How the dates are fixed· तिथि निर्णय
Hindu date: The eleventh tithi of each fortnight (Shukla and Krishna).
Ekadashi is kept on the day before Dwadashi is current at sunrise, so that the fast can be broken (parana) within Dwadashi. Usually that is simply the day Ekadashi is current at sunrise; when Ekadashi spans two sunrises or is lost between them, this rule decides the day.
Dates are for New Delhi; elsewhere they can differ by a day. Month names follow the Purnimanta calendar used in North India, where a month ends on Purnima.
About Ekadashi· महत्व
Ekadashi is kept by abstaining from grains and beans, or with a full or water-only fast, and with worship of Vishnu, japa and night vigil. The scriptures say no other vrat equals it.
Every Ekadashi has a name and a story from the Puranas, told by Krishna to Yudhishthira: Nirjala in summer, Devshayani at the start of Chaturmas, Devuthani at its end, Mokshada on Gita Jayanti, and so on.
How it is observed· विधि
- Eat a single sattvic meal without grains on Dashami, the day before.
- On Ekadashi avoid rice, wheat, pulses and beans; keep a full fast, a water-only fast or a fruit-and-milk (phalahar) fast as health allows.
- Worship Lord Vishnu with tulsi leaves, a ghee lamp and yellow flowers; read the Ekadashi katha or the Vishnu Sahasranama.
- Stay awake in bhajan or japa through the night if you can.
- Break the fast (parana) on Dwadashi after sunrise, after the first quarter of Dwadashi (Hari Vasara) and before Dwadashi ends.
