@@namamipande1436 between 8 and 80 everyone who is able it's wise to avoid food on EKADASI so as to spend the day in Bhakti to Bhagavan. Unless one has serious health issues. If one can not go without water, then have water, if not just water then have just fruit, and if not just fruit, have raw milk from Indian cow only, but not at the same time as eating fruit, and if still too hard have one meal in evening, but no grains or beans. The ritual of fasting is to free the body and mind so as to focus more on japa. HARIBOL ! Namaskar 🙏🏽💜🕉️

Papankusha - Ekadasi Yudhishthira maharaj said, Oh Madhusudana, what is the name of the Ekadasii that comes during the light fortnight of the month of Ashvina (September - October)? Please be merciful and disclose this truth to me." The Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna replied,..,.................. "O Maharaj Yudhishthira, protector of the earth, after observing Ekadasi during the daytime, the devotee should remain awake through the night, absorbed in hearing, chanting and serving the lord - for by so doing he easily attains to the Supreme abode of Lord Vishnu. Not only that, but ten generations of ancestors on his mother's side, ten generations on his father's side, and ten generations on his wife's side are all liberated by a single observance of a fast on this Ekadasi. All these ancestors attain their original, four armed transcendental Vaikuntha forms. Wearing yellow garments and beautiful garlands, they ride to the spiritual realm on the back of Garuda, the renown great enemy of the snakes. This is the benediction My devotee earns simply by observing one Papankusha Ekadasi properly................................
