Wearing a >piece of cloth wrapped around the waist makes it easy to squat on the ground and not let it all hang out. BTW Smritis indicate where one should not urinate.

I noticed in scanning through the Manu smirti and other vedic literature, this concept of squatting for promoting brahmaharya. Also I saw a reference to not bathing nude. Now the reason that was kind of interesting was that when i was in India, I happened to be looking for the guys who were heating our tubs of water and accidently came across one of the guys in an outdoor shower. Sure enough he was wrapped around the middle in a white cloth while actively bathing.

Many yogis and Indians in general squat to poop, rather than sitting. Never heard of squatting to pee. If it's for Brahmacharya, maybe it's so you don't have to touch yourself. The book "Brahmacharya for Boys and Girls," which most good Purusha read at some point, also advises against riding bicycles (too stimulating in that area) and against looking at yourself in the shower. Maybe someone should market an opaque plastic tutu for aspiring celibates.

You can't miss. Sorry to disagree Rick, but my 9 year old son proves that to be a false assumption! I believe the information is in Manu Smirti. Any Manu Smirti experts out there?

You can't miss. There are definitely urinals in India, so I'm dubious about the squat to pee claim about men in that country http://www.tribuneindia.com/2005/20050114/science.htm#2 http://urinal.net/bazaar_delhi/ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
