Cosmic energy flows in our body from one end to another; it is connected between two minds and hearts. It is this energy that is transferred through handshakes and hugs; moreover, the cosmic energy gathers at our fingertips, and therefore, when we touch feet of our elderly, it is transferred to the one who touches the feet. In this manner, fingers of hands become receptor and fingers of feet become a giver of energy.

Normally, trees produce oxygen during the day and emit carbon dioxide during the night; but very few of us know that Peepal tree produces oxygen during day and night. And therefore, our ancestors started worshiping Peepal tree.


14) Why Do We Worship Tulsi Plant?

Tulsi is considered as a mother by Hindus; Tulsi, which is Holy Basil in botany, has many medicinal properties. Basil has antibiotic properties, which increases immunity if taken every day. It is believed that if a person consumes basil every day, he or she can live a long and healthy life as the plant prevents diseases and stabilizes health. Moreover, the fragrance of Tulsi averts mosquitoes and other insects; it is also believed that snakes do not tread near Tulsi plant, and therefore, people in ancient times used to plant Tulsi near their houses.
