Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat Katha-
It is a matter of ancient times that once Bhima told Ved Vyas ji that his mother and all the brothers suggest fasting on Ekadashi, but where is it possible for him to do pooja and not stay hungry in the fast.
On this, Ved Vyas ji said that Bhima, if you know about hell and heaven, then do not take food on the eleventh day of every month. Then Bhima said that no one fast can be observed in the whole year, can it? It is not possible to fast every month because they feel very hungry.
Bhima requested Ved Vyas ji, there should be such a fast, which is to stay for only one day in a whole year and it leads to the attainment of heaven. Then Vyas ji told Bhima about the Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Jyeshtha month. It is forbidden to take food and water during Nirjala Ekadashi fast. After bathing on Dwadashi, one should bathe and donate food to Brahmins and then fast should be broken. One who observes this fast attains salvation after death.
After listening to the words of Ved Vyas, Bhimsen agreed to fast on Nirjala Ekadashi. He observed Nirjala Ekadashi fast. Hence it came to be called Bhimseni Ekadashi or Pandava Ekadashi.
