Abstract: Let me begin this ritual with a personal experiment: during ‘ekadashi’, I remain flabbergasted with the supreme energy in the body and the mind. This Vedic tradition is a struggle for existence and this ritual is concerned within the physical and social culture of our lives. ‘Ekadashi’ is a fasting system of the body and worshiping Lord Krishna, avatar of Lord Bishnu with chanting mantra to make a divine relationship with Lord Krishna. ‘Chanting mantra’ will vibrate in every cell of blood and destroy the toxic system of the body and sinful thought and sight in our everyday existence, then, this system will construct a detoxified body and a new anti-sinful lovable philosophy to the society. And also it makes us free from stress, anxiety, high blood pressure and high tension. ‘Self-purification’ happens by reading the verses of The Srimad Bhagavad Gita. This ritual assists to eliminate ninety percent of diseases of the body. ‘Ekadashi’ becomes a spiritual scientific sustainable traditional fasting in every dark fortnight and bright fortnight every twelve months. By taking the leftovers of Lord Krishna, I break the fast in the next morning and also read the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. This system provides me with a spiritual sustainable magnetic power to the body to live happily without taking medicine. This system also gives me an ‘aesthetic pleasure’ to the mind and my senses become free from any kind of disease. Peace comes to the mind as a blessing of Lord Krishna. This is not only the way to the redemption of sin to reach heaven but also a scientific system to release our body from different kinds of disease. The full body and mind become a fit body and free from any other negative influences. Peace and spirituality knock at the door of the heart to carry on and to digitize this system to live for others. This article about ‘Ekadashi’ fasting will remain as an anecdote to the masses to live peacefully and fitly in society.
