Questions

Rules from the Nirṇaya-sindhu, with the page for each.

When is Yogini Ekadashi in 2027?

In Delhi, on Wednesday, 30 June 2027. The Ekadashi tithi runs from Tue 29 Jun, 22:04 to Wed 30 Jun, 20:31, IST.

What is Yogini Ekadashi also called?

The Ekādaśī-māhātmya (Banaras, 1934) names it Yoginī. Ekādaśī-māhātmya (1934), f. 80b

Which month is Yogini Ekadashi in?

It is a Krishna Ekadashi. Where the month ends at the full moon (purnimanta) it falls in Ashadha; where the month ends at the new moon (amanta), in Jyeshtha. The name belongs to the fortnight, so both describe the same day.

When do I break the Yogini Ekadashi fast?

In Delhi, Thu 1 Jul, 05:27 – 08:14: the first three muhūrtas after sunrise, before Dvādaśī ends at 18:15. Dharmasindhu p. 19

Why are there two dates for some Ekadashis?

The texts test the Ekadashi day for Dashami, the tithi before it. Smārtas test at sunrise; Vaiṣṇavas test the 96 minutes before sunrise, called aruṇodaya. When Ekadashi or Dvadashi runs long, or Ekadashi touches no sunrise, each tradition keeps its own day. Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 53⁠–⁠63

How the days are found

Read the methodology
Sunrise
At the centre of the Sun’s disc, with refraction, for the chosen city. Every date is that city’s own.
The Dashami tests
Smārta: Dashami at sunrise. Vaiṣṇava (Nirṇaya-sindhu): Dashami at any moment in the 96 minutes before sunrise.
Running long
A tithi runs long when it is still current at the sunrise after its own day: Ekādaśī at the second day's sunrise, Dvādaśī at the third's, counting from the first Ekādaśī day (our reading of Nirnaya-sindhu pp. 59-62).
Pāraṇa
The first three muhūrtas after sunrise, once Hari-vāsara (Dvādaśī’s first quarter) is over and before Dvādaśī ends; else the afternoon, never midday; on Trayodaśī if no Dvādaśī is left. Dharmasindhu p. 19; Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 70⁠–⁠71.
