Nirjala Ekadashi
Nirjala Ekadashi is a Hindu holy day falling on the 11th lunar day (Ekadashi) of the waxing fortnight of the Hindu month of Jyestha (May/June).〔Annual Holidays. (2004). CHAPTER 12: Hinduism In ''Religious Holidays & Calendars''. Retrieved from http://www.credoreference.com/entry/ogirholidays/annual_holidays, Publisher:Omnigraphics, Inc.〕 The ekadashi derives its name from the water-less (''Nir-jala'') fast observed on this day.〔 It is considered as the most austere and hence, most sacred of ekadashis. If observed religiously, it is said the most rewarding and granting the virtue gained by the observance of all 24 ekadshis in the year.〔
==Legend==
Nirjala Ekadashi is also known as Pandava Bhima Ekadashi, or Pandava Nirjala Ekadashi. This name is derived from Bhima, the second and strongest of the five Pandava brothers, heroes of the Hindu epic ''Mahabharata''. The ''Brahma Vaivarta Purana'' narrates the story behind the Nirjala Ekadashi ''vrata'' vow. Bhima, a lover of food, wanted to observe all ekadashi fasts, but could not control his hunger. He approached the sage Vyasa, author of the ''Mahabharata'' and grandfather of the Pandavas for a solution. The sage advised him to observe Nirjala Ekadashi, when for one day in the year, he should observe an absolute fast. Bhima attained the virtue of all 24 ekadashis, by observing Nirjala Ekadashi.〔〔(Glories of Pandava Nirjala Ekadashi ) by ISKCON.〕
