Rituals and Beliefs

Scientific reasons and our traditions

Our Hindu Rituals are not the only tradition is not only based on which are been followed from our ancient time in this post we are emphasizing on the scientific reasons behind certain rituals.

Why is it mandatory for a married woman to apply sindoor?

 Sindoor is prepared by mixing turmeric, lime, and the metal mercury. Due to its natural properties, mercury reins blood pressure and activates sexual drive. Thus, sindoor should be applied right up to the pituitary gland where all our feelings are centered.

Why do females wear Bangels after getting married:

 Females are asked to wear bangles, Bangles cause constant friction with the wrist which increases the blood circulation level. Furthermore, the electricity passing out through the outer skin is again reverted to one’s own body because of the ring-shaped bangles.

Touching feet of our elders :

 When you touch the feet of our elders, their hearts release positive thoughts and energy, which they transmit through their hands and toes. In essence, the completed circuit allows the flow of energy and increases cosmic energy, which leads to a quick connection between two minds and hearts. Your fingers and palms turn out to be the ‘receptor’ of energy and the feet of the other person turn out to be the ‘giver’ of energy.

Piercing of Ears:

  Indian physicians and philosophers believe that piercing ears helps in the development of intellect, the power of thinking and decision-making faculties.

Applying Tilak :

The spot between the eyebrows on our forehead is considered to be the main nerve point in our human body. A tilak is believed to stop the loss of energy, and retain this to control various levels of concentration. Moreover, the act of applying this ensures that the points on the mid-brow region and Adnya-chakra are pressed, facilitating blood supply to one's facial muscles.

thus our Hinduism tradition is not only based on values and rituals but they also have scientific reasons hidden behind them.
