What Mahabharata says on Fasting-Santi Parva, Section CCXXI.
”
Translated by Sri Kisari Mohan Ganguli
(Abridged)
Yudhishthira said: Common people say that fasting is TAPAS (penances). Is fasting, however, really so, or is penance something different?”
Bhishma said: People do regard fast, measured by months or fortnight or days, as penance. In the opinion, however of the good, such is not penance. On the other hand, fast is an impediment to the acquisition of the knowledge of the Soul. The renunciation of acts (that is so difficult for all) and humility (consisting in the worship of all creatures and consideration for them all) constitute the highest penance. That is distinguished above all kinds of penance.
He who betakes himself to such penance is regarded as one that is always fasting and that is always leading a life of Brahmacharya (celibacy). Such a Brahman will become a Muni always, a deity evermore, even if he lives in the bosom of a family. He will become a vegetarian always, and pure forever. He will become an eater always of ambrosia, and an adorer always of gods and guests. Indeed, he will be regarded as one always subsisting on sacrificial remnants, as one ever devoted to the duty of hospitality, as one always full of faith, and as one ever worshipping gods and guests.
Yudhishthira said: How can one practising such penance come to be regarded as one that is always fasting or as one that is ever devoted to the vow of Brahmcharya, or as one that is always subsisting upon sacrificial remnants or as one that is ever regardful of guests?
Bhishma said: He will be regarded as one that is always fasting if he eats once during the day and once during the night at the fixed hours without eating during the interval. Such a Brahman, by always speaking the truth and by adhering always to wisdom, and by going to his wife only in her season and never at other times, becomes a Brahmacharin (celibate). By never eating meat of animals not killed for sacrifice, he will become a strict vegetarian. By always becoming charitable he will become ever pure, and by abstaining from sleep during the day he will become one that is always wakeful. That Brahman who never eats till gods and guests are fed, wins, by such abstention, heaven itself.
He is said to subsist upon remnants, who eats only what remains after feeding the gods, the Pitris, servants, and guests. Such men win numberless regions of felicity in next life. To their homes come, with Brahman himself, the gods and the Apsaras. They who share their food with the deities and the Pitris pass their days in constant happiness with their sons and grandsons and at last, leaving off this body, attain to a very high end.

From The Mahabharata
Anusasana Parva Section CVI
Translated by Sri Kisari Mohan Ganguli
What are the merits of fasting during
the month of Sravana and other months?
Yudhishthira said: The disposition is seen in all the orders of men, of observing fasts.
The reason, however, of this is not known to us.
It has been heard by us that only Brahmanas and Kshatriyas should observe the vow of fasts
. How, O Grandsire, are the other orders to be taken as earning any merit by the observance of fasts?
How have vows and fasts come to be observed by persons of all orders, O king?
What is that end to which one devoted to the observance of fasts attains?
It has been said that fasts are highly meritorious and that fasts are a great refuge.
O prince of men, what is the fruit that is earned in this world by the man that observe fasts?
By what means is one cleansed of one’s sins?
By what means does one acquire righteousness?
By what means, O best of the Bharatas, does one succeed in acquiring heaven and merit?
After having observed a fast, what should one give away?
Bhishma said:
In former days, O king, I heard of these high merits, O chief of Bharata’s race as attaching to the observance of fasts according to the ordinance,
I had O Bharata, asked the Rishi Angirasa of high ascetic merit, the very same questions which thou hast asked me today.
Questioned by me thus, the illustrious Rishi, who sprang from the sacrificial fire, answered me even thus in respect of the observance of fasts according to the ordinance.
Angirasa said:
As regards Brahmanas and Kshatriyas, fasts for three nights at a stretch are ordained for them, O delighter of the Kurus.
Indeed, O chief of men, a fast for one night, for two nights, and for three nights, may be observed by them.
As regards Vaisyas and Sudras, the duration of fasts prescribed for them is a single night.
