What is the  Sanctity of the Rudraksha ?

 What ever the result or benefit is

achieved spiritually, if we offer

 the ten Cows as charity that is eual

to if the Rudraksha is remembered

 mentally  (by smarana itself) .

Whatever the result or consequence is

 gained  if we  give hudred cows as charity

that is equal to if we see 

the Rudraksha  (by appearance itself) .

Whatever the result or benefit is

 acheived , if we offer a thousand cows

as charity that is equal to

if we touch the Rudraksha once.

Whatever the result is obtained

 if we offer one lakh cows as charity

that is equal to if we worship the Rudraksha itself.

Hence the Rudraksha has got such a marvellous power .

Why should not the  married person 

(Gruhasthu)

 eat his food on these leaves . ?

The Lotus leaf (Padma patram)  and

the leaf of a tree called Butea frondosa

 (Palasa is in sanskrit language) are used only

for the Saints, sages and those

renounced the world spiritually.

Means those Saints and Sages have to

 take their food on those leaves. 

By taking food on those Lotus leaves and the

Pasala leaves,  the sattwa guna  gets increased.

So those two leaves are only used

by the Saints or Sages or Swamy jis.

On the account of that the  Gruhastu (

 the married person) should not eat his food

on those two leaves as it is restricted .

But, it is good to take food on the

 leaves of Palasa (Butea frondosa),

as those leaves can cure the eye diseases.

Why the Ganges water has  such a great power ?

The water  which is born in the place of 

Gangotri in the Himalayans is called Ganges.

The Ganges that flows the ares in the

Himalayan mountains, and on the

earthly soil is treated as highly sacred .

Most  of the areas on the earth,

which the Ganges  flows has got the Radium.

Hence  that water has got qualities of more  

 activeness and produces the power to the body.

More over the Ganges has got minerals.

The germs that caused for  infectious  diseases

like Cholera etc., can not survive in the water of Ganges.

 The water of Ganges which is called as

 the Amruta Pravahini that cures all the

 diseases in the world what the Charaka Mahrshi said.

What is meant by Meritorius deed (Punyam)

and the Sin (Paapam) ?

It is simplified that  good health is

the Punyam  and the  ill-health is the Paapam.

If we live in accordance with  a code

of virtues and piously  (Dharmaalochana) that

we can get the good health of wealthiness.

Otherwise ,  if we live  contradictionally

 means unrighteously and unfairly

( Adharmaalochana) , even though if we are rich

and spend the money lavishly the diseases can not be cured.

In which direction the  Temples are constructed

 according to the compass-points ?

The Vastu Sastra playa a key roll in the

architechnology in the Hindu traditional constructions.

Even a small house is built as per the

 Vastu without any dosha ( errors) .

In the case of constructing the  Temples ,

the concerned Sthapatis (Silpi who is sculptor)

and other builders take much

care about Vastu and the directions.

The Temple like Eswaraalayam (Siva Temple) 

should be constructed in the North Eastren direction.

The Vaikuntha vasah, Lord Sree MahaVishnu‘s

temple ( Alayam) should be built in the direction of West.

The Lord, who offers food to the

 entire universe, the Sun God’s temple

 must be constructed towards the Eastren direction.

The Goddess Sree Durga Devi’s temple

is built  towards the Northern direction.

If the tmeple of Lord Brahma,

must be built in the middle of the city.

At what time  the Paan (Taambulam )

should be taken in a day ?

The Paan (Taambulam) is one of

the important item in the functions after the meals.

The Tambulam is a combination of

Betel leaves, arecanut, fragranted lime,

Cardamom, nutmeg, mace spice etc.,

It is said  in the morning the taambulam

 must be taken  by adding arecanut more.

In the afternoon the the Tambulam

hould be eaten by adding little more lime.

At night the Tambulam must be

 taken with more betel leaves.

What is the benefit of taking 

 food in the silver plate ?

The Silver and the Gold have become most

expensive these days and the value

 is depended on the stock market.

 The value has been increasing day by day.

So many articals and the ornaments

are being made of the  Silver and the Gold.

We can say  they are also one of  the assets

 if anybody  can acquire those things.

