Hare Krishna,
Ambubachi (22 June - 25 June) is coinciding this Pandava Nirjala Ekadashi (24 June). So is there any restrictions on deity worship during Ambubachi time ?
Also when Parana timings are too early and short span, what is the procedure to break the ekadashi fasting in that short time period ? Please guide.

Hare KRsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
Not aware of Ambubachi - what is this?
Secondly, if parana time is too short or too early, we break the fast at that time only by eating a grain of rice or some such thing to break the fast. Need not be a full meal. Depending on how one has fasted. Like I said earlier, fasting can be various levels :
1) Complete nirjal fasting - no water or food
2) Sajal fast - water and liquids are taken
3) 3rd level - uncooked food is taken with water, curd, milk
4) 4th Level - cooked anukalpa prasadam.
In the 1st case, drinking water itself is breaking fast
In the other 3 cases, eating one grain of grains is breaking fast.
Haribol,
