[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] Hindu daily routine-Call 'him' and....

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

I presume that one is not supposed to sleep with head

towards north. Feet is placed towards south when the

body is kept after the person dies.The intent may be

after death one has to travel to 'yama' loka to find

out the next itinerary.

 

In any case call Bhagavan's name and lie down to

sleep. He will do the needful.

 

If you have time to pass I have copied some comments

from the web. Just rad and enjoyyyy.

 

Regards

-that a bed with the head facing north is good

 

-I know that from an electromagnetic field standpoint,

that it is bad to sleep with your head pointing north.

 

 

-Balinese have a different view of the world and the

cosmos than other races do and this influences even

the way they sleep. Hindus here believe that people

should sleep according the magnetic alignment of the

Earth, meaning that our heads should face north and

our feet south

 

-It’s a bad omen to sleep with your pillow facing

north

 

-Feng shui says East, but several mythologies also say

North. Apparently the reasoning behind that is North

is the direction of the element of Earth. If you sleep

with your head grounded in the Earth direction you

don't become " trapped " in dreamland. These are tales

I've heard from several different sources but it's

basically crazy hippie stuff. Sleep however your

body falls, or whichever way your bed faces.

 

- While the following varies depending on your bedroom

setup, here are few more suggestions. It is best to

sleep with your legs facing to the south or west if

possible. South is usually best in the Northern

hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, such as

Australia and New Zealand, face with your legs more

toward the north. This has to do with releasing

negative energies that everyone picks up during the

day from other people, from computers, televisions and

other stray electromagnetic fields.
