 REMINDER for Apara Ekadashi (22nd May)
The name of this unlimitedly meritorious Ekadashi is Apara Ekadashi. Whoever fasts on this holy day becomes famous all over the universe.
This Ekadashi is so sublime and meritorious that even the greatest sins can be erased by its purity. In other words, Apara Ekadasi is an axe that cuts down the fully matured forest full of trees of sinful deeds, it is a forest fire that burns sins as if they were kindling firewood, it is the sun blazing before one's dark misdeeds, and it is a lion stalking the meek deer of impiety.
Therefore, Oh Yudhishthira, whoever truly fears his past and present sins must observe Apara Ekadasi very strictly. One who does so is freed of all his sins, released from the cycle of births & deaths and promoted to the abode of Lord Vishnu (Vaikuntha).
~~Lord Shri Krishna (Brahmanda Purana)
