Nails should not be clipped by ourselves. If we clip it, we have to immediately
take a bath. The clipped nail should be thrown outside our house. Nails should
not be bitten.
Twigs ,
Durba grass and flowers should not be clipped by nails.
Hair, beard and nails should not be grown by a house holder for more than a month. But if wife becomes pregnant or if the father or mother die, then they should not be cut for one year.
Wearing
cloth
Moodevi
(Jyeshta, the harbinger of bad luck) comes and attacks those who do not wear
cloths or one who does not wear Pancha Kacha (Dhoti which is tucked in 5
places) or one who wears only a loin cloth. It has become a practice in South
India , to do most of the rituals without Pancha Kacham. It should be worn in
such a way that the end of the cloth should not be visible.
The dhoti should not be washed at night.
If we
knock our feet against some thing while walking out side, we should take small
soil from there and put a mark in our forehead with it.
When you meet Brahmins, Sumangalis(Married woman with husband alive) , temple, God, Banyan tree and cow you have to go round them only clock wise (Pradakshina).
