Which Hand Should You Eat With? Keep These Things in Mind While Eating!
Is it right to use both hands while eating? Is it proper to use your mobile phone while eating? Is it correct to take your mobile to the bathroom?
The answer to all these questions is connected to our physical and mental purity.
When you eat and use your phone at the same time, the phone also becomes impure.
It is not proper to touch anything with impure or unclean hands — especially after using the toilet and after eating, until you have purified your hands with soap, mud or ash, etc., any contact is considered impure.
We carry our mobile everywhere with us — even into temples. It is necessary that we also try to keep our mobile sacred.
While eating, do naam jap and if possible, instead of taking your mobile to the bathroom, do naam smaran in your mind. It is not proper to take your mobile there.
Always eat with your right hand only. Keep your left hand pure and separate — you can use it to take more food. If a very important call comes, you can talk with your left hand, but under normal circumstances, wash your hands after eating before picking up your mobile.
Avoid breaking bread or other things with both hands. Try to eat with only one hand. You must have seen this in the pangat of the saints — that they receive prasad with only one hand.
Washing hands before eating is mandatory — this is not only a symbol of purity from a religious perspective, but is also extremely necessary for health.
