Re: Fasting on Dvadasi for Ekadashi

Yes, one can fast from grain-food on Dvadashi and break the fast on Trayodashi in the case that one has genuinely forgotten to observe the Ekadashi fast according to Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada. This fast may not be fully equal to the original fast on Ekadashi, as the holy tithi of Ekadashi cannot be replaced by anything else but at least one can minimize the negative results and sins of eating grain food on Ekadashi by doing so.
