Synopsis
What is the significance of the cast-mark called Tilak, marked with a typical red-coloured powder with bits of rice sprinkled on it? Why the monosyllable sound 'OM' or 'AUM' is accorded so much importance? Why the figures 11, 21, 51, 101 etc. are chosen while giving some monetary gift to anyone in India? What is the reason behind adding one to the round figure while making a donation or gifting some rupees as a gift to someone, particularly on auspicious occasion? Do we celebrate Divali to commemorate Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya or it has a more fundamental reason concerning human nature behind it? Why do we celebrate Dussera and Why it is also called Vijayadashmi? What is a difference between a Vrata or Upavaas? Why the Sleeping posture having the feet pointing due south is prohibited? Why is so much importance laid on tallying the horoscope of the boy and girl before their marriage in the traditional India families? What is the real meaning of performing Pooja? Does Pooja mean only saying your prayers? What is the origin of the commonly used honorific suffix ‘Ji’? Why India was known as “Bharat Varsha� there are many such questions which must have been troubling an awakened Indian’s mind. It is for the first time that they have been answered logically and scientifically in this unique book of its kind!
