I am surprised a good lot mails have got generated on whether to partake

prasadam offerings in a temple on Ekadasi day.

A.How many of you are aware that a well known Yethi while on

mangalasasana visit to temples refuses to accept the" Teertham".Even if by

chance takes it in his hand ,drops it quietly.This happens to this very

day.The reason, the theertham used for Thiruvaradanam is not "Madi".There a

number of people like this .They have their own reasons,valid at that

according to them.

B.Most of us are a totally confused lot,neither having belief and following

what our Alwars and Poorvachariars have said.Nor we are able to follow the

Anushtanams as ordained in Vedic scriptures.

C.Even few persons who are" learned "and who have absolute faith in Alwars

Arulicheyals are in a state of community fear etc.

D.There are a number of literatures highlighting the importance of Ekadesi

Day and what a person should do on those days.{In law, we talk about special

Act and general Act. The special Act always takes precedence over general

Act.In this case the ekadesi rituals are to be a special Act and it takes

precedence over the other rituals.}.

E.Then ,each one draws a line which is convenient to him.Let me put a harsh

question.Can I say a person who is supposed to perform last rites or the

annual shradham enter the temple before this ritual and accept the

prasad etc.We can extend this to any limit and let us not do it.

F.Have a big heart and accept all these people.
