. Chaturmas, a holy period of four months in Hindu calendar, starts from this day.

Parana means breaking the fast. Ekadashi Parana is done after sunrise on next day of Ekadashi fast. It is necessary to do Parana within Dwadashi Tithi unless Dwadashi is over before sunrise. Not doing Parana within Dwadashi is similar to an offence.
Parana should not be done during Hari Vasara. One should wait for Hari Vasara to get over before breaking the fast. Hari Vasara is first one fourth duration of Dwadashi Tithi. The most preferred time to break the fast is Pratahkal. One should avoid breaking the fast during Madhyahna. If due to some reasons one is not able to break the fast during Pratahkal then one should do it after Madhyahna.
Ekadashi fasting is suggested for staunch devotees who seek for love and affection of Lord Vishnu.
