June 10 at 07:25 am – June 11 at 05:45 am.
Tirupati astrologer Dr Krishna Kumar Bhargava says that fasting on this day and worshiping Lord Vishnu gives the fruits of all Ekadashi fasts throughout the year. Must listen to Nirjala Ekadashi fasting story on this day.
Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat Story:
Once Bhima told Ved Vyas ji that his mother and brother suggested to observe a fast on Ekadashi. He said that he can do pooja, charity etc., but he cannot stay hungry for the whole day.
On this Ved Vyas ji said that Bhima, if you know about hell and heaven, then do not eat every month on both Ekadashi. Bhima said that if there is one fast throughout the year, he can keep it, and he cannot fast every month.
He asked Ved Vyas ji whether fasting for only one day in a whole year leads to heaven. Vyas ji said that Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi i.e. Nirjala Ekadashi was such a fast, which Bhima could observe.
It is forbidden to drink water during this fast. If one does not take water from the sunrise of Nirjala Ekadashi till the sunrise of Dwadashi, then by observing this fast one gets the virtue of fasting throughout the year.
On the day of Dwadashi, take a bath after sunrise, donate some food and clothes to Brahmins, feed the hungry and thus this Ekadashi fast is completed. The fruit of this Nirjala Ekadashi fast is more than the merit of all charity and pilgrimages.
Hearing Vyas ji, Bhimsen agreed to observe Nirjala Ekadashi fast. He observed Nirjala Ekadashi fast. Because of this it came to be known as Bhimseni Ekadashi or Pandava Ekadashi.
