Fasting: Complete abstination from desire-Physical of Mental, schieves Peace Mind. Peace of Mind in its turn purifies the Soul and a Pure Soul Ascends to Heaven. . Of all the Fasts-the fast of EKADASHI, of which a human has the chance twice a month, is of the greatest eminence and it is ordained that whoever rigidly adhered to Complete Abstination of Desire: of Fasts: on these days has heaven within his grasp. . In the days of the benign King Rukmangad of Ayudhya, the King and all his subjects, Proud or Humble, adhered to this Fast and as a result, while they lived on this planet theyr had Peace of Mind and therefore Temporal Bliss and after death ascended to Heaven. . Now that all Ayudhya people went to Heaven-and Ayudhya was a vast and populous kingdom-the population of Hell fell colossally. . This caused great anxiety to the King of Hell-YAMRAJ, as his Prowess as King narrowed down with the diminished numbers. He took upon himself to create a breach in the strict observance of the fast by the King Rukmangad: as like King, like subjects, all would follow suit and prosperity would reign supreme in Hell. . But all the manoeuvres of Yamraj fell flat against the religious fervour with which the King followed the observance. . As a last resort, Yamraj got Mohini by supplicating to Brahma. . Mohini-beauty incarnate in female from-was a power that subdued all it saw; sages of saints, high of low. . The ordeal of purring up resistance to this force was too much for Rukmangad and he staggered. . Diamond cuts diamound and woman does likewise. The Maharani Sandhyavalli knew thid and her efforts and sacrifices to save her lord proved all in vain. The Kings heroic struggles against beauty aroused were wasted and when all seemed black for this holy pair thier son, Dharmangad, rose to the sally of beauty. Child against beauty-both the highest creations of the Almighty were arrayed face to face. Check out this page for more updates on Ekadashi.
