Maharishi Medha was born in the form of rice and barley, hence rice and barley are considered as organisms. On the day when Maharishi medha was part of the earth, it was on the day of Ekadashi, that is why it was avoided to accept Ekadashi as food, so that the vow of Vishnu Priya Ekadashi can be completed in a perfect manner.
