Nirjala Ekadasi.
Pranam all
Happy Nirjala Ekadasi or popularly known as Bhima Ekadasi
Good luck to those who observe it fully.
Nirjala Ekadsahi is associated with a legend of Bhima the second eldest brother of Pandava, who was popular for his power and strength. Bhima always wanted to observe fast. Due to his strong body and love towards food he could not succeed to resist himself against food during ekadashi fast. This all made ekadashi fast difficult for him.
Sage Vyasa showed Bhima a solution for the problem by advising him to observe single tough fast on ekadashi, once in a year. That single ekadashi was the ekadashi of Jyestha Shukla paksh as it has the benefits of observing all the 24 Ekadasis and tough fast included no water and food consumption for all 24 hours of ekadashi. Thus Bhim was able to get the benefits of all Ekadasis by observing Nirjala Ekadasi.
Jai Shree Krishna
