Makar Sankranti & Ekadashi Conjunction: Pandit Kalki Ram Clarifies Rice Donation Dilemma

• Makar Sankranti and Ekadashi Tithi coincide on January 14, creating a rare and auspicious conjunction.
• Makar Sankranti is for donations, bathing, and meritorious deeds, while Ekadashi is for Lord Vishnu's worship and fasting.
• Consumption of rice is prohibited on Ekadashi, but donating khichdi on Makar Sankranti is highly significant.
• Pandit Kalki Ram advises fasting devotees to avoid consuming rice but to donate khichdi after bathing in Brahma Muhurta.
• Chanting 'Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya' and offering Arghya to the Sun God will bring immense merit.

Why It Matters: A rare Makar Sankranti-Ekadashi conjunction offers doubled merit; donate khichdi but avoid consuming rice.
