Hare Krishna!
can one take medicine during ekadashi vrat,if one falls sick a day before and is still recovering.Then,should vrat be not taken as how elders may advice.....but one is so keen to do vrat....as how happened with me today....becos i feel Ekadashi is a boon from Lord to us,fallen souls....then what is the right approach.......to depend on mercy of lord and avoid medicine.....and let Lord do the thing.......or still continue with vrat as how ur heart says......kindly Guide.....

In the reality full fasting helps to cure the disease. Usually when i am sick on Ekadashi days i still try to fast and that helps me to become healthier faster.
But please see Your own condition Prabhu. Bodies are different. If You are sick too much then You should take medicine.
Or else if it is just a cold then no need to take medicine because nirjal fasting is itself a medicine.
