Significance of Ekadasi

[Kuntimaddi Sadananda]

PraNAms to everybody.

Eka dasi - is 10 + 1. 

The ten stands of - 5 jnaanedriyas and 5 karmendriyas.

Jnaanedriyas are five sense organs.

karmendriyas are five organs of action. 

One who live only at the level is dasha mukha - Ravana. 

One above all this is Ekdadasi 

It is a day of fast -fasting from the over indulgence involving the ten - jnaanedriyas and karmendriyas. 

It is a day of contemplation on the truth diverting their minds from all the sense input - the one who is doing that is the one who is observing the Ekadasi.

Hari Om!

Namaste Sadaji,

Yes, all the 24 Ekadashis are great occasions. The Advains wish to go out of the cycle of birth and death, and to my understanding, the Kartika Shukladashi, or the Bhagavad Gita - Prabodhini Ekadashi is very special for that. On this day Lord  Krishna gave the Bhagavad Gita upadesha to Arjuna.

Jai Shri Krishna
