It was very hard.No food. No water. At midnight I got a terrible headache but I just tolerated it and I survived!!!

We don't practice corporal mortification, do we? Ekadashi vrata is supposed to please Vishnu, not to torture your body. If it turns into torturing yourself, why do it? Does Vishnu get pleased if a bhakta has a headache? I chose that my God was not a God of ascetics, but a tender Lord who likes when I remember Him. (When I have a headache I remember my headache only).
