And what was that legit question ?

Whether faith is scientifically proven ?

That question applies to ALL of the religions in the world.

As for fasting , yes it does have scientifically proven health benefits.

I can ask you a million offensive questions on Islam which will make you run to your mama , but i will refrain till your next post and see how it goes. 😆

Wait for the victim card.. They only start the fight and then cry fowl if they get answered in the same language..

Of course I will want my future wife to keep KC for me. I will also keep for her learning it from my brother who keeps every year with his wife.

What else this festival brings in my family... For my mother and sister in law in their busy lives, this festival gives them a reason to spend some time together shopping from what they gonna wear on that special day to everything that comes over pooja thali. On the very day they get up together for the sargi and eating before sunrise. Must say a very good bonding activity for newly weds and a ritual there on.

What else... yeah my sister in law when she went abroad... she used to tell her how loneliness she felt on foreign land but here come Karva Chauth she decides to visit temple and to her surprise many ladies are there celebrating together. She joins one of the groups... something interesting happens here... she suddenly has a large group to hang out now.

What else... oh yea... loving all the photos of my brother share of my niece wearing traditional dress and enjoying getting mehandi in her hands and playing with other kids while her mother doing her thing in the temple.

Such a vibrant festival is KC... that i refuse to see it as a social peril.. i see about love and enjoying little moments and bonds family together.

itna saara discussion aur argument ho gaya is thread pe par but this post explains it so beautifully why KC is not some social evil that should be discarded and done away with. 👏👍🏼

I've observed similar things myself so I totally understand what u are saying, even though like Pro-vo-king I am really not comfortable with anyone fasting for me be it my future wife on KC or my mother who fasts for me on sakat.... (still haven't been able to convince my mom not to fast for me 😆)

Definitely. They had a certain wisdom which is lacking in people today. They may not have been as well educated as us, but they knew what is important in life. They also knew how to cultivate relationships without letting ego come in between and ruining everything.

When I fall sick, my Nani's herbal/homemade nuske are more helpful than allopathic medicine (which alleviates symptoms but causes other side effects). My Dadaji (God rest his soul) was always emphatic about self-sufficiency and growing own food, DIY projects and walking everywhere. He also advised us to eat a spoonful of ghee everyday because he believed it aided digestion and was good for us. Well what do you know, now the science is out that that is exactly what ghee does (among other beneficial things) after people were mislead for decades into believing that ALL fat is EVIL.😆

My parents mostly refused to take their wisdom and fell for the 'progressive' traps of the modern life. I am not about to make the same mistake.

Science is not infallible. Wisdom is important. So is experience and intuition.

Now people on social media are posting their macronutrients and the huge stacks of butter they purchased to make a statement about their healthy and 'alternative' lifestyles and diets. Now people are becoming aware about their carbon footprint. Now people are realising how utterly useless they are at creating something by using their own hands, thus becoming consumers by default. Now people are realising how important being connected to the Earth/land and family is for our mental wellbeing.

My illiterate (by today's standard) Dadaji knew all of this without a fancy degree or a bunch of PhDs. He just knew what was important in life and had the wisdom to distinguish between right and wrong.

beautiful post👍🏼

@bold - same

for so many years i avoided ghee , because of the scientific research & 'Facts' telling me that ghee, like other saturated fats is harmful for me... only recently did i read many other scientific researches claiming that ghee is actually one of the best fats for human consumption. Felt so stupid trying to educate my mom and other family members to try and quit eating ghee altogether... only to eat back my own words later on. 😆

Thanks.. my post looked good because this festival is like that... All were personal examples from real life.

Ok. I will give the pravachan.

Replace any names with X and Y.

1. If X fasts Y's lifespan does not increase. Any belief that the lifespan increases is balderdash.

2. Hypothetically, even if X can increase Y's lifespan by fasting, there is zero good reason why X should suffer for Y's benefit.

3. Even if X suffered and extended Y's lifespan, what if later Y is alive and bitter and alone.

4. If X and Y made a commitment based on equity then any fasting or life-extending should be mutual and not exclusive to X or Y.

5. The only time X or Y or any third party Z should fast is if they have a medical procedure like a blood test that requires overnight fasting.

6. If X or Y or any third party Z are masochists who feel joy, fulfillment, and sense of community by ritual fasting then they have full and complete freedom to do so. But don't bullshit around it. Admit that you are masochists who love to join other masochists in the thralls of ritual fasting.

👏

Ofcourse, eventually wives can choose what they want to do out of "love" for their husbands. I personally don't believe in this tradition and find it totally devoid of logic and very regressive. But everyone has the right to choose and do what they wanna, so be it. As long as it is not forced on a woman, let them do whatever they want.

That said, fasting every now and then is good. Everyone should do it...not just wives.

Kinda embarrassing when you clap for a post when the poster has already admitted to trolling and not being serious about it .. 😆

There's nothing to be embarrassed about. She may have said all those things in a light-hearted manner, but her points make sense to me at least. Me fasting is not going to increase the longevity of my spouse. That is a fact. But as I said, those who wanna do it, do it. I personally find the custom silly and illogical.
