December 30th, Tuesday - Vaikunta Ekadasi
According to Padma Purana, this is the only day the VAIKUNTHA DWARAM (gate to Heaven) is open for all devotees. As all of us know, VAIKUNTHAM is where LORD VISHNU resides with HIS consort SRI MAHA LAKSHMI. According to Padma Purana, on this day, Lord Vishnu took the form of His female Shakthi named EKADASHI and killed demon Muran. In celebration of this event, it is believed that, for all the devotees that perform Vaikuntha Ekadasi puja, Lord Vishnu grants pravesam (entrance) to Vaikuntham through the Vaikuntha Dwaram. This festival is conducted in all the Vaishnava Temples all over the world in a grand scale, especially at Tirupathi Balaji Temple, Srirangam Ranganatha Temple, Bhadrachalam Sri Rama Temple and many others. We also will have this celebration at our Temple with the Vaikuntha Dwara Puja and Dwara Pravesam and a chance for all the devotees to pass through these gates (dwaram) and have an opportunity to pray to SRI MAHA VISHNU.
