Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Thu 31 May or Fri 1 Jun in Myjava?
Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Thu 31 May: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 1 Jun.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 05:48. Ekadashi: 05:48 to 03:02 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 03:02; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:48 Thu to 03:02.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 05:48 on Thu 31 May, after that sunrise (04:51), and ends at 03:02 on Fri 1 Jun, before the next (04:50 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 31 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 31 May arunodaya (03:15–04:51) is Dashami. On Fri 1 Jun it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 03:02, then Dwadashi): Fri 1 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 1 Jun, 08:15–20:44 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:02 on Fri 1 Jun to 23:52 on Fri 1 Jun; harivasara ends at 08:15. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:44: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:01, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 2 Jun, 04:50–20:45 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 23:52 Fri on Sat 2 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (03:14): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 04:50, to sunset, 20:45, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
