Dear members,

 

When one does 'achamanam' (sipping the water - as it is put in Englis), it is

said the water has to reach one's heart.

 

So, does this reference to the water reaching the heart imply a reference to

what has to thought in mind or does this mean in a way literally, i.e. the water

dripping down to the heart region.

 

This question and my ealier one came when browsing thru this web page:

http://www.payer.de/dharmashastra/dharmash103.htm

 

This site is a good one as it tries to analyse each opinion that was put forward

by different people. Also, it raises a lot of questions. I hope I'll be posting

a lot of questions on dharmasastra and hopefully receive explanations that make

these concepts clear. A lot of confusion comes around the point that we seem to

follow a lot of rules laid down years ago. I have to admit there are some which

holds good irrespective of the ages and some need some refinement.

 

 

Regards,

Malolan
