Lord Shiva, in the Shiva Purana, declares, that the eleventh day of the lunar cycle (Shukla Ekadashi), is the auspicious day to fast and to worship The Supreme Lord Vishnu. It is because Ekadashi is one of the dear most devotees of the Lord.


Fasting on Ekadashi helps to maintain a natural flow of fluids in the body and helps to maintain good health and a peaceful mind. Scientifically, fasting also helps to improve the functions of digestion, respiration, and circulation.


The fortnightly Ekadashi fasting accompanied by healthy eating improves insulin responsiveness, lowers blood cholesterol and prolongs life span. It helps improve the mental stability of people suffering from anxiety and depression.
