Do not make these mistakes on the day of Papmochani Ekadashi
Eating Rice: Eating rice is prohibited on the day of Ekadashi. In mythology, rice is related to reptiles. It is believed that eating rice on the day of Ekadashi increases restlessness and reduces the sattvik effect of fasting.
Anger and debate: Avoid getting angry at anyone, abusing or speaking ill of anyone on this day. By doing this the accumulated virtues are destroyed.
Plucking Basil: Plucking basil leaves is prohibited on the day of Ekadashi. In such a situation, pluck and keep Tulsi for worship a day before Tulsi Ekadashi.
Sleeping during the day: Avoid sleeping during the day during the fast. Because this reduces the effect of fasting. Instead, recite Bhagwat Geeta or chant mantra at this time.
Tamasic food: On the day of Papmochani Ekadashi, do not consume tamasic substances like garlic, onion, meat and liquor.
