Dear SrI Sridharan:

There  are some relaxations in EkAdasi Fasting rules
based on age , health status , kaala , dEsa varthamAnams .

For instance , those below age 8 and above 70 or 80
and ladies going thru pregnancy are excused from  Fasting .

SrI Sridharan: You are abroad studying towards a degree
with intensity and with lot of demanding duties . Yours is a  category of
cases that need some modifications to the prescribed Fasting .
Nirjala EkAdasi should  be avoided under your circumstances
at all costs .

SrI Sridharan: You have been blessed to be a SrI Paadham ThAngi
for Lord VaradarAjan . That blessing alone will carry you through during
this year of overseas stay for educational purposes , where it
is difficult for you to pursuing Ekadasi Vratham. Please do not
worry about it .

There are a lot of people here ( in USA ) , who drive quite a few miles
daily to get to work and sit in intense meetings or operate Machines
(including their cars) or have demanding project deadlines . They have
to mitigate the intensity of fasting also along the lines allowed by
ShAsthrAs and revert to stricter routines , when they can . If not ,
they will have problems in coping with the demands of the working day
such as experiencing  gididness and gastro-intenstinal problems ,
dry mouth , hypoglycemia ( inadequate supply of glucose to the brain) et al
,
which do not go well with their intense work schedules .

Eating fruits and cooked vegetables , broken grain based
preparations during the day and spreading it out , performing
ThrikAla SandhyA Vandhanams and additional AshtAkshari/
Gayathri Japams are some of the ways to cope with the difficulties
in strict observation of the EkAdasi Vratham. Oru Pothu , PalahAram
route can be merged in to this schedule.

You can always return to stricter observances , once
your support systems are back in place .

V.Sadagopan
