As is obtained :& in general :,
The special feature of Ekadasi, as most people know it, is a fast, abstinence from diet
. Astronomy studies the movements of planets and stars, and astrology the effects they produce on the contents of the system. The Ekadasi observance is an astrological phenomenon and it is observed due to this relation with some of the planets in the system
The sun is said to influence the centre of our personality; hence the sun is called Atmakaraka
The sun is capable of influencing the entire being. digestion becomes sluggish on days when there is no sun. So important is the sun.
The mind's presiding deity is moon. Ekadasi is particularly relevant to this relation of moon and mind. We are made up of planetary forces and there is nothing independent to call our own. One part belongs to one planet and another part to another planet. If each planet claims its part, one will disintegrate. The moon influences the mind in its orbital relative movement with reference to other planets and us.
certain centres called Chakras in the body The Chakras are nothing but energy-centres which whirl in some direction as water whirls in a river. Chakra is a wheel or circular motion.The moon's influence physically on the body has an influence on the Chakras, which tells upon the mind ultimately. The mind moves through these Chakras.
there is some advantage in keeping the body light and the stomach free from excessive metabolic function. When the stomach is given the duty of digestion, doctors will tell you, the blood circulation is accelerated towards the digestive organs, on account of which blood circulation to the head gets decreased after food is taken and so you feel sleepy and the thinking faculty practically ceases to function. Hence, there is no advantage in giving the physical system work on days you want to do Yogic practice. Thus, Ekadasi has also a spiritual significance.
In the celestial phenomena, the Earth as well as moon raises and settles at the same time on Amavasya and from the next day to Amavasya, moon is moving about 12 degree distance from the solar path; on the Ekadasi day, i.e. 11th day from full moon the Moon stays at a distance of about 135 degrees in the solar path that causes lesser grativation force and thus causing lesser atmospheric pressure. Thus fasting on an Ekadasi day will not affect the body system as also hungry feelings too minimum to some extent.
so
There is no mantra superior to the Gayatri mantra, There is no god superior to the Mother, There is no water more purifying or superior than River Ganges. And finally, there is no fast/ austerities (vradham) more sacred or superior than the Ekadasi.

ekadasi is auspicious because it gives righteous mind to do dharmic works. it is very important to lord vishnu and doing satyanarayana vratam on that day, will yield good results, peace,spiritual progres and cosmic grace.in bhagavadgita lord Krishna says HE is fond of ekadasi thithi.in performing all functions like starting new house construction,entering new house,starting education,thread ceremony,naming the child,marriage,wering new clothes,giving the first meal to the child,seemantam to the pregnant ladies etc,the 11th thithi is considered auspicious.people do fasting on that day and do ekadasi vrath,visit the temple of lord vishnu seek His grace.read vishnu sahsranama and worship Goddess lakshmi with stri suktam and get blessed.
