God Bless All.
I reckon, Ekadasi vratam is meant for us - mortals, to make our mind focussed on HIM. It doesn't mean we should deprive HIM of our love or deprive of HIS grace. Hence, prasadams should be offerred regarless of the day to show our deep love and sincere devotion to HIM and to get his benevolent grace.
I may be wrong in my contention. If so, please grace your pardon.
Let Sat-chit-anandham prevail upon the entire jagat...
