Ekadashi Tithi (एकादशी)

Krishna Paksha

Eleventh lunar day - most sacred to Lord Vishnu and spiritual purification. Both Shukla and Krishna Ekadashi are highly revered for fasting. Brings spiritual merit, mental clarity, and detachment from material pleasures. The day is meant for devotion, not worldly pursuits. Special Ekadashis: Nirjala (strictest fast), Putrada (for progeny), Mokshada (for liberation), Gita Jayanti. Fasting on Ekadashi purifies body and mind. Avoid material activities, business transactions, and worldly pleasures. Focus entirely on spiritual practices.
