Fasting in the monastic community is considered an ascetic practice, a “dhutanga” practice. Dhutanga means “to shake up” or “invigoration”. The Buddha, as is well known, emphasized moderation, the Middle Way that avoids extremes, in all things. Fasting is an additional method that one can take up, with supervision, for a time.

sayings.

- Upanishads

There is a "point of creativity" lying in the deep recesses of your mind which only
gets activated by concentration. And without that point being active, no success
can be achieved in life.
- Deep Trivedi
