Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thank you Neelamji, for the guidance given. Though he has been reading Hanuman Chalisa for over 2 years now, is there any particular time or way, how the same has to be read,Or is there any number of times it has to be read. He reads everyday, after bath while doing puja before going to Office. He knows it byheart now, so he doesnt keep the book in front of his eyes.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Dear Bhaskarji/Neelamji, Thank you very much for the support provided. Enclosed is a file, which I thought I might contribute to the group, A small token of appreciation. Please accept it. Regards, Shaila Acharas (Customs and rituals ) in Hindu Dharma What are the good acharas which make daily life psychologically comfortable ? Taking the blessing from elders, listening to the puranic and related stories, taking food with family members, visiting friends and relatives, doing yoga, sharing the problems with friends and family members………are all psychologically beneficial acharas. What are the physiological benefits of acharas? Any acharas which can contribute to better health fall under this category of acharas. In India it is told that sareeram adhyam khalu dharma sadhanam. Body is the first tool for performing the dharma. Hence health is an important factor for everyone. What are the examples of such type of acharas? Examples of physiologically beneficial acharas are: doing soorya namaskara ( Sun salutation) which is an ideal exercise for all the movable skeletal joints. The soorya namaksara is composed of seven yogaasanas. Each of which can contribute the best possible way to smoothen the skeletal joints. Hence soorya namaskara is known as the king of the exercises. How many more such acharas can be named? There are thousands of such acharas through out India. Few more such acharas are: morning prayer at the time of waking up (chanting karaagre vasathe lakshmi…) for balancing blood pumping pressure of the heart, touching the floor as bhoo vandanam ( samudra vasane devi…) for releasing bio static electricity from the body through fingers, taking morning bath for cleansing external body, prayer before taking food ( for activating salivary glands and digestive enzyme glands) avoid keeping head towards north while sleeping to keep the body position non-parallel to earth's magnetic field for facilitating the smooth blood flow to the brain, taking vegetarian food, putting chandan/ kumkum/ bhasma/ on the forehead, keeping tulasi ( sacred basil) in the back of the ear, cleaning the legs/hands and face after a long walk outside,…. ( you can find out many more scuh examples) If one is not following these acharas, will he be caught by sin ? Will go punish him? Acharas are not for purifying from papa nor for getting punya. It is purely for our earthly life and health. Hence, if you are not performing an acharas, it will never create sin nor it is the god's responsibility to punish you. God is not sitting for punishing you. But the merits expected from the acharas may not be available and will be lost for ever. How the fasting benefits the health? Change in the day to day food gives an opportunity to balance the nutrition requirement of the body. Fasting for few days purify the blood due to continuous filtration through kedney if enough water is also taken during fasting , and decomposes extra fat deposited in the human body. Why ekadasi vratha is followed? It is mainly for changing the food once in 15 days. This change in food either from rice to wheat or vice versa, gives the opportunity to fill the gap of the nutritional lapses in our day to food intake. Ekadasi word means only 11th day. Is there any achara which can solve the iron deficiency which is very common in Kerala? In Kerala, there is unique achara of preparing a semi dried food item ( known in Malayalam as mezhukkupuratti etc ) in every Saturday, in wrought iron vessel known as Cheena chatty. The semi dry food item will retain lot of iron from the vessel. The iron content of this food will compensate the deficiency of the iron and it is the best remedy for phytic /phytanic acid diseases which is common in Kerala women. The iron needed for a week can be stored in our body. Making one food item in this vessel once in a week was an acharas. Unfortunately now a days we do not follow that acharas, hence it is estimated that 40 % of Kerala women is facing this problem of iron deficiency. . How sareera suddhi is effected through acharas? There are five types of bathing explained in dharma sastra for the external body cleaning. Why oil bath is taken ? Oil bath compensate the natural oil layer on the surface of the human body by the oil smeared by us. This oil protects the lipoprotein layer of human skin. How blood can be purified ? is there anything mentioned in our acharas? Very specifically it is mentioned in dharma saastra. Take two or three ( some doctors even advise 6 – 9 glass ) glass full water in the morning. This will definitely purify the blood as you know it happens through filtration by kidneys, during blood circulation. How can one get more information about this type of acharas? It is a good question. Think about each and every achara rationally, scientifically and logically. Discus with good doctors and come to a conclusion. Never be biased and never justify the superstitions in anyof the achara. Which are the acharas one should analyze for getting the physiological merits? Think and analyze each and every one of the acharas one by one, that you are performing from early morning till night and then continue, the weekly acharas, monthly acharas, yearly acharas etc. You will get numerous such acharas which will have variety of benefits. How the acharas strengthen family bondage ? We shall see the acharas which can strengthen the family bondage: All the shodasa (sixteen) acharas like, naamakaranam, annapraasanam, nishkramanam, upanayanam, vivaaham,…..etc and the concept of maathru devo bhava, pitru devo bhava, etc., the acharas connected with pitrukarma/ anthyeshti, the gruhya acharas to be performed by the (married) couples, ……..etc. are examples for this type of acharas. How scientific is the family bondage strengthening acharas? There is sociology, psychology, etc in performing these achars which strengthen the family bondage, between wife and husband, children and parents, etc. How the wedding rituals strengthen the family relation ? Tying the(knots) thali, putting the garland, holding the right hands (paani grahana), doing the pradakshina, exchanging the rings, etc are all symbolically bringing a man and woman together giving the feeling