Fasting for Utthana Ekādaśī
November 20
Location: Jackson, Michigan (local time)
Why we observe: Ekādaśī is a sacred day for deepening devotion through simplified living, extra chanting, and hearing/reading about Kṛṣṇa.
Details:
Parāṇa (break fast) — 07:30 (sunrise) – 10:42 (1/3 of daylight) LT
Standard ISKCON-style observance (online):
– Morning: extra japa (add 4 rounds if possible), short reading (Bhagavad-gītā / Bhāgavatam)
– Evening (60–90 min): kīrtan (20 min) → class/discussion (25–35 min) → closing prayers
– Food: Ekādaśī-friendly (no grains/beans). Keep it simple & sattvic.
