FAQs for ISKCON Ekadashi 2025

1. What is Ekadashi in ISKCON and why is it observed?

Ekadashi in ISKCON is the eleventh lunar day dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Devotees observe fasting to increase spiritual purity, reduce material attachments, and strengthen devotion. ISKCON strictly follows Vaishnava rules where grains and beans are avoided. The fast is broken only during Parana time after sunrise on Dwadashi.

2. How many Ekadashi fasts are there in 2025 according to ISKCON?

There are 26 Ekadashi fasts in 2025 as per the ISKCON Vaishnava calendar. Each month includes two Ekadashis: one in Krishna Paksha and one in Gaura Paksha.

3. What foods are prohibited on Ekadashi according to ISKCON rules?

ISKCON prohibits consumption of:

Only Ekadashi-friendly foods like fruits, milk, nuts, vegetables, sago, and water-based preparations are allowed.

4. When should the Ekadashi fast be broken (Parana time) in ISKCON?

Ekadashi fast must be broken within the prescribed Parana time after sunrise on Dwadashi. Breaking fast early, late, or during Hari-Vasara is not permitted. Parana timing varies by city and must be followed precisely.

5. Is Ekadashi different for ISKCON and Smarta traditions?

Yes. ISKCON follows Vaishnava Ekadashi, based on Gaurabda calculations and sunrise-based Parana. Smarta Ekadashi follows different Panchang rules. Therefore, Ekadashi dates and break-fast times may differ.

6. Can ISKCON devotees drink water during Ekadashi fasting?

Yes, water is allowed unless one voluntarily performs Nirjala Ekadashi, which is full fasting without water. Other fasting levels, such as fruit diet or single Ekadashi meal, are also allowed.

7. Which Ekadashi is most important in 2025 for ISKCON followers?

Pandava Nirjala Ekadashi on June 7, 2025, is the most powerful Ekadashi for ISKCON devotees. It offers the combined spiritual benefits of observing all Ekadashis of the year.

8. What are the spiritual benefits of observing Ekadashi fast?

Benefits include:

9. What is allowed to eat the day before Ekadashi according to ISKCON?

Devotees ideally take one meal before sunset, avoiding grains and heavy foods. This ensures the stomach is clean for the actual Ekadashi fast.

10. Why does ISKCON emphasize avoiding grains on Ekadashi?

Grains are prohibited because they are considered spiritually contaminated on Ekadashi due to the influence of the demon Papapurusha residing in grains on that day. Avoiding grains maintains the purity of the fast.

11. How does Ekadashi help spiritually according to scriptures?

Ekadashi increases sattva guna, destroys sins, enhances memory and concentration, and brings the devotee closer to moksha. It is considered one of the easiest and most powerful spiritual practices for householders.

12. How can I get accurate Ekadashi dates and Parana timings for my city?

You can refer to ISKCON-approved Vaishnava calendars or trusted platforms that follow Gaurabda principles. Always ensure the calendar matches Vaishnava Parana rules, not generic Panchang timings.

13. Can pregnant women or elderly people observe Ekadashi fasting?

Yes, but ISKCON allows flexible fasting levels. They may follow water fasting, fruit fasting, or Ekadashi-friendly meals, according to health needs. Fasting should never harm the body.

14. Can Ekadashi be broken early for emergencies?

No. Breaking Ekadashi fast early, late, or outside Parana time is considered improper. If emergencies occur, consult a knowledgeable Vaishnava or follow the best possible timing near the Parana window.

15. Where can I book a qualified Vaishnava Pandit for Ekadashi puja, Vishnu puja, or home rituals?

You can book certified pandits through PanditJionWay.com, which provides trained Vedic pandits for Vishnu Puja, Havan, Jaap, Satyanarayan Katha, and ISKCON-approved rituals.
