Upavása - remaining in closer proximity to the Lord
“A voracious person cannot attain success in life. A voracious person always suffers from so many stomach diseases. So, you should neither encourage voracity, nor should you undergo fasting for a long period of time.”
Shrii Shrii Anandamurti jii
"Fasting is a calming experience. It is restful. It relieves anxiety and tension. It is rarely depressing and it is often downright exhilarating."
Alan Cott, M.D.
