When in good health, observe a complete fast on the appropriate fasting days. For householders, the fasting days are the eleventh day (''ekádashii'') after both the new moon (''amávasyá'') and the full moon (''púrńimá''). For renunciates, the fasting days are ''ekádashii'', ''amávasyá'', and ''púrńimá''. In other words, householders fast twice in a lunar month, and renunciates fast four times in a lunar month. The extra time and attention from not eating should be dedicated to contemplation of the Supreme (''upavása'', living near the Lord). | When in good health, observe a complete fast on the appropriate fasting days.
