2484. What is Soma Yagam?
Ans. The process of
renouncing the afflicted or quoted illusion (Maya) in the Jeevathama/Soul is
Soma Yagam.
2483. What is Soma Rasam?
Ans. In Vedic
context and spiritual contexts, it has different meanings. However, the mostly
accepted two approaches are: 1. The Jeevathma under the influence of Maya
(illusion) is called Soma. 2. The joy or time Lord Siva with Uma
Devi. In other words here Soma is Uma Devi i.e., Jeevathma
(Devotee), and Rasa is Siva i.e., Aathma (Swamy). As we know very
well Gods are playing this divine game by splitting themselves into pairs to
play games. To play a game we need two parties isn’t. Therefore, God split into
Male & Female, Master & Disciple, God and Devotee, Husband, and wife, Positive
energy, Negative energy, etc… However, we all know in many scriptures all
divine personalities were given the Soma Rasam to consume. Soma is also a leaf
mixed with roots of plants that promotes an intoxicated mood (but not like the
modern chemical alcohol) with a taste of sweetness. The inner meaning of this Soma
Rasam (The essence of life) is that those Maharshis (Great personalities)
during Yagna worship were offering themselves to divine celestial bodies to
attain Swaragavasam and abundant wealth during their stay on Earth. So, to
please these devas (Gods) they were offering this Sarbath (Soma Rasam) as a
welcome drink or nivedhyam. A true devotee would give up / renounce everything for
the sake of his/her God, (here the Soma/Body and Rasam/Soul). I don’t see any big deal in making a nonsense
statement such as Devaaa are always drinkers, holding liquor-filled cups, etc…
Please note Devas cannot consume Soma Rasam drink unless they were offered
during Yagna. Nowadays most of the corrupted
cinemas and serials directors were showing 24/7 Devas drinking and dancing
etc. Kindly note Devas cannot do that because they will lose their divine ship. Moreover,
Devas are very busy personalities looking after 14 words unlike this tiny Earth
ruled by few funny politicians or gangsters. This shows how much knowledge these
Directors possess about the upper worlds. Cheap humans can think only in a cheap way
is the right conclusion.
2482. What is Purodasam (an eatable cooked food
offered during Havan)?
Ans. It consists of
3 ingredients as Rice powder, Ghee, and Havis (Raw
rice/Oblation) cooked together in the water. Looks like Payasam. This is the main food
offered to all celestial (Divine) personalities during the Yagnam.
2481. What is the real meaning of Pasu and Aswam in
Vedas?
Ans. In recent
times, there is huge negative hypes and contradictions raised by many
non-believers during Vedic times scholars conducting Pasu Medha Yagnam and
Aswa Medha Yagnam, which means they were casually killing those animals, etc… However,
to understand the real meaning of Vedas one must be a master of Vedangaas such
as Siksha, Vyakaranam, Kalpam, Niruktham, Chhandhas, and Jyothisham otherwise
huge misunderstandings can happen among unscholarly people. By the way, the real
meaning of Pasu and Aswam is = Pasu means Ghnaana Prakasam of a
Dharmishtan (i.e., The overflowing wisdom or true knowledge/Ghyaan of a
person is Pasu. In other words, the mood of a Jeeva or Soul’s ecstasy) and Aswam
means undefendable great divine powers. The literal meaning of Aswam is
Sun God himself, the divine king of space, or Aathma Dhaatha who keeps giving us
light and energy without fail.
2480. Soma Yagam how many types?

Sodasi, Aaptoryama, Vaajapeyam.
2479. What is Advaitha Darsanam (Vision) of Sri Adi
Sankara Charya?

Philosophy of Sri Sankara. Whereas the Path of Karma (Yagna Samskaram) is
propagated by Poorva Meeemaamsa. Meemaamsa is a branch of Sanathana
Hindu Philosophies. The meaning of
Meemaamsa is Reflection, Doubt, consideration, Investigation, Examination, Discussion,
Profound Thought, etc. Just look at how elaborate are Hindu philosophies. Here
no one is on top of anyone. Every human has been given equal respect to debate their
way of understanding Aathma, birth, life, death, liberation, etc… No
one in this universe will be able to stand before Sanathana Hindu Philosophy.

