Why does Saphala Ekadashi fall on these dates?
A lunar date comes about 11 days earlier each year, until an extra lunar month (adhika) moves it later again. One falling early in January can move back into the December before, so a year can have two, and the next year none.
Why Thu 1 Jan?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Thu 1 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:50 Wed to 00:05 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 00:05; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 1 Jan only, at 05:41: Thu 1 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:50 Wed, before it (04:05–05:41).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 2 Jan, 06:33–18:51 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:05 on Fri 2 Jan to 01:55 on Sat 3 Jan; harivasara ends at 06:33. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:51: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:19.
Why Mon 21 Dec?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Mon 21 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:30 Sun to 20:49.
Ekadashi ended at 20:49 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 21 Dec only, at 05:35: Mon 21 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:30 Sun, before it (03:59–05:35).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 22 Dec, 05:35–18:47 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:49 on Mon 21 Dec to 23:22 on Tue 22 Dec; harivasara ends at 03:27. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 22 Dec, 05:35. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:47: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:14.
