Take-off your Shirt

We Often see a board hanging over at every corners of famous temples,

"Please Remove your shirts"

Instantly our mind pop-up a question "Why??.  God wont listen to person with shirt?" And the pop-up goes unanswered!! So what might be the reason behind!!!.

Its purely a concept of dressing sense, which has now become an answer-less tradition.
Think, What will be your dress code when you get a chance to meet your company CEO!! Will you go with a torn jeans or with a business formal??. "Nothing is just taken for granted".

Same applies when you are visiting temples. In our tradition, the meaning of well dressed is "Not to wear a dress which is Torn, or cut-join, stitched. because it symbolizes indecency". Since our shirts and pants are cut-joined pieces, wearing it is prohibited in front Supreme God. That's why usage of Non stitched Dhoti (Panche) is preferred in Hinduism. Seriously, Removing shirt and holding same shirt and going in-front of god doesn't make sense. Does it???? But Time and situation made us to do so!!

It's not the question of God's acceptance, it's matter of decency. and spiritually decency in dressing is this. It is possible only if you get a feel as if you are personally meeting someone special (not just a piece of stone).

 

I have done my job of sharing what I knew. Its completely left to you to implement. I have lot to talk about this, but getting a feel that this is not the right platform to raise my voice.

Thanks for reading..:-)
