The twenty-four ekadasi names
Suta Gosvami said, "There are twelve months in a year, and two Ekadasis in each month. Thus there are twenty-four Ekadasis in one full year, and in leap-year there are two extra Ekadasis. 0 great sages, please listen attentively as I declare to you the names of these auspicious Ekadasis They are:
Utpanna
Moksada
Saphala
Putrada
Sat-tila
Jaya
Vijaya
Amalaki
Papamocani
Kamada
Varuthini
Mohini
Apara
Nirjala
Yogini
Padma (Devasayani)
Kamika
Putrada
Aja
Parivartini
Indira
Papankusa
Rama
Haribodhini (Devotthani)
Padmini and Parama are the two extra Ekadasis, occuring in a leap-year.
Padmini
Parama
"O sages, one who hears about these Ekadasis will learn how to observe them properly.Each Ekadasi bestows particular benefits on the faithful observer. "One who is physically unable to fast on Ekadasi may read the glories of each Ekadasi when it occurs and recite all the names of the Ekadasis; thus he will achieve the same goal as the person who observes the full Ekadasi vow."

Quotes
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's order in Chaitanya Caritamrita was everyone should practice Krishna Consciousness and give it to everyone. Take up Krishna Consciousness and distribute it to everyone we meet.
*********************************************
A person acting in the service of Krsna with body, mind, intelligence and words is a liberated person even within the material world, although he may be engaged in many so-called material activities. (Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.2.187)
*********************************************
Pure devotional service can be attained only when it is uncontaminated with jnana and karma.

anasaktasya visayan

nirbandhah krsna-sambandhe
yuktah vairagyam ucyate
prapancikataya buddhya
hari-sambandhi-vastunah
mumuksubhih parityago
vairagyah phalgu kathyate
When one is not attached to anything but at the same time accepts everything in relation to Krsna, one is rightly situated above possessiveness. On the other hand, one who rejects everything without knowledge of its relationship to Krsna is not as complete in his renunciation.
