Q.how do you please krishna by fasting?

we don't please krishna by fasting. you become so much absorbed in                    krishna that we set aside our basic neccesarities.

Q.Is it better to eat grain and absorb completely in krishna?

BSST said in case of ur complete absorption in book distribution I will take           that sin.BSST said this just to teach us to keep our focus on spiritual than           just ritual .it shouldn't be taken in out of context. higher principle is to keep           all the rules enact and do the services.

Scientific basis:

Junk DNA : in study of DNA called junk DNA(which doesn't carry no                              information)-atheist used it as to show the inperfection of GOd.

every time cell duplicate ,junk dna lost and every time it is lost our life                 reduces.junk DNA protects the information from both side.

scientist thought how to increase life:1.Lessening the duplication of                     cell. 2.reduce the size of telomer(junk DNA ) lost.

this can be done if you have to reduce the calorie intake.

so those who don't follow 4 reg principle the pieces telemor is lost is                      more and vice versa with people living satvik life.

they did experiment on a student to reduce the calorie intake by 25%                   and they found good results but problem was that student started                          feeling weak.

so later scientist found out that the same result can be achieved by                      fasting for 36 hours in a week and that Krishna says is Ekadasi.

sunset of dasmi to sunrise of dvadasi is 36 hours. so who does that                     who do that they remain young and feel fresh.Scientist says that this                   can be done by anyone between 8-80 and same thing have been told in                 Padma Purana.

Types of Fasting:

Ayurveda(patanjali sutra says):those who are meat eaters they should fast                                                                                    for one month.

Those who are veg they should do complete fasting once in 2 weeks.

Levels on fasting  :w/o water,with water and so on........

A/c to yoga sutra complete fast is not good.keep leaking warm water.

        and drinking water is considered as fasting and not fasting also (dilemma of ambarista maharaj)

Breaking Ekadasi - if ur nirjal then you can break ekadasi with water , if you are on water then you can break with juice,if on juice then you can break with solid food,if ur on solid food then u can break with grains,if ur on grain then you will go to hell(that's what shasta's says.)

Paran time : specific time on dvadasi

So this was dilemma of ambarishta maharaj.(vaishna seva                                   or ekadasi)(on the advice of vaishnavas chose ekadasi 

but chose to drink water to be safe)

Importance of water : don't drink water directly to throat but drink in                                                       installment.B/c masic of sliva is it removes all the                                                impurity.it removes all the cut mark inside our mouth                                          but on the other part of body these cut marks remain                                                                                                          as it is.

All though water is so beneficial we do one mistake:we drink just after                    meal which is poisionious for our health.It is like throwing water on                                                                                                                  fire.

What is wrong with grains: Audience answers(it is in passion,papa purusa                                                  reside in the grains)-but people may laugh on these                                              reason.so a/c to astronomy max pull of moon is                                                   during Ekadasi.grains have very unique quality                                                  retains water that is held in.so the human 

have 75% water so it creates havock in the                                                        body.Even a/c to doctors max dieses attacks b/c of                                         taking grains on Ekadasi days.

Fruits: Also have water containt but these are water which are flushed out of                                                                                                           body.

Rice:takes lot of water to grow,to cook and retain lot of water.

Spiritual Reasons: Jaimini risi asking Qs from vyasdev: Q1:what do you                                           mean by ekadasi Q2:why it is so imp to follow 3.how                                            should we follow this Q4.what will happen to one who                                          don't follow that ekadsi

Vyasdev:this is very imp Q many will have this but                                             very few will enquire.then he tells one story.

Story :  vishnu wanted to create sin personafide.so his different part of body                       represents different sins.whose head represent 

killing of brahmana.he created this for punishing                                                  people who comiittee sin.

vishnu happened to visit yamloka and could hear loud                                     helpless cry for help and asked yam who is this.yam told                                     u created pap purusa and he is doing his duty.vishnu told                                     what to do and as he was thinking the commpassion in                                         his heart took faminine form and came out and told                                              whoever on this day follow spiritual activity I will free                                           the from all the sins.she told i'm your one of the servent                                     (Ek-one dasi-servent).

now pap purusa approached vishnu and asked where can I stay.Vishnu told the day when she is not active you pervade and on that day you hide in grains.

story2 :daemon mura attack demigod and finally started fighting with vishnu and finally vishnu begin to feel fetigue and vishnu went to hemavati in badrikaashram.And when Murra entered into the cave ekadasi chopped his head with her sward.

when vishu asked her identity she told I am personafication of your mercy and compassion.I can grant liberation 

more faster that you can .therfore on the day of ekadasi one reaches krishna faster than one can by mercy of lord.

tulsi and ekadasi are both merciful so on this day who worship deities with tulsi leaf deeped in chandan they are granted

back to godhead for sure.

Basic rules  :ideally one time meal on dasami and dvadasi and complete fast on ekadasi.if not possible take as much 

as to keep ourself fit and serve krishna.

read scriptures,associate with vaishnavas.,chant japa,preferebally visit holy places,serve tulsi and deity,decrese need of body and increases the need of soul and in spirit of humility ,tolerant and forgiveness in non critical fashion serve the vasishnavas 

and loudly chant the holy names.
