Also known as Devprabodhini Ekadashi, this occurs on Kartik Sud 11 (7/11/00)

Origin
After sleeping during 'Chaturmaas' - the 4 holy months - in the ocean of milk - 'Kshirsagar,' the Lord awakens on this day. This awakening is known as 'Prabodh.' His vigil at Bali Raja's doorstep, which began on Devpodhi Ekadashi, ends on this day. He then returns to His abode.

Sentiments
To please the Lord all the more, while He is away guarding Bali Raja's kingdom, devotees observe extra vows during Chaturmaas. This is an opportunity for devotees to behold Parmatma in their Atmas. The Lord graces them for having observed the vows and fasts by manifesting in their hearts. This is known as 'Devprabodh'.

   Ritual

• Devotees celebrate 'Devprabodh' by observing a waterless fast. This is the fifth of the 5 waterless fasts to be observed by Swaminarayan followers during the year, as enjoined by Shastriji Maharaj.
• As in the majority of Hindu Dharma's festivals, this festival is 'celebrated' by curbing the ten indriyas and the mind. And the primary factor governing all the senses is the sense of taste. Therefore in denying the body food and water, all the senses lose interest in their respective material pursuits. The time and energy conserved is diverted to offer bhakti to the Lord, who is thus pleased. This form of self-abnegation prevents the senses from degrading the Jiva and so this Ekadashi forms a step towards 'Devprabodh' - awakening the Lord within.
• 
  Devotees in the Swaminarayan Sampradaya also offer a 'Haatadi' to the Lord in the mandirs. This is similar to Annakut, except here, fresh, raw vegetables are offered and arranged in cane baskets in front of the Lord. The inherent sentiment is that everything is God given and this we offer back to the Lord.
