Rama Ekadashi is not merely observing fasting or staying hungry.
For
most Hindu fasting really means not to eat full meal (vegetable, roti, rice,
daal etc.). Eating farali meal is acceptable. This is a wrong concept accepted
in today's society.
In fact Ekadashi is a day when one should concentrate on
controlling 11 senses (10 senses + mind) of our body.
This should be on going
practice and not just for one day. That is why it is called Rama Ekadashi.
