SUMMARY:Padminī Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – of the extra\, leap-year month śukla pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. \nSūta Gosvāmi said\, “Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said\, O Janārdana\, what is the name of the Ekādaśī that occurs during the light fortnight of the extra\, leap year month? How does one observe it properly? Please narrate all this to me.’ \n“The Supreme Personality of God\, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa\, replied\, „O Pāṇḍava\, the meritorious Ekādaśī that occurs during the light fortnight of the extra month of leap-year is called Padminī. It is very auspicious. The fortunate soul who observes it with great determination and faith will return to My personal abode. This extra-month Ekādaśī is as powerful as I am in nullifying sins. Even four-headed Lord Brahmā cannot glorify it sufficiently. Long ago Lord Brahmā told Nārada about this liberating\, sin-removing Ekādaśī.’ \n“Lotus-eyed Lord Kṛṣṇa became very pleased by the enquiry of Yudhiṣṭhira and spoke to him the following pleasing words: ‘O king\, please listen carefully as I narrate to you the process of fasting on Padminī Ekādaśī\, which is rarely done even by great sages. \n“One should begin his fast on the Daśamī\, the day before Ekādaśī\, by not eating any urad dāl\, pink dāl\, chickpeas\, spinach\, honey\, or sea salt\, and also by not dining in homes of others or off bell-metal plates. These eight things should be avoided. One should eat only once on the Daśamī\, sleep on the ground and remain celibate. On Ekādaśī the devotee should rise early in the morning but should not brush his teeth. Then he should thoroughly bathe – in a place of pilgrimage\, if possible. While chanting sacred hymns from the Vedas\, he should smear his body with cow dung mixed with clay\, sesame-seed paste\, kuśa grass\, and the powder of āmalakī fruits. Then the devotee should take another thorough bath\, after which he should chant the following prayers: \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article

SUMMARY:Aparā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – Jyeṣṭha kṛṣṇa pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. \nYudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said\, “O Janārdana\, what is the name of the Ekādaśī that occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Jyeṣṭha [May-June]? I wish to hear the glories of this sacred day. Please narrate everything to me.” \nLord Śrī Kṛṣṇa said\, “O king\, your inquiry is wonderful because the answer will benefit the whole human society. This Ekādaśī is so sublime and meritorious that even the greatest sins can be erased by its potency. O great king\, the name of this unlimitedly meritorious Ekādaśī is Aparā Ekādaśī. Whoever fasts on this holy day becomes famous all over the universe. Even such sins as killing a brāhmaṇa\, a cow\, or an embryo; blasphemy; or having sex with another man’s wife are completely eradicated by observing Aparā Ekādaśī. \n“O king\, people who bear false witness are most sinful. A person who falsely or sarcastically glorifies another; one who cheats while weighing something on a scale; one who fails to execute the duties of his varṇa or aśrama (an unqualified man’s posing as a brāhmaṇa\, for example\, or a person’s reciting the Vedas wrongly); one who invents his own scriptures; one who cheats others; one who is a charlatan astrologer\, a cheating accountant\, or a false āyurvedic doctor–all these are surely as bad as a person who bears false witness\, and they are all destined for hell. But simply by observing Aparā Ekādaśī\, all such sinners become completely free of their sinful reactions. \n“Warriors who fall from their kṣatriya-dharma and flee the battlefield go to a ferocious hell. But\, O Yudhiṣṭhira\, even such a fallen kṣatriya\, if he observes fasting on Aparā Ekādaśī is freed of that great sin and goes to heaven. \n“That disciple is the greatest sinner who\, after receiving a proper spiritual education from his spiritual master\, turns around and blasphemes him. Such a so-called disciple suffers unlimitedly. But even he\, if he simply observes Aparā Ekādaśī can attain to the spiritual world. Listen\, O king\, as I describe to you further glories of this Ekādaśī. \n“The merit attained by one who performs all of the following acts of piety is equal to the merit achieved by one who observes Aparā Ekādaśī. bathing three times a day in Puṣkara-kṣetra during Kārtika [October-November]; bathing at Prayāg in the month of Māgha [January-February] when the sun is in the Zodiac; rendering service to Lord Śiva at Vārāṇasī during Śiva-rātrī; offering oblations to one’s forefathers at Gayā; bathing in the sacred Gautamī River when Jupiter transits Leo; having darśana of Lord Śiva at Kedāranātha; seeing Lord Badrīnātha when the sun transits the sign of Aquarius; and bathing at the time of a solar eclipse at Kurukṣetra and giving cows\, elephants\, and gold there in charity. All the merit one gets from performing these pious acts is gained by a person who observes the Aparā Ekādaśī fast. Also\, the merit attained by one who donates a pregnant cow\, along with gold and fertile land\, is attained by one who fasts on this day. \n“In other words\, Aparā Ekādaśī is an axe that cuts down the fully matured tree of sinful deeds\, it is a forest fire that burns sins as if they were firewood\, it is the sun blazing before one’s dark misdeeds\, and it is a lion stalking the meek deer of impiety. Therefore\, O Yudhiṣṭhira\, whoever truly fears his past and present sins must observe Aparā Ekādaśī very strictly. One who does not observe this fast must be born again in the material world\, like one bubble among millions in a huge body of water\, or like a small ant among all other species. \n“Therefore one must faithfully observe the sacred Aparā Ekādaśī and worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead\, Śrī Trivikrama. One who does so is freed of all his sins and promoted to the abode of Lord Viṣṇu. \n“O Bhārata\, for the benefit of all humanity I have thus described to you the importance of holy Aparā Ekādaśī. Anyone who hears or reads this description is certainly freed from all kinds of sins\, O king.” \nThus ends the narration of the glories of Jyeṣṭha-kṛṣṇa Ekādaśī\, or Aparā Ekādaśī\, from the Brahmāṇda Purāṇa. \nclick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book.

