A class of priests do not observe the Ekadashi fast, but among those who do observe Ekadashi, those who are virtuous are using social media to show evidence from Vishnu Samhita (Vishnu Smriti) and Atri Samhita (Atri Smriti) to prevent them from observing Ekadashi.

“The life that is lived by the yoshidupavasabratam is a life that is spent in the pursuit of happiness.
The life that is spent in the pursuit of happiness is a life that is spent in the pursuit of happiness.”

              (Vishnu Samhita 25/16)
Translation: A woman who observes a fast while her husband is alive, takes away her husband’s life and goes to hell. Therefore, fasting while her husband is alive is not advisable.

The woman who is the object of life is the one who observes the vow.
The woman who is the object of life is the one who destroys the life of the woman and the one who is the object of the vow.

       (Atrisamhita, verse 136.)

Translation: A woman who fasts and observes a vow while her husband is alive, takes away her husband’s life and goes to hell.

👉 Readers, please observe the above verses of Vishnu Samhita 25/16 and Atri Samhita 136. Nowhere in these two verses
is it explicitly forbidden to observe fasting on Ekadashi, rather fasting alone is forbidden to observe Sadhvad.

Yet we see that all these priests prescribe fasting for traditional Sadhvads during Kojagari Lakshmi Puja, fasting on Durga Ashtami day of Durga Puja, fasting on Shiva Chaturdashi day of Shiva Ratri, fasting on Santoshi Mata during Santoshi Mata Puja, fasting on Kali during Kali Puja, fasting on Loknath Baba during Loknath Puja, fasting on Kartik Puja, fasting on Surya during Surya Puja, fasting on Ashwini Kumar while cooking food. And if any Sadhva wants to worship all these deities without fasting, no resolution is made in their name. If Sadhva women can fast during the worship of all these deities, then why is there this ban on them while observing Ekadashi fast? We understand that the root of all this is hatred towards Vaishnavas, because Vaishnavas are especially They observe the Ekadashi fast. And by observing Ekadashi, one attains devotion to Lord Vishnu, the Lord of all beings, so all these so-called priests cannot tolerate it.

The Padma Purana clearly makes it mandatory for all men and women between the ages of 8-80 to observe fast on Ekadashi.

If fasting is observed for the love of God, then how can there be sin in it, there can be no logic to it. Moreover, in the Vedas, all human beings including women, men, saints, widows have been instructed to observe fasting for the pleasure of God. Read about this in the link given below.

👉Has the Vedas mentioned Ekadashi fasting?
https://svadharmam.com/has-the-vedas-been-mentioned-in-the-ekadashi-fast/

Therefore, the Vedas have advised all mankind to observe fasts to please God. And devotees observe fasts on Ekadashi Tithi to please the Supreme Lord.

Finally, the Vedas, without any discrimination, have advised all mankind, including Sadhva, widows, to observe fast for the pleasure of God. Also, 14 scriptures, including the Srimad Bhagavatam Padma Purana, have advised to observe the Ekadashi fast of Sadhva. Therefore, there can never be any wrong information in so many scriptures at the same time.

Therefore, our conclusion is that most of the Smriti, including Vishnu Samhita (Vishnu Smriti) and Atri Samhita (Atri Smriti), have been corrupted or adulterated by so-called priests, sold under the lure of atheists. Therefore, it is necessary for readers to be aware of all these issues while reading these Smriti.

Now we will read about the advice given to virtuous women to observe fast on Ekadashi, based on the evidence of the Nimotaka Shastra.

   1 ) Brahmin, Kshatriya, Visham, Shudra, Nancaiva, Joshitam.

And the woman who stays awake at night with her husband on Ekadashi, lives in the abode of Hari with her husband for a lifetime.”

Due to the merit of which she went to Vishnu Loka after death and in her next birth became Satyabhama and got the fortune of becoming the wife of Krishna.

💥The vows are performed in the right manner, even after birth and death.
The Ekadashi vows are performed in the right manner, and the Kartikakasya is performed in the right manner.
[ Skanda Purana, Vishnukhanda, Kartikamasamahatmyam, 13.12 ]

Bengali translation: “Shri Krishna said to Satyabhama, ‘Gunavati, the wife of the Moon, observed these two vows – the Ekadashi fast and the Kartik month fast – from birth to death.”

💥(9) Shri Narada Ubach.
This is the face of Radha, the Gopika, who is worshipped by the Yajnasitas.
The Ekadashi Vrata is the cycle of Krishna ‘s desire.
23 Even on the Ekadashi day, Shri Hari is pleased.
On the top of the path, the full moon is full. 24

[Garga Samhita, Madhuryakhand, Chapter 9, Verses 23-24, Narada’s quote]

Bengali translation: Narada said, “The Yajnasita gopis, hearing the greatness of Ekadashi from Radha, observed the Ekadashi fast as prescribed to attain Krishna; as a result of their Ekadashi fast, the cowherd boy Hari himself was pleased and performed the Raasana dance with them on the full moon day of the month of Agrahayana.”

💥(10)Shri Krishna speaks.

He is attached to the worship of Krishna. 24

Bengali translation: “Shri Krishna said, – King! Listen, I am telling you the story – O earthly Yudhishthira! In ancient times,
there was a Brahmin woman in the mortal world who was adamant in her vows, who always worshipped the gods. She was my constant devotee, a devotee of meat, a devotee of fasting for the love of Krishna, and a great devotee of the worship of liquor.”

💥(11) The goddess’s name is the sixth pillar of the Vratam.
The true Vratam of man is the fruit of liberation.

    [Padma Purana, Uttarakhand, 42. 45-47]

Bengali translation: “On the advice of the goddesses, the ascetic performed the Shatila Ekadashi fast, which is the fruit of liberation from food and drink.

💥(14) On the eleventh day, the greatest sin is committed. Those who commit sins are those who commit the killing of Brahma. Those who eat food and drink are those who are in the house of Hari. All castes are women. Those who live in the city of Divayama are those who do not commit sins. A virtuous woman drinks water at night. On the eleventh day, she is not afraid of birds. Those who are not afraid of the Dharma, always remain a householder.

      [Brihadharma Purana, Uttarakhand, Chapter 10, 37]

Bengali translation: “There is no sin more sinful than eating on Ekadashi, because all sins, including killing a brahmin, take refuge on Ekadashi. Brahmins, the four castes, celibates, and all women, if they observe the Ekadashi fast, attain divine status; if they do not observe the Ekadashi fast, they become sinners. Virtuous women should fast on Ekadashi and drink only water at night. Householders should fast on Ekadashi and worship Krishna, the lover of gods, with incense and lamps.”
