Upvas



Kakasaheb Karkhanis* used to do upvas* on Monday, because that was his father’s last desire, not for meditational reason. Gurudev asked him, “Does your meditation get better on Monday because of upvas?” “No, infact I cant do good name due to staying hungry” replied kakasaheb. Gurudev used to tell, for good name to happen, eat one meal a day.

* Kakasaheb Karkhanis – A very senior disciple of Gurudev.
* upvas- starving for meditation. It is believed that if one eats little food, he can do meditation better.
