DO’s AND DON’Ts IN DAY TO DAY LIFE - PART 13

If we do not give food to our guests, our progeny and wealth would be destroyed. If you make a guest wait out side and take meals in side, it is equivalent to eating beef.

Brahmins should do Parishechana (pouring little water round the meals plate or leaf three times with Mantras), taking Abochana (drinking very little quantity of water with Mantra) , taking small quantities of rice seven times with mantra, touch the heart with the finger wash with water poured on the left side of the leaf, take meals and then take quantity of water with mantra. 


Many people take some quantity of water in hand, pour it three times round the leaf, pour little drop on the left side and take the remaining water as Abochana. This is extremely wrong.

For each of the actions , we have take water afresh. When we are taking meals with others , it is important that we take the Abochana water together. When little of this water on the meals in day time it is considered as equivalent to honey drops and when done at night it is equivalent o drinking alcohol. Half the Abochana water should be taken in and the other half poured on left side of the leaf with the mantra.

“Rourave apunya nilaye padmarpuda nivasinam,
Artheenaam Udhakam datham Akshayyam upathishtathu.”

If we do not get pure water do Aachamana , recite Pranava (Om) touch the right ear by hands three times. This is called Srothra Aachamana. If we have water we should not do like this.
