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 Sat 9 Jan?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Sat 9 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:10 to 21:47.
Ekadashi ended at 21:47 Sat; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 9 Jan only, at 06:07: Sat 9 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:10, before it (04:31–06:07).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 10 Jan, 06:08–17:41 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:47 on Sat 9 Jan to 19:23 on Sun 10 Jan; harivasara ends at 03:11. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 10 Jan, 06:08. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:41: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:26.
Why Thu 30 Dec?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Thu 30 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:42 Wed to 16:10.
Ekadashi ended at 16:10 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 30 Dec only, at 06:04: Thu 30 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:42 Wed, before it (04:28–06:04).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 31 Dec, 06:04–13:10
