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 Sun 3 Jan?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Sun 3 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 14:24.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 14:24 Sat to 16:08.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 3 Jan only, at 07:12: Sun 3 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 14:24 Sat, before it (05:36–07:12).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 4 Jan, 07:12–18:13 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:08 on Sun 3 Jan to 18:16 on Mon 4 Jan; harivasara ends at 22:40 Sun. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 4 Jan, 07:12. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:13: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:24.
Why Thu 23 Dec?
