Dvadasi: period to break fast

Dvadasi: period to break fast
Dvadasi is the day following Ekadasi and marks the prescribed time to properly break the fast. Observing the correct parana time is an essential part of Ekadasi vrata and is considered highly pleasing to Lord Vishnu. This careful observance reflects discipline and obedience to scriptural instructions.
At ISKCON Durham, devotees honor Dvadasi by respectfully breaking their fast with prasadam within the given time window. This day reminds devotees that devotional practices should be performed with sincerity, attention, and gratitude. Proper observance of Ekadasi and Dvadasi strengthens spiritual life and deepens one’s connection with the Lord.
