About this episode
This episode discusses the significance of observing a fast on Amalaki Ekadashi in the Vedic tradition.
🪷 In the Vedic tradition, observing a fast on Ekadashi is considered very auspicious. Strict fasting, meditation, and prayer on Ekadashi help purify the soul and free one from sinful reactions accumulated over many lifetimes. It is said that papa (“sin”) enters grains and legumes on this day, therefore one should refrain from eating them. Sins not only limit a person’s spiritual progress but also create obstacles in life and bring suffering to living beings.
