Question put to me
Do you really believe that sprinkling of water around food with chanting of mantra will make the food amritham? Is there any scientific proof? Then it would be the easiest way to attain immortality.
My Reply
Sir, I am sure that if a person with adequate penance and honesty can easily do that.
The entire Hinduism hinges on the two-words ऋतम् and सत्यं ।
That is a matter of faith.
However, for that matter, probity and honesty too are matters of conviction and faith. To take it or not is the individual’s choice. For me the happenings and activities beyond my faith are just make-believe matters -a drama enacted to eke out the livelihood.
However, the Divine presence and its absolute potency is real for me. That is my view and I have survived six and half decades with that conviction. In addition, that faith I believe will come with me when I depart. As a Brahmin, I sprinkle water on my food with that faith. I do that when I offer naivedyam to god too.
That is good enough for me.
Ultimately the wise and unwise all go to the same place
