Dear most Adiyaars,
Adiyen has a simple doubt. What is the prescribed fasting procedure for Sri 
Vaishnavas during ?? The Gaudiya Vaishnavas totally refrain themselves from 
eating any grains or grain by-products, for they believe on the basis of 
scriptures that Kali purusha (or is it Sin personified, I am not sure) resides 
in the grains on the days of Ekadasi, as per Sriman Narayana's instructions- 
therefore eating grains amounts to committing a very sinful action.

What should be the habit of SriVaishnavas?? I know people having "tiffin" items 
and calling it "PalagAram", but the actualword being "Phal AhAram" which 
means, "meal of fruit". 

I would be thankful if the adiyArs can utter afew words of wisdom on this 
matter.

AzhwAr emperumanAr jeeyar thiruvadigaLe Saranam

Dasan,
Kidambi Soundararajan.