Ans. 7 days are
segregated into two divisions viz. 1. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday,

check whether the breath is passing through the left or right nose. If the breath
is passing through the left nose and the days belong to 1st
set it indicates that this day will be prosperous and successful. If the breath
is running through the right nose and the days belong to 2nd
set, then the day will be successful and prosperous on all undertakings. If it
is the opposite, then the results will be negative and failure in the undertaking.
Another approach is that during the entire Sukla Paksham (waxing period of the Moon)
the breath is running through the left nose of any day, still, the results will be
positive and successful and during Krishna Paksham (waning period of the Moon)
it should be right nose for a successful day.

and human houses?
Ans. It is a
practice to install the Upadevathaas (sub-level Gods who will not have main entries
in a temple) in Vaishnava and Saiva Temples. Mainly these Upadevathaas come to
Siva or Vishnu for removing their afflictions or to help the main deity and decided
to stay in that temple after completing the task in one of the side portions hence
Upadevathas, not the main ones). In Vaishnava Temples = Upadevathaas should
not be installed/invoked on the left side or rare side of the main deity. In Siva
or Ugra Moorthy Temples = Upadevathaas should not be installed/invoked on the right side and frontside of the main deity. When humans are going to construct a house,
they must ensure that the same rule is followed and applicable. Nowadays none
of these rules are followed therefore more problems are faced by the people
irrespective of having a temple.

Ans. BC 1800-1500 (As

and dematerialize their human body. He was very much present during and before the Mahabharata war. Therefore, if need be, he can appear even today. Considering
this special paradigm, it is an act of foolishness to estimate and conclude
this living period. Why because, between Mahabharata's wartime and his life
has a gap of around 1267 years, which one is correct will be questioned.
According to me, modern science does not have the capability to judge
ancient great personalities.

speaking, since it came from God so let it go back to God itself. By practicing

Ghnaana Kandas, one can regulate its harming power into helping power through
Vedic practices. These Doshas are 1. Karma Malam (afflictions of actions

power is being generated within our body, that is not visible nor touchable by

powerful, and it can travel faster than light and sound. Humans are social

Weed in English, Sahadevi in Sanskrit), 2. Needle and Magnet, 3. Pathivrutha

point within our body. Lord Siva revealed the knowledge of 16 Chakras to each
Rishi (7 Rishis by 16 Chakras makes a total of 112 Antharmaya Chakras) and 2 outside
Bahirmaya Chakras to all Rishis. Therefore, a total of 114 Chakras were
revealed by Lord Siva. Whereas in today’s world, we know only 6 Chakras and
making so much progress among the practitioners! Whether we know or don’t know
these Chakras are working within our body and two Chakras are outside like the Sun
and Moon or the upper portion of Earth/Human and down the portion of Earth/Human (you
may call it Akasam and Pathalam and the Earth is in-between. When you look at it

contrary, if Mercury or Saturn is placed then it will go to Naraklok
(Hell).
2261. How God's existence (the Supreme Paramathman) was conceived by our great Rishis?
Ans. They meditated to identify the existence of the Almighty and come to the conclusion that God has formless energy as well as form as mass. The primordial sound OM is "Formless" and the Light is its "Form". This is the beginning of the search results for God. Later they were described in many forms according to the situation and need.
2260. What are the relationship or significations of
planets in terms of Saptha Dhathus and metals?
Ans. The human body
constitution is a mind-boggling zillion assembly strategy. To make something
there must be a mass or an ingredient required. When we look at the cosmos, we
can see an unbelievably wonderful constitution exactly like the human body. Therefore,
Maharshi's through their Thapass realized that this human body is created by the
Brahma by procuring different elements or ingredients from the same cosmic
world. That is why Maharshis identified
or discovered that celestial objects have a direct and indirect relationship or presence in all living beings especially humans. Now let us see who the dominant
contributor is for the very important seven elements in the body.
Star Planet SUN,
represent Asthi (Bone) and the element of Copper (Thamram)
Star Planet MOON

Planet SATURN
represents Snaayu (Meat/Mamsam) and the element of Iron (Loham).

