Margashirsh #MokshadaEkadashi
On #ThisDay Shri Krishna gave Geeta Gyaan to Arjun. #GeetaJayanti

This Ekadashi is known as Chinta Mani-Mukti Dvaar, become one with Krishna, chant:
ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय।

So what’s the science behind #Ekadashi 1/n

Ekaadasha = 11
The 11th lunar day of both lunar phases, Shukl paksh (brightening moon) & Krishna paksh (fading moon),is Ekadashi
During Shukl Paksh the moon appears 3/4 full & during Krishna paksh it appears 3/4 dark.
There’re 24 #Ekadashi s in year, 2 more in the leap year
2/n

Due to the orbital path combination of the sun,moon & the earth
the air pressure in atmosphere changes to extremes on both poornima & amavasya
as can be seen in tidal waves which are rough & high but calm on the next day indicating the decreased pressure
#SwargVathilEkadashi
3/n

Since the atmospheric pressure’s the lowest on Ekadashi , our vaigyanik Rishis chose it as the best time to detoxifying & cleanse the digestive system.
To recharge your mind & give some rest to your digestive system twice a month, observe a fast on #Ekadashi

Stay away from grains, oil, cooked food, have only fruit, nuts, milk/ curd
You will automatically be more prayerful & grateful, every time your mind is drawn towards food, you’ll be reminded of #Ekadashi & hence smaran of Shri Vishnu
#SwargVathilEkadashi #VaikunthaEkadashi
4/n

Those who haven’t gone to bed yet & are reading this,
invoke Shri Hari with me, bow down to all Rishis/ Brahmans & sit in Jaagaran Dhyaan or devotedly chant Dwadasakshari Mantra.
Om Namo Bhagvate Vasudevay
