Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat Story
Nirjala Ekadashi is also known as Bhimseni Ekadashi. Its story is also related to Bhima. It is believed that once during the Mahabharata period, Bhima asked Maharishi Ved Vyas ji that without observing Ekadashi fast, how can one get the virtue of fasting on Ekadashi? Maharishi Ved Vyas then advised Bhima to observe Nirjala Ekadashi fast. Vyas ji told the method of this fast to Bhima and said that during this fast food and water are completely abandoned. Along with this, fasting of Ekadashi should be done as per rules on the date of Paran Dwadashi. By doing this one gets the fruits of all Ekadashi fasts. At the behest of Vyas ji, Bhima completed the fast of Nirjala Ekadashi beforehand and became free from all kinds of sins.
