How 2 read your 2010 Hindu calendar
Many have asked us to compile an article on the Hindu calendar for example what are the Festivals dates, Ekadashi, Panchak, Rahu kalam and Eclipse?
Firstly the Festival dates are the dates that Hindu observes. This is quite self explanatory. For example for Shree Ganesh Chaturthi, we have a full explanation of this very important festival date on our website. Many ask what is this festival all about and how do we go about celebrating it ...hence this website is meant to make people from all cultures more aware of these important Hindu festival dates. We have included a few more festival dates below that are not generally on the typical Hindu calendar.

Kamika Ekadashi 6th August...
On 6th August (Friday) is Kamika Ekadashi
Please have your last grain meal on Thursday night.
The times to break your fast with grains is on Saturday morning
Between 06h36 – 10h13 (Durban)
Fasting on Ekadashi (comes twice a month). One should not consume any grains or meat on this day. Lord Krishna says that if a person fasts on Ekadashi, “I will burn up all his sins. Indeed this day is the most meritorious day for destroying all kinds of sins.” In the three worlds, there is no kind of fasting, which is even comparable to the Ekadashi fast. Even if one performs this fast without a proper attitude, he achieves the Lords Supreme Abode. Anyone who fasts on Ekadashi, with full devotion, the merit one receives cannot be compared to anything else in the three worlds.
