Why should we fast on Eikadashi

Eikadashi comes twice a month. During these two days the Moon & Earth are such an angle that digestion of grains becomes hard for our bodies. As per classics, one must not take grains for 24 hours (especially rice).
Hence, detox your body with no grains, no salt...
Do take a lots of fruits and fresh juices, milk, curd, water etc.
Lord Vishu is worshiped on Eikadashi

Attachment in Detachment ----- Written by Sudha Murti

🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸 When my daughter, the older of my two, wed and left home, I felt a part of me gone. With a daughter and a son, I know what both mean, differently. When she was in her teens I felt as if she was my "physical extension" ! So when she left home to set up her own, I felt I lost a limb. Next time she came to stay with us, I was astonished how her priorities had changed. We too must've given the same shocks to our own parents ! When she said Amma, she meant her mother-in-law, not me! I felt she was always in a hurry to go back to her house and not stay with me for a few more days. That was the first time, it dawned on me that I have to start practising detachment with attachment. Two years after my daughter’s marriage, my son left for higher studies to US. Having experienced a child's separation once, I was better equipped emotionally. I plunged head long into various classes held i...

How a daughter was raised and decided to share

My Dad always *sounds* it in my ears "Simi, you must be *tough.* Being *girlish* and being *ladylike* is not an excuse for *weakness".* This he still says to me and my sisters till this very day. All the children were *raised* to do the *"masculine"* as well as the *"feminine"* tasks. My sisters and I started *winding* a 15KVA generator as soon as we got one. I *learnt* how to wash a *car* (internal and external) before the *age of 16*. I started *learning driving* immediately after *secondary* school. My Dad told me that before he allows me drive out *independently,* that I must learn to change *car tyres.* I remember I was forming *ajebutter* and my Dad said to me "If you are *driving* on a lonely *highway* and you need to change your *tyre*, what would you do? You will have to get down and change it.... that's the *common sense* thing to do. It's a *survival skill* for drivers. *My brother?* He started *washing* the dishes as soon as...

If karma works why are so many corrupt people successful ?

Once a king ordered his three ministers to take a bag and go to the forest and fill up the bag with fruits. The first minister thought that since the king has ordered for collection of fruits, he must collect the best of the fruits in the bag. The second minister thought that since the king is a very busy person, he may not look very thoroughly into the bag what has been collected and hence he collected whatever he could lay his hands. Thus his bag was filled up with a mixture of good and rotten fruits. The third minister thought that the king would see only externally how big the bag is and hence he just filled up the bag with all dried leaves and dust. All the three ministers came back to the court with their respective bags, having executed the order of collecting the fruits. The King, without even seeing what their bags contained, just ordered that now the three ministers must be sent to separate jails for three months, where they will not be provided with any food and they w...
