rajikrishna

I need help and suggestions for daily religious activities. I am not a Vaishnavite by origin but fortunately from my childhood i am more inclined to Lord Vishnu.I am 22 year old girl and working in a software company.Before i started working i used to chant Vishnu Sahasranaam and used to fast for all Ekadesi but after i have started working things have changed.I am unable to chant Sahasranaam as i am away from home,the present house is not spacious and clean enough to decorate my Lord Vishnu with flowers and chant the mantra.Is it ok to chant by sitting on a clean floor and looking towards the sky(eastern side).Is it mandatory to have a deepam and the diety. Secondly i am unable to fast for Ekadesi bcus i have to work sitting in front of the computer for 11 hrs my parents are scolding me that i will faint if i fast. Can you suggest me a suitable diet during Ekadesi. Jai Shri Krishna, Raji Krishnamoorthy.
