Upvas Mahima (The Essence of Fasting)

उपवास है मन का संयम, इंद्रिय पर नियंत्रण। शुद्ध बुद्धि और भक्ति से, पावन हो यह जीवन। त्याग अन्न का, ध्यान प्रभु का, आत्मा का हो शुद्धिकरण।
Transliteration
Upavaas hai man ka sanyam, indriya par niyantran. Shuddha buddhi aur bhakti se, paavan ho yeh jeevan. Tyaag anna ka, dhyaan prabhu ka, aatma ka ho shuddhikaran.

Fasting is the restraint of the mind and control over the senses. Through pure intellect and devotion, may this life be sanctified. By renouncing food and focusing on the Lord, may the soul be purified.
