Decoding The Shocking Truth Of The Current Hindu Beliefs

Hinduism is looked down upon by many people as a religion of baseless practices and rituals. Some even consider them to be superstitions. Today, Hindutav is taking the initiative to clear the air and give Hindus something to be proud of. So, kindly share this article as much as possible so that it reaches to all your critics and silence their complaining voice forever. Words are always mightier than swords.

Family members and people in general keep distance from women who are currently going through menstrual cycle. Why? Is this not a discrimination, a form of neglect by superstition? Not actually.
During this time, women lose a lot of blood and iron elements with it. A natural tiredness comes with that. They also have to go through some ache in their backs. So a doctor would always recommend rest on such occasions invariably. So keeping her away from religious rituals and other daily works will provide her the much needed rest to heal quickly and de-stress herself.

Swallow Tulsi leaves but don’t dare to chew them? Why? Chewing gums is generally considered as a bad manner among Hindus. Thereby, when President Obama was chewing gums in front of parade on the Republic Day, he was heavily criticized. Anyways, Tulsi has the heavy dose of mercury in it. So if you chew Tulsi, mercury will pour out and it is somewhat dangerous for teeth which may eventually result them to fall at earlier age. So a quick swallow is recommended to escape the danger and enjoy the high benefits of it.

Eat curd and sugar before walking out of the house.This is very interesting and touching when done by by parents.When you walk out of your house especially for some jobs which will transform your life, you are sure to have a stressful day throughout.So curd contains calcium and protein and with sugar, it provides a calming effect on you and de-stresses your body as curd and sugar act good agents for stomach. So you stay fit and positive and walk out the winner.

You should not sweep houses after sunset.Why not?  Actually this belief has been handed down from past time when no electricity was there.So in the darkness you might sweep out any small gold ornaments that might have fallen on the ground accidentally. So, a fear was inspired symbolically that Maa Lakshmi might walk out of the house if house is swept after sunset.The same reason holds even for cutting your nails after sunset.

Hang a string containing lemons and chilies in front of your house and shop to prevent evil from intruding.This is seen everywhere is not it and most people laugh at it. The evil known to human kind is harmful microbes. All diseases prevalent in the society are due to their intrusion in our bodies.Sourness of lemon and hotness of Chilies are known to kill many such harmful agents in our stomach. So for the obvious reason, hanging them in the front of house or shops can keep them away and prevent contamination of food and grocery products as people consider the entrance as a way of their plots.

Stepping out of the house during an eclipse is highly prohibited and even consuming food is restricted. But why?The reason is if you go out of the house, you may be tempted to look at the eclipse taking place with your naked eyes, as it happens rarely, many years after. So the exposure of naked eyes to the cosmic rays will definitely affect your retina and thereby bringing severe consequences to vision and even blindness. Rods and cone cells can get damaged permanently and may lead to retinal burns.That is one part,the second part is without sun rays in an eclipse, the microbes like harmful bacteria and viruses become dominant and if foods are consumed at that period, it might cause harmful effect on digestive system. So most people, either heat up food after eclipse gets over, to destroy the harmful microbes or throw away the food to avoid eating harmful or “contaminated” food.Is not that scientific enough critics?

Why do people apply Tilak on the forehead.Is it some fashion? Nope. Tilak is applied in between the eyebrows.It is a point of major nerve ending. People concentrate on this point in meditation to achieve higher spiritual awakening. It is a point of massive energy center. Tilak is known to have have calming effect and thus helps to keep the concentration in work and de-stress the nerves coming out from that point.

Scientific Hinduism

The unending battle between religion and science will probably never have an ending it seems. Every argument has its counterpart. Luckily,we will not go into debates today, instead we will provide a few scientific arguments which some may term as facts to support the idea of Hinduism being scientific.

We are going to put forward some regular practices of every Hindu which are generally considered as superstitions by most modern people, and support them with their scientific background and let our readers decide what is what.

Hindu People generally advise not to sleep with head facing in North direction.

It is not a myth or superstition. Scientists have proven that our planet is like a giant magnet while our own body has its own magnetic field. Our body’s magnetic field is due to the ions flowing in our blood. When we sleep with head turned towards North, it might raise our blood pressure causing extra pressure on our heart to pump in and out in that posture. This is due to bringing the symmetry back of our body’s magnetic field and that of the earth when we sleep in North direction. For this increasing blood pressure, iron ion travel to brain in excessive amount which might cause several neurogenic problems.