and agree to already refer to Lord Brahma’s life span?
Ans. Scientifically
one cannot see or realize Brahma (who is Time and Space) this Brahmanda
(our Galaxy) is as old as 155.522 trillion years old. When they say that agree
with Brahma’s life span means the day this Earth became habitable for living
beings! (For modern understanding). NASA used COBE and WMAP Satellite, and also
rejected the big bang theory and its estimations (claimed because modern
science can’t stick to its discovery due to its nature). I have included this here only for an
understanding purpose because we don’t bother with what they say and agree or
disagree with our Sanathana Dharma Sastra’s claims.
2258. Who was created first as Manushya (Human) as per
Lord Brahma (Aadhya Prajapathi/First Creator)?
Ans. According to

(Sperm) are called Manushya Samooham. Manu through his austerities and Thapass
became Manu Maharshi. He acquired a great amount of divine knowledge and powers
due to which he could produce various types of children on a mass scale. All his
creations were called Manushya/Humans (derived from Manu became Manushya), at
the same time Lord Brahma also created his other Manasa Puthras (mind-born
children with the divine body). Manu and Satharoopa have nothing to do with Adam and
Eve. Manu and Satharoopa were born much before the Abrahamic tales.

Veda sasthram it is 155.522 Trillion already got over (as of AD 2021).
2255. Who is the biggest relative in this world?
Ans. God (Easwara).
Because all the products in this world is Almighty God’s creation/children only.
Therefore, one divine personality has the entire universal beings as his/her
relatives. What a simple truth!
2254. How can we know whether our deeds are received and
accepted by God and he/she is happy with it?
Ans. If a Karma
(act) produced positive good results means God liked it and graced the act.
Whereas, if it failed and produced bad results means God is not in favour of
such acts therefore, he/she can refrain from such deeds in the future. In this
concept one can easily understand what is good and what is a bad act, therefore,
one can strengthen the relationship with God accordingly.
2253. What are the important Dheekshas?
And. Dheeksha means
an accomplished Guru initiating his/her disciple after eradicating the
disciple’s bad karmas and its malefic effects then burning it with his (Guru’s)
Thapo Sakthi (divine power). Both are destined to each other and such Gurus
are rare in today’s world. Nowadays it is merely a function or fashion show!
These Dheekshaas a many however the important ones are seven. 1. Mantra
Dheeksha, 2. Paadha Dheeksha, 3. Hastha Dheeksha, 4. Mano
Dheeksha, 5. Sparsa Dheeksha, 6. Chakshu Dheeksha, 7. Dhravya

conducted just before an auspicious event to be held in a Brahmin’s house such
as Vivaham (Wedding), Upanayanam (Sacred thread wearing ceremony) and Seemantha
Pumsavanam etc. This function is known as Bheejanguranam (Sprouting
function). There are 12 Dhanyams (full seeds) to be immersed/soaked in a milk
mixed water pot 24 hours before the function. Each seed is representing one
deity and it produces significant unique divine energies and is considered as a
sacred ritual. It is also indicating that humans must get involved in
agriculture activities before getting into married life and producing progeny. They
are 1. Yavam seed represented by Brahma, 2. Lagu Mudgam
seed (Moong) for Vishnu, 3. Thandhuba (Mustard seed) for Siva,

Thwashta, 12. Vishnu.
2248. Where one should construct temples?
Ans. Every quarter
has its own significance as well as its presiding deity. There are some
synchronizing facts that need to be considered to achieve better positive energy. The
same concept can be followed at home too. Our ancestors have done enough
research and guided us that East or West quarter facing is very good
for Lord Maha Vishnu, North-East (Easana Corner) for Lord
Siva, North-West is for Durga Devi / Bhagavathy, North
for Lord Subramanian, South-West corner for Maha Ganapathy and
Lord Ayyappan.

Ans. The power of deities
(ever-living divine power) was invoked in an idol that involves all 16 Kalas through the Vedic or Agama sastra method and erected in a Garbha Gruha (sanctum sanctorum)
of a temple. They call it Kala or Sakthi Visesham or Characteristics of
Almighty God. They are five groups, viz., 1. Parathathwakala = The power
to save and protect devotees, eradicate their sins, and finally grant Moksham
(liberation). The readiness of the deity’s interest can be understood by analysing the
Bhavams 1 and 8. 2. Vyoohathwakala = Parathathwakala promotes and
produces Amodham, Sommodham and Pramodham (all types of happiness) to its deity.
This Vyoohathwakala helps the deity to show its Parathathwakala among its devotees. The readiness of the deity’s interest can be understood by analysing the Bhavams between
1 and 5. 3. Vibhavathwakala = The power to exercise creation, sustenance,
and withdrawal (Srushti, Sthithi, Samharam) activities in the Universe. The readiness of the deity’s status can be understood by analysing the Bhavams 5 and 8. 4. Antharyamithwakala
= Ever pervading power across all beings and non-being. This can be understood
by analysing the Bhavams 3 and 8. 5. Archavatharathwakala = To receive
the worship or poojas of devotees God incarnate as per their wish or appear in front of them. The readiness of the deity’s status can be understood by analysing
the Bhavams of 1, 5 and 8.

