Why does Ekadashi fall on these dates?
The next one, Thu 5 Nov, in Rustenburg
Rama Ekadashi is on Thu 5 Nov: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:33. Ekadashi: 07:33 to 07:06 Thu.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 07:33 Wed to 07:06.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 5 Nov only, at 05:19: Thu 5 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 07:33 Wed, before it (03:43–05:19).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 6 Nov, 05:19–07:01
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:06 on Thu 5 Nov to 07:01 on Fri 6 Nov; harivasara ends at 13:04 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 6 Nov, 05:19.
The rule
Kartika Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Ashwina Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)
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).
