Indira Ekadashi 2021: Today is Indira Ekadashi, which gives salvation to the ancestors. According to the belief, seven generations get salvation by observing fasting on this day by following the rules and regulations. It is very important to follow some rules regarding the fasting of Ekadashi. Although every Ekadashi is necessary, one who observes a fast on this day gets Vaikunth. Along with the fasting person, those who have not kept the fast are also required to follow some rules.
Don’t eat rice
Fasting on this day has special significance. Every Ekadashi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Therefore some special things should be taken care of on this day. This fast starts after sunset on Dashami Tithi. After that you should not eat. Don’t eat rice even on this day. Although those who observe a fast do not eat food, those who have not observed a fast should also not eat rice. Ekadashi fast should be broken before the end of Dwadashi Tithi and only after the end of Hari Vasara.
Talk to everyone with love
You should always exercise restraint on your speech, but during Ekadashi fast, keep in mind that even by mistake, no abusive words should come out of your mouth. Talk to everyone with respect and love. If there is any mistake done by you unintentionally, then ask for forgiveness from Lord Vishnu. Remember God for the whole time in the fast. From Dashami Tithi to Dwadashi Tithi one should follow celibacy completely.
