Mispronouncing Sanskrit mantras can sometimes cause negative effects rather than positive ones. The scriptures advise that if you are not fluent in Sanskrit, it is completely acceptable and safer to read the Hindi (or your native language) translation of the Stotras or prayers. The emotion and devotion matter more than the language.

The word "Apara" means "limitless" or "infinite." Observing the Apara Ekadashi fast is believed to provide infinite merit (Akshaya Punya) to the devotee. It washes away all past sins and opens the doors to prosperity and salvation.

The primary reasons are: 1) Influence of Saturn on the 7th house (delays maturity). 2) A Weak 7th Lord (lack of opportunity). 3) Combust Venus or Jupiter (weak significators). 4) Mangal Dosha (technical mismatches). However, weakness is often the most overlooked cause.
