Ekadashi fast

Prayer-and-smriti-satsang-for-mom



At the 12th day (barwa) ceremony, official end of the grieving period, intention of the prayer was set by saying the name of the soul (mom) and name of person who is praying( Arnav- who performed the rites under the priest's guidance). Since the journey to moksha needs the soul to be resolute, the near ones offer to give up something in order to strengthen the soul’s resolve. I gave up eggplant and  my sister Karishma( Barkha) gave up tea. 

Both of us also resolved to fast on the 24 “EkaDashi” days in the coming year. Ekadashi is the 11th day of each moon phase. On Ekadashi  days, both of us will observe a grain-free fast and only consume fruit/juices/milk(vegan).

So began our journey into understanding the Ekadashi fast. So thank you mom for this last gift, we are learning so much and are ever so grateful.

Fasting is known to give much needed rest to our gastro-intestinal system and improve the vital functions of digestion, respiration, and circulation as well detoxify the body by improving the functioning of  the kidneys and  the liver.

Our bodies are influenced by the moon and its magnetic pull so fasting twice a month on Ekadashi- 11th day of the moon cycle has immense benefits. You can choose to do a complete fast, water only fast, fruit fast or choose to start with a grain free fast if new to fasting like we are undertaking.

Pa

Bhagwan. A. Shivdasani

(15th March 1939- 23rd Feb 2011)


We will not look at this as a goodbye.

We will embrace what you have taught us through the

years and carry that with us.

You will forever be a part of our life,

We feel your presence.

And through us you will forever be a part of 

Mahika Arnav & Mihika.


We are your legacy.


You always inspired us to live life to the fullest,

We will see you in our dreams.

Forever healthy and strong.

In time, we hope to embrace your freedom, freedom from the

pain, and freedom from the weight of your illness.

Tears are inevitable, but we will face this with the same

Courage you did, because we are you, and you are forever our “PA”

 Zumba is my Satsang. Satsang is a Sanskrit term derived from two roots: sat meaning "true’"and sangha meaning community, company or association. "Associating with good people" or simply "being in the company of truth," and refers to the act of gathering with like-minded, uplifting people.
