Sri Gurubyom Namaha...
I am planning to perform Chandrayana vratam, starting tomorrow until badrapadha purnima covering one full month.
However we do Nirjala Ekadasi vratam from so many years which I find it conflicting if I take up Chandrayana vratam as I need to take 4 handful portions of food during krishna paksha and 11 handfuls during sukla paksha.
May you kindly help us on how I can carry out both?
Also I would like to understand the rules that we need to follow during this penance like:
Can we take water other than the handful quota of food per day?
Please shed some light to help me in completing the first Chandrayana vrat.
Namo Narayanaya

Also I would like to understand the rules that we need to follow during this penance like:
- Bhusayanam
- Bath thrice a day
- Take Sattvik food
- Brahmacharyam
Can we take water other than the handful quota of food per day?
Please shed some light to help me in completing the first Chandrayana vrat.
