Tongue Exam - also consult ZrIla RUpa GoswAmI's UpadezAmRta Verse 1

tasmAt sarva-prayatnena, jihvAyAz ca parIxaNam |

PrANa (elan vital) moves through tongue. As it plays significant role for food intake & speech, similarly, it's most important amongst subtle senses. Ergo, it must b examined very carefully.

This is not one of those licorice/burnt toast vs cottage cheese jokes is it?

KRSNa's Very Own Son Samba's humor sense got him in a heap undesired.

But seriously, how black? How dark? Any other features?

What is your external, physical age? How long have u been vegetarian?

Tarun,

Thanks for the reply and concern. I actually woke up this morning and my tongue was more normal today. The color wasn't too dark, but definately noticable and different than normal. It was somewhat blueish. There weren't any other features though. My stomach was somewhat upset those days too. My age is 25, almost 26 and I've been a vegetarian for only one year. One thing that I think it might have been is that I had black bean soup the night before it happened the first time. So, when I saw it, I thought ok, maybe it's the soup. Then it happened the next day too. I've eaten black beans many times before and I've never seen this. Thanks again!

Haribol,

Matthew
