The Spiritual Essence of Upvas

Vrat (vow) and Upvas (fasting) goes beyond mere dietary restrictions. In the Vedic tradition, it is a practice of self-discipline (Tapasya) that helps in purifying the antahkarana (inner psyche) and strengthening one's connection with the Divine.

By observing these sacred days at the right Tithi, we align our biological and spiritual rhythms with the lunar cycles, fostering mental clarity, physical health, and spiritual growth. Each Vrat carries a unique psychological and spiritual intended outcome, helping us balance our karmic accounts.
