Makar Sankranti & Ekadashi Conjunction: Pandit Kalki Ram Clarifies Rice Donation Dilemma
- •Makar Sankranti and Ekadashi Tithi coincide on January 14, creating a rare and auspicious conjunction.
- •Makar Sankranti is for donations, bathing, and meritorious deeds, while Ekadashi is for Lord Vishnu's worship and fasting.
- •Consumption of rice is prohibited on Ekadashi, but donating khichdi on Makar Sankranti is highly significant.
- •Pandit Kalki Ram advises fasting devotees to avoid consuming rice but to donate khichdi after bathing in Brahma Muhurta.
- •Chanting 'Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya' and offering Arghya to the Sun God will bring immense merit.
