Guest guest Posted September 27, 2001 Report Share Posted September 27, 2001 Jai Srimannarayana!, Asmad Gurubhyo Namaha: Dear Sriman Keshav, My understanding is when we exhale(like yawn) or give out air from our mouth and other possible body parts(except nose - used for breathing), it is considered as an impure act or we become impure. In order to purify ourselves we touch our right ear where scriptures say that there is River Ganga. Scholars in this group can please correct and clarify me if I am wrong. Please pardon me if the information is not correct or am misguiding anyone.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Priya Sriman Saiji & Kesavaji! Jai Srimannarayana! Information Sriman Sai gave is right. Whatever is released out of the body, the body becomes impure. May be it is from the mouth, nose or somewhare else. Then we need to purify the body, to do the pure activities, like pu:ja, chanting etc. Taking shower is a way to purify the external body. There are somany ways of performing Bath(sna:nam). Bath in the river, well, lake, under the tap, washing the feet, doing a:chamanam, chanting the name of God like Pundari:kaksha, three times etc., Similarly, touching right ear is also one of them. As he rightly mentioned that there is Ganga flows always, in the right ear. So, if we touch it by chanting Lord's name, it means that we observed a sort of shower and got purified ourselves. Then we can go ahead with our activities. So, we need to chant God's name like Pundari:ka:ksha, pundari:ka:ksha, pundari:ka:ksha, after we touched our ear, but not "God bless you" like things. Of course, some people will say these words, those who do not have the concept of God like us. But for us, our elders tought us all these things like this. Start doing that by chanting the name Pundari:ka:ksha. -chinnajeeyar- --- Sai Sambaraju <sai-sambaraju wrote: > Jai Srimannarayana!, > > Asmad Gurubhyo Namaha: > > Dear Sriman Keshav, > > My understanding is when we exhale(like yawn) or > give out air from our > mouth and other possible body parts(except nose - > used for breathing), > it is considered as an impure act or we become > impure.
