Nirjala Ekadashi 2022: Nirjala Ekadashi happens to be fast which is celebrated on the Ekadashi date of Jyeshtha Shukla. This time the fast of Nirjala Ekadashi is being observed on June 10. Drinking water is considered taboo during this fast, hence it is called Nirjala Ekadashi. It is also known as Bhimsen Ekadashi, Pandava Ekadashi and Bhima Ekadashi. There are two Ekadashis in every month, one in Krishna Paksha and the other in Shukla Paksha. Those who wish to have good children should fast on the Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha for one year. By observing the fast of Ekadashi, Shri Hari gets pleased with his devotees and showers his grace on them.
It is believed that fasting without water on the day of Nirjala Ekadashi gives desired results. It is said that a person who cannot fast on all Ekadashis of the year can also take advantage of other Ekadashis by fasting on this Ekadashi. Let us know the date, shubh muhurat and pooja vidhi of Nirjala Ekadashi.
