Guest guest Posted February 2, 2000 Report Share Posted February 2, 2000 > Dear Guru Maharaja, > PAMHO. AGTSP. Are mustard seeds Ekadasi? What about sesame seeds?

Since they are one of the five grains used in sacrificial fires they also are considered as a grain for fasting purposes although biologically they might not be considered grains. In Mayapur and India these are not offered to devotees fasting on Ekadasi. I hope that this finds you in good health.
