A guided devotional practice · RadhaKrishna.io
One companion for every Ekadashi of the year — a story, a vrat guide, a parana time for your city, and a recipe, unlocked one sacred day at a time. Nothing to finish. Nothing to fall behind on.
The 2027 cycle begins Saturday, January 2, 2027 — Saphala Ekadashi, and runs the full calendar year to Saphala Ekadashi again on December 23, 2027. Join anytime before then; everyone starts together.
Not alone in this
Join a schoolteacher in Jaipur, a night-shift nurse in Toronto, a retired army officer, a mother folding laundry between fasts, and a man who first learned to chant in a hospital waiting room — for 25 Ekadashis of prayer, one sacred day at a time.
You won't just read about the fast — you'll keep it beside someone new each station. Not just people whose lives look like yours: a bus driver who prays at red lights, a widow who found her voice again through kirtan, a student who almost gave up and didn't. Hear how Ekadashi found them, what keeps them coming back, and then keep it with them.
This isn't a habit you're building alone. It's Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa making room for themselves in a year that was already full — twenty-five times over.
How each Ekadashi unfolds
The gamification isn't a leaderboard — it's the tradition itself. Every Ekadashi already comes as a three-day arc; the Sathi simply gives each day a place to show up.
A short reading on the coming Ekadashi, a one-meal reminder, and the prep checklist — what to buy, what to set aside.
The katha — in audio or video, your choice — your vrat level's do/avoid list, the naam-jaap counter, and an evening aarti to close the day.
Your city's parana window, the phalahar recipe for the day, and a one-line reflection before you return to routine.
Across the year
No tiers, no titles, no naming what stage you're at. One tulsi, growing a leaf at a time. Each kept Ekadashi adds a leaf; a missed one never strips one away — it just waits, ready to be kept late. By the twelfth month, kept in full, the plant carries every Ekadashi of your year — 24 in most years, 25 in this one.
Shown here partway through a year, for illustration. Your own plant starts bare on your first Ekadashi and fills in only as you keep each one — never on a calendar's say-so.
Full tulsi = a year of Ekadashis kept, at whatever pace it happened.
The year ahead
Only the next Ekadashi is open. The rest are visible so you can see the year coming, but stay locked until their own morning arrives.
Dates above are drawn from RadhaKrishna.io's own Vaishnava (Gaudiya) panchang for the full 2027 calendar year (January 2 – December 23), cross-checked against the ISKCON Ekadashi calendar, and differ from the Smarta calendar on some Ekadashis. If your family keeps the Smarta date, your Sathi can be set to that calendar instead — every station still opens on your day. 2027 carries 25 Ekadashis rather than the usual 24 — the promise is every Ekadashi in your year, not a fixed count — and the email for each station always carries the exact, location-adjusted parana time. The January–August dates are drawn from our own verified panchang records; the September–December dates were freshly researched against independent Vaishnava calendar sources and we recommend a quick cross-check against your own temple's panchang before relying on them for a group vrat.
Before you begin — a readiness check
The Sathi opens with a short simulation like this one, so your first vrat level fits your body and your calendar, not a stranger's.
It's Ekadashi morning. Your team has booked a client lunch you can't skip.
Join the Yatra
A single payment
Your journey begins at your very next Ekadashi and unlocks on every real date for a full year — 24 stations in most years, 25 in this one.
