All righty, so how is it that the calendar here says Ekadasi was today (well, yesterday, Thursday), and the one Madan Gopal made says it was Wednesday?

I've been living on fruit for two days!

Wednesday my coworkers said the fast was on dvadasi, I check on TV and it coincides, so i ate some grains at night. Today I've fasted again, I go to see the parana on Madan's calendar, and it says it was this morning!

I use to follow calendar from this site http://www.iskcongbc.org/vcal/Traditional....mp;Gaurabda=522

I don't know what kind of version of calendar he has but according to this calendar Dvadasi was 25 (Th) and it was the day for fasting. If there is any better version to use I surely will follow

Madan Gopal made different versions of calendar for devotees from different parts of the world. Maybe you took one that was meant for Europe?
