What is Ekadashi?
The word Ekadashi means “eleven” in Sanskrit — it names the eleventh lunar day in each paksha. The Padma Purana and Vishnu Purana prescribe fasting on Ekadashi as a primary vaishnava observance: devotees abstain from grains, observe prayer, and break the fast on the following Dwadashi at a prescribed time (parana). The most significant Ekadashis of the year are Nirjala (the waterless fast in Jyeshtha), Devshayani (when Vishnu enters yoganidra), and Prabodhini (when he awakens in Kartik).
