Yes. You read it correctly. I will not take food tomorrow for the entire day. It is VAIKANTAEK DASI means this is an auspicious day for the Lord Vishnu as per Hinduism. People get up early in the morning and after taking bath in a holy river they go to the temple. This temple preferably will be a LORD VISHNU TEMPLE. They perform prayer and reach home. Take the name of God throughout the day. Listen to all devotional prayers and songs. There will be discourses given by eminent philosophers. People view movies of Lord Vishnu or Balaji and go on chanting his name. During the night they take some light tiffin and again spend time always chanting and remembering the name of the Lord. They will not sleep for the whole night. The next day after washing their faces they take their bath and after lighting a lamp they take their food. The doors of Heaven will remain open on this day and people who are lucky and have done good deeds will have an opportunity to go to Heaven. It is also believed that people who die on this day will directly go to Heaven irrespective of whether doing good or bad deeds. Can a sinner have an immunity from Punishment? Is God so great to absolve and show mercy on the sinner? Is it not unjust? The interpretation seems to be quite wrong. As per my opinion, this day is meant for the people, other than sinner, to take a short-cut to reach heaven. Thus this is meant for good people who die on this day. But, not for all in a sweeping manner. I am a sinner. A total sinner. So, God need not show any mercy on me. What all I want is only a peaceful death without suffering from any diseases. That is enough for me.

Fasting includes almost all religions in India. But methods and cultures are really different.

i think i have some contradictions with what you believe in. God forgives even if we commit the most grievous sins.

sounds like you have thought very deeply about this 'Feastday' and its meaning. I will think of you when I eat 'tomorrow'.
