00:00 Can Gurudev Bhagwan take the prasad on the temple during fasting or not?
00:06 I do regular fasting on Tuesdays and I get prasad on the temple.
00:10 So, does taking it make the fasting important or not?
00:14 The rule in the scriptures about fasting is that
00:17 one should eat it as soon as it comes into one's hands.
00:20 One should not keep it for a little while.
00:23 And fasting says, "Don't eat anything today.
00:25 You should not eat food today."
00:28 So, there is a situation of religious conflict.
00:31 In such a situation of religious conflict,
00:33 a middle path is found.
00:35 So, the method of that middle path is
00:38 that of the scholars, saints, and devotees.
00:41 They have already found it
00:43 because this problem is known to many.
00:47 The solution is that
00:49 you should apply the prasad on your forehead.
00:52 Applying it on the forehead means that it has been accepted.
00:54 If possible, you should smell it.
00:56 Smelling it will remove the smell from your body.
00:59 If you look at it properly,
01:01 it will remove the smell from your body.
01:03 Now you can give it to someone.
01:05 So, what will happen with this?
01:07 You have got the prasad and you have accepted it.
01:10 Your fasting has not been broken.
01:12 And the prasad has not been disrespected.
01:14 Either keep it for tomorrow
01:16 or give it to some other devotee
01:18 who is not facing such a problem.
