Hare Krishna,

Thank you.

    These days Sin personified is allowed to enter and stay in grains by the blessings of Lord Hari;

    So Devotees avoid a single grain; Because each grain is full of sins.

    Also it says that on 11th days of full and dark Moon liquid in the body becomes active;

    Grains give power to the body; But if we give power to the body when liquid is active it will increase lusty desires;

    Automatically these two days living beings become lusty, so Devotees try to decrease that lust by fasting; not feeding the senses; to dry the liquid. 

    Your servant,
