According to the Hindu Panchang, the Krishna Paksha Dwadashi that occurs around fifteen days after the Kartika Shukla Yogeshwara Dwadashi is known as Krishna Yogeshwara Dwadashi. On this day, devotees observe a Vrat dedicated to Lord Vishnu and perform His Shodashopachara Puja. In the scriptures, Lord Vishnu is referred to as Yogeshwara or Yoga-Yogeshwara, the Supreme Master of Yoga. Therefore, this Dwadashi is also known as Yogeshwara Dwadashi.
The significance of observing the Dwadashi Vrat is elaborated upon in various ancient Hindu scriptures. In earlier times, when King Yudhishthira asked Lord Krishna - "how can a human being atone for his sins and attain liberation?", Lord Krishna described the various Dwadashi fasts to be observed throughout the year.
In the Narada Purana, when Devarshi Narada expressed his curiosity, the Sanakadi Muni explained in detail the method of observing the Dwadashi fasts, including the rituals and Udyapana, to be performed from the month of Margashirsha until the month of Kartika.
For the detailed procedure of this Vrat, refer to the Yogeshwara Dwadashi observed on Kartika Shukla Dwadashi.
According to the Hindu Panchang, the Shukla Dwadashi of the Kartika month is known as Yogeshwara Dwadashi. Devotees observing this Vrat recite and listen to the Yogeshwara Dwadashi Vrat Katha on this day. The story includes Sage Agastya's explanation of the Yogeshwara Dwadashi Vrat procedure.
