Guest guest Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Hare Rama Krishna Dear Vinod, 1. Sukla Paksha is the most auspicious to BEGIN any vrata. But the Ekadashi fast should be performed during both pakshas. 2. As per Padma Purana, Kriya Yogasara 22.46,50: ekadasyam samayantyam prapunantyam jagattrayamsthatavyam annamasritya bhavata papa purusa sansare yani papani tany eva ekadasi dineannam asritya tisthanti sriman narayana ajnaya When Ekadasi arrives, at that time, all of the sins from the three worlds reside in grains in the form of a sinful person. Whatever sins are available in this world, they all together reside in grains on Ekadasi day by the order of Lord Sri Narayana. - There is no mention of water, actually bathing in a holy river during Ekadashi is recommended, just as the sign- cancer removes all sins. So drinking water is allowed. 3. Depends on why you are fasting. Usually the fast is enough. 4. I hope others can spread light on this.
