List of Ekaadashee

Read about all these Ekaadashee in Padm Puraan, Uttar Khand. Only Shraavan, Bhaadrapad, Aashwin and Kaartik Krishn Ekaadashe are good for Grihasth people, not the other Krishn Ekaadashe. All Shukla Paksh Ekaadashee should be observed. The Vratee should leave these 10 things on Dashamee - Kaansaa pot, Urad, black lentils, Chanaa, Kodon (buckwheat), vegetables, honey, other's food, two times food, and sexual relationship; and leave these 11 things on Ekaadashee - gambling, sleeping, chewing betel leaf, using toothbrush, telling bad about others, telling about other behind their back, stealing, Hinsaa, sexual relationship, anger and telling lie; and these 12 things on Dwaadashee - Kaansaa pot, Urad, liquor, honey, oil, talking to fallen people, exercise, going outside the city, two times food, sexual relationship, riding on bull's back, and black lentils. This is the method of observing this Ekaadashee Vrat. Who is afraid of Yam Raaj, he must do this Vrat.
[Padm Puraan. 5/5]

Other Krishn Paksh Ekaadashees are not good for Grihasth people. They should do only Shukla Paksh Ekaadashees.
[Naarad Puraan, p 554-556]
