8 songs to sing todayUtpannā Ekādaśī
- Fast today from grains and beans
On this day Ekādaśī Devī appeared from the body of Lord Viṣṇu and killed the demon Mura while the Lord rested in a cave. The Lord blessed her, and from her the Ekādaśī vow began.
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.
