Grandmother’s care: There are many rules and customs in Sanatan Dharma, which are being followed for centuries. These traditions are still alive today because of the elders in the house like grandmothers and grandfathers. Grandmothers tell about many things and at the same time they also object to some things.
Whenever you go out of the house for some auspicious or important work, grandmothers often tell you to eat Dahi Chini before leaving the house. Some people follow it and some don’t. But the tradition of leaving the house after eating curd and sugar has been going on for centuries. Most people do not know the reason behind this. Let us know why grandmothers consider eating curd and sugar so auspicious. What is the religious significance and scientific basis behind it?
Curd is one of the five nectar elements
In Hindu religion, curd has been considered one of the five nectar elements, due to which its importance increases significantly in religious terms. Curd is used in worship, religious rituals etc. Panchamrit is made from curd, Abhishek of Lord Shiva is done with curd etc.
Astrologer Anish Vyas explains that due to the white color of curd, it is related to the planet Moon and when it is eaten with sugar, it brings auspicious results from the planet Moon. Due to the auspiciousness of Moon, luck becomes stronger and the mind also remains calm. That is why grandmothers consider eating curd and sugar together as auspicious.
What is religious belief and what is its scientific basis?
Curd is also considered beneficial for health. Because it contains nutrients like protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and B12 etc. Therefore, curd is included in food in some form or the other.
In such a situation, when you consume curd and sugar before going out of the house, it provides energy to the body, because when sugar is mixed with curd, it acts as glucose. Due to which energy remains in the body and also there is no problem of indigestion etc. That is, grandmother’s advice is not only related to beliefs and traditions but also to health.
