Pavitrāropaṇa Ekādaśī
- Fast today from grains and beans
Also called Putradā Ekādaśī. King Mahījit of Māhiṣmatī was blessed with a son after his people kept this vow for him. On this day a sacred thread (pavitra) is offered to the Lord.
How to keep Ekādaśī
Ekādaśī, the eleventh day of each fortnight of the moon, is very dear to Lord Hari. Devotees fast from grains and beans, chant more rounds, read and hear about Kṛṣṇa, and break the fast the next morning within the given time.
Songs to sing
Dates and fasting times follow the ISKCON Vaiṣṇava calendar (GCal) for Vrindavan. Times in your town can differ by a few minutes.
