What are the things to keep in mind while fasting Ekadashi
Those who want to observe Ekadashi fast, they should resolve to fast in Vishnu Puja in the morning.
Be disinterested throughout the day, renounce food. People who are not able to stay hungry, they can make fruit, drink milk and fruit juice.
Chant the mantras of Lord Vishnu. Read and listen to the stories of Vishnu.
Worship Vishnu ji in the evening also. Wake up early in the morning on Dwadashi the next day and after worshiping, provide food to the needy people.
When we fast, we do not eat food and do not eat food, then our digestive system gets a break from the work of digesting food. Fasting reduces problems like gas, acidity and indigestion. When we take a light and balanced diet, these things easily digest our digestive system. During the fast, you should keep drinking enough water and the body should get enough energy, for this, fruits should be consumed.
