Fasting: Do you know these rules?
Not eating during the day and night is called 'fasting'. Eating only at noon is 'Ekabhuktam'. Eating only at night is 'Naktam'. During fasting, daytime sleep, chewing betel leaves, anger, and shedding tears can break the vow. Following the guru's command, taking medicine, and drinking water are not prohibited. One should spend the entire day chanting the mantra of the deity for whom the vow is being observed, listening to stories, and performing puja. One should refrain from eating food prepared by others and keep the mind completely focused on divine contemplation.
