‘I am on a fast for 45 hours to talk to you’, when PM Modi was surprised to hear American Podcaster Lex Freedman – PM Modi EXCLUSIVE PODCAST With American Podcaster Lex Fridman Ntc

American Podcaster Lex Freedman surprised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that he had been fast for about two days before the conversation. Inaugurating the podcast, Freedman said, “I would like to tell you that I have fasted. Now it’s 45 hours i.e. two days. I am just drinking water, food is stopped. I have done this for respect and preparation of this conversation so that we should talk in a spiritual way. After this, he asked PM Modi the question that I have heard that you will also have a lot of fasting?

Answers to this, PM Modi said that it is a great surprise for me that you kept fast. And he also kept it from the role that it was happening in my honor. I thank you a lot for this. The religious traditions in India are actually lifestyle. Our Supreme Court has explained Hinduism very well. The Supreme Court has said that there is no name of any worship in Hinduism, but it is a way of life, a method of living life. In our scriptures, how to take the body, mind, intellect, soul, human element to height, all these are also discussed, there are ways. There are traditions, arrangements. There is also a fast in it. Fasting is not everything. In India, whether you see it culturally or philosophically, sometimes, I see that fast for discipline is a way.

PM Modi said that if I keep it in simple words, or explain it to the audience who are unfamiliar with India, then it is a powerful means of bringing both internal and external balance. It is also useful in creating life. When you fast, you must have seen, as you said, you have been fasting on water for two days. As many senses are your senses, especially fragrance, touch, taste, it must have become so aware that your fragrance will also come. If you have drunk water before, you would not have felt the aroma. If someone passes by taking tea from you, then you will feel its aroma, just as you feel with coffee. That is, all your senses become very active and their ability to inspect and respond increases.

He said that the second experience is that fasting makes your thought effect very sharp. They give newness. You start thinking out. Most people feel that fasting means not eating food. This is only a physical aspect of fasting. If someone does not get food due to difficulty, then how will he consider him a fast. This is a scientific process. Whenever I fast for a long time, I prepared my body in advance. 5 to 7 days before fasting, I follow various Ayurvedic exercises and yoga exercises as well as other traditional methods to clean my system internally. In fact, I drink as much water as possible before starting the fast. So, you can say that this detoxification process helps to prepare my body in the best possible way. And once I start fasting, it becomes a work of devotion for me.

PM Modi said that fasting is a kind of self-discipline for me. No matter how much activity I do at the time of fasting, but I remain lost in the mind. I live within me and that my experience is a very transformative for me. By reading any books in this fast, due to preaching or for some reason in my family, fasting is not arising from it. This has come from my own personal experience. During my school days, we had a movement about the desire of Mahatma Gandhi, there was a movement about cow protection. The government was not making laws. At that time, fasting was done in public places across the country. We were children then, perhaps just left the primary school. I was saying something inside me that I should be a part of it. And this was the first experience in my life. At that young age, I am neither feeling hungry nor any desire. As I was receiving a consciousness, I was getting new energy. Then I realized that this is a science. Then I slowly tried to create my body and my mind with many experiments.
