For Brahmins,
Janai has much importance in their life. A Janai represents maturity as it is
handed to the men during their Bratabandha, which is a unique event that
indicates the end of boyhood. A boy who hasn’t performed Bratabandha does not
wear Janai.
Brahmins, who
wear Janai all year long across their body, do not consume meat products. A day
before Janai Purnima, they fast partially as they avoid meat, garlic, and
onions in their meal.
A special ritual is
performed while celebrating Janai Purnima. Usually, a man who has performed
bratabandha is eligible to wear Janai. It means he is capable of understanding
the religious significance of Janai and performing Yagya and puja.
Then, on the
Janai Purnima, Brahmin men take a bath early in the morning and prepare for a
ritual to change the Janai. They usually visit nearby Hindu temples where a
priest utters mantras and rituals to wear new Janai.
Thousands of
Hindu pilgrimage visit the holy lake called Gosainkunda, which is
believed to be the resting place of Lord Shiva. Gosainkunda is a massive
lake located at an altitude of 4,380m inside the Langtang National
Park.
The pilgrims take holy
dips in the lake to cleanse their bodies and soul. The holy dip is also said to
remove sins. After taking the holy bath, the men remove their old Janai and
replace it with the new one.
About Janai
A Janai consists
of three to six cotton threads, and each thread has a meaning to it. The two
ends of the threads are tied into a knot to form a circle, during which, the
priest spells mantras dedicated to various gods.
It is then
placed diagonally across the left shoulder to the right waist. Those six
threads of Janai have this unique symbolism according to Hindu myths.
Three of the strains
symbolize Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwar. And, the other three strains symbolize
knowledge, worship, and karma.
Well, this so-called sacred, lightweight, handmade cotton thread holds deeper religious significance to the Nepalese. Janai represents purity and safety.
