Throwing Coins in Water
Ever since the childhood we all have being seeing and also taught to throw a coin and to immerse the holy ashes of any”HAVAN” in the river or a water stream. This culture has been followed from the ancient times and still is being carried forwarded. However very few of us knows the science behind these acts.
Let’s look into them one by one. Throwing of coins into times and water stream In the ancient times majority of the civilizations settled near a water source as it is one of the main components for the survival of humans. This is the reason why in all the ancient texts rivers are co sidered to be as mothers as they used to help a civilization sustain food. After the discovery of the use of copper the civilizations started using the same for making their uteinsell and currency.
However apart from this our sages also discovered the benifit of copper in the human body and it’s anti bacterial properties. Since in those periods copper was not found in enough quantity in foods sages invented the other source which so far has been helping the civilization to prosper – Water. So they started immersing the copper in rivers so that the water absorbs the copper and in turn harmful bacteria gets eliminated and humans also get enough copper while in taking the water. This is also one of the reasons why brass utensils were used as they too contain copper and water stored in them or food cooked in such utensils absorb copper.
However now days we do get copper through many sources but the practice is still followed as some of the great practices if our cultures cannot be discontinued. Instead of throwing coins (now days which does not contain copper) it’s better we get small copper pieces and use then and play our part in keeping the environment clean.
Immersing holy ashes in water We all know charcoal is a good form of cleaning the water of harmfull bacteria. The woods we burn during “Havans” performed at home or temple also contain charcoal as it is one of the impure forms of charcoal. Wood ash has been used for centuries to filter water and make it clean. This too was known to our forefathers and that is the reason why the holy ashes has been immersed in the water from the ancient times. Now days people immerse almost every thing even piece of paper and the polythene which is used to keep the materials to be used in Havan.
