Fasting in Hinduism

[@sukma-uc2mz]

Thank you appreciate this "teaching" as minority living in Asia I really appreciate it. Pls keep such videos for hindu community everywhere

[@vidinfoful]

I don't fast intentionally, to meditate or be reflective spiritually or anything like that, but I agree with everything that was said in the video! A beautiful presentation!

ग्रेट info ...hinduism is great

[@amazinggita9779]

Yes Lahu P. Maskepatil, Hinduism is indeed great. Since Hinduism allows “Absolute freedom of thoughts & actions” and does not profess monopoly on God, truth or salvation. Even an atheist has the right to condemn Hinduism in the public and still proudly say "I am a Hindu." ________________________________________ * Hindus respect all religions. + Hindus have no problem worshiping even in a church or mosque or in a synagogue. * Hindus see their personal God in the personal gods of all other religions. * Hinduism never ever proclaim monopoly on GOD or on TRUTH or on Salvation. * You do not even have to be a Hindu to attain salvation. * Rishis were scientists of ancient age. They even allowed people to condemn Hinduism in public. No Hindu was beaten up or killed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKPdd5RoiNKlpM0

Beautifully explained, Aumkar 🙏🏽 well illustrated - both principles and practices 👌🏽 luvvit A quick note, for those interested: Ahimsa does not mean non-violence. “Himsa” = kill/slaughter, “Ahimsa” = non killing/slaughter. Ahimsa is a Hindu principle applied to food - wherein one does not kill or slaughter another being for sustenance. In extreme Hinduism, onions, garlic or other food that requires the plant to be killed is a no-no - such food is Thamasic or Rajasic ...the jury is out on carrots etc which are out of the equation in orthodox circles. In general, food that can be harvested without killing the plant e.g. grain, rice, gourds, okra, fruits, nuts, leaves, legumes that are harvested after the plants naturally die such as lentils etc. are allowed. Milk is allowed only if the cow lets you have it - talk about animal rights 😄 ...and of course, when a cow gives you the milk meant for its child i.e. its calf, the cow is treating you as it would its own child - and hence it is wrong to kill your cow-mom ...although in a traditional vegetarian Hindu society, it is unlikely that any animal would be killed for food.

[@bhagyashrichoudhari2727]

Can I take my medicines during fasting?? whether it is ohk???plz reply

[@Aumkar]

Yes, you may absolutely take your medicines during fasting. People often become focused on which foods are fasting appropriate or not. But at the end of the day, you have to do what is good for your health. Fasting should not cause any harm to your body, or else that defeats the purpose of fasting. So please take your medicines!

Can we sleep in afternoon

[@Aumkar]

Yes you can sleep whenever you need to

What does Vrat means ? I just wanted to remind you all that our holy father's name is Sri Satya Vrata !

[@Aumkar]

Vrat means vow or fast.

[@LJDS1979]

Are there particular dates for fasting?

[@Aumkar]

Hello! The days on which an individual Hindu fasts can vary greatly depending on tradition or region of India. There are some major fasting days such as Janmashtami, Shivaratri and Ram Navami that you will find many Hindus observing. Per the Hindu lunar calendar (which is broke into 15-day segments, two per month), the 11th day (or ekadashi) is another day when Hindus might fast. Furthermore, some Hindus may pick a day of the week for fasting depending on what they aim to accomplish. For example, the day Thursday is ruled by Jupiter (Guru) who is associated with education. So a student may elect to fast every Thursday. It's up to the individual to decide how much or little to fast. Hope that helps : )

[@LJDS1979]

@@Aumkar Thank you so much for the info! I want to complete the Fast observed by each of the major religions in the same year. That is why I inquired.

[@unassistedcreator9889]

What if I broke my fast intentionally before time??? What should I do now?? Tell me quick .. Plz..

[@Aumkar]

Any time you can fast is a plus. You do not get punished for ending your fast. Fasting is something we do to help ourselves, not to please God.

[@worldofsoumya]

Can we take a nap on the day we are fasting?

[@Aumkar]

Sure : )

[@Fitnesswithvicky65]

Can I drink whey protein while fasting

[@Aumkar]

The restrictions on fasting vary by region in India. Traditionally, fasting-appropriate foods are milk, fruits, and nuts. Food made from grains are normally not consumed on fasting days. That being said, if it is part of your routine then go ahead--you can set the terms to your own fasts.

[@themahfujalam6410]

Yes fasting is also in Islam 😊.thanks for video

[@ashishpundir3598]

can we take tea during ekadashi fast

[@Aumkar]

Yes

[@ashishpundir3598]

but tea has sugar and milk! and milk can not be taken on fast. ryt?

[@Aumkar]

Milk is allowed during fasting because it comes from cows, which are regarded as mother-like figures. Therefore, milk is Sattvic and can be consumed on fasting days.

[@ashishpundir3598]

sir I took fast on last ekadashi and till night my body became so weak! my cheeks were pushed back and was in a very irritation. So how can a person like me take fast on ekadashi?
