Hare Krishna. One should totally fast from grains and beans on ekadasi day. This includes rice, wheat, dhal, corn, etc. as well as certain spices. It is best to only partake fruits and milk, water, etc. in small quantities to be safe since many items we may think are okay can have a mixture of forbidden spices. Chapati is made of wheat and so it is not to be taken. Milk sweets are okay. Upma is made of rava and so it is also not to be taken. What may be taken are tapioca, potato, non-grain vegetables like tomato, green pepper, cucumber, turnip, nuts, etc. Avoid corn oil as well. It is mentioned in smrti shastras that paapam personified takes shelter of grains on ekadasi. ys jai simman jakarta Dear Bhagavathas, My Question might be out of context here, but i would like to know the answer. I fast on ekadasi days & take only Payatham paruppu kanchi in the night. My wife keeps telling me that sweets, uppma, chappathi etc are ok to take, since they are not made from rice. Kindly let me know the allowed food on ekadasi days. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
