Waterless Bath
Many of us think that we need water for bathing. The answer is both
Yes and No. When 99% of society believes that we can take bath only with
water, and if someone says, we can still take bath even without water, the
teller is either viewed as saint or a big fool.
We all know but often forget that our body is made of 5 basic
elements, viz, Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. It is un-believable that we
can take bath with all these 5 elements separately. The only factor that
makes us believe is that WATER BATH being more popular, it is hard to
believe that we can take bath with other four elements also.
Those who are familiar with Ayurvedic procedures of Pancha-karma
know this virtual secret. There is mud, water, fire-bath, air-bath and also
ether bath each has its own significance. Bath can not be taken with fire but
Sun is considered as source of fire and bath under sun may be taken as fire
bath. Sun-bath is advisable before 8 am and after 4 pm. Please refer to solar
bath in the web-site www.solarhealing.com/. There is also colored- light
bath which is mostly used in curing some skin-diseases. Night time we use
electric fan during sleep may be considered as Air-bath. A meditator invokes
cosmic energy from ether and hence meditation is ether bath.
Anybody is free to avail one or more varieties of above cited baths as
per his sadhana. Drenching in rain water while sun shines is called Brahma-
snana as per sastra. There is a section in society who takes bath in one-spoon
of water (apo hishto mayo bhava………) after main bath. There are certain
meditators who take ‘mental bath’ with milk, with flowers, with chandana
water etc.
