Ekadashi Fast

Today is 7/8/14 and day to observe Ekadashi Fast with reverence. Ekadashi fasting is observed on every 11th Tithi in Hindu calendar. 

During a month there are two Ekadashi Fast, one in Shukla Paksh & second in Krishna Paksh. Both these fasts are very significant to UR culture. 

Ideally last meal should be taken before 3pm on the previous day of the fast to ensure there is no residual food in the stomach on day of Ekadashi Fast.

Ekadashi Fast can be observed on three levels depending on our individual capacity which must be decided before starting the fast.

A)Either Waterless 

B)Water Inly 

C)Only Fruits 

Eating of all type of grains and cereals is prohibited during Ekadashi fasting

Ekadashi Fasting burn away our worry, anger, jealousy and arrogance which develop in our body due to excess calories, acidity and toxins.

Keeping this fast is very spiritual, healing & enlightening. It gives us social dominance, business growth & wealth benefits. 

During Fasting catabolism starts in our body by release of Glucagon from Pancreas which first consumes the toxins & cancer cells in blood & other body tissue. After this it starts feeding on the fat deposits in our body. 

It should be broken by light meal on the next day after sunrise. Actually, There is a specific Ekadashi fast breaking time prescribed in our Shastras, which is  calculated as per the

"Chandra Dasha or Dwadashi Tithi"
