Re: Ekadashi dates (fwd)
From the Bhakti List Archives

With all this talk of dates, could someone tell me what is the 'actual' reason behind following ekadashi? I have heard various reasons like eating (esp. grains) causes accumulation of karma, the Lord likes us to fast, etc. etc. None very convincing tho from a jnana/bhakti perspective. Brihadaranyaka says something to the effect that people try to know Him thru austerities, fasting, etc. and knowing Him, one becomes a 'muni', but that can be applied to any fasting not just ekadashi. I have been following it for some time now but it becomes a real problem when out on business trips. I'm concerned about tommorow since I am leaving right now and this came up on a very short notice :-( -Manish
