SUMMARY:Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi
DESCRIPTION:Friday 6 June 2025 | Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\nMorning Program (Temple Room)\n4:30am – Mangal Arati\n7:00am – Darshan & Guru Puja\n7:30am – Class \nEvening Program (Temple Room)\n5pm – Kirtan & Glories of Ekadasi\n7pm –  Gaura / Sandhya Arati\n7:30pm – Kirtan\n9pm – Shayan Arati\n9:30pm – Finish \nAbout Ekadasi \nEkadasi is one of the regular celebrations in the Vaishnava calendar. It is observed eleven days after the full moon and eleven days after the new moon of every month. Ekadasi is known as the day of Lord Hari and is said to be the mother of devotion. Keeping the fast on Ekadasi is one of the sixty-four items of devotional service listed in Srila Rupa Gosvami’s Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu. In fact\, it is one of the first ten. \nThe Nectar of Devotion\, Srila Prabhupada’s summary study of Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu\, states\, “In the Brahma-vaivarta Purana it is said that one who observes fasting on Ekadasi day is freed from all kinds of reactions to sinful activities and advances in pious life. The basic principle is not just to fast\, but to increase one’s faith and love for Govinda\, or Krsna. The real reason for observing fasting on Ekadasi is to minimize the demands of the body and to engage our time in the service of the Lord by chanting or performing similar service. The best thing to do on fasting days is to remember the pastimes of Govinda and to hear His holy name constantly.” \nPandava Nirjala Ekadasi \n“Pandava” refers to the Pandavas\, the sons of Emperor Pandu. One such son was Arjuna\, to whom Krishna spoke the Bhagavad-gita. Another son of Pandu was Bhima\, a most powerful warrior and a most voracious eater. He was not one who welcomed fasting\, and admitted to not being able to follow Ekadasi. However\, he was told that if he observed complete fasting on one particular Ekadasi day annually\, he would get all the spiritual benefits of having followed every Ekadasi fast of the year. He and his brothers thus all agreed to fast on that day (Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi). \n“Nirjala” means “no water.” Strict followers of Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi observe a total fast today\, even from water. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Frequently asked questions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill there be parking available?\n\n\n\nYes. Free parking will be available all day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do I get there?\n\n\n\nAddress Bhaktivedanta Manor Hilfield Lane Watford Sat-Nav: WD25 8HE \nNote: Entrance to temple is via Hilfield Lane only. There is no entrance to the temple through Letchmore Heath village. For driving\, use approximate driving postcode WD25 8HE and follow road signs.
