If we follow the mythological believes then there is a legendary story popular for the Jaya Ekadashi, according to which this festival was once organized in the Assembly of Lord Indra. The musical program was going on at the festival. There was a Gandharva girl dancing in the same assembly and also so there was a Gandharva man who was singing in a very melodious voice. Lord Indra was enjoying this festival.
During this time the Gandharva girl and the boy exchanged glances with each other and both of them lost their rhythm. Due to this, there was a distraction in the joy of Lord Indra. In such a situation Lord Indra got angry and cursed both of them to be born in the monster's world.
Both the Gandharvas lived a very painful life in the yoni of a monster for a long time. One day they did not consume anything and kept asking forgiveness for their mistake from God. That day was the fasting day of Sahyogvas Jaya Ekadashi. Due to this fact, both of them got rid of hell and return to heaven. All this was coincidental but since then it has become a tradition to observe the Jaya Ekadashi fast and even today people follow this fast in order to avoid a painful birth in the next life.
