Sri Narayana Yatindra Mahadesikaya Nama:

This time Ekadasi vradam for cities in continental USA falls
on different days. The vradam must be observed on Monday
April 8th for most of the cities east of Mississippi, and on
Sunday April 7th for most of the cities west of the river.
This is due to the fact Ekadasi begins close to the sun rise.
We need to be careful with the computations due to the change
in time this Sunday from Standard time to Daylight savings time.

The following summary of the computations is based on sudda
vAkya panjangam and the nirnayam rules given in the "Kelvi-bathil"
boom by Sri Melpakkam Narasimhachariyar Swami published by
Sri Visihtadvaita Research Centre.
