Rama and Hanuman
The full moon influences all life and consciousness, symbolizing completeness. Its energy affects nature and human health, making fasting beneficial on this day. Fasting involves consuming only liquids, fruits, and vegetables, which can improve health and reduce blood pressure. What we eat is medicine, and cooking is a science for well-being. The story of Hanuman teaches that devotion must remain free from ego and doubt. Even great devotees can falter, but true devotion holds God within the heart, beyond all confusion.
"Pūrṇamadaḥ, pūrṇamidaṃ, pūrṇāt, pūrṇamudacyate... that Pūrṇa is also our self."
"When we lose our confidence—though we had confidence—but sometimes a certain constellation comes, and we are suddenly separated."
