In addition if a devotee wants to then on the Bhima eor Pandava Nirjala Ekadasee one can fully fast without water and that will equal one years of ekadasee fasts. Sins are in grains on ekadasee so anyone who eats grains on Ekadasee will get the reactions. Yours in service, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
