Why Vancouver dates can differ from India

Ekadashi is the day on which the 11th tithi is in force at your own sunrise. Sunrise in Vancouver comes about 14 hours after sunrise in Hyderabad, so the same tithi can be running at sunrise here on the day before it reaches sunrise in India, or start too late for one sunrise and catch the next.

Example: Papankusha Ekadashi. The Ekadashi tithi runs Oct 21, 1:42 AM → Oct 22, 2:19 AM in Vancouver time, so the fast is on Wed, Oct 21 here; in India it is on Thu, Oct 22.

How the parana time is set

The fast is broken on Dwadashi, after sunrise, once Hari Vasara (the first quarter of Dwadashi) is over and before Dwadashi ends. For Papankusha Ekadashi in Vancouver: Hari Vasara ends Oct 22, 8:16 AM, Dwadashi ends Oct 23, 2:06 AM, so parana is Thu, Oct 22 8:16 AM – 9:50 AM.

Smarta and Vaishnava Ekadashi

The dates above are Smarta. Vaishnava (ISKCON) practice moves the fast to the next day when Dashami is still running at dawn (Arunodaya, 96 minutes before sunrise). In Vancouver that happens 4 times in the next 12 months: Mokshada Ekadashi (Sun, Dec 20), Jaya Ekadashi (Wed, Feb 17), Mohini Ekadashi (Sun, May 16), Indira Ekadashi (Sun, Sep 26).
