One such important observance is Mohini Ekadashi, which falls during the Shukla Paksha of the month of Vaishakh. In 2025, devotees observed Mohini Ekadashi on Thursday, 8 May. The fast is to be broken on the following day, Friday, 9 May 2025.

The ritual of breaking the Ekadashi fast is known as Parana, which is to be done the next day after sunrise and must be completed before the Dwadashi (12th lunar day) tithi ends. If Dwadashi ends before sunrise, the Parana must still be performed after sunrise. Scriptures state that failing to break the fast within the Dwadashi tithi is considered a sin and can displease Lord Vishnu.

Moreover, Parana must not be done during Hari Vasara, the first quarter of the Dwadashi tithi. Devotees are advised to wait until Hari Vasara ends before breaking their fast.

Parana Timing For Mohini Ekadashi:

  • Parana Time: 5:34 AM to 8:16 AM
  • Dwadashi Tithi Ends: 2:56 PM

The most auspicious time to break the fast is during the early morning hours. However, if one is unable to perform Parana in the morning, it can be done after midday, but before the Dwadashi tithi concludes. Devotees must follow the correct procedure and timing to ensure the spiritual benefits of this auspicious observance are fully attained.
