Thank you very much for this calendar. This is very helpful.
Thank you very much. I am living in abroad and i wonder if it is possible 4 u to provide me some knowledge about ekadhsi timinigs?Does ekadshi depends upon the day or timing according to India?
Very appreciate your post.
I am just a bit doubtful that is there any much difference between Ekadasi calendar in separate areas, e.g Vietnam and India???
Another thing, if I do have a vitally unavoidable test in 24 April (2010), then could you suggest me some way/ food to maintain my day?
Tons of thanks,
Thank you so much for these dates, I use to do Ekadasi's before, however life changes came about and this fasting was neglected ans so now i would like to get back on track, so this time I aslo havedone reading on the fast etc....But I'm still confused with what is the difference between these two dates
April 24, 2010 – Kamla Ekadasi – Padmini Ekadashi (Smarta) (Adhik Maas Ekadasi)
April 25, 2010 – Kamala Ekadasi – Padmini Ekadashi (Bhagvat or Vaishnava) SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADHIK MAAS EKADASI & VAISHNAVA. PLEASE EXPLAIN
I aslo came across this very good site of Ekadasi calculator for the person in Vietnam.
http://www.ahobilamutt.org/us/services/ekadasi/ekadasi03.asp
jyoti
@ it is the same ekadashi but is observed on different dates by some communities. Most people observe it on the Vaishava day.
Yep,thank for letting me know there is a way of Ekadasi date calculation in Vietnam.
I've just followed the link posted above (http://www.ahobilamutt.org/us/services/ekadasi/ekadasi03.asp, however, it doesn't properly work with the errors
How can you help me dear?

http://www.hindu-blog.com/2008/02/ekadasi-food-what-can-be-eaten-on.html
I've imported all the dates for the 2010 Ekadasi calendar into a Google calendar and made it public here: http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=seeoqms98mah4cv26kf8b6bb0c%40group.calendar.google.com. Feel free to use it and to point out any mistakes needing rectification.
Thanks Sylv :) The calendar is helpful ...
thank you 4 the ekadashi calender 4 2010 it is very usefull beacause i used to miss out on akadashi's but now i will never forget and what does bhim agiyaraas mean??
thankss
thank u very much
Thank you very much for providing information.
Most useful calender who observe ekadasi. I used to miss out. But now I don't miss the ekadasi dates
This is wonderful and very inspiring to start ekadashi fasts.
if you miss fasting on Ekadashi, what sacrifice one has to do, can we keep the fast next day...
Please answer this question????
What i do is i fast on the next day, if i miss and ekadasi fasting. As in most cases the ekadasi tithi only ends on the next day.
Very good.
some believe it is wrong to fast on the next day as the ekadasi fast is to be broken the next day; observe a major ekadasi (nirjala or vaikuntha ekadasi for example) that is equivalent to several ekadasi fasts and your sacrifice is taken account.
timings for starting and also breaking the fast is important; see http://www.vaisnavacalendar.info/ for local timings based on major cities/timezones
dear parkash i like this because this type of information one can get raerely thanks pl provide me in feature also

I am living at Florida in USA. I have been continuing Ekadashi fast almost one year twice a month, please send the day of Ekadashi fast on 13th or 14th May 2011.
My mail address is punyoraj@gmail.com
Thanks.

