Re: Nine Things to Do on the Holy Days

Dear Jagannatha Gauranga dasa, Great advanced bhajanaanandi Acharyas like Shrila Gaura Kishore Dasa babaji did fast fully on the days of the prominent Acharyas. But since these Holy Days are too frequent in the year, it may not be practically possible for the normal devotees to fast for the whole day from grain-food for so many days in year. So it is optional. If desired, one can do a fast from grain-food on the days of a few special Acharyas who have influenced one's life the most by their teachings to show our sincere gratitude. But that is also optional. It is recommended though that one tries to skip breakfast on these Holy Days of the Acharyas and fast till noon either fully or at least from grain-food while remembering their pastimes and teachings. Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna!

Daaso'smi, BR Sadhu Swami Gaurangapada.