that we are going to be united from this particular day of marriage onwards. Can we know more acharas under this category. Can you explain ? Temple visit of the family members together, taking food together, wife serving the food to husband, mother serving food to children, praying together, celebrating the wedding anniversary, celebrating the birth day, parents' blessing to the children, fixing the date for earth breaking ceremony for new a building home, gruha pravesa, etc are all directly or indirectly connected for strengthening family relations. How a mother can strengthen family relations ? Mother and wife have got major role in strengthening the family bondage by performing their respective maathru dharma and patnee dharma. Can we go deep into more of these acharas? If you are scanning the gruhastha acharas you will know that there are hundreds of such acharas which we were thinking as superstitions. These acharas were formulated hundreds of years ago for strengthening family relation. How social bondage gets strengthened through acharas ? The acharas which give the opportunity to bring everyone together without ego clashes will result in strengthening the social bondage in the society. Can you site few examples of such acharas? There are hundreds of social bondage strengthening acharas: Celebrating the festivals, like sivaratri, navaratri, janmashtami, onam, etc. Inviting family members, relatives and friends for attending family ceremonies, etc are the acharas strengthening the social bondage and relationships. Why do we invite people for the marriage ? This is a very important achara in which the happiness of the family is shared by the members of the society. Why people gather during the death of a family member ? When someone passes away many people come over there to share the sorrow of the family. Social bondage strengthening takes place when the happiness and sorrow are shared eachother among the relatives and friends. During birthday, gruha pravesam and during the unhappy days also people share the feelings which results in strengthening the social bondage. How the national integration and acharas are linked ? Any acharas which is performed in which the name of our motherland, culture, or part of the nation, like seas, mountains, cities, great men, heroes, etc come that will give a reminder for the national pride. This directly will result in the national integration. Can you site few examples in which the acharas help national integration? Acharas for national integration can be narrated like this: Doing prathasmarana by chanting the mantras in which the names of holy mountains, rivers, cities, heroes, etc., are mentioned, reading Ramayana and Mahabharatha can fetch benefits of National integration because the Sri Rama traveled from Ayodhya to Kerala and then to Rameswaram and back. Similarly Pandavas traveled all the way from Hastinapura (present Delhi) to Palakkad district of Kerala. This narration itself will result in the national integration. National integration can also be achieved through national languages/ Sanskrit, cultural traits on dress, food, Vedic and puranic messages, pilgrimage, etc which are all part of Indian heritage and achara. How can we classify all these acharas for the removing the superstition ? There are three types of acharas. The acharas not relevant in the day to day life are known as anacharas. The acharas which produce negative results are duracharas. The acharas which produce good and positive results /effects are sadacharas. What are the sadacharas ? Acharas which can produce good effects and which are already described in detail in many pages above are known as sadacharas. The beneficial effects for men, family, society and nation. Can you give few examples for anacharas ? Some say that Vedas should not be heard by women, Vedas should not be chanted by lower caste people, should not touch the lower caste, should not visit a patient on so and so date, these are anacharas if properly not described. Can we site few examples of anacharas ? Hanging some Chinese music instruments fingshui etc for vaastu based benefits for solving family problems is an anchara. Blindly following the astrological predictions in the magazines 'This week/month for you' type of astrological predictions is anachara. Predicting Mr. X is going to become the prime minister, based on the so called mundane astrology is another anachara which confuses many people. Changing the position of windows or the position of kitchen etc by obeying the advise of so called vastu experts are anacharas. What are duracharas in Hindu dharma ? How to eradicate them ? There are hundreds of sadAcharas in Hindu dharma. Unfortunately there are few durAcharas also, which create problems sometimes, if we do not analyze them properly, rationally, scientifically and logically. Almost all these durAcharas crept into the Vedic culture at a later period. Majority of them are only decades old, and some are centuries old and none are millennia old.None of them is the part of Vedic acharas. DuraAcharas are those customs and rituals which can create permanent negative / bad effects for any one or more than one individuals( s). Acharas which produce psychological and physiological bad effects, affecting negatively the family relations and social bondages and also those which works against national integration are the duracharas. They are just opposite of the sadaAcharas. SadAcharas give positive effects and duracharaas give negative effects. Can we give examples of some more duracharas ? Cursing somebody, chanting mantras aiming at a bad purpose, sacrificing/ kuruthi animals like chicken, goat or animals for gods or demons, offering liquor as a part of religious rituals, misinterpreting the Acharas for negatives .etc are durAcharas. Can we site a serious example of misinterpretation of a sadachara to durachara ? A durachara is dropping half burnt human dead body in the holy rivers like Ganga ..Yet another durachara if someone dies in dhanishta panchaka ( dhanishta to revati five days) there can be five more deaths in that house. (this is a terrible durachara. ). This was once upon a time sadachara explained for helping the family where one of the member passes away. Are these duracharas superstitions ? Remember, there are a number of good information in vaastu and astrology which should not be misinterpreted. It creates superstitions in people about silly things if not properly handles. One has to take the benefits from Vastu and astrology instead of practicing the non-senses advised by quack astrologers and 'vaastu experts' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
