DEVOTEES SHOULD AVOID RELIGIOUS FASTING-BABA ADVICE

When we are hungry we only think about food and wait eagerly to fulfill our hunger.At that time we can't concentrate on anything .With feeling of hunger and weak body we can't see GOD and worship him with devotion and pray him.That is the reason why BABA never allows his devotees to do fasting on festival days. overeating is unhealthy in the same way fasting is also unhealthy in opinion of SAI NATHA. He also said " I never allow my devotees to do fasting on holi festival". But, the next day one devotee GOKHALE wife thought to do fasting in SHIRIDI for 3 days and came to Masjid. BABA came to know this and said " What is the necessity to do fasting? Go to DADA BATTU house cook sweet serve children and you also eat". She was upset with BABA words.At that time holi festival came and DADA BATTU wife was not in house.As nobody was there in the house to cook,Fortunately she obeyed BABA order. she only cooked, served the children and she also ate.
