Dear all,

Rearding accepting Prasadam on ekadasi day, the
following is given in Narada Pancharatra:

prasAdAnnam sadA grAhyam ekAdasyAm na nArada |
ramAdi-sarva-bhaktAnAm itareshAm ca kA kathA ||

"O Narada, one must always accept the remnants of food
offered to the Lord.  However, on ekadasi one must not
accept them.  Even Goddess Laksmi, and her peers
observe ekadasi.  What, then, can be said of other
persons?"

Hence, one must not accept even Maha-prasada annam on
ekadasi day.If same is offered, one must keep it
safely and take it on the dvadasi day, first thing in
the morning.There is no contradiction. Contradiction
comes because we place more significane of the
maha-prasadam and less on ekadasi. But that is only
due to our lack of knowledge on the greatness of
ekadasi, its greatness even over Mahaprasadam.When we
sufficiently realise the glories and importance of
ekadasi, then we will follow ekadasi better.

Ramanuja Dasi
