Answers: How to fast on Ekadasi:
One must strictly avoid eating grains and beans on Ekadasi. Fasting generally means completely abstaining from both food and drink. Of one finds this impossible, then one should eat a single non-grain meal once in the afternoon or in the evening, which should consist of roots grown underground (except beetroots), fruit, water, milk products, nuts, sugar and vegetables (except mushrooms and onions). If possible, one should not drink water more than once on Ekadasi. Of course, if a complete fast impedes duty, it should not be observed, but the devotee should follow the fasting rules and still meet his responsibilities.
On Ekadasi ins should avoid the following: sleeping during the day, a massage with oil, eating more than once, drinking honey, eating with bell-metal utensils, spinach, honey, eggplant, eating in another's house, asafetida (hing) and sea salt.
If by chance one forgets to observe Ekadasi on the appropriate day, he may observe it on the next day, Dvadasi, and thus break his fast on Trayodasi. After carefully observing a fast on Ekadasi, following the rules and regulations, one should break his fast within two and a half hours after sunrise on Dvadasi.
