Ekadashi is a day of religious fasting, which according to the Vedic calendar occurs on the eleventh lunar day, and in classical astrology - on the day when the sunrise coincides with the eleventh lunar day. To get a schedule of these days for 2020, you can make independent calculations according to the lunar calendar or use the specially compiled Ekadashi calendar for 2020.
Application
It is believed that during Ekadashi, food is filled with all human sins, and its use increases the amount of negative energy in the body. If on this day partially or completely refuse food, then you can "burn" the negative karma and achieve liberation (enlightenment). From the point of view of dietetics, these periods are ideal for weight loss, and therefore many nutritionists strongly recommend cleaning and unloading on such a calendar.
The onset of Ekadashi is tied to the time of sunrise, so in different cities its dates may vary. But if you know the Ekadashi calendar for 2020 for Moscow and the time difference, then you can easily determine the fasting days for any other locality. So, in St. Petersburg, the sun rises almost the same, and in Vladivostok and Khabarovsk, new days come 7 hours earlier.
