Guest guest Posted March 7, 1996 Report Share Posted March 7, 1996 I would like to thank Keshava Prasad for telling us about Ekadashi. Sadagopan mentioned that he would be sharing some info on Ekadashi. I am looking forward to Sadagopan's article. There are perhaps as many vrathams in our religion as there are Gods, and among them the Dwadashi vratham is considered to be the best. I quote below a verse that supports this: Na Annodhakath Param Dhanam Na Dwadhashyat Param Vratam Na Gayathrayat Param Mantram Na Maata Para Devatha There can be no better charity than providing food and water, There is no vratham that is superior to Dwadashi There is no Mantra that is superior to Gayathri and There is no God superior to one's own mother. There are several people in Buffalo who observe complete fasting on Ekadashi and we all join together in the evening for Hari Nama Sankeerthanam and Sahasranama Parayanam. It is indeed a wonderful experience. Vijayaraghavan Srinivasan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
