I am an Hebbar thengalai iyengar married to Hebbar vadakkalia. I would like to know if married women can observe fast.
Dear Sir/Madam, I am an Hebbar thengalai iyengar married to Hebbar vadakkalia. I would like to know if married women can observe fast. People say that married Srivaishanava women (Sumangali) are not supposed to observe fast and it is considered to be inauspicious. Please suggest. Thanks & Regards, jyothi

Answer: There is no bar for any – gender/age/sex/caste, status or creed for fasting. Anyone can observe periodical fasting and especially on all Ekadasi days. It is observed mainly to cleanse the body system and also bring one closer to spiritual path. You can read further details from Eadasi Fasting from this website.
