Why does Ekadashi fall on these dates?
The next one, Fri 20 Nov, in Upper Dir
Smarta · For Smartas, Dev Uthani Ekadashi is on Fri 20 Nov: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 21 Nov.
Dashami until 06:46, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. 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 holds sunrise on Fri 20 Nov only, at 06:51: Fri 20 Nov.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 20 Nov Dashami lasts until 06:46, inside arunodaya (05:15–06:51), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 06:02, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 21 Nov: Sat 21 Nov.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 21 Nov, 11:38–17:03 (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, 17:03: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:54, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sun 22 Nov, 06:53–17:02 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 04:27 on Sun 22 Nov, in the night, before arunodaya (05:17): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:53, to sunset, 17:02, 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).
