Vaikuntha Ekadasi question

[Guest guest]

A correspondent asks:

 

Dear Mani,

 

Can you tell me something about the significance of

Vaikunta Ekadashi and how it is supposed to be observed? I assume this is

a day of nirjala also. Is the next day Dwadashi, and when and how is the

fast supposed to be broken?

I ask learned Bhakti List members to reply.

 

Thanks,