(knowledge about the creator, almighty God, supreme being).
2241. How does the Jeevathma form to enter the body
and its exit path/stage?
Ans. It is a transit
game taking place between Earth (Prithvi) and Space (Akasa) along with the other
five elements. First, let us understand the process of Jeevathma leaving the
body and merging in the space. Our existence can be realized as a complete bonding
of colours and five elements of this nature (Prapancha). Stage 1 to 7 is Yellow
colour (Planet Mars and Earth element) will merge in Orange
colour (Planet Moon and Water element), then both will merge in Red
colour (Planet Sun and Fire element), thereafter all three colours
will merge in Violet/Purplish Blue (Planet Saturn and Air
element), then all four colours and elements will merge in Indigo/Blackish Blue
colour (Planet Venus and Space element) then all those five
colours will merge in Sky Blue (Planet Jupiter and Moola
Prakruthi element) and then finally all colours and elements will merge in Green
colour (Planet Mercury and Jeevathma element). When the Jeevathma
exit the body, it will take the shape of a Thump finger size and ascend towards
Space, known as Sookshma Sareeram (subtle body). The same chronology is
followed when the Jeevathma descend from Space to Earth (into a mortal body). The body is representing Earth or Mass.
2240. Which is the power that always stays with
Jeevathma?
Ans. God alone!
Whether Jeevamath resides inside the body or leaves the body this divine power
always follows the Jeevathma just like its shadow. When this is the truth then
why do some Puranas and people criticise God as well as blames the Jeevathma to be
a Ghost etc. In my view, Jeevathma is the progeny of God therefore God will be
always with the Jeevathma just like the parents and children relationship.
2239. What is Thridosha Kalam?
Ans. The human body
consists of three doshas (natural afflictions) viz Kapha, Pitta
and Vaatha. Their responsibilities are to upkeep the body through its
specialized functions. It is known as Dosha because most of the people will
have imbalanced or shortfalls to its average balance hence it makes people
often sick. Their ruling period is, 1. Kapha between 0600 and 1000
hours – it cleans up all types of polluted and toxic items from our
body, 2. Pittha between 1000 and 1400 hours – it digests the food, 3. Vaatha
between 1400 and 1800 hours – it cleans the nerves. For example, up to 10.00 am one should only drink hot water or hot liquids so that it will help
the Kidney function better, on the contrary, most of the people just dump a heavy
load of food this will naturally make that person sick!
2238. What is the right time for having full-course
meals (Mrushtaanna Bhojanam)?
Ans. Morning 0900
and 1200 hours and then the night in 1900 and 2000 hours. Only two times full
course food is allowed for a person.
2237. Why ordinary people are unable to see God?
Ans. Since God is absolutely
pure and compassionate, unless a devotee becomes that (pure and
compassionate) it is not possible to see God with naked eyes, just like to
taste sweet even the tongue should have its senses in working condition.
2236. How does the Agnaanam dies?

efforts and God’s grace, the Ignorance will perish completely. The ideal practice is
Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

