[sv-rituals] Before eating....

From the Bhakti List Archives

krishnasusarla • June 9, 2002 


My grandparents often had a custom of sprinkling water around the 
plate before beginning a meal. Then they would take small helpings 
of the rice before beginning to eat in earnest. 

Can someone explain the significance of this custom, who is 
eligible/required to perform it, and how exactly it is to be 
performed? Also, is it to be performed before any meal, or just some?

thanks in advance,
