It’s a wonderful Saturday and I’m happy to post on the third consecutive day! (Given my recent records, it’s definitely an ‘achievement’ to boast!)
Pondering about food, there’s an important aspect involved in it, which is abstinence from partaking food, or simply put as fasting.
Fasting from food is a very dominant practice/ritual found in most cultures, societies around in the world, in the guise of prayer, self control, protest, gratification, health consciousness or anything that one would love to term it!
Mahatma Gandhi’s satyagraha included massive fasting protests, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that these protests had a great impact on the British regime in India and paved way for our Independence!
On a personal note, I fast on a single day in the whole year; on the day of Vaikunda Ekadasi. I have quite adorance and reverence for this day, which makes me undertake this form of prayer.
Well, more to come and more to write. Will get back with more on food!
Cheers
God Bless
