We live in a world where the nucleus family are increasing over joint family, and people move on with their busy lives giving importance to personal and professional growth. Due to which awareness towards our tradition and rituals is reducing.
1. Joining both palms together to greet: We greet each other by joining our palms - termed as "namaskar", means respect. However, scientifically speaking, joining both hands ensures joining the tips of all the fingers together, which are denoted to the pressure points of eyes, ears, and mind. Pressing them together is said to activate the pressure points which helps us remember that person for a long time.
2. Visiting elders & Touching feet: While visiting elders does provide opportunities to bond, it also gives opportunities to learn valuable lessons through the experience of elders. Respecting them is another form of providing them the way to guide the society because they are the ones who have been through life and know more about it than young ones. Usually, the person of whose feet you are touching is either old. When they accept your respect which came from your reduced ego, their hearts emit positive thoughts and energy, which reaches you through their hands and toes. In essence, the completed circuit enables flow of energy and increases cosmic energy, switching on a quick connect between two minds and hearts.
3: Surya namaskar: There is a culture of saluting the sun during the first rays of the sun and performing 7 yoga asanas following it. These yoga instances move all the skeletal joints of the body and are also known as “king of the exercises”. To do that, people have to wake up early, and there have been studies that one of the common traits of successful people is early risers. The yoga postures also provide good flexibility and fitness to people, even in old age.
4: Fasting: Intestines are cleansed and the body is detoxified during fasting. Partial fasting will demand a change of food habit. This means that people who are partially fasting will be getting different types of micronutrients from different types of food sources. Fasting helps to cleanse and detoxify the body thereby giving rest to its vital organs. Some health benefits of fasting are purification of the gastro - intestinal tract, cleansing of the organs and aiding in metabolism. During fasting, the digestive system goes into the rest phase
5: Sleeping direction: Sleeping with the head facing the north direction is not good. But the science says, due to the iron in blood, the magnetic waves of earth increases the blood flow through brain capillaries and affects the functioning of brain cells of the person sleeping with the head facing towards the north. Please note that, blood circulatory system in your brain cannot take one extra drop.
6: Sandalwood Tilak in school prayer: Back in the days, there used to be a ritual where students put sandalwood tilak on their forehead every morning. It is still in practice in very few schools around India. This had positive benefits. Students could concentrate more since Chandan or the sandalwood is said to keep the mind in peace.
