Rules to follow
Lord Brahma further says that the person who undertakes a vrat has to observe a few rules. He :
There are many types of vrats and observing an upvaas (fast) is one of these. Keeping a fast is very common in Hindu culture. Apart from the spiritual and religious significance of fasting, it does a lot of good to the physical body. Apart from the spiritual and religious significance of fasting, it does a lot of good to the physical body and mind : toxins are removed and fasting helps in controlling emotions, passions and the senses and both the mind and heart are purified. Fating completely overhauls the urinary circulatory, digestive and respiratory systems.After observing a complete fast, one's mind is at peace and one can progress in meditation and contemplation.
There are many recommended fasts related to the lunar dates and months or to the transition of the sun from one Zodiacal sign to the next.
