SrI: Dear Yamini : On EkAdasi days , which are known a sVishNu Subha Dinams , TuLasi MaathA is visualized also of having Her UpavAsam and hence it is customary not to pick TuLasi on these days . This is a traditon followed by our elders and handed down .You wont find anything written as PramANams easily . AshtAkshara Mantra Japam for the initiated is done after Morning bath and worship by ladies in front of the KOil AzhwAr or PerumAL vigraham or Photo quitely for any amount ranging from 10 or 28 or 108 . For men , who are initiated , in the Ahobila matam SamprahdAyam , it is done after Morning SandhyA Vandhanam and before AarAdhanam . The ladies will use the special form of PraNavam according to the UpadEsam that they recieved for AshtAkshara Mantra upadEsam . Those who have not been initiated can just recite NamO NaarAyaNAya without PraNavam .
