Do not make these mistakes even by mistake on the day of Aja Ekadashi?
Do not consume rice
Eating rice on Ekadashi is considered taboo. It is believed that on this day, consuming rice does not give the fruit of fast and fast becomes fragmented. Therefore, avoid consuming rice in any form on this day.
Avoid tamasic food
Satvik food should be eaten on Ekadashi. Garlic, onion, meat, alcohol, and other tamasic things should not be eaten on this day. The fruit of the fast is found only when you are pure from both the mind and the body.
Do not do evil to others
Fasting does not only mean renunciation of eating and drinking, but also keeps the mind pure. On the day of Ekadashi, someone should avoid condemning, evil, or lying. Do not bring a feeling of anger or malice in your mind. Stay calm and meditate on God.
Do not cut hair and nails
According to religious beliefs, it is considered inauspicious to cut a haircut, nail cutting and shaving on Ekadashi. By doing this, the fruit of the fast can be destroyed.
Do not touch basil
The Tulsi plant is very dear to Lord Vishnu, but on Ekadashi, the basil plant should not be touched nor should it break its leaves. It is believed that Tulsi Mata also observes Nirjala fast on this day. If you want, you can break basil leaves a day in advance for worship.
Do not sleep during the day
Sleeping during the day of fasting is considered inauspicious. On this day, you should pay attention to God as much as possible. If possible, wake up all night and awaken Lord Vishnu.
