What are Ekadasi Vratam and Dvadasi Paranai?
Vidwan’s reply:
Ekadasi Vratam is an important Vratam for Srivaishanavas. Those who can observe the vratam, fast the entire Ekadasi day.
Those who cannot fast, partake fruits or light tiffin but must avoid taking rice.
During that day we must avoid spending time in entertainment and must contemplate on Emperuman.
The fruits of Ekadasi vratam will be complete when we do Dvadasi Paranai on time the following day.
Let us learn about the greatness of Ekadasi vratam through the story of King Ambarisha from Sampradaya Manjari’s ePatashala link provided here.
