Ekadashi fast is observed on the 11th date of Krishna Paksha and Shukla Paksha of every month and in this way there are a total of 24 Ekadashi dates in the whole year. Among all the Ekadashi, the fast of Nirjala Ekadashi is considered to be the most difficult and virtuous fruitful. On following the rules of Nirjala Ekadashi fast with reverence, all 24 Ekadashi fasts get fruits.

Along with worship and fast on Nirjala Ekadashi, many strict rules have to be followed, due to which this fast is considered more painful. Let us know the 5 rules of Nirjala Ekadashi fast, due to which this fast is considered to be the most difficult in other Ekadashi fasts.

In Nirjala Ekadashi, along with food, water has to be sacrificed, due to which it was named ‘Nirjala Ekadashi’ Nirjala i.e. without water. During the fast, even a drop of water does not have to be accepted throughout the day, otherwise the fast can be fragmented.

Other Ekadashi fasts have rules of fruit or Jalahar. But Nirjala Ekadashi is such a fast, in which consumption of grains, fruits or fruit juices is also completely forbidden.

Nirjala Ekadashi fast is observed when the brilliant summer of Jyeshtha month falls. In such a situation, keeping this fast without consuming food and water is physically more painful for the fasts.

In Nirjala Ekadashi, along with sacrificing food and water, one has to keep pure with mind and word. Do not treat anyone badly on this day. Keep restraint on speech, stay away from debate and do not say meaningless things to anyone. Therefore, Nirjala Ekadashi is considered a symbol of self -restraint.

Brahmacharya should be followed during the fast on the day of Nirjala Ekadashi. Therefore, this fast is also considered a symbol of self-control. On this day, instead of sleeping at night, one should do night awakening and spend time in bhajan-kirtan. This gives the grace of God.
