The Real Fast

Hi Dear Indians,

On now whole India is busy for 10 days for celebrating the great festival of Navratra. People are doing fast according their capacity and belief.

But in this occasion i want to raise the question are they aware with the real meaning of fast. According Dictionary meaning, Fasting is primarily the act of willingly abstaining from some or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time. A fast may be total or partial concerning that from which one fasts, and may be prolonged or intermittent as to the period of fasting. Fasting practices may preclude sexual activity as well as food, in addition to refraining from eating certain types or groups of foods; for example, one might refrain from eating meat. A complete fast in its traditional definition is abstinence of all food and liquids.

But I am concerning with moreover. Fast is a period in which one should leave their black side of characters and try to taken some goodness in the form of Sankalp or etc. This is the time when one should recognise their faults and pray to god for forgiving them from heart. This is the period in which there is no place of violence, hate, selfishness e.t.c.

Are you doing real fast?
