Namo Narayana
Thank you. Of the 2 replies I received , this one is
most convincing. I have another doubt. I was informed
that in Ramanuja Sampradayam - Sumangalis should not
observe fasts - even Ekadasi(this was the 2nd reply).
I however have not yet paid heed to it . My mother
used to observe Ekadasi as a Sumangali  and I have
grown up with this knowledge. I cannot somehow relate
to this rule too. Can you pls clarify if you are
aware.

As you mentioned, I have left it to Hari and am
continuing to observe Ekadasi as advised by the
community elders. 

Thanks and regards
Ramanuja dasi
