Srivaishnavam
Practices - Haldi Known as Turmeric
by
TRS Iyengar
Turmeric
is the most IMPORTANT & AUSPICIOUS substance in every Hindu function.
Haldi is a commonly known name in every household. No Celebration or
auspicious function begins without haldi (turmeric) or kum-kum (kungumam).
One
must know its full potentials and reason for giving much importance to
it.
All
of us are well aware that yellow color paint is generally used to for
all public utilities such as signal poles, taxis, public telephone, road
divider lines etc. Yellow is the prime eye catching color and it has
cooling stimulation in the brain. That's why the road signals are given
amber in between Red & Green as to caution one's mind.
According
to Ayurveda, (a science dedicated to herbals & naturals) Haldi
the Turmeric
plays vital role in day to day life. It is the only ingredient used for
all type of cooking agent . It is a natural skin conditioner, heals cuts,
burns and wounds etc. Turmeric is used as a main and basic formula for
all health & Skin care products .It is also used as main and basic
substance for skins Ointments.
Each and
every one of us emit brain wave and The wavelength differs from person
to person. And to regularize the wave length Hindu women used to apply kungumam
( kum kum) made out of pure turmeric. Also It is very difficult to
hypnotize or mesmerize a person who applies Turmeric spot regularly in
one's fore head. In addition to this, the benefit of regularizing ones
own brain wave length is activated for those apply it regularly.
The
Sri Vaisnava Brahmins from South India applies turmeric paste in a vertical
line in their fore head. It is believed that this strengthens their
brain wave length and also it avoids scattering wave and sends signals
in a focused manner.
As per
the Hindu custom & practice each and every auspicious function
begins with turmeric and I am no exception. Hence Aye do open my Web
site with HALDI-KUMKUM (Manjal - Kungumam)(TURMERIC).
