Shun Ceramic, Porcelain, Bone China, Leather, et al.
To have pure mind, it is imperative that the food is also pure. Eating all sorts of things at all sorts of places, is the main reason for the several mental problems and indiscipline, nowadays. As an indication of having learnt about the greatness of Aacharya, we should put to practice at least these kind of small things. – Jagadguru Chandrasekharendra Saraswathy Swamigal
Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara – Ceramics, Porcelain and many fancy names are nothing but crushed cow bones. As a compassionate human being one needs to look around for the source of products we are using on a daily basis. In this world of crass commercialization we may think it is a challenge but as Periyava says, if one decides to adopt a simple life style and start avoiding luxuries we can cut down on a lot of above mentioned items which will help NOT piling up several ‘doshams’ on ourselves and our progeny. We all know how and where we get the leather from but not many are aware of Ceramic, Porcelain, and Bone China products. While we should not even think of using these products once, unfortunately, many a times these products make all the way even to our Puja rooms on a daily basis in the form of Puja item containers, Thamboolam plates, etc. If Maha Periyava says even the usage of Eversilver items are bad, think about these products which are obtained from cruel killing of many Gho Mathas.
In Deivathin Kural, Sri Periyava has elaborated in detail on the evils of eating out and how much it affects our spiritual progress. In eat outs, not only we eat on plates/cups that millions have used before but the above mentioned products are also primarily used as plates, cups, and cutleries. It is very regrettable that even many Periyava devotees go freely to these eat outs and to top it off flaunt those pictures proudly in Social media. As Periyava bhakthas, let’s introspect our actions and make changes to our life style as needed. Please read the links below for more info. and also google on Bone China where we get tons of info. about the composition of these products. There are many eco friendly foam substitutes available for leather products as well.
As a first step, let us do with all these above products from our homes and also share the information with like minded people and friends which will align ourselves to Periyava’s teachings and mission. Sri Periyava Thiruvadi Sharanam. Rama Rama
