SUMMARY:Kāmikā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – Śravaṇa kṛṣṇa pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. \nMahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira said\, “O Supreme Lord\, I have heard from You the glories of fasting on Deva-śayani Ekādaśī\, which occurs during the light part of the month of Āṣāḍha. Now I would like to hear about the Ekādaśī that occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Śravaṇa [July-August] . O Govinda\, please be merciful to me and explain its glories. O Vāsudeva\, I offer my humble obeisances unto You.” \nThe Supreme Lord\, Śrī Kṛṣṇa\, replied\, “O king\, please listen attentively as I describe the auspicious influence of this holy fast day\, which removes all sins. Nārada Munī once asked Lord Brahmā about this same topic. ‘O regent of all\,’ said Nāradajī\, ‘O you who sit upon a lotus throne\, please tell me the name of the Ekādaśī that occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Śravaṇa. Please also tell me which Deity is worshiped on that holy day\, the process one must follow to observe it\, and the merit it awards.” \n“Lord Brahmā replied\, ‘My dear son Nārada\, for the benefit of all humanity I shall happily tell you everything you wish to know\, for just hearing the glories of Kāmikā Ekādaśī bestows merit equal to that obtained by one who performs a horse sacrifice. Certainly\, great merit is attained by one who worships\, and who also meditates on the lotus feet of\, four-armed Lord Gadadhara\, who holds conchshell\, disc\, club and lotus in His hands and who is also known as Śrīdhara\, Harī\, Viṣṇu\, Mādhava\, and Madhusūdana. And the blessings achieved by a person who worships Lord Viṣṇu exclusively are far greater than those achieved by one who takes a sacred bath in the Ganges at Kāśī [Vārānāsī] \, in the forest of Naimiṣāraṇya\, or at Puṣkara\, where I am worshiped. But one who observes Kāmikā Ekādaśī and also worships Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa achieves greater merit than one who has darśana of Lord Kedāranātha in the Himalayas\, or one who bathes at Kurukṣetra during a solar eclipse\, or one who donates the whole earth in charity\, including its forests and oceans\, or one who bathes in the Gaṇḍakī River or Godāvarī River on a full moon day that falls on a Monday when Leo and Jupiter are conjoined.” \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article

SUMMARY:Putradā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – Śravaṇa śukla pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. THE SWING FESTIVAL OF LORD SRI SRI RAHDA GOVINDAJI STARTS ON THIS DAY AND ENDS ON FULL MOON DAY. FASTING FROM LEAFY VEGETABLES ENDS HERE. YOGURT AND BUTTERMILK FAST BEGINS HERE AND LASTS FOR NEXT 30 DAYS. \nYudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said\, “O Madhusūdana\, O killer of the Madhu demon\, please be merciful to me and describe to me the Ekādaśī that occurs during the light fortnight of the month of Śravaṇa [July-August] .” \nThe Supreme Lord\, Śrī Kṛṣṇa\, replied\, “Yes\, O king\, I shall happily narrate its glories to you\, for j ust by hearing about this sacred Ekādaśī one attains the merit of performing a horse sacrifice.” \n“At the dawn of Dvāpara-yuga there lived a king by the name of Mahijita\, who ruled the kingdom of Māhiṣmatī-purī. Because he had no son\, his entire kingdom seemed utterly cheerless to him. A married man who has no son gains no happiness in this life or the next. For a long time this king tried very hard to obtain an heir\, but to no avail. Seeing his years advancing ever onwards\, King Mahijita became increasingly anxious. One day he told an assembly of his advisers : ‘I have committed no sin in this life\, and there is no ill-gotten wealth in my treasury. I have never usurped the offerings to the demigods or brāhmaṇas. When I waged war and conquered kingdoms\, I followed the rules and regulations of the military art \, and I have protected my subjects as if they were my own children. I punished even my own relatives if they broke the law\, and if my enemy was gentle and religious I welcomed him. O twice-born souls\, although I am a religious and faithful follower of the Vedic standards\, still my home is without a son. Kindly tell me the reason for this.” \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article

SUMMARY:Ajā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – Bhādrapada kṛṣṇa pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:BREAKING THE FAST ON NEXT DAY.  \nYudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said\, “O Janārdana\, protector of all living entities\, please tell me the name of the Ekādaśī that occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Bhādrapada. [August-September] \nThe Supreme Lord\, Śrī Kṛṣṇa\, replied\, “O king\, hear me attentively. The name of this sin-removing\, sacred Ekādaśī is Ajā. Any person who fasts completely on this day and worships Hṛṣikeśa\, the master of the senses\, becomes free of all reactions to his sins. Even one who simply hears about this Ekādaśī is freed from his past sins. O king\, there is no better day than this in all the earthly and heavenly worlds. This is true without a doubt. \n“There once lived a famous king named Hariścandra\, who was the emperor of the world and a person of great truth and integrity. His wife’s name was Candramatī\, and he had a son named Lohitāśva. By the force of destiny\, however\, Hariścandra lost his great kingdom and sold his wife and son. The pious king himself became a menial servant of a dog-eater\, who made him guard a crematorium. Yet even while doing such menial service\, he did not forsake his truthfulness and good character\, just as soma-rasa\, even when mixed with some other liquid\, does not lose its ability to bestow immortality. \n“The king passed many years in this condition. Then one day he sadly thought\, `What shall I do? Where should I go? How can I be delivered from this plight?’ In this way he drowned in an ocean of anxiety and sorrow. \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article

