Is Hinduism, a religion??? I don think so.. Its jus a way of living prescribed in an elaborated way... I often wonder at the festivals in Hinduism.. Lovely..! They ve a day for everything. Highly civilized... They enjoy and celebrate everything in the world like nature etc.
Dey ve a strong root behind whatever the principle is been followed except d fact dat to make people scared and to make them strictly follow, they accompanied few things to make the world frighten and thereby believe.... But not really superstitious..
I would like to pen down few things which has a strong root behind the thots. Ofcourse everything has a meaning but i do not want to get additional sheets to fill up.. :) Would like to complete with the given main sheet..!!!!!:)
When they say girls are to wash hair on Fridays and guys on Saturdays, they meant to say in olden days both male and females goes to pond or river to bath esp for hair wash. Since both men and Women to be separated for their own comfort the days were divided amongst themselves.
When they say we should not cut nails, comb hair in the evenings.. It referred to the fact that there were no electricity in the ancient times and hence we cant hunt for fallen hair or nail in the dark and it might harm food.
When they say to light lamp in front of the house, it is help the by passers with the light as there were no bright lights or street lights.
When they say girls to sit out for few days a month, they meant to say that they require rest badly and they lack energy in those days. Would we follow if d ansisters
jus say gals require rest?? We wont..!! Hence they brought few stories to make us believe.
When they say a place where one had their food has to be cleaned with cow dung or turmeric, they meant these are best anti bacterial in the world. We now use floor cleaners to clean the same. In olden days they never had floor cleaners. Only cow dung and turmeric were so...
When they say should not go out during eclipses, it is the fact that the rays may harm us and which is scientifically proven..
We are educated now. Why cant we take a few mins to understand the hidden meaning rather than cribbing at the practices. If we can spend time to understand what is been told, we would definitely be in a better place with a big pond of knowledge.
Please spend time to understand things...
