Understanding Ekadashi: A Guide for Devotees
Ekadashi (एकादशी, "the eleventh day") is the eleventh lunar day (tithi) of both the bright (Shukla Paksha) and dark (Krishna Paksha) fortnights of the Hindu month. It is a day of profound spiritual significance dedicated to Lord Vishnu, observed with prayer, devotion, and fasting (Vrat).
Our calculations are based on the principles outlined in foundational texts like the Dharma Sindhu and Nirnaya Sindhu, ensuring accurate, tradition-compliant timings for all devotees.
Why are there different dates for Smarta and Vaishnava?
- Smarta Sampradaya: Observe Ekadashi when the Ekadashi tithi is prevalent at sunrise, avoiding *Dashami Viddha*.
- Vaishnava Sampradaya: Require a pure Ekadashi at sunrise; otherwise fast on Dwadashi.
Our calendar clearly highlights both dates when they differ.
What is the importance of Dwadashi Parana?
Breaking the fast ( Parana) must be performed on Dwadashi within the specified window after sunrise.
What is Nirjala Ekadashi?
Celebrated in Jyeshtha (May/June), devotees abstain from both food and water for over 24 hours.
What does Upavasa mean?
‘Upa’ (near) + ‘vasa’ (to stay): staying near God through restraint and devotion.
