Ekadashi Dates
Ekadashi, the eleventh day of the lunar cycle, is considered the most spiritually potent day for fasting in Vedic tradition. It is said that "Among all fasts, Ekadashi is the supreme." Observing this fast cleanses the mind and soul, bringing one closer to the Divine.

SPIRITUAL STORY
The legend of Ekadashi traces back to a battle between the Devas and the demon Mura. From the body of Lord Vishnu emerged a goddess, Ekadashi Devi, who defeated Mura. Pleased, the Lord granted her the boon that anyone who fasts on her day will be liberated from the cycle of birth and death.
