Fasting for Pasankusa Ekadasi

Pasankusa Ekadasi is dedicated to Lord Padmanabha and is observed for purification, devotion and progress toward the Lord's shelter.

Significance of this day

The vrata's traditional narration praises worship of Lord Vishnu with fasting, remembrance and charity, directing the mind away from temporary enjoyment toward bhakti.

How it is observed at ISKCON Asansol

• Devotees avoid grains and beans, chant additional rounds, hear the Ekadasi narration and break the fast within the prescribed Dvadasi period.

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.
