SUMMARY:Paramā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – of the extra\, leap-year month kṛṣṇa pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. \nYudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said\, “O Supreme Lord\, what is the name and character of that Ekādaśī that occurs during the dark fortnight of the extra\, leap year month. Also\, O master of all the universes\, what is the process for observing it properly? Kindly narrate all of this to me?” \nThe Supreme Personality of God\, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa\, replied\, “O Yudhiṣṭhira\, this meritorious day is called Paramā Ekādaśī. It bestows the great benediction of an enjoyable life and ultimate liberation\, release from birth and death. The process for observing it is similar to that for observing the Ekādaśī that occurs during the light part of this month of Kārtika. That is to say\, on this Ekādaśī one should worship Me\, the best of all living beings\, with full love and devotion. In this connection I will now tell you a wonderful history\, just as I heard it from the great sage in the city of Kāmpilya. \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article

SUMMARY:Nirjalā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – Jyeṣṭha śukla pakṣa
DESCRIPTION:BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. \n  \nOnce Bhīmasena\, the younger brother of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira\, asked the great sage Śrīla Vyāsadeva\, the grandfather of the Pāṇḍavas\, if it is possible to return to the spiritual world without having observed all the rules and regulations of the Ekādaśī fasts. \nBhīmasena said\, “O greatly intelligent grandfather\, my brother Yudhiṣṭhira\, my dear mother Kuntī\, and my beloved wife Draupadī\, as well as Arjuna\, Nakula\, and Sahadeva\, fast completely on Ekādaśī and strictly follow all the rules\, and regulations of that sacred day. But\, O grandfather\, I tell them that I cannot live without eating\, because hunger is unbearable to me. I give widely in charity and worship Śrī Keśava properly\, but I cannot fast on Ekādaśī. Please tell me how I can obtain the same result without fasting.” \nHearing these words\, Śrīla Vyāsadeva replied\, “If you want to go to the heavenly planets and avoid the hellish planets\, you should indeed observe a fast on both the light and dark Ekādaśīs.” \nBhīma said\, “O greatly intelligent grandfather\, please listen to my plea. O greatest of munis\, since I cannot live if I eat only once in a day\, how can I possibly live if I fast completely? Within my stomach burns a special fire named vṛka\, the fire of digestion. Only when I eat to my full satisfaction does the fire in my stomach become satisfied. O great sage\, I might possibly be able to fast only once\, so I beg you to tell me of an Ekādaśī that includes all other Ekādaśīs. I shall faithfully observe that fast and hopefully still become eligible for liberation.” \nŚrīla Vyāsadeva replied\, O king\, you have heard from me about the various kinds of occupational duties\, such as elaborate Vedic ceremonies. In the Kali-yuga\, however\, no one will be able to observe all these occupational duties properly. I shall therefore tell you how\, at practically no expense\, one can endure some small austerity and achieve the greatest benefit and resultant happiness. The essence of what is written in the Vedic literatures known as the Purāṇas is that one should not eat on either the dark- or light-fortnight Ekādaśīs. One who fasts on Ekādaśī is saved from going to the hellish planets.” \nHearing Vyāsadeva’s words\, Bhīmasena\, the strongest of all warriors\, became frightened and began to shake like a leaf on a banyan tree in a strong wind. The frightened Bhīmasena said\, “O grandfather\, what should I do? I am completely unable to fast twice a month throughout the year! Please tell me of the one fasting day that will bestow the greatest benefit upon me!” \n……………………………………………………\nClick here to order a copy of the Ekadashi book\, in which you can read this complete article
