Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi

Nirjala Ekadasi occurs during the Jyestha (May/June) month and a description of this fantastically gracious day is found in the Brahma-vaivarta Purana. On this day, one must abstain from any eating or drinking. One who reads or hears the narration of the boundless glories of this Ekadasi with devotion, goes back to the spiritual abode. The result one attains by observing the vow of Amavasya conjoined with Pratipada and offering oblations to the forefathers during a solar eclipse is attained by hearing the glories of this brilliantly effulgent gemstone jewel, Nirjala Ekadasi.
