Kamada Ekadashi

Kamada Ekadashi possesses such purifying power that it bestows the highest merit on those who sincerely observe it.The Padma Purana confirms this effect of Ekadashi: "By fasting on Ekadashi in childhood, youth, and old age, one is undoubtedly freed from the suffering of material existence."📕In the story of Kamada Ekadashi, we see an example of a wife observing Ekadashi for the benefit of her husband and giving him the fruits of her austerity, because the husband, due to a curse, has fallen into such a state that he is unable to observe Ekadashi himself. And if you also have a loved one whom you want to help, but they themselves are unable to observe Ekadashi for some reason, you can observe Ekadashi for them.🕊️The one for whom fasting is done attains complete merit. By fasting for the benefit of her husband, a wife receives 100 times more benefit than by fasting for her own sake; her husband also receives benefit from fasting. This is the conclusion of great sages well versed in the scriptures." (Vayu Purana)
