Devotees should view each Ekadasi as a chance to grow on their spiritual journey. Observing the Vrat and participating in poojas and kirtans assist devotees in freeing their minds from material cravings. <br \/><br \/>The key to accomplishing the spiritual objective is to have the strength to bear the austerities and to resist emotional and sensual temptations. The main premise of Ekadashi Vrat is to avoid not just food but also the demands of the body and senses.<br \/><br \/>It also involves inhibiting sexual cravings. Human existence is designed to be lived in such a way that it avoids food, sex, and other material needs.
