Today is a very high day, Ekadasi tithi, Madhava tithi, Hari Vasara tithi etc.
To follow Ekadasi, do not eat any grains on this day, if possible, do nirjala, do not eat anything, nor drink water.
The Scriptures indicate that everyone should follow Ekadasi (from 8 to 80 years old), twice a month.
One of the seeds in the grains on the day of Ekadasi is the sin of killing father and mother.
Speculating about how and when sin enters the grain is mere logic without spirituality. Understand transcendence through the instructions of the Guru and the Scriptures.
King Rukmangada’s history, everyone in his kingdom followed Ekadasi. He fulfilled his vow even in the face of the danger of his son Dharmangada’s death.
Pastime of Sri Mahaprabhu instructing not to take the prasada of Lord Jaganatha on the day of Ekadasi.
The glories of breaking the fast at the astrologically determined time, only then will the benefits be obtained.
A lila of Ambarisa Maharaja who, in order not to miss the time to break the Ekadasi fast, takes just a drop of the water that washed the feet of the Deity of the Lord.
In Gaudiya Matha, on Ekadasi days, rice is offered only to Thakuraji, She is beyond regulations.
Ekadasi is the incarnation of the Lord, do not eat any grains on that day and sing 64 rounds of japa.
