dear sri mani,
adiyal would just like to echo what sri vishvanath had stated. :) this group 
has guided me and alot of others as well in our sri sampradhayam. if 
anything the posts in this list has changed my whole life. :) so please 
don't entertain thoughts of ending it!

the list is just a little dormant at the moment, swamy, that's all. the 
guidelines are not restrictive but precise. so please don't be harsh on 
yourself.

for my part i would like to ask a few questions to all bhaagavatas,

1) what is the difference between the monthly ekadesi and annual ekadesi?
2) how does one observe the fast properly?
3) what is the significance of avoiding grains during ekadesi?
4) i heard that if one misses the monthly ekadesi-s then s/he can make up by 
observing the annual ekadesi. is this true?

thank you all in advance :))
and sri mani, pls do keep doing the wonderful kainkaryam that your doing for 
our beloved perumal and piratti :)))
