Why the currency coins are thrown in

the rivers when we cross over them ?

Unless there is Paramaardham ( ultimate goal),

 the customs and traditons have not come

into force since the mankind

should get over the bondage.

Even for the materialistc custom , if we

see the  inner meaning  and the result 

behind it, that can  make  us  surprise and happy.

Right from the ancient time, means from our

old generation of our pedigree in the society the

customs have been brought forward for

the benefit of peace and happiness to the families.

Hereditarily our grand fathers and great grand

 fathers and other ancestors used to pour the water

at night  in the  handy  copper vessels and

drink the water next day early in the morning.

The copper is symbolic for the Prana sakti

which is vital force of  life.

Scientifically it is proved that the copper

 has got such a vital energy.

Hence they were look like very strong in health point of view.

In those days, the copper coins were in  the circulation.

 Whenever they go on piligrimage to visit shrines

 or visit other places like their relatives etc,

they had to cross over the rivers, canals and so on.

 While crossing over them the elders used

to pray to the Ganga maata and drop the

copper coins into the rivers , canals etc.,  

and also they used to make their children

to drop  the coins as that would be a  customary

 practise for the children and next generation.

So,  the river water contains the copper coins

in it and naturally get become  the  life force (Prana dhara).

Then if we drink that water or take bath in the water,

automatically we can become healthy and strong.

 Because of that reason and thinking of it,

 our elders used to follow the customs

for the sake of welfare of the people.

These days,the coins are not like of those coins .

 Now a days, these   small coins are

not useful for that purpose.
