The Vaisnava year is based on a lunar calendar
rather than a solar calendar. This means that the dates of the festivals
vary from year to year.
One of the features of Vaisnavism is the high
number of festivals in the year. Festivals provide an opportunity
to remember Krishna and His devotees and to increase one's spiritual
practice. The year's major festivals are marked by fasting, usually
followed by feasting.
Every calendar (solar) month there are two
Ekadasis. The Sanskrit word Ekadasi literally means eleven. Ekadasi
is the eleventh of the fifteen-day lunar month. In one of the lunar
months (called the light month) the moon grows from new moon to
full moon and in the following lunar month (called dark month) it
diminishes from full moon to no-moon. The light Ekadasi occurs on
the eleventh day of the waxing moon, and the dark Ekadasi occurs
on the eleventh day of the waning moon. It is recommended that all
Vaisnavas should fast on this day of Ekadasi. Such austerity will
be greatly beneficial for their devotional life.
