स्वागतम्

तत्त्द् गतिवशन्नित्यं यथा दृक्-तुल्यतां ग्रहाः।
प्रयान्ति तत्प्रवक्ष्यामि स्फ़ुटिकरणमादरात्॥
सुर्य सिद्धान्त ॥

यस्मिन् पक्षे यत्र काले येन दृग्गणितैक्यम्।
दृश्यते तेन पक्षेण कुर्यात्तिथ्यादिनिर्णयम्॥
वशिष्ठ॥

यात्राविवाहोत्सवजातकादौ खेटैः स्फुटैरेवफलस्फुटत्वम्।
स्यात्प्रोच्यते तेन नभश्चराणां स्फुटक्रिया दृग्गणितैक्यकृद्या॥
भास्कराचार्य॥

तिथिर्विष्णुस्तथा वारो नक्षत्रं विष्णुरेव च।
योगश्च करणं चैव सर्वं विष्णु मयं जगत्॥

Vaiknuntha Ekadasi

Reference: mypanchang.com

Vaikuntha Ekadasi: USA/Canada/Carrebian: December 16th 2010.
UK/India/Gulf, Australia: December 17th 2010. 

Those who observe vaikuntha ekadasi on 17th in USA/Canada they are not observing it correctly. The earth isn't flat. If earth was flat then vaikuntha ekadasi would come to USA/Canada as the same date mentioned in indian calendar. But the earth is round and we have days and night.

Ekadashi finishes at 14:26 on December 17th as per Indian standard time. If you subtract. The new york time difference of 10 hours 30 minutes it will be the night of 16th and morning of 17th which is 3 hours 56 minutes. The rises in New york around 7:56 AM and ekadasi isn't visible on that day in New york. but it's visible at sunrise on 16th December and hence as per EST time zone it will be 16th December for New york but if you take the Central timezone then also it's 16th December same goes for other timezone. Basically in USA and Canada Vaikuntha Ekadasi is on 16th December and other parts of the world on 17th December. Even in Carrebian islands its on December 16th. Rest of the world -- 17th December.