In olden days people used to take

their food in the Gold and Silver plates

 according to their status and capacity.

Atlest  at certain level ,  some people

 used to take food in the Silver plates.

Those days have gone, but we  here and there , 

very few people take their food only in the Silver plates.

These days are hard times to acquire

even the few grams of Silver metal

 since the economical conditions are worse.

Even then, at the time of marriage if any one

 who can acquire  the silver plate and

vessel by means of marital traditions

 and start  to take the food on the silver plate

atleast from the marriage time or atleast

at the middle age, since this gives

a very good result to the person.

Taking the food in the Silver plate

 is good to the health. In the health  point of view,

 it is said particularly the silver  is caused

 for  cooling effect to the eyes.

And also the Sivler is caused to

 improve    the pangs of hunger (Jatharaagni).

All the Medical sciences give the

 importance to the silver for making

 the medicines for  the Ophthalmolic diseases.

 And  the Ayurvedi Medical scince

  gave  so much importance for the Silver.

The Silver is very benefit to the eyes,

teeth and also the body.

Hence atleast  we should try to take the food

in the Silver Plate even if it is difficult task to accquire it.

What are the minimum duties of every one ?

The life can be happy and comfortable if

 we live systemativally means, according

to the law of Dharma.

 The happiness and peace is not

some where to search and gain.

They are with in us only.

If we have the discretion (vichakshana)

and follow that  thoroughly.

Tthen there will not be any sorrowness

 except happiness and peacefulness.

Though we know the truth, we will

not follow  and more over run away

from the duties and fall into troubles.

 If we see these real things to observe in life ....

 we need not say where is happiness.

The monthly income  which is earned

by hardship must be utilized (spent) economically

 for the family necessities  only but not for any luxuries.

 It is said as Gruhastha Dharmam.

 The children who are born for the

 sake  of their parental  sensual plasures,

 should be broughtup morally,

educationlly and made them as Gruhasthas.

 This is the primary duties of the parents.

Doing the service to the parents

 with worship which is  love with regard

 and taking care and welfare of 

younger brothers and sisters ,

 is the responsibility of a an eldest son.

Whst ever the duty or work, the man

 does, it should be respected and

 worshipped  ( Duty is Worship) .

The money which is earned rightfully

 must be spent for the welfare

of  their children, after that  the 

remaining money   should be spent for charities.

It is the Humanitarian  duty to

serve the people and take care of them

 those who are in troubles.

One must abide by his words is also a law and justice.

The wife and husband should live happily

and  unitedly till their last breath,

even though what ever the sufferings

 and differences arise in their life.

The welfare, peace and happiness

 of the society  can also come

 from a person who lives as said above.

What kind of the great medical

power that the  Rudraksha has ?

In the scriptures it is said that  the Rudraksha

has got great power and its effect

 would be possitive in all aspects.

If we wear the Rudraksha,

the high BP can be minimized.

If wear Rudraksha, it gives the result of

increasing in virility and begets the children.

If we take a little honey with the decoction

  of Rudraksha, before eating food,

 one can have the relief from the constipation.

If the Rudraksha is soaked in the milk

 for one hour and after that if that milk

 is drunk by the  children and

 the children will have the good memory power.

So the Rudraksha is medically  more

 useful what the Ayurveda Sastra says.

Which deed (action)  has 

got more effect  in this Kaliyuga ?

Every thing was said in the beginning

 of the Yugas about the Dharma and

its consequences in this world  to the mankind.

The Penance in the Kruta Yuga, 

The Veda Jnana in the Treya Yuga

and the Yagna Yagas etc in the Dwapara Yuga

 were so powerful to give the outstanding results.

In those Yugas the Mahapurushas and

others did that and attained the Moksha.

But it is said in this Kali Yuga ,

the Daana (chariy) is only the

expedient to attain the Mukti.

 But the Charity should be offered

 without expecting any result from others.

All the Sastras give the statement

 that the Charity is  only the Satkarma

 (a good deed) in this Kali Yuga.

The Charity (Daanam) must to given

to the deserved person what

Sri Adi Sankaraacharya said in the Bhaja Govindam.
