Why does Ekadashi fall on these dates?
The next one, Fri 20 Nov, in Gilgit
Smarta · For Smartas, Dev Uthani Ekadashi is on Fri 20 Nov: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 21 Nov.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:46. Ekadashi: 06:46 to 06:02 Sat.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:02; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:46 Fri to 06:02.
One row per day, on one clock (PKT). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:46 on Fri 20 Nov, after that sunrise (06:43), and ends at 06:02 on Sat 21 Nov, before the next (06:44 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 20 Nov.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 20 Nov arunodaya (05:07–06:43) is Dashami. On Sat 21 Nov it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 06:02, then Dwadashi): Sat 21 Nov.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 21 Nov, 11:38–16:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:02 on Sat 21 Nov to 04:27 on Sun 22 Nov; harivasara ends at 11:38. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 16:52: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:46, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sun 22 Nov, 06:45–16:51 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 04:27 on Sun 22 Nov, in the night, before arunodaya (05:09): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:45, to sunset, 16:51, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Kartika Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
- Smarta
- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
