Why is it not preferred to eat grains on the "ekadasi" fast?
I'm curious about the Ekadasi fast. Can you tell me why it is not preferred to eat grains on this day?
Sure! The Ekadasi fast is observed by many Hindus as a way to purify the mind and body. It is believed that eating grains on this day can create negative energy and hinder the purification process.
