Theoretically, fifteen hand full of food should be taken in the full moon day and it should be reduced one hand full every day, so that on a new moon day it becomes a total fast. Again the food is increased one hand full every day, so that it becomes fifteen hand full on a full moon day. Maharshi Patanjali tells “Kayendriyasiddhih Ashuddhikshayat Tapasah” [II 43], the purification of body along with sensory organs which are the parts of mind can be achieved by adopting proper Tapas – Austerity.
