'Indian Customs' Vs 'Scientific Reason' - 1
in The Lounge
Hai Friends,

I have something thats interesting here.


Our Indian Customs are very interesting and have a great scientific reason too behind them....

Here we would discuss one issue daily...


Custom: While crossing a river, we throw coins into the river. It is told that we would get more money in return from the Goddess Laxmi.

Question: What is the scientific reason behind this???

Have fun :lol:
Thanks 'n' Regards,
Deepti.

    The only benefit of throwing cash in river is that the currency in circulation will decrease and prices will be controlled. It will be better if people throw Rs. 1000/- currency notes in any river.

    There is a scientific reason too involved in throwing "Coins" (not the notes) in the river.....

    Yes -- sure Kalyani..

    In the olden days,we used to have copper coins (Annas), now replaced with the stainless steel coins.



    As drinking water with copper metal is good for health, our old fore-fathers made it a custom... that it gives good luck, we get money in return...

    Hope you have understood :)
    Thanks 'n' Regards,

    I agree Chinmoy. The currency is for transactions and not for throwing in rivers.

    :) YES... thats true....

    As we used to have copper coins in the olden days, the custom was successful... But now, we do not have those copper coins, and still the custom is prevailing!!!!
