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.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 13:10.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 13:10 Fri to 10:47.
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 Sat 9 Jan only, at 05:46: Sat 9 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 13:10 Fri, before it (04:10–05:46).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 10 Jan, 05:47–08:23
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 10:47 on Sat 9 Jan to 08:23 on Sun 10 Jan; harivasara ends at 16:11 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 10 Jan, 05:47.
Why Wed 29 Dec and Thu 30 Dec?
Smarta · For Smartas, Saphala Ekadashi is on Wed 29 Dec: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 30 Dec.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:42. Ekadashi: 07:42 to 05:10 Thu.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:10; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:42 Wed to 05:10.
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 begins at 07:42 on Wed 29 Dec, after that sunrise (05:39), and ends at 05:10 on Thu 30 Dec, before the next (05:40 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 29 Dec.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 29 Dec arunodaya (04:03–05:39) is Dashami. On Thu 30 Dec it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:10, then Dwadashi): Thu 30 Dec.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Thu 30 Dec, 10:25–18:50 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:10 on Thu 30 Dec to 02:10 on Fri 31 Dec; harivasara ends at 10:25. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:50: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:18, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Fri 31 Dec, 05:40–18:51 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:10 on Fri 31 Dec, in the night, before arunodaya (04:04): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:40, to sunset, 18:51, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
