Over charity leave you in Bad or Evil

(పుణ్యానికి పోతే పాపం ఎదురైందని ఎందుకంటారు)

This saying dates back to the Mahabaratham epic. Udhanka the disciple of Paila as tuytional to his teacher, as a desire from his teacher goes to the great king Poushya and asks for the kings' ear rings (కర్ణాభరణాలు). The king agrees for giving his ear rings and thinks of offering hosting to Udhanka who is more over a Brahmin. So he asks Udhanka to have a meal and prepares a good meal ready. 

While Udhanka proceeds to have his meal, he finds a hair in the meal and Udhanka frowningly curses the great king Poushya to turn blind. Cursed king Poushya turns angry as he who offered meals for Udhantha with charity as he has leaved a saint life so far, curses back Udhantha again. However both realizes and feels for their act.

As Poushya who just out of charity offered meal to Udhanka is left to face the bad thus the saying has evolved that going for charity has left him / her with evil or bad in this case a curse.

Jaimini Quote

జైమిని సూక్తి

నశ్వరమగు నీ శరీరమును నమ్మవలదు 

Never believe in your perishable body.

Why do people wash their legs before entering into temples?

Have you ever thought why should we wash our legs before entering a temple even though we just had bath fresh at home?


We wear sandals after bath while going to temple. So, leave footwear before entering into temple and wash legs cleanly and completely. Gargle with water and spit out. Thus you enter temple with your complete body clean.
Thus you pray god with clean body,
