Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Srila Prabhupada ate peanuts on Ekadasi. In most cases, Prabhupada only mentions fasting from grains on Ekadasi. Sometimes he'll add dahl or beans. How you define "grains" or "beans" is still important. Some people eat buckwheat or quinoa on Ekadasi although those might be considered grains. On the other hand some won't eat corn oil or corn syrup although those are clearly not cereal foods. Ys, Murari On 24 Jun 2005, Radha Vinoda wrote: > Dear vaisnavas, Pamho!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 "Lettuce is also a legume. But traditionally, we seem always to have peanuts and lettuce on Ekadasi's." are you sure? i've never heard that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
