WATER
WATER the
elixir of life. One can stay for long period
without food but not without water.
It carries
life force to different parts of the body.
In olden
days we had to go the place where the water was available. Now we get it at our place, we do not travel
long distances.
The water of
a particular place carries with it the main characteristic of the land to which
it belong to. Water of different place
has different effects on our mind and body.
That is the reason we were advised in the olden days to go to different
places and take bath or drink the water of that place which cured many mental
as well as physical diseases.
Every water
of every soil, say alluvial, red sand, clay, brown marshy land has its own good
and bad qualities. In our puranas and
ithihasas(epic) we would have read what happens to new entrants to a fresh body
of water of another place. In many place
they contract new disease, discomfort body pain exertion or even get fever. In
many cases they lose eye sight, become paralytic or get rashes throughout body
or cured of a disease or even a deformity,
get enlightened suddenly. All
these are due to the specific nature of the body of water due to presence of varied mater or energies
in that particular water. Thus the water
of a place has many good and bad qualities.
Knowing the
character of particular water, the saints of the olden days and temple priest,
astrologers advised their clients to go to different places and take a dip or
drink the water for a specific period during selected part of a year.

In this
manner we will study some type of water latter on this subject.
In the
present day of life style, we live in multistoried buildings and gated
cities. Water supplied to the residents
are brought from different locations by lorries after collecting the same in a tanker. It is a mixer of, tank, lake, and deep well
water. In many cases the lake water gets
depleted and the stagnant water is supplied.
Where a lake
gets a regular inflow from a river it is okay, if not this will have its negative energies. Thus the mixed water does not have any
specific good nature.
The goodness
of natural water gets lost in this process and we do not know what type of water
we are getting. The stagnant water in the sump of
multistoried buildings, for that matter, all stored water never see the
sunlight which gives life to water.
Added to this all types of contamination are brought with the
lorries.
Thus we live
in a system where chemical water is supplied to us instead of natural
water. To what extent it is potable we
do not know. The water we get now is man
modified and not natural water.
The
underground water we pump may be from
underground river, which is okay, or from from a rock catchment, in which case
it carries with it all the chemical in the rock. If the water comes from a sand catchment well
and good. In any case we get a mixer of all types o water including
water with full negative energy.
To conclude
we may say we use only artificially
modified water rather than real natural water.
