Stop being a ignoramous about your own world, its shameful.<br /><br />It would be illogical to call these stories Mythological. <br /><br />Firstly, the word mythology comes from the word "Mythya or Mithya" from Sanskrit which means a lie or deception. Hence from the beginning you are adding some thing very wrongful to begin with.<br /><br /> It has been an Abrahmic ploy to warp history , and people keep using the subtle manipulation which will destroy the foundations of Vedic civilization.<br />Its best you become more aware of the destruction happening around you.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.augadha.com" rel="nofollow">Augadha</a>Druvhttp://www.augadha.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021738822692225370.post-47888629105330307752011-10-15T02:25:49.764+05:302011-10-15T02:25:49.764+05:30I'm a pure vegi ...I'm a pure vegi ...Racahsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021738822692225370.post-87632174702214748942011-10-14T21:20:18.176+05:302011-10-14T21:20:18.176+05:30Let me add one more superstition:

As you said not washing clothes may be to have a break in monotony. Or not eat non-veg on certain days is for giving system rest. We should not follow anything blindly but at times there seems to be no logic on first thought but deeper thinking may provide it.<br /><br />Take careJacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021738822692225370.post-5989648910830334422011-10-05T00:06:19.975+05:302011-10-05T00:06:19.975+05:30Well some of the myths I do follow like crossing o...Well some of the myths I do follow like crossing of the black cat but find it bit amazing when people don't eat nonveg on some specific week days. <br /><br />Weakest LINKRacahsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021738822692225370.post-70269729405582238472011-10-04T23:52:53.140+05:302011-10-04T23:52:53.140+05:30Yes.. indeed...!!! even i am not a big believer of...Yes.. indeed...!!! even i am not a big believer of all these rituals.. but somehow end up following it on elder's advice.. very recently i saw those rituals being performed in my own home like those to ward of the evil eye.. and bingo.. it was done the same way you mentioned it.. i mean.. the red chilly one.. it was red chillies along with a little bit of salt and sesame seeds.. rotate it around ..and along the body of the child.. and you know how many times.. 21 times it is.. and thrown in open fire.. <br /><br />Nyhow...what i feel is.. even if we dont believe in these, we end up following these for we are afraid of certain things.. like.. we dont follow it. .and then what if something happens.. ?? so instead of getting the wrath of the family elders, we follow it too.. though reluctantly.. <br /><br />and by the way.. astonished a little bit.. seeing that most of the rituals that you have mentioned is being done by us mallus in kerala.. !! are these rituals have a pan india presence..? i thought they would be different in teh way they are done..
