Why do we apply turmeric powder to new clothes and then wear?



Why Do We Apply Turmeric Powder To New Clothes
If we have observed our ancestors do not know about jeans or other fabric clothes. Also applying turmeric powder to new clothes’ is observed from our ancestors. In olden days there were no mills and clothes were weaved manually.

Before weaving clothes, starch prepared from flour is applied to the thread, which attracts bacteria and other disease-causing germs.

Wearing those clothes may cause skin rashes and other diseases. As turmeric powder has anti-bacterial property, our ancestors prescribed us to apply turmeric powder on both sides of the new clothes. Also, turmeric powder is considered for wellness.




What is meant by controlling our senses?




In the epic of Mahabharata, there was a battle between gods and demons. Arjuna helped gods in the battle, impressed with his bravery and courage, gods respected him in many ways.

On that night heavenly angel named urvasi, came to Arjun and asked him to fulfill her wish to make her mother by giving her a son. Arjun replied why to wait 9 months to get a child, treat me as your son from now onwards.

Even though the beautiful lady came to him to fulfill her desire, he made the right judgment using common sense, right judgment. It is not like if someone asks you to do some bad thing you should agree, whatever the situation it is you should control your senses like Arjun.

Arjuna Phalguna: Thunderstorm occurs naturally; our ancestors say not to stay under a tree when there is a thunderstorm. If we observe storms occur mostly over trees. Also now a day we have learned that we should not be even below telephone poles or electric poles. Scientists say that there may be a slight discharge of electricity from them which is not safe to humans. Also many suggest that instead of standing on the ground sleeping is good, even if you are struck from storm sleeping position helps to lower the risk as storm energy is absorbed by earth (as earth acts as a neutral body) From our childhood, whenever there is a thunderstorm our parents utter the word “ Arjuna Phalguna ”, there is a small story from Mahabharat epic behind uttering those words. When Pandavas are returning from the forest, Arjuna brings Uttara to Sami tree for weapons. In order to rescue cows stolen from Duryodhana and Karna, Arjuna says to bring down weapons from the tree. During that period o...

What is the influence of stars when girl reaches puberty stage? In India, people give a lot of importance when their child reaches puberty stage. It reminds the child parents that they have become old and their responsibilities have grown.             When it comes to astrology, people believe stars play important role in their lives. There is a belief that stars change their effect/influence on a girl. Stars have one kind of effect on a girl before her puberty and other effect after puberty.
