Vishnu Goes To Sleep Shayani/Aashad Ekadasi

Hindu Gods do not sleep.

Only when these Gods manifest, to follow Human Norms they perform activities of Man.

What this means is that Vishnu enters His Yoga Nidra.

Looks asleep yet completely with Pure Consciousness.

Lord Vishnu the Para Brahma Swarpa, how can He sleep?

Many translate this Yoga Nidra as ari thuyil, using the soft 'R' Itayinam.

It should be the vallinam , R aRi thuyil.

The former means Vishnu's Sleep, while the later, which is correct, means , Sleeping with Awareness.
