Nirjala Ekadashi Mantra: Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
Meaning: I offer my obeisance to or bow down to Lord Vasudeva or Lord Krishna

Nirjala Ekadashi (2nd June 2020 Tuesday) is the most important and significant out of all the other Ekadashis. This holiest Vedic (Hindu) occasion is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. As per the traditional Hindu calendar Nirjala Ekadashi is observed on the 11th lunar day (or Ekadashi) of the waxing fortnight in the month of Jyestha. Worshippers having family should observe fasting on the first day only. The two-day Ekadashi fasting, is only suggested for the Sanyasis, widows and the people who want Moksha.

All About Nirjala Ekadashi

The meaning of Nir jala is without water or water-less and the fasting on Nirjala Ekadashi is observed without water or any type of food. Because of its strict fasting rules, Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat is the hardest amongst all Ekadashis. The devotees of Lord Vishnu undertake this fast and they do not drink water or any food while fasting on the day. Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat begins on Ekadasi sunrise and ends on the next day (Dwadasi) sunrise.

As per Hindu Beliefs, observing Nirjala Ekadashi is equal to going on pilgrimage. It is believed that after death the worshippers observing this fast are received by messengers from Vaikunta (abode of Vishnu) and not by Yama (the god of death). People who are not able to follow the other twenty four Ekadashi fasts in a year must observe a fast on Nirjala Ekadashi. Observing Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat bestows the blessings and benefits of all twenty four Ekadashi fasting in a year to the worshipper.
