Chaturmas fasting rules: What to eat, what to avoid, and why

Chaturmas, or "four sacred months," is a sacred time from Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi to Kartik Shukla Ekadashi in the Hindu calendar. It is a time of austerity, devotion, and self-purification, because it is said that Lord Vishnu falls into a meditative sleep (Yoga Nidra). The believers follow a sattvic (pure) diet to cleanse the body and mind for that much awaited spiritual awakening.