Hindu Women generally put on bangles

Doctor generally check the wrist for pulse as the life line  flows through the nerves there.When one puts a bangle over their wrists, the fiction between the bangle and wrist increases the blood pressure which in turn helps to get rid to sluggishness.

Hindu Houses generally have Tulsi Plant for worshipping

Tulsi plant is considered as sacred in Hindu philosophy.The main scientific fact about it is,we get the message of worshipping plant and protecting them as it provides many medicinal benefits which are boon to human kind.It acts as an antibiotic and increase immunity and body protective strength.It also balances various body systems.Having one such plant in every house will keep the disease away automatically.

Hindu People belief in chanting mantras

The scientific explanation about it is,every word has its own vibration.vibrations when produced in rhythmic way helps in normalizing blood pressure.Deep relaxation with prolonged breathe can be achieved by chanting ‘Om’. Different vibrations keeps away various harmful germs,therefore in the evening Shankh is blown.

Hindu People Generally fast during religious occasion

It has been scientifically proved that our inner system need to clean themselves and enough space must be provided for that. Festive seasons generally associate with change in season and with every season change our body needs enough time to adjust and prepare themselves.A fast can provide our body that required time and also various rituals help to revitalize.It also helps in building self-determination and surviving tough situations.

Hindu People generally greet others with Namaskar

In Namaskar posture,the fingers of both hands touch each other and the tips are together as well.Tips are the pressure points for various organs.Thus alignment of energy before interaction is a vital thing.Added to that,no germs can get transferred due to hand contact.

Hindu People Generally ring bell in temple

The scientific reason behind ringing the bell before entering the temple is,the sound of the bell ringing makes you alert and clears all distraction of mind.Even it has been proved the equality of sound in both ears can activate your seven chakras for spiritual awakening.

Last And The Best One,

Hindu People Worship Idols

The science behind this is, if you want a figure in front of you, your mind can concentrate on that and give rise to a devotional power as in meditation mind diverts here and there in search of any figure.

Hope This Article has immensely helped you understand a few little things in your life which you are doing so far unknowingly. I hope you will spread it now among your friends and family. Let awareness not argument be the future between religion and science.

We are back with another edition of scientific explanations behind the traditional rituals of Hindu people which are generally considered as myth or superstition. Today, we are going to put more light to remove the darkness behind the beliefs and rituals so that people really know what they are after as well as for them who raise voice to belittle them.

Reason Behind The Sequence of Meal-

It is generally observed that Hindus start eating their meals with spicy food first and end it with sweets. Most people would say this is the tradition they have been following from childhood and ancestors’ time and has become a habit. But the true fact is when we start our meal with spicy food, our stomach gets activates and start releasing digestive juicy and acids faster in comparison to any other food. It ensures that the food taken gets digestive well and smoothly. Then when you take sweets the secretion of acids come down which is desirable as, if they are released as last might cause health problem. So a proper termination of digestion is achieved by having sweets at the end.

People Consider Peepal Tree as a Sacred Tree-

Most people consider this as a myth as Peepal tree is only known for giving shade in Summer season.But the true fact as you would know is that Peepal is among those few trees which release oxygen even at night while other plants and tress give out carbon di-oxide during night time and take up oxygen from environment. So the importance for Peepal tree is immense for environment and for human beings as well to survive. Such trees definitely call for to be saved and rightly considered sacred.

Why Hindus decorate hands and feet with Henna and Mehendi during special occasions-

Well, most would say it is just for looking good and attractive. True, but the fact is Mehendi and Heena are coolant. They keep the nerves endings at your hands and feet under control in stressful situationsespecially when you are excited about some upcoming occasion and the pressure you have to go through during the whole process of the occasion like marriage, puja at home and so on.

Why Hindus Sit On Floor To Have Their Meal-

Most people find this annoying to site on floor and sit food like Hindus do. The fact is it is the posture that Hindus are after. When you sit on floor, you sit with your legs crossed which is unconsciously a posture for Yoga. Sitting in this posture regularly activates your brain to process the food and prepare your digestive system before starting your meal.

