Dear Readers,
Radhekrishna!

Coming to our articles,

We bring you a fresh and new concept from the Acupressure technique in this article. Later on as we proceed we will also explain to you how the same technique is linked to Hinduism. Its something which will definitely make you exclaim in surprise as to
'WOW! I didn't know that there can be such deep logic hidden in this apparently ignorant matter!' yes dear readers, the article is like that! Without making you wait any longer here we go with the article.

In the body, as per YOGA SUTHRA, two types of energy flow in a rhythmic manner. The energy flow in the body is termed as NADI.

There are two types of NADI. They are 'IDAI' and 'PINGALAI'. One controls the left hand side of the human body, while the other controls the right hand side.

In olden times, The RISHI’S who used to stay in the forests and perform 'yagnas' (a ritual that generally involves lighting up a sacrificial fire and reciting manthras etc) used to carry a wooden stick under the armpit of the left hand side. This wooden stick was called as 'DHANDAM'. This scene can be actually seen in a few programmes on the television like 'Ramayanam' and 'Mahabharatham' in which the persons performing the role of the rishis actually carry this 'DHANDAM' under their left armpit(though in reality they may not be knowing the real reason behind doing so!). Now this may seem as a very irrelevant thing to the common man while watching these epics. But dear readers this seemingly unimportant thing has a very significant impact!

Logical questions like,

1. Why should they carry it on the 'left hand side' armpit region and not right hand side?
2. Why should they in the first place carry a 'DHANDAM' at all? arise in one's mind.

To which the answer goes thus:
In the human body, the left hand side corresponds to a NADI, which controls and improves the performance of mental creativity. It also controls the cravings and the sexual performances of human beings.

If one aggravates the power of this NADI, one actually induces and adds fuel to the fire of cravings. To check the progress of cravings, one has to control the body through a technique. The RISHI’S used to do this by carrying a wooden stick at the armpit of the left hand side. We know, that wood is a non – conductor of electricity and that it does not let electricity or energy pass through it. We have embarked upon this point in our previous articles related to the wearing of 'wooden slippers' by the rishis if you remember.

But what are the other aspects involved in this technique? What role does acupressure have in this technique? And how does Hinduism once again establish its omnipresent nexus in this science? Let us know the answer to all these questions in the net article.

Till then Radhekrishna! Keep on chanting continuously!

Sarvam Guruvarpanam.
