17 Juuly, 2024 – Shayana Ekadashi

ISKCON Ekadashi rules are similar to Vaishnava Ekadashi rules. However, dates and Parana time are calculated based on Gaurabda Calendar rules mentioned in GCAL program mostly followed by all ISKCON temples.

Some of points which are important to note that, Maha Dwadashi fasting prevails over Ekadashi fasting. Whenever, Ekadashi and Maha Dwadashi fasting are consecutive, ISKCON temples, rather observe fasting on Ekadashi day observe it on Maha Dwadashi day. In other words Shuddha Ekadashi fasting is abandoned due to importance of fasting on Maha Dwadashi day.
