    Observe Ekadashi-vrata to Please the Supreme Lord Only

    Srila Gurudev narrates the benefits of observing Ekadashi and adds that observing Ekadashi-vrata in Dham or in the association of devotees gives the highest benefit. He reasons that in scriptures materialistic benefits are mentioned for observing Ekadashi-vrata, is only to attract general class of people who are attached to worldly things to somehow or the other observe Ekadashi vrata and attain real eternal benefit which is to get the loving service of Supreme Lord Sri Krishna. Later, Srila Gurudev sings the Kirtan, ‘atma nivedan tuwa pade kari’, of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and explains its meaning.
