Chandra's Random Updates!

Yesterday (26th Oct 2010) was a special Sankashta Chaturthi as it fell on a Tuesday. I heard that fasting on this day is equivalent to observing the fast for 21 days :). Researching on internet, found this link that mentions it to be Angarak Ganesh Chaturthi and explains why it’s special. Thought it’s a good time to start fasting on this day – with only fluids until moonrise. But reading through this link , it looks like you cannot have any fluids except water and that too in limited quantities. Dates of sankashta chaturthi for this year are here .
