Guest guest Posted January 3, 1999 Report Share Posted January 3, 1999 Sanatana Goswami in his Digdarshini tika (HBV) Whatever vows he is following, these rules should be added to them, such as eating of eggplants and pink dahl should be given up daily, not shaving on dasami day (the day before Ekadasi). In caturmasya he should give up eating green leafy vegetables and uprooted plants, etc. and on dvadasi day he should give up sleeping in the daytime, etc. One should protect himself from breaking these rules and to follow proper rules. ONE SHOULD NOT OFFER FOOD GRAINS TO ANYBODY ON FASTING DAYS * ONE SHOULD NOT OFFER FOOD GRAINS TO ANYBODY ON FASTING DAYS.* He should give them to other Vaisnavas or throw it in the water. (like on Ekadasi, he may offer grains but not eat them himself. He may give them to vaisnavas because they will save them until the next day or he may throw them in the water). Does it not prove that we should not even distribute grain mahaprasad on Ekadashis (keep it for the next day or throw it in the water), what to speak of making grain samosas for selling on Ekadashis?
