Sewing Clothes and Effect of Stitching
An average individual should wear *sattvik* clothes so that he can
imbibe *Chaitanya* (Divine consciousness) from them. This article is about
sewing cloths and effect of stitches on clothes. It also explains the
benefit of wearing clothes made of uncut cloth and with minimal stitching
1. The appropriate practice of wearing knotted clothes prevalent in the
earlier times
In the earlier times, men and women used to wear clothes that had
to be knotted to be able to wear them. Women used to wear a nine-yard
*sari* and
a blouse with a knot. Through the knot, *sattvik* waves would get bound in
the respective areas in the cloth and would work for the individual as per
the requirement. Similarly, men used to wear *dhoti* which could be held by
a knot or *barabandi* or *bandi*. Though the design of *bandi* does not
have knots, it has multiple knots in the form of laces which serve to store
the *sattvik* waves and impart the benefit to the individual as per the
requirement.
2. Why should clothes have minimum of stitching ?A. Holes pierced during
the stitching process increasesthe possibility of Raja-Tama waves entering
the cloth through them
Clothes are stitched by piercing tiny holes in them along the
required line and weaving a thread through them, creating the stitch. These
piercings attract *Raja-Tama* waves from the atmosphere. Knotted clothes
are free from buttons and have minimal stitching. Hence, there is less
possibility of *Raja-Tama* waves rushing into clothes through the piercings
created due to stitching.
B. An individual who wears an unstitched clothreceives *Chaitanya* and
undergoes spiritual healing to a larger extent
Since every thread in an uncut cloth remains intact, it is able to
spread waves of *Chaitanya* all over the cloth. Therefore, when an
individual wears an uncut cloth, the *Chaitanya* spreads in its body and it
undergoes spiritual healing. For example, when a *sari* is worn, the extent
of spiritual healing is more. When a cloth is cut, the continuity of the
threads in it is destroyed. This creates obstacles in the flow of waves of
*Chaitanya* through them, and thus, the spread of *Chaitanya* throughout
the cloth is obstructed. Hence, wearing a stitched garment imparts less
*Chaitanya* and the extent of spiritual healing is also less, for example,
a *churidar*.
C. Stitching of a cloth should not be complex, for example, it should not
have too many pleats.3. Detrimental effect of stitching or sewing clothes
on a machine and its remediesA. Likelihood of developing centres of black
energy is lessin hand-stitched clothes, when compared with machine-stitched
clothes
In the earlier days, since stitching was done by hand, minimal
blows were imparted to the cloth through the medium of touch. Therefore,
the extent of *Raja-Tama* waves accumulating in the piercings was also
less. Now, however, sewing machines are used extensively for sewing
clothes. They have a distressing sound generating process, on the rhythm of
which the needle strikes the cloth, piercing the cloth and leading to a
collection of *Raja-Tama* waves in the piercings. These piercings thereby
get completely filled and become conducive to the formation of centres of
concentrated black energy. In short, greater the impact-oriented stitches
made by the sewing machine on the clothes, greater is the proportion of
distressing waves emitted by the clothes.
B. In the earlier days, because of the chanting that accompanied the
productionof thread on a *charkha* (Spinning wheel), the clothes made from
the thread were *sattvik*
In the earlier days, thread was made by manually spinning cotton on a
*charkha*. If this thread was spun by a seeker while chanting God’s Name,
the thread would also get charged with the Name. It helped in making the
cloth *sattvik*.
C. Modern machinery activates *Raja-Tama*-predominant centres in the human
body
Most machines in today’s times work on electricity. These machines
activate *Raja-Tama*-predominant centres in the human body to a large
extent and are thus responsible for large scale pollution of the atmosphere.
D. In *Kaliyug*, it is very important to chant God’s Nameto overcome the
dangers of a mechanised lifestyle brought about by science
In *Kaliyug *(Era of strife), man is facing extreme brunt of the
rage of negative energies, since every activity is taking place
mechanically and from a scientific perspective. It is very difficult to go
back and implement the previous *sattvik* lifestyle in the society today;
to be able to move on in life through the difficult times, *sadhana* (Spiritual
practice) of chanting God’s Name is advised in *Kaliyug*. As a result, even
though the mechanically performed *karmas*, *akarma* will be attained and
the *Raja-Tama*-predominant waves generated from them will disintegrate,
and *karmas* will impart merits.
As mentioned in point B above, chanting while spinning the wheel,
helps in making the clothes *sattvik*. Here, since the use of a machine is
to a limited extent, the black energy generated is less. However,
considering the large scale generation of black energy due to modern day
electrically-driven machines, we have to chant God’s Name in a greater
proportion and with a lot of concentration, so that the effect of black
energy is minimized.