If, from folly, they observe fasts for two or three nights, such fasts never lead to their advancement. Indeed, for Vaisyas and Sudras, fasts for two nights have been ordained (on certain special occasions).
Fasts for three nights, however, have not been laid down for them by persons conversant with and observant of duties.
That man of wisdom who, with his senses and soul under control, O Bharata, fasts, by abstaining from one of the two meals, on the fifth and the sixth days of the moon as also on the day of the full moon, becomes endued with forgiveness and beauty of person and conversance with the scriptures.
Such a person never becomes childless and poor.
He who performs sacrifices for adoring the deities on the fifth and the sixth days of the moon, transcends all the members of his family and succeeds in feeding a large number of Brahmanas.
He, who observes fasts on the eighth and the fourteenth days of the dark fortnight, becomes freed from maladies of every kind and possessed of great energy.
The man who abstains from one meal every day throughout the month calledMargasirsha, should with reverence and devotion, feeds a number of Brahmanas.
By so doing he becomes freed from all his sins. Such a man becomes endued with prosperity. He becomes endued with energy. In fact, such a person reaps an abundance of harvest from his fields, acquires great wealth and much corn.
That man, who passes the whole month of Pausha, abstaining every day from one of two meals, becomes endued with good fortune and agreeable features and great fame.
He who passes the whole month of Magha, abstaining every day from one of the two meals, takes birth in a high family and attains to a position of eminence among his kinsmen.
He who passes the whole month of Bhagadaivata (Phalgun), confining himself every day to only one meal becomes a favourite with women who, indeed, readily own his sway.
He who passes the whole of the month of Chaitra, confining himself every day to one meal, takes birth in a high family and becomes rich in gold, gems, and pearls.
The person, whether male or female, who passes the month of Vaisakha, confining himself or herself every day to one meal, and keeping his or her senses under control, succeeds in attaining to a position of eminence among kinsmen.
The person who passes the month of Jyaishtha confining himself every day to one meal a day, succeeds in attaining to a position of eminence and great wealth. If a woman, she reaps the same reward.
He who passes the month of Ashadha confining himself to one meal a day and with senses steadily concentrated upon his duties, becomes possessed of much corn, great wealth, and a large progeny.
He who passes the month of Sravana confining himself to one meal a day, receives the honours of Abhisheka wherever he may happen to reside, and attains to a position of eminence among kinsmen whom he supports.
That man who confines himself to only one meal a day for the whole month ofProshthapada (Bhadrapad), becomes endued with great wealth and attains, to swelling and durable affluence.
The man who passes the month of Aswin, confining himself to one meal a day, becomes pure in soul and body, possessed of animals and vehicles in abundance, and a large progeny.
He who passes the month of Kartika, confining himself to one meal every day, becomes possessed of heroism, many spouses, and great fame.
I have now told thee, O chief of men what the fruits are that are obtained by men observing fasts for the two and ten months in detail
There is no Sastra superior to the Veda.
There is no person more worthy of reverence than the mother.
There is no acquisition superior to that of Righteousness, and no penance superior to fast.
There is nothing, more sacred in heaven or earth than Brahmanas. After the same manner there is no penance that is superior to the observance of fasts.
It was by fasts that the deities have succeeded in becoming denizens of heaven.
It is by fasts that the Rishis have attained to high success.
Chyavana and Jamadagni and Vasishtha and Gautama and Brigu – all these great Rishis endued with the virtue of forgiveness, have attained to heaven through observance of fasts.
In former days Angirasa declared so unto the great Rishis.
The man who teaches another the merit of fasts have never to suffer any kind of misery.
The ordinances about fasts, in their due order, O son of Kunti, have flowed from the great Rishi Angiras.
The man who daily reads these ordinances or hears them read, becomes freed from sins of every kind.
Not only is such a person freed from every calamity, but his mind becomes incapable of being touched by any kind of fault.