Hindu Girls Put On Toe Ring and Ear Pieces-

Silver ring is put on by mostly married Hindu women on the second finger which contains the nerve ending of a vital nerve which passes through uterus and heart. So putting a ring there, regulates the blood flow in uterus and normalize menstrual cycle. Furthermore, our feet always keep in touch with the earth and silver, being a good conducting metal, passes the energy waves after absorbing it from ground. On the other hand, ear pieces are worn after making pinhole in ear in infant stage which scientifically proven that pinhole made in the ears helps to calm a person down in life, activates brain towards intellect and imaginative power.

Why Do Hindus Touch Feet Of Elders-

It is mostly considered as a gesture to show respect to elderly people to receive their blessings. To some it is also a gesture where you let go of your ego in front of your elders and put yourself as an offering to them. Scientifically, when one touches the fingertips of elderly people with the fingertips of his/her hand, one complete circuit is formed among the nerve endings so that energy is transformed through the points in contact which in other word is blessing.

That’s it for today. Now you can answer your critics of the Hindu religion with evidence.As s service to the society, you can spread this post among your friends and known ones so that Hinduism and its traditional practices do not go down among people of other religion as myth. We all can prosper when we start to respect each other’s practices and rituals with scientific facts backing them up. Thank you.

पूरे विश्व
को मानना पड़ेगा की हिन्दूधर्म ही विश्व का
एकमात्र
ऐसा धर्म है जो "विज्ञान पर आधारित" है !
हिंदू परम्पराओं से जुड़े ये वैज्ञानिक तर्क:

1- कान छिदवाने की परम्परा:

भारत में लगभग सभी धर्मों में कान छिदवाने की परम्परा है।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क-
दर्शनशास्त्री मानते हैं कि इससे सोचने की शक्त‍ि बढ़ती है। जबकि डॉक्टरों का मानना है कि इससे बोली अच्छी होती है और कानों से होकर दिमाग तक जाने वाली नस का रक्त संचार नियंत्रित रहता है।

2-: माथे पर कुमकुम/तिलक

महिलाएं एवं पुरुष माथे पर कुमकुम या तिलक लगाते हैं।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- आंखों के बीच में माथे तक एक नस जाती है। कुमकुम या तिलक लगाने से उस जगह की ऊर्जा बनी रहती है। माथे पर तिलक लगाते वक्त जब अंगूठे या उंगली से प्रेशर पड़ता है, तब चेहरे की त्वचा को रक्त सप्लाई करने वाली मांसपेशी सक्रिय हो जाती है। इससे चेहरे की कोश‍िकाओं तक अच्छी तरह रक्त पहुंचता

3- : जमीन पर बैठकर भोजन

भारतीय संस्कृति के अनुसार जमीन पर बैठकर भोजन करना अच्छी बात होती है।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- पलती मारकर बैठना एक प्रकार का योग आसन है। इस पोजीशन में बैठने से मस्त‍िष्क शांत रहता है और भोजन करते वक्त अगर दिमाग शांत हो तो पाचन क्रिया अच्छी रहती है। इस पोजीशन में बैठते ही खुद-ब-खुद दिमाग से एक सिगनल पेट तक जाता है, कि वह भोजन के लिये तैयार हो जाये।

4- : हाथ जोड़कर नमस्ते करना

जब किसी से मिलते हैं तो हाथ जोड़कर नमस्ते अथवा नमस्कार करते हैं।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- जब सभी उंगलियों के शीर्ष एक दूसरे के संपर्क में आते हैं और उन पर दबाव पड़ता है। एक्यूप्रेशर के कारण उसका सीधा असर हमारी आंखों, कानों और दिमाग पर होता है, ताकि सामने वाले व्यक्त‍ि को हम लंबे समय तक याद रख सकें। दूसरा तर्क यह कि हाथ मिलाने (पश्च‍िमी सभ्यता) के बजाये अगर आप नमस्ते करते हैं तो सामने वाले के शरीर के कीटाणु आप तक नहीं पहुंच सकते। अगर सामने वाले को स्वाइन फ्लू भी है तो भी वह वायरस आप तक नहीं पहुंचेगा।

5-: भोजन की शुरुआत तीखे से और अंत मीठे से

जब भी कोई धार्मिक या पारिवारिक अनुष्ठान होता है तो भोजन की शुरुआत तीखे से और अंत मीठे से होता है।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- तीखा खाने से हमारे पेट के अंदर पाचन तत्व एवं अम्ल सक्रिय हो जाते हैं। इससे पाचन तंत्र ठीक तरह से संचालित होता है। अंत में मीठा खाने से अम्ल की तीव्रता कम हो जाती है। इससे पेट में जलन नहीं होती है।