SUMMARY:Nrsimha Chaturdasi Vratam Vaisnavanam (Appearance of Lord Nrsimhadeva)
DESCRIPTION:FASTING FROM ALL GRAINS AND BEANS AND BREAKING FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. \nThe Agama Sastra states\, VAISNAVAIR NA TU KARTAVYA SMARAVIDDHA CHATURSADI\, Vaisnavas should not observe Nrsimha Chaturdasi fast on that day if that day is combined with the previous day (i.e. mixed with\ntrayodasi). Vaisnavas should observe only the pure and unmixed chaturdasi fast. \n  tava kara-kamala-vare nakham adbhuta-sringam\ndalita-hiranyakasipu-tanu-bhringam\nkesava dhrita-narahari-rupa jaya jagadisa hare \nO Lord Kesava\, O Lord of the Universe\, O remover of miseries of Your devotees\, all glories to You. You had adopted a form of half-lion and half man and killed the beelike demon Hiranyakasipu by using the spectacular nails on Your lotus hands. This act is so surprising because the bee usually tears at the heart of a lotus\, whereas in this instance You ripped the bee like Hiranyakasipu with Your lotus petal-like hands.

DESCRIPTION:King Mandhata once said to Vasistha Muni\, “O great sage\, kindly be merciful to me and tell me of a holy fast that will benefit me eternally.” \nVasistha Muni replied\, “O king\, kindly listen as I describe the best of all fast days\, Amalaki Ekadasi. He who faithfully observes a fast on this Ekadasi obtains enormous wealth\, gets free of the effects of all kinds of sins\, and attains liberation. Fasting on this Ekadasi is more purifying than donating one thousand cows in charity to a pure brahmana.

SUMMARY:Jayā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – Māgha śukla pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said\, “O Lord of lords\, Śrī Kṛṣṇa\, all glories unto You! O master of the universe\, You alone are the source of the four types of living entities-those born from eggs\, those born from perspiration\, those born from seeds\, and those born from embryos. You alone are the root cause of all\, O Lord\, and therefore You are the creator\, maintainer\, and destroyer. \n“My Lord\, You have so kindly explained to me the auspicious day known as Ṣaṭ-tilā Ekādaśī\, which occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Māgha [January-February] . Now please explain the Ekādaśī that occurs during the light fortnight of this month. By what name is it known\, and what is the process for observing it? Who is the Deity that is worshiped on this sublime day\, which is so very dear to You?” \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article