Such a person succeeds in understanding the sounds of all creatures other than human, and acquiring eternal fame, become foremost of his species.
He calls the torturing of the body by standing midst fire, standing on one leg, going without food for a considerable period of time, as Asura,
as being inferior, to emphasize the importance of Human body.
This being the stand of the Hindu Scriptures, it is not surprising that Digestion is dealt with in detail in sporadic references( in many a place) in the
Food, what is good and how to eat, Lord Krishna explains in the Bhagavad Gita.
Refer my posts on this subject.
Food that we eat is digested by the Jataraakni, a form of Fire.
Fire has Ten Primary Forms.
They are.
1..Ordinary Fire.
2.Lightning
3.The Sun.
4.Jataraagni(digestive fire).
5.Destructive like forest fire.
6.Fire that is produced by the rubbing of sticks for performance of Homas.
7.Fire that is given to student at the time of his Upanayana
8.Fire that has been kept at Home by ancestor for domestic rituals.
9.The Southern Fire of ancestors used in certain rituals and
10.The Funeral Fire for cremation.
Ayurveda lists thirteen fires, some Smritis refer to Four, some Five.
Details provided towards the close of this Post.
Jataraagni is the Agni that is involved in Digestion.
How the Jataragni Digests Food.
Jataraagni, in conjunction with the ten Forms of Air(Vaayu), performs the following functions of Digestion.
Along with Jataraagni Rechakam and Paasakam it cooks the food by heating, now explained by Science Hypochondriac Acid, which incidentally has
the property of Heat and corrosion,
Dries the Food as Shobakam( this comes out as waste from the Body),
Thaakaham, Burning the Food to create calories, Energy and
Plaavakam, Filling the cells with the essence of Food,
With the help of Five Upa Vaayus, spreads the essence through the body.
These ten are the Modifications of Agni in the Human Body involved in Digestion.(Bhavanopanishad)
Toxins might be present in the food we eat.
Toxins are referred to as Ama.
“Ama is a word from the Sanskrit language,
the language of the Vedas and early Ayurveda
medical texts. It is a word we might nowadays
translate as ‘toxins’, but it is both more
elaborate and more subtle than the word
toxins might suggest. Literally the word ama
means ‘unripened’ or ‘uncooked’ and refers to
any product that passes through our digestive
system without being completely digested or
‘cooked’. We’ve all heard of environmental
toxins, but ama toxins are of our own making…
The fire bio-energy present in the stomach
and upper small intestine (jathara in Sanskrit)
is known as the jatharagni. Ayurveda has
revealed 13 different agnisin the human body,
however jatharagni is the most important, as
the other 12 are dependent upon it.
This ama is so insidious that even traditional
Sanskrit synonyms for disease, such as
‘amaya’, ring with its name. Ama is described
as being a particularly sticky, heavy, turbid and
foul-smelling substance. It has the tendency
to accumulate in the gastro-intestinal tract
and then overflow into the circulatory system,
to eventually deposit into weak tissues around
the body (for example joints, in the case of
ama-induced arthritis). These tissues may be
genetically weak, nutritionally deprived, have
been damaged through injury or weakened by
negative emotions. Once lodged in these sites,
ama is well-placed to interrupt the
functioning and status of the affected tissue.
At that level of cellular interference, ama
deprives the cells of nourishment and energy,
and that’s how we’ll feel – dull, sluggish and
tired all the time. Also, the body’s waste
products will take on the characteristics of
ama – stools will become sticky strong smelling, urine becomes odorous and
cloudy, and perspiration (considered a waste
product or ‘mala’ in ayurveda) will also
become particularly unpleasant in odour…
Why is it important to balance the agni
(the digestive fire)?
• The nutrition required by all living cells is
dependant on a balanced and complete
digestive process.
• Imbalanced agni leaves an unprocessed
residue which accumulates as toxic ama.
• Digestive abilities on all levels (‘digestion’ of
all physical, sensory and mental experiences)
rely on balanced agni.
