Vedic Wisdom behind eating with your hands
Vedic Wisdom behind eating with your hands
Eating food with the hands in today’s Western society can sometimes be perceived as being unhygienic, bad mannered and primitive. However within Indian culture there is an old saying that,
” Eating food with your hands feeds not only the body but also the mind and the spirit”.
In the Big Brother series some years back, an English participant complained about an Indian participants use of her hands during food preparations and her eating habits, “They eat with their hands in India, don’t they? Or is that China? You don’t know where those hands have been.” Within many Indian households nowadays, the practice of eating food with the hands has been replaced with the use of cutlery.
Have you ever thought of why previous generations in India ate with the hands? There is a reason for their this. The practice of eating with the hands originated within Ayurvedic teachings. The Vedic people knew the power held in the hand.
The ancient native tradition of eating food with the hands is derived from the mudra practice, which is prevalent in many aspects within Hinduism. Mudras are used during mediation and are very prominent within the many classical forms of dance, such as Bharatnatyam
\.
The hands are considered the most precious organ of action. This is linked to the Vedic prayer of
“Karagre vasate Laksmih karamule Sarasvati Karamadhye tu Govindah prabhate karadarsanam”
(On the tip of your fingers is Goddess Lakshmi, on the base of your fingers is Goddess Saraswati; in the middle of your fingers is Lord Govinda), which we recite whilst looking at our palms. Thus, this shloka suggests that all the divinity lies in human effort.
Our hands and feet are said to be the conduits of the five elements. The Ayurvedic texts teach that each finger is an extension of one of the five elements. The thumb is agni (fire) (you might have seen children sucking their thumb, this is nature’s way of aiding the digestion in children at an age when they are unable to do an physical activity to aid the digestion), the forefinger is vayu (air), the middle finger is akash (ether - the tiny intercellular spaces in the human body), the ring finger is prithvi (earth) and the little finger is jal (water).
Each finger aids in the transformation of food, before it passes on to internal digestion. Gathering the fingertips as they touch the food stimulates the five elements and invites Agni to bring forth the digestive juices. As well as improving digestion the person becomes more conscious of the tastes, textures and smells of the foods they are eating, which all adds to the pleasure of eating.
You may have noticed that elders in the family hardly ever use utensils to measure all the different type of masala, and would instead prefer to use their hands to measure the quantity instead. As each handful is tailored to provide a suitable amount for the own body. Overall there are 6 main documented forms that the hands take when obtaining a measurement a certain type of food ranging from solid food to seeds, and flour.
This is a prime example of how many things within Hindu culture may seem weird and unusual at first glance, but once a closer look is taken it is surprising, but a vast amount of knowledge is revealed.

A brief interview with Mr. Chinna will expose his inner self to the readers.
Q: What inspired you to take to stage and film acting?
Ans: I was always fascinated to act on stage during my school times. Later, as the days went by, I studied many character actors and the messages within the plays or in the films and thus refined myself to be what I am today.
Q: Can you name two actors, one male and one female who have cast an impression with their acting within your mind?
Ans: It is difficult to answer this question! There are many legends who were great in their own styles. Of the recent ones with stage background, I admire Anupam Kher and Rohini Hattangady. Their acting is superb according to my observation.
Q: Tell us something about ‘Ranga Chinnari' initiated by you
Ans: ‘Ranga Chinnari' is a non-profit Trust started by myself to promote talents from rural and urban locales, especially street children who live below poverty line. We train them rigorously for three months at least and have street shows in most of the towns around Kasargod and in Coastal Karnataka. We also provide free education, books and uniform to the kids that we promote in ‘Ranga Chinnari'. My children also participate along with the street kids to inspire them. We have no bar as far as caste creed or religion is concerned.
Q: You are planning to release unique drama books in three different languages. What is the specialty of these books and when will you be releasing them?
Ans: Probably I am the only person on this earth translating dramas from three different origins and languages to entirely three other languages spoken in a totally different orientation!
First one is ‘Samhaara' in Kannada translated from original Malayalam work ‘Samhaaram' by Late KT Mohammed.
Second is a Russian drama by the famous playwright Gogol called ‘Inspector General' which was earlier transliterated to Kannada by Srinivas Prabhu by the name ‘Banda Banda Saradaara'. I have translated it as ‘Ailo Re Ailo' in Konkani.
Finally there is a Bengali drama by Shambhumitra Amita Maitra called ‘Kanchanaganga' that I have translated to Tulu by the name ‘Kaas Paatherundu'.
I have taken the help of many friends in translating these dramas for which I remain grateful forever.
These are scheduled to be released between February 6th and 9th at many places from Ravindra Kalakshetra in Bangalore to Karwar, including Mandya, Mysore Mangalore and Udupi.
Q: Which is the most unforgettable moment in your life?
Ans: I got a prime role called ‘Kullan' in the TV Serial ‘Tenali Rama' in Hindi directed by TS Nagabharana the first episode of which was telecast the same evening that I got married! The anticlimax was, though many of my well wishers were eagerly waiting to watch the serial, entire Kasargod town had power-cut that evening, though I could watch it with the back-up of generator set!
Q: What is your message to the younger generation?
Ans: Be creative, work hard, be broad minded, respect all castes and religions and finally try to support art and cultural heritage of this land whole heartedly. You will see the difference in contentment thus!
