Why not to sleep with your head towards North?

 Earth is a giant magnet and our body has its own magnet field too. When you sleep in north south direction, based on the magnetic theory, our body becomes completely asymmetrical with the earth’s giant magnetic field. It raises the blood pressure and puts the heart in a hard to pump state. In addition, it leads to the deposition of iron content in the brain area. This can result in the serious illnesses like brain degeneration, headache, Cognitive Decline, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson disease.

Why Every Indian Women Wear A Toe Ring?

 A particular nerve on the 2nd toe connects a woman’s uterus and passes through the heart. So wearing a ring on this toe strengthens the uterus and promotes a regular menstrual cycle.

TOUCHING FEET

                Well ,Hindus were accustomed with many traditions and rituals ,but there aren't aware of the them.Let me talk about one such thing that is practiced for hundreds  of years  ago.That is none other than TOUCHING FEET (PADA NAMASKAR).It is considered as the act of respecting the elder .           

               Now we will see  beyond the custom in aspect of science.Our body is a special design where the entire body from brain via spinal-chord to feet  are connect through nerves.There are incorporated with seven chakras

. When we touch the feet of elder we are making unification point of ANAHTA (KARUNA)and MANIPUR(SHRADDHA) Chakras which will be activated.
SHRADDHA " reduces "ego" & lower emotions along with Solar plexus chakra .

" KARUNA " activates HEART- CHAKRA of the saints or elders.  " SHRADDHA " increases receptivity of the person ,while " KARUNA " starts to discharge energy from HEART CHAKRA towards the person who is receptive with " SHRADDHA .
There are some physical, mental developments associated with it. The person is not only benefited with the blessings but unconsciously the person reveals his/her modesty and humble nature.

Human body is a conductor of electricity. It consists of positive and negative energies which flow continuously end to end. Our body when vertically divided into two parts the left side of body posse’s negative currents and right side posse’s positive currents. The two parts collectively forms an electric circuit with positive and negative currents. When we touch the feet of elders by standing in opposite direction the left hand touches left foot and right hand touches right foot. Thus energies met, forms a big circuit and energies flow uniformly without any up and downs. When elders bless the person by touching their head with right hand increases the free flow of positive energy by grounding negative energies. Like a lamp illuminates and lights another lamps without losing its energy a person will not lose their energy by giving blessings to children. This gesture thus gives more strength to blessed person and illuminates positive things in their mind.

Science behind Holi, the festival of Colours

Holi, the festival of Colours is celebrated in different corners of India with pomp and gaiety on full moon day in the month of Phalgun which is the month of March as per the Gregorian calendar. We all are also aware of the Legend of demon King Hiranyakashyap and his son Prahlad and sister Holika. I don’t want to repeat that story. Have you ever thought that there could be any scientific reason behind the festivals we celebrate? Here, I intend to trace the science behind the festival of Holi. Let’s explore-

Holi is played in the Spring Season which is a period between end of winter and advent of summer. We normally go through the transition phase of winter and summer.  The period induces the growth of bacteria in the atmosphere as well as in the body. When Holika is burnt, temperature of the nearby area raises around 50-60 degree Celsius. Following the tradition when people perform Parikrama (go around the bonfire/pyre), the heat coming from the bonfire kills the bacteria in the body and cleanses it.

In some parts of the country, after Holika Dahan (burning of Holika) people put ash on their forehead and also mix Chandan (paste of sandal wood) with the young leaves and flowers of the Mango tree and consume. It is believed to promote good health.

This is the time, when people get the feeling of tardiness. This is quite natural for the body to experiences some tardiness because of change in weather from cold to the hot in the atmosphere. To counter this laziness, people sing Songs (Phag, Jogira etc.) with Dhol, Manjira and other traditional instruments. This helps in rejuvenating the human body. Their physical movement while playing with colours also helps in the process.

Why did we get this punishment?

Remember the ‘good’ old Indian school punishments? Holding the earlobes with arms crossed over your chests, bending the knees and then sit and then stand and so on till the time Masterji is saying? If you still cannot figure out the punishment just see this picture.

I hope now you remember. Well, this time the topic is the logic behind this punishment only.

Ever thought why the traditional Indian school teachers would give this particular punishment? I believe even majority of the teachers who grant this punishment to their students do not know the reason behind it. This form of punishment has been in practice in our country since the Gurukul time and was given to the students who were weak in studies. That is a different question if now a days teachers grant this punishment for any mistake and not only for studies but originally it was meant for weak students only.

Talking about the logic behind this punishment, it is very interesting to know that this particular posture increases the blood flow in the memory cells in brain and synchronizes the right and left side of the brain to improve function and promote calmness, stimulates neural pathways via acupressure points in the earlobe, sharpens intelligence and also helps those with autism, asperger’s syndrome, learning difficulties and behavioural problems. This has been proven scientifically and you can find scores of links on Google uncle in support,

So, see how helpful this posture is for everyone. Probably this was the reason why our ancestors developed this punishment for us. In the name of punishment they were actually helping out the weak students only.

Probably we have forgotten this ancient method of increasing memory power but the West is now using is very diligently and they are recommending this posture or exercise to treat many a diseases. 

START ALWAYS WITH SPICY FOOD AND END YOUR MEAL WITH SWEETS

Our ancestors have stressed on the fact that our meals should be started off with something spicy and sweet dishes should be taken towards the end. The significance of this eating practice is that while spicy things activate the digestive juices and acids and ensure that the digestion process goes on smoothly and efficiently, sweets or carbohydrates pulls down the digestive process. Hence, sweets were always recommended to be taken as a last item.

The act of putting water around the plate

As we know water acts as a repellent to many tiny creatures that roam on the floor seen and unseen, hence the circle of water stops them to approach the plate when kept on the floor also they are attracted towards the part of food kept outside the plate making it safe to consume the food. This practice is redundant while eating on dining table which is presumable cleaner than the floor. Those who still practice it on table are just following tradition without knowing the meaning behind it.
