Prime Minister Narendra Modi's fasting is public knowledge but the unique thing is that American podcaster Lex Friedman also kept a 45-hour fast before the Prime Minister's interview. In the discussion with Lex, the PM was surprised when Lex said that he kept a 45-hour fast to ask questions on fasting.
PM Modi said that fasting is not just about giving up food but it is a scientific process and it is related to traditional and Ayurvedic practices. In our religious scriptures, how to take the body, mind, intellect, soul, and human element to a higher level, all these topics have been explained. There are some traditions too. One of these is fasting. Most people think that fasting means just giving up food but it is not so.
PM Modi told how he fasts.
The PM said that he keeps Chaturmas for about four and a half months from June to October. In this, he eats only once a day. In the nine days of Navratri, he eats only one fruit once a day. But before fasting, I hydrate myself well (completely with liquids).
Lex asked if you visited any country during the fast. On this, PM Modi said that once he was on a visit to America during the fast. He had a meeting with then-President Barack Obama. In which there was also dinner. When he was told that I was on a fast, he got upset. When he went to America again, he said that this time you would have to eat the last time's portion as well.
The benefits of meditation and the Gayatri Mantra enumerated
During the discussion, PM enumerated the benefits of meditation and Gayatri Mantra and said that Gayatri Mantra is a mantra for worshipping the Sun. The Hindu worship method is connected to nature and scientific thinking. It gives new energy to both the mind and brain. During this, Lex also recited Gayatri Mantra and Om Shanti-Om Shanti mantras to PM. He also asked the PM if he read it correctly. The PM said that you were very close.
