About this episode

The episode discusses the significance of Nirjala Ekadashi and its benefits in the context of purification and Vedic practices.

In Kali-yuga—the age of quarrel and hypocrisy, when Vedic principles are diminished or greatly restricted, and when proper charity, ancient Vedic practices, and sacred ceremonies are rarely observed—how can people become purified? The scriptures give us a simple and merciful opportunity: by observing Ekadashi, one can become freed from the reactions of past sins. (Brahma-vaivarta Purana) 🕊️This is the most powerful of all Ekadashis—Nirjala Ekadashi, meaning "without water." Observing this fast strictly is said to bestow the same benefit as observing all 24 Ekadashis of the year.