Last year Vaikuntha ekadashi & Mokshada ekadashi were on same date (17 Dec 2010) but this year they are on differnt dates why is it so? (Mokshada ekadshi in Dec 11& Vaikuntha ekadashi on 5th Jan 12)
Vaikunta Ekadasi is observed during the Shukla Paksha of Margazhi month. Mokshada Ekadasi is not dependent on Margazhi.
thank u sooo much for this post...n if we want to do ekadashi fasting we should do it for both ekadashis of the month or the one after pournima...plzz help
You should fast on both Ekadasis
To all readers,
there seems to be many questions regarding the Ekadasi's times in different time zones. This is called Tiyties in Sanskrit.
Yes the sometimes depending on where you live you must observe the fast(Ekadasi)on a different day or more likely the starting and ending point is different by a few hours.
Also in Ekadasi there is a time it officially starts and ends. When the Ekadasi ends we must 'break' it by taking some grain prasadam(offered food to Lord Visnu). This is called Paran in Sanskrit. These are the details of Ekadasi Vrata.
If you want to follow Ekadasi strictly, in accordance to the Vaisnava Sastras then you must go to www.purebhakti.com and see for yourself what time the Ekadasi starts and stops in your country. There will be some variations based on your time zone. These differences are calculated by an expert Vaisnava astrologer.
That is www.purebhakti.com look up Ekadasi dates. This website is under the direction of His divine grace Bhaktivedanta Narayan Maharaj. The foremost of Vaisnava Acharyas. Thank you very much.
Can some body post the exact date and time the ekadashi fast has to begin and the time it ends......... I am a beginner and nneds to know the appropriate way of doing it. Please.............
Exact tithi varies from region to region and might begin at night day noon etc. The best method of fasting to fast on Ekadasi day from sunrise to next day sunrise.
January 5, 2012 –Shattila Ekadashi –Satila Ekadasi -Vaikunta Ekadasi and again December 23, 2012 –Mokshada Ekadasi -Vaikunta Ekadasi, CAN YOU PLEASE CLARIFY WHEN IS VAIKUNTA EKADASI EXACTLY?
In 2012 there are two Vaikunta Ekadasi first is on January 5 and another is year end on December 23. This is very natural. Some years there are no Vaikunta Ekadasi. This all depends on when Shukla Paksha Ekadasi falls in Margazhi month.
vaikunta ekadasi is on 4th jan 2012.....it starts at early morning at 5.30,,,and it lasts till 5th morng 7.30... this is acording to our hindu panchangam timings,,,, but in d calender we get as 5th bcoz they alwaz consider d sunrise time and fix d date fr al d festivals,,,,, hence its given as 5th,,,,,but il celebrate it on 4th only,,coz d next day it lasts only fr sumtym,,,,,and in TIRUPATI TIRUMALA,,temple d vaikunta dwaram is opened on 3rd night n lasts on 4th night n wil b closed on 5th night,,,,, to conclude as 3 nights,,,,, d next day is mukkoti dwadashi
Vijaya Ekadashi is to be observed on 17 or 18 february 2012??
If you are following general calendar then it is on February 18, 2012. Those only a minor sect of people observe it on Feb 17, 2012.
Pls suggest good date in feb for haven. We have moved in new house on 19 jan in the uk. Is 18 feb a good date?
pls suggest breakfast time on 19.2.2012 in India.
pls suggest breakfast time on 19.2.2012 in India.
You can do breakfast after sunrise...as ekadasi tithi is already over.

hari om ,
i have just started my ekadasi fasting
in march , this is my second fast. i am really enjoying it & really appreciate all the info posted on ekadasi.18/03/2012 SA
I don't belive in Ekadashi. If you work hard you will get success.
Kundan
IN ACCORDANCE TO INDIAN STANDARD TIME THE Varuthini Ekadasi IS ON 17 Apr 2012 , FEW DATES YOU MENTIONED ARE CONTAMINATED BY Dasami,
Which communities follow Ekadesi; Is it only for Iyengars?
Does all Ekadesi followed by Yadav, Stpathiyar, Porkoller, Silpi.
All communities can observe Ekadasi
How to do the udyapan for ekadshi vrats?
I don't understand.... Because Ekadasi should be on the date of the apogee and the perigee of the moon... but if you compare the date of the Vaishnava calendar and a calendar of the date of apogee and perigee.... it is not the same...
For example, Ekadasi on August is on:
the 13th and the 27th.
Apogee/Perigee calendar on August is on :
the 10th and 23th.
Might you help me ?
Ekadasi is on the 13th
This is lovely. Great website first of all & every piece of information is well explained