SUMMARY:Ṣaṭ-tilā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – Māgha-kṛṣṇa pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:Dālbhya R̥ṣi said to Pulastya Munī\, “When the spirit soul comes in contact with the material energy\, he immediately begins to perform sinful activities\, such as stealing\, killing\, and illicit sex. He may even perform many other terrible deeds\, such as killing a brāhmaṇa. 0 purest of personalities\, please tell me how these unfortunate souls may escape the punishment of being sent to hellish regions of creation. Kindly inform me how\, by giving even a little in charity\, one may easily become free of his sins.”\nPulastya Munī replied\, “O fortunate one\, you have asked me a good and confidential question\, which not even Brahmā\, Viṣṇu\, Śiva\, or Indra has ever asked. Please listen very carefully to my answer. \n“With the arrival of the month of Māgha [January-February] \, one should bathe\, carefully control his senses by giving up lust \, anger\, pride\, jealousy\, faultfinding\, and greed\, and meditate on the Supreme Personality of Godhead\, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. One should then gather up some cow dung before it touches the ground and\, after mixing it with sesame seeds and cotton\, form 108 balls. This should be done on the day when the constellation of Purvāṣāḍhā-nakṣatra arrives. Then one should follow the rules and regulations of Ekādaśī\, which I shall now explain to you.” \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article

SUMMARY:Putradā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – Pauṣa-śukla pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. KHICHRI BHOG ENDS HERE. \nYudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said\, “O Lord\, You have so nicely explained the glories of the auspicious Saphalā Ekādaśī\, which occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Pauṣa [December-January] . Now please be merciful to me and explain the Ekādaśī of the light fortnight of this month. What is its name\, and what Deity should be worshiped on that sacred day? O Puruṣottama\, O Hṛṣīkeśa\, please also tell me how You can be pleased on this day.” \nLord Śrī Kṛṣṇa replied\, “O king\, for the benefit of all humanity I shall tell you how to observe fasting on Pauṣa-śukla Ekādaśī. “As I previously explained\, everyone should observe the rules and regulations of Ekādaśī to the best of his ability. This injunction also applies to the Ekādaśī named Putradā\, which destroys all sins and elevates one to the spiritual abode. Śrī Nārāyana\, the Supreme Lord and original personality\, is the worshipable Deity of this Ekādaśī\, and for His faithful devotee He happily fulfills all desires and awards full perfection. Thus among all the animate and inanimate beings in the three worlds\, there is no better personality than Lord Nārāyana.” \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article

DESCRIPTION:FASTING FROM ALL GRAINS AND BEANS MUST BE OBSERVED.\nFOLLOWED BY BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. \nSuta Gosvami said\, “O learned brahmanas\, long ago Lord Sri Krsna\, the Supreme Personality of Godhead\, explained the auspicious glories of Sri Ekadasi and the rules and regulations governing each observance of fasting on that holy day. O best of the brahmanas\, whoever hears about the origins and glories of these sacred fasts on the Ekadasi days goes directly to the abode of Lord Visnu after enjoying many different kinds of happiness in this material world. \n“Arjuna\, the son of Prtha\, asked the Lord\, ‘O Janardana\, what are the pious benefits of complete fasting\, eating only supper\, or eating but once at midday on Ekadasi\, and what are the regulations for observing the various Ekadasi days? Kindly narrate all this to me. \n“The Supreme Lord\, Krsna\, replied\, ‘O Arjuna\, in the beginning of winter\, on the Ekadasi that occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Margasirsa [November-December]\, a novice should begin his practice of observing a fast on Ekadasi. On Dasami\, the day before Ekadasi. he should clean his teeth nicely. Then\, during the eighth portion of Dasami\, just as the sun is about to set\, he should eat supper. \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article

LORD KRSNA IS OFFERED GHEE LAMP KEPT ON A PEALED SUGARCANE PIECE IN THE EVENING.\n\nLord Brahmā said to Nārada Muni\, “Dear son\, O best of the sages\, I shall narrate to you the glories of Haribodhinī Ekādaśī\, which eradicates all kinds of sins and bestows great merit\, and ultimately liberation\, upon the wise persons who surrender unto the Supreme Lord. “O best of the brāhmaṇas\, the merits acquired by bathing in the Ganges remain significant only as long as Haribodhinī Ekādaśī does not come. This Ekādaśī\, which occurs during the light fortnight of the month of Kārtika\, is much more purifying than a bath in the ocean\, at a place of pilgrimage\, or in a lake. This sacred Ekādaśī is more powerful in nullifying sin than one thousand Aśvamedha sacrifices and one hundred Rājasūya sacrifices.” \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article
