The day
The Bhagavad Gita is held to have been spoken on this Ekadashi; recitation of the eighteen chapters, the Ekadashi fast, and daan mark it. Mokshada — 'giver of liberation' — is also the Ekadashi kept for departed ancestors.
Jupiter and the Gita
Study, scripture and the guru are Jupiter's; Margashirsha is the month Krishna names as himself in the Gita. For a chart where Jupiter is weak, retrograde or in a dusthana, this Ekadashi's reading and daan are the classical remedy. The full list of the year's Ekadashis is on the Ekadashi dates 2026–27 page.
