Q: Can one progress spiritually by fasting?
Sri Ramana Maharshi : Fasting should be chiefly mental [abstention from thoughts]. Mere abstinence from food will do no good, it will even upset the mind. Spiritual unfoldment will come rather by regulating eating. But if, during a fast of one month, the spiritual outlook has been maintained, then in about ten days after the breaking of the fast (if it be rightly broken and followed by judicious eating) the mind will become pure and steady, and remain so. In the early days after my coming here, I had my eyes closed and I was so deeply absorbed in meditation that I hardly knew whether it was day or night. I had no food and no sleep. WIf there is no movement, you do not need sleep. Very little food is enough to sustain life. That used to be my experience. Somebody or other used to offer me a tumbler of some liquid diet whenever I opened my eyes. That was all I ever ate. But remember one thing: except when one is absorbed in a state where the mind is motionless, it is not possible to give up sleep or food altogether. When the body and mind are engaged in the ordinary pursuits of life, the body reels if you give up food and sleep. There are differing theories concerning how much a sadhaka should eat and how much he should sleep. Some say that it is healthy to go to bed at 10 p.m. and wake up at 2 a.m. That means that four hours sleep is enough. Some say that four hours sleep is not enough, but that it should be six hours. It amounts to this, that sleep and food should not be taken in excess. If you want to cut off either of them completely, your mind will always be directed towards them. Therefore, the sadhaka should do everything in moderation. There is no harm in eating three to four times a day. But only do not say `I want this kind of food and not that kind' and so on. Moreover, you take these meals in twelve hours of waking whereas you are not eating in twelve hours of sleep. Does sleep lead you to mukti? It is wrong to suppose that simple inactivity leads one to mukti.

This Drama of protest will continue till March 2027 with breaks & intervals. Calling it Drama as the genuine protest was later hijacked by goons and anti nationals. Main Target is Uttar Pradesh Election and FCRA bill. Yogi 3.0 is definitely loading. Once transit Rahu will be closer to Yogiji's natal Rahu, with his Venus bhukti starting November 2026 onwards, Yogiji @myogiadityanath will start showing better leadership and performance. Predicted in many of my interviews that high chances of Yogi Adityanath ji coming to centre in the end of 2027 or starting of 2028. Once Yogiji will come to centre, left wingers, anti nationals will disappear from TV channels, news headlines. They will keep crying for next few decades saying Modi was avatar of Bhagwan😁. SAVE IT
Cockroach was serving food to protestors at Jantar Mantar, saying: "This is the food prepared for Modi's tehravi. Anyone who wants to enjoy can come and eat it."
Now, facing social media backlash, she's playing the victim, crying that she's receiving death threats.
Here's the thing about these liberals: the males have low upper body strength and the females are mentally fragile. The only reason they are able to act violent is because india is still a soft state compared with the US, Russia and China.
Ask them to kick the photographs of the three Pahalgam terrorists and they will quietly walk away.
Ask them to condemn Yasin Malik for the killing of Indian Air Force personnel in Kashmir and they will immediately shift to whataboutery.
Ask whether their religious beliefs advocates equal access for girls to science and technology education, and you will be labelled Islamophobic.
Ask whether they support the Uniform Civil Code, and the discussion on education and the Constitution will suddenly disappear.

None has dared to speak the truth.

Who says Tradition and Technology can not go hand in hand...This IITian has very early understood that education is not just limited to technology as there is no end to knowledge. Salute to his hard work , dedication and motivation.
Look at how he is mocking PM Modi in this way, while Central Government ministers shake hands with him as if he is their friend. Seriously, this is beyond ridiculous.

Vipus has supplied advanced composite components to Skyroot Aerospace. So Skyroot's successful launch feels even more special!
Vipus is among the fastest companies to qualify as a HAL Class I supplier, with orders for LCA Tejas aircraft structures, and is working with L&T Precision Engineering Systems.
Proud of you Vipus, make Bharat manufacturing great! 🙏
