LORD SRI KRISHNA SAID ... |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
"I do not become as pleased by sacrifice or charity as I do by My devotees observance of a full fast on Ekadasi. To the best of one’s ability, therefore, one should fast on Ekadasi, the day of Lord Hari. Upon anyone who observes it, Ekadasi bestows material enjoyment in this life and liberation after the death of this present body. It destroys the sins of all and saves people from the miseries of repeated rebirth. " |

"Oh my child Jaimini, therefore the lunar day of Ekadasi is the self same form of the Supreme Lord, Vishnu, and the Supersoul within the heart of the living entities. Sri Ekadasi is the utmost pious activity and is situated as the head among all vows. It is definately necessary that one give up eating grains on Ekadasi. I very strongly say again and again, 'On Ekadasi, don't eat grains, don't eat grains, don't eat grains!' |

LOMASA RISHI SAID ... |

|
|

"Oh lion among men, this Ekadasi also awards the eight perfections of life, fulfils all kinds of desires, purifies one's life of all sinful reactions, and makes a person perfectly virtuous. Thus, Oh king, the great benefit of fasting on Ekadasi is that whoever does so with faith and devotion will have all his sins completely destroyed." |

SRI SUTA GOSWAMI SAID ... |

|
|
|
| |
"It was to the devoted Yudhisthira that Lord Krishna glorified the twenty-four primary Ekadasis, which destroy sin. Great-learned sages have selected these twenty-four narrations from the eighteen Puranas, for they are truly sublime." |
