1. Rama-navami fasting

    Dr. Patel … raised the topic of fasting for Rama-navami, suggesting that one should fast throughout the night, until the following morning. A devotee volunteered that we fasted until sunset. Prabhupada agreed but added, “If one can continue until the next morning, that’s all right.”

    Later, I asked Prabhupada when we should actually break the fast, and he replied that I should inquire when the local temples broke theirs and then follow their standard. It turned out that they broke their fasts at noon, so that day we did too.
