Why should I not eat / drink after sunset ???

Do you know that Laxmanji, while bidding good-bye to his wife, Vanmala (on his way to Vanvaas), assured her that he would never forget her by giving a commitment that if he forgets her then he would be doing PAAP EQUIVALENT TO KILLING A PERSON.

However, Vanmala only got comfort when Laxmanji took the vow that if he forgets her, then he would be doing PAAP EQUIVALENT TO EATING AT NIGHT.

The above incidence of Ramayan clearly establishes that EATING AFTER SUNSET.....is a BIG PAAP......EVEN BIGGER THAN KILLING A PERSON.

Despite knowing that eating / drinking after sunset is a BIG Paap, it has become a common feature for most of us that sadly, today WE ALL are not bothered about WHAT WE EAT & WHEN WE EAT...

You may think that eating / drinking before sunset is very difficult FOR ME.... But Hopefully with Prabhu Krupa and after understanding the severe consequences of eating / drinking after sunset, you will definitely be able to quit this. SO PLEASE READ THIS EMAIL CAREFULLY!!!

Apart from Jainism, even science and various other religions propagate the message of “EAT / DRINK BEFORE SUNSET”. See attached fliers.

Some glimpses of reasons for eating / drinking before sunset are mentioned below:

SCIENTIFIC REASONS - TAKING CARE OF OUR HEALTH IN THIS LOK 

-     The food stuff consumed during night hours (i.e. in the absence of solar energy), creates digestive problem, stomach disorders, several diseases and laziness

-     Number of invisible insects increases many fold after the sunset which affects and spoil food

-     Medical opinions do not support eating after sunset. Eating before sunset can help in curing many diseases

RELIGIOUS REASONS - TAKING CARE OF OUR ATMA IN PARLOK 

-     Eating after sunset is a “National highway to Narak” - Sage Markandey says in Markand Puran

-     Not only eating / drinking after sunset is Paap, but even eating in darkroom during the day time and eating in narrow mouthful vessels is a Paap

-     Likely rebirth as owl, crow, cat, vulture, antelop, pig, snake, scorpion for those having food after sunset

Now that you have know several negative consequences of eating / drinking after sunset both from our health and also from parlok perspective, please make one principle “I WILL ALWAYS EAT / DRINK BEFORE SUNSET”
