Swamiji says that the primary purpose of fasting on Ekadashi is to focus less on food and more on God, however, the practice of fasting has diverted the attention to what kind of food items can be eaten and what should be avoided. He says that following rituals blindly serves no purpose and such practice has been condemned even by saints. Thank you, Swamiji!

You cannot use any grains...no rice, wheat etc.
Great to eat simple.
Fruits and water some nuts...etc
Veryyyyy good for your health too...this is one of the advices you get to prevent cancer cells to grow.
Love the way Swamiji is explaining it.....it is not a day to focus on food, go to restaurant.
Take more time for devotion.

Hare Krsna ❤️ 🙏🏼
1st time I’ve listened to this man what a wonderful experience 🙏
Your way of answering every question with a story is really good.and most importantly your unbiased answers.You are a very good teacher,a bundle of knowledge..
Thank you Swamiji for this talk. I was raised a Christian and also taught that Jesus came to free the Jews of their rituals that consumed their lives. Krishna wants us to love him freely, never forced or coerced. Radhey Radhey
Very nice explanation of how free our faith is and how sweet God is. Radhe Radhe, Jai Shree Krishna 🙏♥️
Love how he emphasized Love for God as the goal. Rituals may help or may not, following religious rules were invented only to be a tool. Only to be a tool.
Fasting is tapas - penance, austerities, sacrifice to purify and cleanse the body, mind, and spirit!
Devotion to God is the ultimate thing to purify the mind ❤❤
Meaning of Ekadasi clarified very simply.
So blessed to have crossed your path Swamiji. God bless you with good health and long life
We don"t have to follow rituals blindly, main purpose is develop love for GOD.
Ramadan kareem .I am a muslim and We fast the whole month of Ramadan because Allah says you should fast but not to gain any health benefits.fortunately nowadays people come to know the benefits of fasting and they fast to gain that benefit

@@aroundworldnews lol so what you people are fasting from 1500 years before that no Islam existed
Hindu's , buddists , jains doing fasting from thousands of years even when no such thing as islam exist so don't teach us about fasting bro
Swamiji, very beautiful video clip about Ekadashi. Focus little less on world and worldly rituals but the goal is to focus on Lord and His Divine Love.
Thank you for helping us so much. You are such a true Guru who helps everyone to make a very beautiful relationship with God
Thank you absolutely apt answer at the right time. Tomorrow is ekkadashi I’ll be showing my devotion in the best way I can which is by meditating. Thank you I was panicking about the fasting 🙏🕉
Beautifully explained. Thank you Swamiji.
Scientifically fastig has its own importance .Saints have not introduced anything unnecessarily but what we need to do is to go deep into it
Excellent explanation by Swamiji. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Hare Krishna Swamiji 🙏 🙏
Love listing all your satsang.
Feeling very blessed to have spritual GURU like you. 🙏🙏🙏

Today 11 nov 2020 is ekadashi and I’m not feeling well and unable to follow ekadashi, so I was feeling guilty, but I thank you Prabhu. I feel better. #LoveForGod #Gratitude

Fasting is an austerity where the mind is to be taken off of food and engaged in devotion to God.

You are the BEST SWAMIJI ever!!!
Real meaning of fasting- very beautifully explained thank you Guruji
Makes so much sense, the purpose of all rituals is to deepen our understanding of God ultimately. Thanks so much!
A much needed lecture in today's world where rituals are performed without even knowing the significance of it or love for God! Thank you!
Thankyou Swami ji ur answers are very practical and it clearly shows how deeply u have studied all the purans and scriptures...... Thanks for helping us and guiding us towards God......
Wonderful explanation. All rituals are helpers to develop love for God. Thanks Swamiji

Very convincing explanations by Swamiji regarding Ekadashi fasting. We pay more attention to food than devoting our time for God.

Beautiful answer by Swamiji. Rituals, performed with a spiritual mindset is good.But the meaning and main purpose of our life is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.
th-cam.com/video/XcUYf7kffQU/w-d-xo.html
Nice lecture Swami g
I have become your fan. I always believed that by fasting we go more towards food coz it makes me think when the day will end and I will eat.
Radhey ! Radhey !
Absolutely right swamiji radhey radhey
Nice explanation Swamiji 🙏
Concentrate on god with loving emotions , nothing is beyond that . Thank you Swami ji
th-cam.com/video/XcUYf7kffQU/w-d-xo.html
Simply superb explanation about not to fear to throw away the empty rituals that are not helping us in uplifting of devotion. Even bhagavat gita and bhakti sutra says the same
Gurudev your sense of humour is as awesome as your lecture. Superlative explanation. It is fasting the mind from worldly thoughts and feasting on the divine names/pastimes of the Lord. Loved the Sant Kabir Ji's doha which is full of wisdom. Loved it thoroughly. Pierced my heart and soul. Radhey Radhey Govinda Radhey
Ramadan kareem .I am a muslim and We fast the whole month of Ramadan because Allah says you should fast but not to gain any health benefits.fortunately nowadays people come to know the benefits of fasting and they fast to gain that benefit

Less food means less sleep that way you can append more time for bhakti (worship). If you eat in restaurant you never know about cleanliness and feelings of the chefs.because our shastra said chefs emotion effect our food.in short Swamiji is right.
Swamiji is great!
RadheKrishna 🙏😍❤️
Nice explanation. Radhey Radhey Swamiji.
Radhey Radhey. Way of bhakti rely on none but one!Madhur Madhur sumadhur🙏
Love for God is the essence of all activities, some of which have become empty rituals. Great explanation Swami ji. Use the rituals (as practical in the modern life) to attain bhakthi.
Swamiji your spiritual dialectics book is amazing.Very well written.Pls publish part 2.Also the bhagvad gita ,the song of God which is free online.Thank you very much🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Blissful🙏
Nicely explained
Radhey radhey very nice question and answer
So well explained
Its amazing how something so basic can impress so many people.... the sad thing is the people who not thinking will need to have someone explain an answer to every single question... which is how these types of gurus maintain themselves... haha
Absolutely true.
It was the German philosopher Frederick Nietzsche who made this comment that there was only one Christian and alas he died on the cross ...ever since one of my sent me Swamiji's video I have never missed his discourses...it touches the core of Hindu Philosophy and explains it most endearingly...
Nicely said about akadasi and the purpose of fasting thank you swamiji for give us this knowledge through this speach RADHE RADHE 🙏🙏🙏
Ramadan kareem .I am a muslim and We fast the whole month of Ramadan because Allah says you should fast but not to gain any health benefits.fortunately nowadays people come to know the benefits of fasting and they fast to gain that benefit