6-: पीपल की पूजा
तमाम लोग सोचते हैं कि पीपल की पूजा करने से भूत-प्रेत दूर भागते हैं।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- इसकी पूजा इसलिये की जाती है, ताकि इस पेड़ के प्रति लोगों का सम्मान बढ़े और उसे काटें नहीं। पीपल एक मात्र ऐसा पेड़ है, जो रात में भी ऑक्सीजन प्रवाहित करता ह

7-: दक्ष‍िण की तरफ सिर करके सोना

दक्ष‍िण की तरफ कोई पैर करके सोता है, तो लोग कहते हैं कि बुरे सपने आयेंगे, भूत प्रेत का साया आ जायेगा, आदि। इसलिये उत्तर की ओर पैर करके सोयें।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- जब हम उत्तर की ओर सिर करके सोते हैं, तब हमारा शरीर पृथ्वी की चुंबकीय तरंगों की सीध में आ जाता है। शरीर में मौजूद आयरन यानी लोहा दिमाग की ओर संचारित होने लगता है। इससे अलजाइमर, परकिंसन, या दिमाग संबंधी बीमारी होने का खतरा बढ़ जाता है। यही नहीं रक्तचाप भी बढ़ जाता है।

8-सूर्य नमस्कार
हिंदुओं में सुबह उठकर सूर्य को जल चढ़ाते हुए नमस्कार करने की परम्परा है।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- पानी के बीच से आने वाली सूर्य की किरणें जब आंखों में पहुंचती हैं, तब हमारी आंखों की रौशनी अच्छी होती है।

9-सिर पर चोटी

हिंदू धर्म में ऋषि मुनी सिर पर चुटिया रखते थे। आज भी लोग रखते हैं।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- जिस जगह पर चुटिया रखी जाती है उस जगह पर दिमाग की सारी नसें आकर मिलती हैं। इससे दिमाग स्थ‍िर रहता है और इंसान को क्रोध नहीं आता, सोचने की क्षमता बढ़ती है।

10-व्रत रखना

कोई भी पूजा-पाठ या त्योहार होता है, तो लोग व्रत रखते हैं।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- आयुर्वेद के अनुसार व्रत करने से पाचन क्रिया अच्छी होती है और फलाहार लेने से शरीर का डीटॉक्सीफिकेशन होता है, यानी उसमें से खराब तत्व बाहर निकलते हैं। शोधकर्ताओं के अनुसार व्रत करने से कैंसर का खतरा कम होता है। हृदय संबंधी रोगों, मधुमेह, आदि रोग भी जल्दी नहीं लगते।

11-चरण स्पर्श करना

हिंदू मान्यता के अनुसार जब भी आप किसी बड़े से मिलें, तो उसके चरण स्पर्श करें। यह हम बच्चों को भी सिखाते हैं, ताकि वे बड़ों का आदर करें।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- मस्त‍िष्क से निकलने वाली ऊर्जा हाथों और सामने वाले पैरों से होते हुए एक चक्र पूरा करती है। इसे कॉसमिक एनर्जी का प्रवाह कहते हैं। इसमें दो प्रकार से ऊर्जा का प्रवाह होता है, या तो बड़े के पैरों से होते हुए छोटे के हाथों तक या फिर छोटे के हाथों से बड़ों के पैरों तक।

12-क्यों लगाया जाता है सिंदूर

शादीशुदा हिंदू महिलाएं सिंदूर लगाती हैं।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- सिंदूर में हल्दी, चूना और मरकरी होता है। यह मिश्रण शरीर के रक्तचाप को नियंत्रित करता है। चूंकि इससे यौन उत्तेजनाएं भी बढ़ती हैं, इसीलिये विधवा औरतों के लिये सिंदूर लगाना वर्जित है। इससे स्ट्रेस कम होता है।

13- तुलसी के पेड़ की पूजा
तुलसी की पूजा करने से घर में समृद्ध‍ि आती है। सुख शांति बनी रहती है।
वैज्ञानिक तर्क- तुलसी इम्यून सिस्टम को मजबूत करती है। लिहाजा अगर घर में पेड़ होगा, तो इसकी पत्त‍ियों का इस्तेमाल भी होगा और उससे बीमारियां दूर होती हैं।
सत्य सनातन धर्म की जय
जय श्री राम
