These are my understandings..
Prayer and Meditation go together. Prayer is our gratitude for the supreme being or nature to create positive vibrations( energy) in the environment that we are going to meditate( Dhyanam). Dhyanam is the ultimate goal to achieve wisdom and to end all the miseries of birth. Meditation only leads to the ultimate truth. Fasting helps to concentrate and hence to meditate more. The intention of fasting to have determination to eat less to meditate more on that day.
My understanding of today's world..
Prayers or offerings to god are to please him and get the things done we crave for. Fasting is also to please god that I am not eating for you. Meditation is for old people or is of least importance as it is only for inner peace and not to please god. Meditation can be selfish. This is utter disrespect for the supreme being.
Realize that to understand the truth/world we need to observe inner-self. Without doing that we will be always running for something endlessly.
