Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 [moderator note: again, let me please remind devotees to entitle your messages appropriately. When you just hit the "reply" button to the digest, the subject line will read "re: digest #xyz" without an appropriate title. Just delete this and rename it to something suitable. Thanks. - K] Haribol, Vamana's appearance is celebrated on Dvadashi. Usually we fast for half day on appearance days of various incarnations and acharyas (with exceptions). So we have to fast half day for Vamana's appearance. We cannot do this on Dvadashi because we have to break the Ekadashi fast sometime in the morning on Dvadashi. So we fast for half a day on Ekadashi itself for Vamana's appearance the next day. This is the rationale behind 'fast today and feast tomorrow'.