Ans. There are two
rules that define Ignorance. Rule 1. Not knowing the real absolute truth is
Ignorance. Rule 2. The truth is not known through the right path is also
Ignorance.
2234. Who is the significator of all food products that
create energy after consumption?
Ans. Planet Saturn
(Sani). Due to the influence of Saturn energy all food items are getting their status
for consumption. In other words, all pre-eaten or raw food are the elements of
Saturn energy only. All eatable produce such as grains, vegetables, leaves,
pulses and minerals are nourished by the Moon and once it is ready for eating it
will become Saturn. (Kindly note non-vegetarian food is not for humans).
Thereafter the consumed food become the elements of Budhan, Guru, Sooryan, Kujan
and finally Venus respectively. We can only see Saturn (Jadam/Mass/Matter) as
the raw food thereafter none of the other processes can be seen by our naked
eyes. Once it becomes energy (moon) the remains remain Saturn element that comes
out as discharge. In other words, Saturn was the beginning and Saturn is the end
for all living beings. That is why the majority of people does not understand the philosophical subtle body but consider the mortal (Jadam) as everything! What
an illusion (Maya).
2233. How is our eaten food becoming an energy element in our
body?
Ans. From the first
day of eating the eaten food undergo the digestive system for the next 30 days.
Only on the 30th day, the eaten food is getting completed its
digestion process. First, it is getting crushed inside the mouth (first
digestion session) and produces a taste of sweetness, thereafter, reaching the
belly and get the support of bile to undergo a second session of digestion within
5 days. This digested food will taste saltiness. This partly digested food
split into energy (Oorja) and chyme (Amarasa). Hereafter within every 5 days
period that energy become Mamsa (Meat), Sphita (Fat), Asthi (Bone), Majja
(marrow) then Suklam (Sperm for males and Nadam for females). So, in 5 days of
digestion x 6 Dhathus equal 30 days. Please note modern medical science may not
agree with this but this is what is said in our sastras.

Dhathus promote a particular ailment (Roga dhatha) in the human body?

(Blood and Energy), Sun/Sooryan = Asthi (Bones).

Ganga (leftover holy water Ganga after Siva Pooja), 3. Devi-uchishta Madhu
(leftover hony of Devi Pooja), 4. Ven-Pattu Vasthram (white colour velvet silk
cloth), 5. Noothana Aajyam (just now prepared cow’s ghee), 6. Kuthapa Kaalam 14
to 16 Nazhika (approximately between 11.30 and 12.24 hours), 7. Black sesame
seeds.
2228. Who is the reason for Karma to grow?

(Ego or Pride).

the work you do whether good or bad. Over a period, the Jeevathma will
automatically merge in Almighty Paramathma. This is the simplest way.
2225. How do day and night duration differed during
different Yugas (Era/Epic)?
Ans. The daytime is
getting reduced from Kritha/Sathya Yuga to Kali Yuga. 1. Kritha Yuga (Golden
Age) day and night used to be 21 and 21 hours (42 hours a day!), 2. Thredha
Yuga (Silver Age) day and night used to be 18 and 18 hours (36 hours a day!),
3. Dwapara Yuga (Copper Age) day and night used to be 15 and 15 hours (30 hours
a day!), 4. Kali Yugam (Iron Age) day and night are 12 and 12 hours. Please note
we need to think aloud here, it is not mentioned which Chathur Yugas. Therefore,
we need to assume it was during a very old period. As we know from the sastras
that this is the 28th Kali Yugam and that was started 5222 years
back. According to scientific historical evidence prior to 5222 years back
there was no 15 and 15 hours a day (total 30 hours!), so it may be much earlier Yugas. However, it could be true because I remember reading some old
books where it was mentioned that one year was not 365 days of today’s
practice. It was some 600+ add days etc. In my opinion, modern research won’t
help because it is biased towards western thinking and interest, there is no
original historical evidence that is easily available to debate.
2224. What is Hari-vasaram?
Ans. Hari-vasaram is
an elective time or auspicious period i.e., Muhoortham. This period is
important for one to break the fast of Ekadasi. This Muhoortham will fall

15 Nazhikas, a total of 30 Nazhikas (12 hours). The last bit is very important
than the whole hours.
2223. Where one should do Asthi Sanjayanam (immersing bones
of a dead person, if cremated)?
Ans. It should be
buried close to holy riverbanks or lakes. However, many of us used to immerse
it in the sea, because seawater is having salt which can easily digest/decay
the bones in the shortest period. According to Sanathanee’s belief system, until
these bones get completely digested and mix with Pancha Bhoothas there cannot be the next birth. Another belief is that if the bones are in close touch with
water the Jeevathma who resided in that bones (Skelton) will not face thirst until
it enters another body. Whereas, according to the Bhodhayana Rishi system it is not
allowed to immerse it in the sea except riverbanks or lakes.
2222. When is the right day to touch the seawater?
Ans. Only on
Amavasya and Poornima days can touch the seawater. In fact, touching the seawater these days is also important and auspicious.
2221. Where are the Praana Sthanaas (Vital Air/Life

