అపరా ఏకాదశి 2027
Jyeshtha Bahula Ekadashi — Krishna Paksha in Jyeshtha; pre-Nirjala Ekadashi · Achala Ekadashi / Bhadrakali Ekadashi · Parana window 2 Jun 05:23 – 08:12 IST · Dwadashi ends 2 Jun 09:12 IST (Hyderabad) — SHORT parana window
Apara Ekadashi 2027 (also called Achala Ekadashi / Bhadrakali Ekadashi) falls on Tuesday, 1 June 2027. From the Brahmanda Purana — Yudhishthira asked Krishna about this Ekadashi and Krishna revealed that observing Apara Ekadashi grants "aparimita" (immeasurable / limitless) punya — hence the name. Krishna narrated that observing this Ekadashi cleanses even hidden karmic-debts unknown to the observer (accidental killing of insects, unintentional insults, forgotten oaths, ancestor-negligence). Also called Achala Ekadashi (unmoving / firm) because it grants unshakable steadiness of mind. Falls immediately before Nirjala Ekadashi — the two together are a powerful Jyeshtha-cleanse pair. Primary observance: Ekadashi vrat (fasting), Vishnu Sahasranama + Apara Vrata Katha (Brahmanda Purana) recitation, hidden-karmic-debt sankalpa (dedicating vrat to unknown sins), Tulasi puja, ghee lamp offering, night jagaran with Vishnu bhajans, parana in SHORT Dwadashi window (parana MUST end by 09:12 IST — set alarm). Recommended muhurat: Parana window 2 Jun 05:23 – 08:12 IST · Dwadashi ends 2 Jun 09:12 IST (Hyderabad) — SHORT parana window.
