You are correct Parvin, Any fast is to purify one's innerself, whether it is for

a day or for long time.In samskrat it is--Shak (Shanti), Dam (Destoying the bad

tendencies--ego, jealousy, enemity, untruth,etc)Uparati (Samanvaya, Sambhav) and

titiksha (Tolerance, and patience)..If one can achieve even part of it his life

can be more peaceful andblissful. Happy RamadaanOPGupta

Yesterday I was invited to a place for Iftar party. Both husband and wife

are really fit. At the time of Iftar we were given fruits, cucumber, and

some choley in a small plate and a glass of juice. After performing prayer

and chit-chatting for some time then we had dinner. They offered us mixed

salad, chicken curry and goat biryani and raita. Now it is up to us to

control our portion sizes. It is the same principle as you miss your

breakfast and there are chances of eating more at lunch.

Fasting is not only about not eating but realising how poor people feel who

do not get food. Anger, backbiting and all bad habits are not allowed and

that does not mean that it is allowed after Ramadan. But it will not be a

fast if one indulges in such things. Charity is to be given on certain

amount. There are certain criteria as to who this charity money can be

given to. I will keep on writing if I don't stop now..

good explanation. more simler is fasting is called as UPVAS in indian languages.

UP means near and VAS means stay i.e. when you stay near GOD it is UPVAS. if you

r not near GOD then what ever you may do , it is not UPVAS.

So true Parvin Ma'am its all about your self control and self

realisation...........what you can achieve and feel during the time of

fasting...........

Thank you OP Gupta Sir...........you have explained it so beautifully and so has

Dr. Raichura..........

Any fast or for that matter a festivity is kept or should be kept for your inner

strength and growth ............ one needs to understand oneself...........as

they say look within yourself ...........its like wearing clothes, and what you

would like to see yourself in..........

Thanks Dr Gupta Sir and Dr Raichura for explaining in simple and few setences

what I was actually trying to explain. Thanks Aaswari for further explaination

of innerself.

In India now a days fast is from 4 am to 7:30pm (approximately), here in Canada,

I am having from 4am to 9:38pm, so long, but I just don't know how the day

passes. With all or your's blessings and prayer I will complete 29 or 30 fasts.

Thanks every one
