Fasting for Parsva Ekadasi

Parsva Ekadasi, also called Parivartini Ekadasi, marks the point in Caturmasya when Lord Vishnu is said to turn to His other side in yoga-nidra.

Significance of this day

The day is connected with Lord Vamanadeva and Bali Maharaja and encourages renewed determination in one's devotional vows during Caturmasya.

How it is observed at ISKCON Asansol

• Devotees fast from grains and beans, worship Lord Vishnu or Vamanadeva, chant more attentively, and break the fast at the stated time on Dvadasi.

Dates follow the authentic Gaudiya Vaishnava calendar observed at ISKCON Mayapur, calculated for our region. Timings for fasting and breaking the fast are announced at the temple.
