-On the days of Ekadashi, all kinds of sins fall into the five kinds of grains… If you need to eat, you can eat fruit.

-Prasada is nirguna, but, we should not honour grain prasada on Ekadashi because that is the scriptural rule and we have to follow it.
-Except Tulasi leaf, no leaf can be eaten on Ekadashi. And if you do nirjala-ekadashi, even Tulasi leaf cannot be eaten.

These Sampradayas are purifying the planet Earth.”
