About Jaya Ekadashi
Jaya means "victory". It is also called Bhishma Ekadashi, remembered for the Vishnu Sahasranama taught by Bhishma, and is observed for protection and inner victory.
How it is observed
- Grains (rice, wheat, pulses) and beans are traditionally avoided; fruit, milk, nuts, sabudana and kuttu are common.
- Many avoid onion, garlic, meat and alcohol, and keep the day for prayer, japa and reading scripture.
- The fast is broken the next morning (Parana) within the Parana window, after sunrise and before Dwadashi ends.
