FASTING - A RITUAL

AUM SRI SAI RAM AUM SRI SAI RAM

Our ancestors realised that fasting is not only a ritual ,but also a practical way of life.Usually we focuss only upon the spiritual values of fasting ,but ignore its practical benefits.Remember that Mahatma Gandhi used fasing as a powerful weapon during freedom struggle.However here the spiritual values of fasting are discussed.Fasting on a new moon day is to please Gods.It helps the devotees achieve wealth health and what not.On the day of fastig taking bath at piligrim centres and offering to the deities are prescribed.On the previous day of fasting one should take only single food.As the moon has an influence on the earth fasting on the new moon day helps devotees alleviate illeffects on the body.Our forefathers realised the effects of moon on human body very well.Fasting on Shashti is considered to please Lord Subramania.Shashti is the sixth lunar day.On the day of Shashti one should take bath early in the morning and visit temples of Subramania swamy and offer poojas to deities.
