On this date, fasting is done by staying without water, hence the name "nirjala", meaning waterless. According to the Vedic Classics, the movement of the moon on the day of Ekadashi has a direct correlation with the human body and mind. It is believed that during Ekadashi, the water in the body shifts in such a way that it puts pressure on the senses, making them more prone to worldly pleasure. Water occupies 70% of the human body and thus is under heavy influence of the moon on this day. Hence, to keep the system in order, devotees and spiritual seekers recourse to Nirjal fasts (fast without water). Meditating and worshipping god on this day generate favourable influence on the mind and helps in spiritual elevation. senses devotees resort to Upavsa. Upavasa also means to reside (vasa) nearby (upa), that is moving closer to the almighty or spiritual consciousness. It is believed that by observing fast on these days, one counteracts negative influence generated by the influence of the moon. By fasting mind attains maximum efficiency giving the brain a better capacity to meditate. When dry fasting, even more, stem cells are released into the blood than usual, a fact that has been proven scientifically. During dry fasting, the body begins a cleansing process that rids itself of old and sick cells. This creates vacated space in tissues for new stem cells. Stem cells are released into the blood in higher volume, occupying this vacated “space” and promoting regeneration and rejuvenation processes. The regular practice of dry fasting can extend life, youth, and vitality by 15 – 25 years. ======================= 🧬 *HEALTH CARE: HOME REMEDIES*🩺 ( *Note* : These home tips followed in villages/ancient traditions, it is up to you to use it or not🙏🏻) ======================= *Oxygen Level* Check Through Oximeter 👉 94 - Normal 👉 95 To 100 - Good Oxygen Level 👉 94 To 90- Low Oxygen Level 👉 Below 90- Very Low Oxygen Level...
