Dear BhakthAs :

 

Quite often the questions on how to observe EkAdasi Vratham

come up .

 

Sri Vaasu VadhyAr , the moderator of a sister

focusing on anushtAnams has answered this question

succinctly .

 

This mail from him would be of interest to you .

Thank you Sri Vaasu VaadhyAr .

> Ekadasi is Vradham and Dwadasi is not Vradham but 'Paaranai'.

> 1. Without taking a drop of water for the whole Ekadesi day is called as

> 'Nirjala' upavasam.

> 2. Taking only one time tiffin and taking coffee like drinks when ever

> required.

> 3. Taking food (by roasting the rice before cooking it), with usual menu

> and taking tiffin in the night.

> The above mentioned three type of Ekadasi Vrdham can be graded

> 75% (25% for Dwadasi Paaranai)

> 75%

> 50%

> Success of Vradham if you do the 'Dwadasi Paaranai' i.e, taking food

> (after Dwadasi Aaradhanam) before 7.30 am is called 'Paaranai' which is

> most important than Vradham.

> The Paaranai is not done the 75% earned by the Eakadasi Vradham will also

> go lost.
