Regarding ekadasi:

 

The 9th anga of sadhana is harivas-sammano "Respecting the days of Hari" In

illustration, Rupa Goswami quotes (BRS 1.2.109)

 

9 – hari-vAsara-sammAno yathA brahma-vaivarte –

sarva-pApa-prashamanaM puNyam AtyantikaM tathA |

govinda-smAraNaM nRNAm ekadashy AmupoSaNam ||109||

 

9 – Respecting the Holy Days of Hari

 

Brahma-Vaivarta PurANa: “Ekadashi destroys all a person’s sin, bestows

limitless piety, and causes them to remember Govinda.”

 

Thus, there are three aspects mentioned here to following ekadasi (1) removal

of bad karma, (2) gain of good karma, and (3) remembrance of Govinda.
