With some further research and help from His Holiness Bhanu Swami, we have concluded that there is really no basis in either 1) the scripture, specifically the Hari-bhakti-vilasa, the guidebook for devotional practices compiled by Sanatana Gosvami, or 2) Srila Prabhupada’s instructions, for the idea that if one performs a full nirjala fast on Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi, that will negate any ill effects from having broken Ekadasi over the previous year.

I was contemplating fasting all day on Tuesday. After reading this article by Dravida Prabhu I’ve decided to just steer myself towards my service and fasting from grains and beans, the usual. If I fast all day I won’t get much service done and will spend at least half the next day recovering.
