Navaratri Sankalpa/Fasting

[Guest guest]

Namaste Everyone:I decided to try Swami's idea of slowly altering the diet from no grains, mostly fruit and slowly go into a fast. So far so good. Sometimes I think it's good to shake the diet up a bit anyway. In the process I detoxed from drinking too much caffeine all the time. My blood pressure actually dropped.Because I'm a householder with lots of duties to attend to, I did not really think I could keep the sankalpa that Shree Maa wants us to keep, but I thought I would give it a try. So far I've actually been able to keep up with that too.Anyone else fasting?Shanti Om,Shankari Kali

Namaste Shankari Kali,

 

I am fasting... sort of. I am eating fruit in the morning and steamed

vegetables at night. In between, I have some almonds, if needed. I am

also drinking water and tea... again, as needed. I'm keeping the

meals small. As a householder, a complete fast would be difficult for

me at this particular time.

 

When I first heard 3000 mantras a day, I wasn't sure if I could do

it, although I didn't hesitate to sign on! So far, complete

success. I picture Shree Maa sitting next to me and the energy to

finish just comes in.

 

Jai Maa! Jai Durga!

Namaste Wendy--I'm pretty much eating fruits, salad, and some tofu as needed. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has trouble with total fasting. I'm not sure I would make it through the day. I have noticed that once I got off caffeine and rice/bread that it is actually easier to go on with less.You have given me courage to continue. I too sometimes see Shree Maa in the quietness of my soul while chanting.Jai Maa!Shankari Kaliway131 <wendy131 wrote: Namaste Shankari Kali, I am fasting... sort of. I am
