This article is on one of the practices widelyused by IndianBrahmins all over using a Holy Grass named Dharbham or Dharbai.
In all functions, auspicious or inauspicious, a performingperson needsto wear a ring made of this Dharbham. But many have lost the reasonofwhy it is to be used in the first place.
What I learnt from my father is proved to be accuratelycorrect by a MedicinePractitioner.
A Doctor named Sadhashiv Rao, once visited my home. When thetopic turnedto many subjects, I needed to tell him about the Holy Grass named
Dharbham. When I told him about the usage and the values, hecould notjust believe my words.
So, he took out a bunch of the Dharbham from me, wentstraight to the clinicto take an x-ray of his palm, by covering his hand withthe Dharbham. Tohis utter surprise, he found that the grass absorbed about 60%of the radiation!
When the so powerful X-ray radiation can be absorbed by theHoly Grass,
why can it not absorb the ill radiations spread over the atmosphere?
While chanting and reciting some Vedic phrases and verses,one needs towear a ring made of Dharbham
on his right hand ring finger.
The count of leaves depends upon the ceremony that is heldviz.:
for some ceremonies related to death
only Single leafed Dharbham is used;
for Auspicious and daily routine
a ring made of two leaves is used;
for inauspicious but not death related functions, (i.e.Amavasya Tharppanam,Pithru Pooja etc)
a three leaf Dharbham ring is used.
And for the Temple Prayer and Pooja,
a Four-leaf Dharbham ring is used.
Also, when a fire ritual known as Agni Santana is performed,these Dharbhamare spread all the four sides of the Agni Kundam.
Also, during the Eclipse time,
these Dharbham are used to cover all food items to protectthem
from the harmful ultra violet radiation.
Whenever any function is held,
firstly they perform a site-cleansing act known as “SudhhiPunyaahavachanam”.
While reciting the selective verses,
they hold the Dharbham bunch in their hand and placing thetip point ofit over the vessel containing water.
Thus the recited vibration values are absorbed by water inthe vessel throughthe Dharbham.
They found that the Holy Grass known as Dharbham has thehighest valuein conducting the phonetic vibrations through its tip.
Later, they sprinkle the Holy water at everynook and cornerof the place,
where the ceremony or function is held.
A Dharbham without the tip is considered of no value, as the
conductor-type value is lost in it.
My father, Late Shri Ramabathrachariar of Mukkur,
fondly called by everyone as Sriraman, has given me theimmense valuesof Dharbham and its usage.
With Sanskrit phonetic sound and vibration, using theDharbham increasesits value.
The usage varies according to the functions. It is really amarvel, that
in those days of Vedic Era, the Sages & Saints of Hinduland used tocontrol
the Magnetic path disturbances,
just by simply using this Dharbham!
Apart from the above, Dharbham cannot be planted and growneverywhere.
It only grows naturally at selective places and availablealmost in every
state in India.
Some learned scholars name it after SaintVishwaamitra -hence Dharbham is known and called as Vishwaamitra.
If it is kept for a longer time, say for more than sixmonths, then itloses it value and the power of absorbing the radiation ormagnetic pathcontrol values.
Dharbham cannot just be plucked straight or cut on any day;
There is a specific Slokha that is to be recited beforecutting it;
That too it can be cut only on the day next to Full Moon -known as KrishnaPaksha Pradamai.
A Dharbham without its tip portion is not to be used formaking a Ringlike item known as "Pavithram".
