ISKCON Ekadashi Tithi in 2025

According to the Hindu calendar, Ekadashi Tithi comes twice in every month—one in Shukla Paksha and the other in Krishna Paksha. This day is considered especially important for fasting and worshipping Lord Vishnu. Ekadashi Tithi holds immense religious significance for the followers of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness). They observe fast on this day and perform special prayers to receive the blessings of Lord Vishnu.

Importance of ISKCON Ekadashi Vrat

The purpose of Ekadashi Vrat is to surrender to Lord Vishnu and his incarnations by renouncing material desires. Observing this fast leads to mental peace, spiritual advancement, and salvation. ISKCON devotees try to please Lord Krishna through fasting and devotion on this day.

ISKCON Ekadashi Vrat Procedure

• One day before the fast (Dashami Tithi)
• Devotees eat only satvik food once in the afternoon.
• They ensure that there is no leftover food in the stomach the next day.

On Ekadashi Tithi

• Devotees take a vow to fast in front of an idol or picture of Lord Vishnu after taking a bath in the morning.
• Japa (chanting mantras) of the names of Lord Krishna and Vishnu are chanted, such as "Hare Krishna, Hare Rama".
• Strict fasting is observed on this day and consumption of any kind of grain is forbidden.

Types of fasts

• Nirjala Vrat: Fasting without water.
• Jal Vrat: Consumption of only water.
• Falahar Vrat: Consumption of only fruits.
• One time meal: Eating one time meal according to the fasting material.
• Devotees choose the type of fast according to their physical capacity.

Paran of the fast on Dwadashi Tithi
