<p>In the discipline of Krsna consciousness, fasting at regular intervals is highly recommended for both physical and spiritual improvement. The science of nutrition teaches that periodic fasting greatly benefits the body by giving the digestive organs a rest and allowing for internal cleansing. The body then functions much more efficiently. Even more important for devotees of Krsna, however, is the spiritual benefit to be gained by fasting on certain auspicious days, strictly following the rules and regulations. Thus Krsna conscious devoteses are enjoined to fast twice a month, on the eleventh day of both the waxing and the waning moon. As described in this book, one who fasts on this day, called Ekadasi, attains not only physical benefit but tremendous spiritual benefit as well.</p>

<p>Over the centuries, researchers have found bones and artifacts proving that humans like us have existed for millions of years. Mainstream science, however, has suppressed these facts. Prejudices based on current scientific theory act as a "knowledge filter," giving us a picture of prehistory that is largely incorrect.</p>
