    Hare Krsna Mataji,

    PAMHO.

    Sorry for replying late.

    Janmashtami we try to observe fasting from surise till midnight. Ideally without water. If you cant tolerate, then try that atleast from 12 noon to 12 midnight, dont have. If you cant tolerate still, have water and permitted drinks, but remember Krsna.

    We have to break fast at 12 midnight. Some people break fast after doing abhishek in their house itself. We have only anukalpa (ekadasi) food preparations, fruits and dry fruits on this day.

    Next morning again we fast for Srila Prabhupada appearance day. 12 noon pushpa anjali and then break fast with normal grains. After that, you can eat any number of times.

    Haribol,

    Your servant,
