EKADASHI FASTS ARE DONE FOR CLEANSING OF OUR MIND AND BODY. NORMALLY WE DON'T GIVE REST TO OUR SYSTEMS. ONE OF THE TAPAS IS FASTING ON EKADASHI, AND REMEMBERING NARAYANA'S NAME CONSTANTLY. IT WAS NARADA WHO GAVE DWADASHAKSHARI MANTRA[MANTRA HAVING 12 LETTERS] OM NAMO BAGHAVATHE VASUDEVAYA , TO DRUVA, WHO MEDITATED UPON THE THE LORD FOR FIVE MONTHS. IDEAL IS TO FAST WITH FRUITS AND MILK. FOR OTHERS ONE CAN HAVE SABUDHANA. NOW IT'S PREPARATION----------------. SOAK 1 CUP SABUDHANA WITH 3/4 CUP OF WATER OVERNIGHT. NEXT DAY CUT TO PIECES TOMATOES,BELLPEPPER,POTATO,ETC INTO FINE PIECES. POUR SOME OIL AND FRY THE VEGGIES AND SAUT IT ADD SALT, MIX IT WITH SABUDHANA IN FLAT VESSEL . PRESSURE COOK TILL YOU HEAR ONE WISTLE. MIX WELL AND ENJOY REMEMBERING GOVINDA. TELL ME WHETHER YOU HAVE SUCEEDED?
