Why is Yogini Ekadashi on Thu 30 Jun or Fri 1 Jul in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Yogini Ekadashi is on Thu 30 Jun: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 1 Jul.
Dashami until 04:29, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:29 to 01:44 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 01:44; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:29 Thu to 01:44.
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 holds sunrise on Thu 30 Jun only, at 05:32: Thu 30 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 30 Jun Dashami lasts until 04:29, inside arunodaya (03:56–05:32), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 01:44, so Vaishnavas fast on Fri 1 Jul: Fri 1 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 1 Jul, 07:01–20:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:44 on Fri 1 Jul to 22:53 on Fri 1 Jul; harivasara ends at 07:01. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:33.
Vaishnava · Sat 2 Jul, 05:33–20:34 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 22:53 Fri on Sat 2 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (03:57): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:33, to sunset, 20:34, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
