Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 20 Jun or Mon 21 Jun in Olean?
Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 20 Jun: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 21 Jun.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:51. Ekadashi: 06:51 to 04:02 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:02; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:51 Sun to 04:02.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:51 on Sun 20 Jun, after that sunrise (05:37), and ends at 04:02 on Mon 21 Jun, before the next (05:37 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 20 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 20 Jun arunodaya (04:01–05:37) is Dashami. On Mon 21 Jun it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:02, then Dwadashi): Mon 21 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 21 Jun, 09:14–20:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:02 on Mon 21 Jun to 00:52 on Tue 22 Jun; harivasara ends at 09:14. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:40, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Tue 22 Jun, 05:38–20:53 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:52 on Tue 22 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:02): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:38, to sunset, 20:53, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