Soorya Grahana Punya Kaalam + 1,000 Chandra Grahana Punya Kaalam + 10,000
Vyatheepatham Kaalam + 100,000 Amavasya Puny Kaalam. During these days if a
person performs a good deed, he/she will accumulate so much of Punyam in their
life, at the same time doing a bad deed/karma they will accumulate so much of
Paapam (demerits) too.
2219. Parent’s death day (Pithru Dhinam / Death
Anniversary day) is a good or bad day?
Ans. According to
sastra, it is a good/auspicious day. It says that 3 ½ crore is more auspicious
than Dwadasi Thidhi day. Dwadasi is one of the best precious and auspicious days.
Therefore, one should not hesitate to do all good work on this day especially
some offering to their departed parents and other living relatives or deserving
poor people.

2192. When you chant OM (the Pranava Mantra) how the
energy raises from bottom to top?
Ans. The Mantra OM
is a symbol as well as a symbolic sound. It is made up on A+U+M signifying the
Trinity concept of Sanathana Dharmam. A represented by Maha Vishnu
(Sathwa), U represented by Maheswara (Thamas) and M represented
by Brahma (Rajas). When you say A… the sound waves vibrates between Mooladharam
and Manipooram centres (spine tale till stomach) then it raises to Anahatham
till Visudhi when you say U…, thereafter it further raises to Agna chakram till
Sahasraram when you say M… This M has no end, means it merges with the cosmic
field and travel without any boundaries hence it is considered as Ardha Mantra
(always half). The entire galaxy is considered to be a field of Thamas
(Darkness) therefore, the Siva element has neither beginning nor end
(Ananth/Limitless). Therefore, chanting OM means the chanter is connecting
himself/herself with the cosmic energy field with the help of the physical body and
become part of that limitless cosmic energy.

Vedic Philosophy seeing these stars gives a strength among the newly married
couple to work together to achieve everything in life. The reason is that
usually when two stars are together, if one rotates the other rotate opposite
(motion theory), whereas, these stars always rotate together like two wheels in
a chariot. Therefore, it is auspicious to see them, while gazing the elders
would tell the couple to follow the path of Arundhadhi and Vasishta stars to
make the life fruitful and purposeful.

2189. What is called Savarnam or Savarnee?
And. It is a symbol
of class or division based on their inherited knowledge and experience in a
particular field. Assume that if all those four pillars of power are with one
person such as “knowledge, weapons, wealth and land” there is a high chance of misuse
and aggression which can eventually bring destruction to the society,
therefore, Sages decided to divide these powers with four individual sects and
asked them to concentrate and master it for the sake of better future. In this
way, the birth of Brahmin (knower), Kshathriyan (ruler), Vaisya (trader) and
Soodran/Soothiran (labour) were created. Savarnam does not mean that it is
applicable only to Brahmin. All are Varnees according to their profession and
expertise however, if they do well in their field then they become Sa-Varnee (an
expert among its class). Therefore, you have Savarnees in all four sects.
Example superior knowledge among knowledged people, superior administrator
among rulers, superior businessman among the business community and extraordinary
architect or designers. I would like to clarify further the “Soodran concept”, it
is not Soodran it is Soothiran (the person who can design a concept and
articulate it – in fact, he is most important than others in practical life).

mis-interpreted and divided the people to create conflicts.

Deepam is offered to the Almighty God to ward off the five types of natural

for not performing or repaying such debts. These five debts are nothing but
feeding and taking care of the Bhoothas, Devas, Pithrus, Athidhis and Manushya through
Yagnaa (offers).
2177. How did the Dharbha Grass come into existence?
Ans. This grass was
born from the sky itself (Akaasa Jatham), it was created by the divine itself
for the purpose of Deva and Pithru rituals. Therefore, the Dharbha grass itself
sacred and the power of trinity is merged in the grass. The bottom (Moolam) part is
occupied by the power of Brahma, the centre (Madhyam) portion by Vishnu and to
top (Agram) part is Siva, due to this reason Dharbha grass will never have
impurity in it (Nirmalya Dosham). No Deva and Pithru karma to be conducted
without wearing Dharbha Grass as Pavithram or Seating Mat or Belt or Ring in
the body. Darbha Grass does not decay easily. According to a modern study when
the Dharba Grass is in contact with water it purifies the water by 73%+ and PH
