Spiritual

The first and most important thing in preparing yourself for a fast is to think about what you want to receive from it, why you are doing it. The more clearly you can define your goals, the more conscious you will be during the fast and the more you will gain from it.

Medical

“Honey works differently from antibiotics, which attack the bacteria’s cell wall or inhibit intracellular metabolic pathways. Honey is hygroscopic, meaning it draws moisture out of the environment and thus dehydrates bacteria.” This happens because honey is a saturated (or supersaturated) solution of sugars, with 84 percent of the honey being a mixture of fructose and glucose. The water content in honey is usually only 15–21 percent by weight. The strong interaction of these sugar molecules with water molecules leaves very few of the water molecules available to support the survival—let alone growth—of microorganisms.

During my childhood I saw many sadhus in my home town as it is a holy place. But I was not much familiar with their activities. In the north side of my home there are some big ashrams for sadhus. They woke up early in the morning around 4 o'clock and chant the word 'soham'. They also sang a song whose wording was some thing like that: " uth jaag mussafir bhor hua ab rein kha jo sovat hai, jo sovat hai vo khovat hai, jo jagat hai vo pavat hai ......." I also woke up early in the morning for study, so I also enjoyed this song parallel to my study.
