6 songs to sing todayGītā Jayantī
The day Lord Kṛṣṇa spoke the Bhagavad-gītā to Arjuna at Kurukṣetra.
Mokṣadā Ekādaśī
- Fast today from grains and beans
King Vaikhānasa saw in a dream that his father was suffering in hell. On the advice of the sage Parvata he kept this Ekādaśī and gave its merit to his father, who was freed. Gītā Jayantī falls at the same time.
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.
