Swami, what should be ideally done to leftover food?

[Shri Jayesh Pandey asked: 1. Dandvat Pranaam Swami Ji! May you rule our mind and intellect. Swami, my devotion is almost like a dried sugarcane which does not have any juice. Also, I don’t enjoy bhajans. How can I bring life into it? Swami, a few years ago I committed a serious sin in Hanuman ji's temple which I regret doing now. There are times when I’m reciting Hanuman Chalisa and the glimpses of that sin pops up in my mind between my recitations, and then I start feeling guilty, as an offender. Swami, why I get this feeling of unease when I’m asking for something from God? I almost go emotionless while asking for my wishes with a thought in back of my mind that why God would grant my wish since I’m not that big a devotee. Swami, what should be ideally done to leftover food? Dandvat Namaskaar to Swami and to His devoted devotees!

2. Dandvat Pranaam Swami Ji! May you sprout the lotus of our intelligence with Your divine knowledge and instill pure bliss in us. Swami, I'm hearing Manas Hanuman Katha these days to develop juiceful devotion for Hanuman ji instead of simply reciting Hanuman Chaalisaa because I don’t have the pre-requisite devotion for which I’m hearing the kathas to gain some spiritual knowledge about hanuman ji and thereby develop some true devotion and faith in Hanuman ji. If I’m going on the wrong track then correct me! Swami, what is the spiritual significance of the moon on Shivji's head.  What does this signify? Swami, The Ramcharitramanas starts with Shiv Katha first and then Ram Katha. Why is it so? Swami, what is Your take on the observation of Teej fast or Karvachauth fast? What should be the ideal way of observing these fasts?Though You have told us about the essence of Upavasa earlier, does it apply in these events as well? Please shower Your blissful nectar of knowledge and intoxicate us. At Your feet. Dandvat Namaskaram to Swami and to His beloved devotees!]

Swami replied: You are a patient affected by an illness and Hanumanji is the doctor. Why should you feel pain in approaching the correct doctor for the correct disease? This doctor will cure any illness just like the fire which can burn anything. Have full faith in Hanumanji, who will not find fault with you for your past sin. Realization of the sin, repentance of the sin and non-repetition of the sin completely eradicate not only the punishment of the present sin, but also, all the past sins of that type. Both fire-eye and moon exist on the forehead of God Shiva, which means that both sharp analysis of the sin and cool grace of God are essential in the spiritual path. Rama is the incarnation of God Vishnu. Since God Vishnu and God Shiva are one and the same, as per the Veda, Rama and Shiva are one God only. Every fasting is meaningless unless you have forgotten taking meals due to your powerful immersion in the devotion of God. Such spontaneous and natural forgoing of meals alone is the real fasting.
