Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Does anyone have the reference for the following: Srila Prabhupada saw a lot of brahmacharis and devotees hanging around in the temple. He caught hold of the authority and asked, "why are they still here..no one has gone for book distribution?" "yes Prabhupad", the disciple replied. "Today is ekadashi, and everyone is fasting, They have no energy left in them to do sankirtan". Prabhupada immediately went to the kitchen and along with a few devotees, prepared a feast of grains and immediately fed all the devotees. Ekadashi or no ekadashi, Prabhupada did not want to stop the flow of book distribution which he considred all impoertant. So he was ready to bend ekadashi rules for a purpose.
