Re: Questions about Rama Navami Fasting

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!
Dandavats and obeissances.

Dear Swami Gaurangapada,

Thanks for the quick reply and explanation. Yes this is what I have been doing, not eating any grains on these days. I just drink milk and then lightly roast almonds and cashews mixed with raisins and sometimes coconut oil so there is no problem getting enough food.  I was just wondering if we needed a full no food at all fast on all these days. Of course on these days I eat less anyhow, just enough so I'm not  uncomfortable.
On  Gaura Purnima, Nityananda Trayodasi, Krishna Janmastami,  Lord Balarama appearance and Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi  I do a full fast and try to get off work at least a day or two before and after so it is easier on me.
And I guess we should also refrain from grains on the appearance and disappearance days of Bhaktivinoda, Bhaktisiddhanta, and Bhaktivedanta?
Anyway thanks again.

Your servant
Jagannatha Gauranga dasa
