Thank you, Mayapur Prabhu, for mentioning this.

 

In fact, Srila Prabhupada's instructions on Ekadasi were short and sweet:

 

No grains or beans. Bas.

 

If one desires, of course, additional austerities may be undertaken for

one's Ekadasi vrata, and that is a good thing. But those of us who follow

the simple standard set forth in the early days of ISKCON are sometimes made

to feel as if we are not following correctly by those who desire to perform

extra austerities, and that is not good.

 

To further complicate matters, the official ISKCON manual for deity worship

now buts forward a standard much like the one Rama Kesava mentions. Even

though this book is only intended as a manual for deity worship, I have

still seen it presented as the default standard for devotee behavior.
