It is a very important part of meditation and sadhna.  Mundan, as they call it, is the ritual of shaving the head post the death of an elderly member in the family. ... It is believed that shaving off the hair helps men to let go of their ego.

Just adding dates to your everyday diet increases the fibre intake for your body. The high amount of fibre in dates is beneficial to the digestive system and also prevents constipation. Benefits of eating dates also include blood sugar control as fibre slows down the digestion process and prevents blood levels from spiking. This means the calories from a single date are enough to keep your health in excellent condition. Dates are a natural source of fructose, a natural sugar found in fruits. This gives them a naturally sweet and caramel-like taste—which is another health benefit of the date, making it an excellent substitute for white sugar. You can use a paste made from dates in recipes to replace white sugar. ======================= *Regards*  *CH Nαʋҽҽɳ Kυɱαɾ..*.* ✒️ ÷÷÷÷÷÷ *Samapath*÷÷÷÷÷÷÷  *🙏 *PLZ SHARE IT*