• Production of ojas will be improved (ojas
supports our immunity, strength and
experience of bliss).
• This helps to maintain normal bodyweight
for your body type.
How can I tell if my agni is balanced?
SIGNS OF BALANCED AGNI
• You will experience normal appetite at
mealtimes
• You will leave the table feeling comfortable,
refreshed and energised with a feeling of
satisfaction and no bloating or digestive
distress
• You will produce well-formed faeces
without strong smell
• You can eat all types of food without
disturbances
• Your complexion will glow.
SIGNS OF IMBALANCED AGNI
• If agni is excessive there may be a raging
appetite outside of mealtimes; if underactive
there may be complete lack of interest in food.
• You might leave the table feeling heavy,
lethargic, bloated, gassy, or with heartburn
and belching
• Faeces will not be well-formed, will have
foul odour, tend to stick to the bowl and
possibly contain undigested food.
• Sensitivity to many foods, food intolerances
and allergies.
• Dull complexion.
Why did my agni become ‘imbalanced’?
• Eating on the run, skipping meals
• Eating while emotionally upset
• Overconsumption of cold, liquid substances
eg ice water”
”
Charaka has mentioned about 13 Agnis. Jatharagni – 1, Bhutagni – 5, Dhatvagni – 7 (Ch.Chi.15/38).[13]
According to Acharya Sushruta, five types of Agnis are illustrated, viz. Pachakagni, Ranjakagni, Alochakagni, Sadhakagni and Bhrajakagni. However, there is an indirect reference of fiveBhutagnis underlying in the brief description made to the transformation of food stuff. (Sh.Su.21/10.)[14]
Vagbhata has described different types Agni, viz. – Bhutagnis – 5,– Dhatvagnis – 7, –Dhoshagni – 3 and– Malagni – 3.
Sharangadhara has recognized five pittas only (Pachak, Bhrajak, Ranjak, Alochaka andSadhak) (Sha.Sa.Pu.Kh.-5/32).[15]
Bhavamishra has followed Acharya Charaka and Vagbhata (Bh.Pu.Kh.-3/169,180).[16]
Agni has been divided into 13 types according to the function and site of action. These are:
Jatharagni – one Agni present in the stomach and duodenum.
Bhutagni – five Agni from five basic elements.
Dhatwagni – seven Agni present, one in each of the seven dhatus.
Accordingly, they are classified into three groups, namely Jatharagni, Bhutagni and Dhatvagni.”
As more diseases are discovered(?), the treatment becomes more Complex.
So are the disciplines of Medicine,
Medical Science has the vicarious pleasure using high-sounding names even for simple Diseases,one gets scared on hearing the names.
As Medicine gets more specialized, the total picture of the body is often lost, with some of the doctors, not sure enough about other parts of the body other than the part they have specialized in.
Then we have the Pharmaceutical Companies use all the guile at their disposal to mislead you, where they keep quiet about the side effects of the medicines you take.
And many of us are scared to ask the Doctor in detail about our ailment and the course of treatment he is using, its ramifications and the side effects of the drugs he is prescribing.
But one must, notwithstanding the irritation of some Doctors, ask and discuss with the Doctor these issues, after all it is your Body.
It would be helpful if one has some information about the disease one has ,its symptoms, possible courses of treatment, in a simple language.
National Institute of Medicine,under the aegis of the US Government hs come out with a Medical site that explains the diseases in detail.
In a simple language.
The information is provided in text/interactive format.
“In the great teaching of the Vedas,
there is no touch of sectarianism.
It is of all ages, climes and nationalities
and is the royal road for the attainment of the Great Knowledge. ”
Cancer was identified and methods of Healing included total eliination of cancer, Management .handling weight loss associated with Cancer and the side effects of Cancer.
Twenty Five plants have been identified, their chemical and therapeutic properties analysed and were used in treating Cancer.