SUMMARY:Parivartinī Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – Bhādrapada śukla pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:BREAKING THE FAST ON NEXT DAY. THE YOGURT FAST ENDS HERE. THE MILK FAST STARTS ON THIS DAY AND LASTS FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS. \nYudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja asked of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa\, “What is the name of that Ekādaśī that occurs during the light fortnight (shukla paksha) of the month of Bhādrapada (August-September) ? Who is the worshipable Deity for this Ekādaśī\, and what merit does one attain in observing it? Kindly reveal all of this to me my Lord.” \nThe Supreme Lord\, Śrī Kṛṣṇa addressed His devoted Yudhiṣṭhira as follows\, “This Ekādaśī\, O Yudhiṣṭhira\, is called Vāmana Ekādaśī\, and it bestows upon those who observe it both great merit and ultimate liberation from material bondage. Therefore\, because it removes all one‟s sinful reactions\, it is also called Jayantī Ekādaśī. Just hearing of its glories frees one from all his past misdeeds. So auspicious is this fast that observing it bestows the same merit as that earned by performing a horse sacrifice. There is no better Ekādaśī than this\, because it awards liberation so easily. Thus if one truly desires freedom from the punishing material world\, one should fast on Vāmana Ekādaśī. \n“While observing this holy fast\, a Vaiṣṇava should lovingly worship the Supreme Lord in His form as Vāmandev\, the dwarf incarnation\, whose eyes are like lotus petals. By doing so\, he worships all other Deities as well\, including Brahmā\, Viṣṇu\, and Śiva\, and at death he undoubtedly goes to that abode of Śrī Hari. In all the three worlds there is no fast that is more important to observe. The reason this Ekādaśī is so auspicious is that it celebrates the day when the sleeping Lord Viṣṇu turns over on His other side; thus it is also known as Parivartinī Ekādaśī.” Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira then asked of the Lord\, “O Janārdana\, please clear up a question I have. How is it that the Supreme Lord sleeps and then turns over on His side? O Lord\, when You are asleep what happens to all the other living entities? Please also tell me how You bound the king of the demons\, Bali Mahārāja\, as well as how one may please the brāhmaṇas. How does one observe Cāturmāsya. Kindly be merciful to me and answer these questions.” \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article \ntaken from the narration of the glories of Parivartinī Ekādaśī\, or Vāmana Ekādaśī\, which occurs during the light part of the month of Bhādrapada\, from the Brahmā-vaivarta Purāṇa.

SUMMARY:Indirā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – Āśviṇa kṛṣṇa pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. \nYudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said\, “O Madhūsudana\, O killer of the Madhu demon\, what is the name of the Ekādaśī\, that occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Āśvina [September-October]? Please describe its glories to me.” \nThe Supreme Lord\, Śrī Kṛṣṇa\, replied\, “This holy day is called Indirā Ekādaśī. If a person fasts on this day\, all his sins are eradicated and his forefathers who have fallen into hell are liberated. O best of kings\, one who simply hears about this Ekādaśī achieves the great merit earned by performing a horse sacrifice. \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article

SUMMARY:Pāpāṅkuśā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – Āśviṇa śukla pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. THE MILK FAST ENDS ON THIS DAY AND THE FASTING FROM ALL KINDS OF NUTS AND BEANS BEGINS ON THIS DAY AND LASTS FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS. EGGPLANTS (OR BRINGAL) AND GUR (RAW SUGAR OR BROWN SUGAR) CANNOT BE CONSUMED IN THIS MONTH. DEVOTEES TAKE SOME EXTRA SPIRITUAL VOWS FOR THE KARTIKA MONTH ON THIS DAY. AKASHA DEEPA DANAM (OFFERING A GHEE LAMP TO THE LORD) AND SINGING OF DAMODARASTAM ALONG WITH THE VRAJARAJA-SUTASTAKAM BEGINS ON THIS DAY AND LASTS UNTIL KARTIKA MONTH ENDS. \nYudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said\, “O Madhūsudana\, what is the name of the Ekādaśī that occurs during the light fortnight of the month of Āśvina [September-October]? Please be merciful and tell this to me.” \nThe Supreme Lord\, Śrī Kṛṣṇa\, replied\, “O king\, please listen as I explain the glories of this Ekādaśī–Pāpāṅkuśā Ekādaśī–which removes all sins. On this day one should worship the Deity of Padmanābha\, the lotus-naveled Lord\, according to the rules and regulations. By doing so\, one achieves whatever heavenly pleasures he wants in this world and at last attains liberation. Simply by offering one’s humble obeisances unto Lord Viṣṇu\, the rider of Garuḍa\, once can achieve the same merit as is won by performing great penances for a long time with completely controlled senses. Although a person might have committed unlimited sins\, he can still escape hell just by paying his obeisances to Lord Hari\, who removes all sins. \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article \n

DESCRIPTION:Breaking the fast on the next day.\n\nYudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said\, “O Janārdana\, O protector of all beings\, what is the name of the Ekādaśī that occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Kārtika [October-November]?
