What if a sixtieth birthday occurs for a prapanna during Kaisika Ekadasi? Adiyen’s sister-in-law’s grandsons are having upanayana ceremony during Kaisika Ekadasi. As a prapanna we cannot eat the festive food on a Ekadasi day even though we are maternal uncle and aunt. In some weddings, private cooking (maDi thaligai) is prepared for a few family members only, and the guests are served the general preparation which we are unable to avoid. Is there a solution for such situations?

During Ekadasi it is appropriate to avoid food, if the hosts compel the guest to eat, we should also be as forceful in avoiding food especially cooked rice. We can stress that we cannot partake food that is not offered to Perumal. We need not hesitate and bend rules as ordained by the scriptures.
