During their rule over Bharat, the British made sure that their culture gets entrenched in this land As a result, Hindus gave up their traditional attire such as the dhott (A rectangular piece of unstitched cloth, usually around 4-5 metres long, wrapped around the waist and the legs and knotted at the waist by Hindus) and kurta, and accepted western attires such as pant and shirt, coat and tie without a second thought. What lead to the cultural down- fall of Hindus ? The reason is, that Hindus lost pride in their own culture, as they forgot the importance of their own culture. Dis- regard for the culture has its origin in the absence of education on Dharma (Righteousness). It is for this very reason, that this Holy text narrates the importance of traditional attire of Hindus from the spiritual perspective.
Hindu culture is enriched with Chaitanya (Divine conscious- ness). After studying various attires at the gross as well as the subtle levels, that is, by taking into consideration the spiritual perspective, Hindu Dharma has given importance to attires such as sovale-uparanë, dhoti-kurtă. Instead of just thinking superficially about good looks and ease of wearing clothes, comprehensive and indepth thought has been made by Hindu culture such as enhancing sättviktā (Purity) of the wearer, protection from negative energies, ability to imbibe Chaitanya and whether it aids in the efforts for God-realisation. Conversely, western culture is Raja- Tama (See Glossary) predominant, and hence, attires such as jeans and T-shirt, coat and tie, pant and shirt generate distressing vibra- tions and invite attacks of negative energies.
The spiritual harm caused by western attires and spiritual benefits of Hindu attires are clear from the explanations provided in this Holy text as well as through subtle-analysis performed by the seekers, subtle-pictures drawn by them and their spiritual experiences. Another unique feature of this Holy text is the inclusion of various experiments on attires conducted by using modern scientific equipment.
