Indian customs
Bathing in Spirituality
A spiritual dip in the Sangam is a symbolic washing away of desires, ego and bad karma. The holy water becomes a conduit to receive divine grace and prepare for an elevated form of existence. Your spirit of surrender, piety and purity, makes the experience magical.
Saraswati Pooja – for Knowledge and Wisdom
Basant is about thanking God for the bounties of nature. This also means not wasting and ensuring that everything is preserved for the future generations.
That time of the Month
Women were/are not impure during this period. Menstrual blood is a collection of a month's blood in the lining of the uterus of a fertile woman. It is made up of blood, uterine tissue and mucus and does have a peculiar smell, but it’s not impure.
The Journey to Beyond
The departed soul hovers above/around the gross body. The Jyoti is a form of Parmatmajyoti. The soul finds solace there.
