On January 5, 2009, Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya began an arduous thirty day fast. Living on only water and juice, and engaging in intense public meditation and prayer every day of this period, Sri Acharyaji has undertaken this very austere Great Vow for Dharma (Dharmodaya Maha Vrata) in order to prepare the spiritual groundwork for the revival of Dharma in our world, as well as to encourage others to practice Dharma more faithfully.

While such Maha Vratas have been performed in the past by great gurus, rishis, and Acharyas, as recounted in the ancient Hindu scriptures, such an undertaking is very rarely performed in todays era. As of this writing, Sri Acharyaji is on day 20 of his thirty day fast, and has lost 15 pounds. We thank all the hundreds of people who have sent their heartfelt messages of solidarity, concern, and support for Sri Acharyaji during this historically significant occasion.
