Wearings earrings by men

While going through the posts I found so many interesting information. I felt it as fashion statement that has gained popularity among youths in recent times.In fact for quite long, I associated it with modern hippie culture as most of the Western music stars and Rockstars had pierced ears with rings.

Though I saw a lot of older people also having pierced ears in various parts of India, I never gave a deep thought about it.

I am surprised to know it's cultural roots and also it's significance

Ear lobe piercing is known as Karnvedh Sanskat, considered as an important ceremony in many Hindu traditions. It is usually performed during Sixth month or Seventh month. Ear piercing is done for both male and female child.

True Anil.. Though the ear lobe piercing can be done during the years of a child, 1,3,5 or 7, it is good   ear lobe piercing is performed  at the age of 3. Because the child suffers  less pain  and forgets the pain quickly..

Normally here at my place ear piercing is done for both girls and boys when they are a few months old since they don't feel the pain souch . The ear lobe is very tender and able to heal quickly..

Yes. last month my grand daughter got her ear lobes pierced at the age of 4. Within days  she was healed.

recently while browsing google, I came across some articles which indicated that many other religions also had culture of wearing earrings. Evidence shows that ancient Persians and Egyptians use to wear earrings. Even William Shakespeare has shown to wear earrings in one of the picture.. I m not sure why these ancients cultures use to wear earrings, I guess there would be some valid reason.

Ear piercing custom is more than 5000 years old since mummies were found with earrings on their ears. Romans thought it was a status symbol to adorn their ears with previous stones  and we read about ear piercing  and earrings with reference to Karma in Mahabharat which is the most ancient epic .

Kana Vedha or ear piercing. is a Hindu tradition extensively practiced in India. It is an important event in every Hindu family

I think this is a sheer personal style and fashion. I don't understand how an earring can make you calm. Calmness depends on your attitude. However, this is more a psychological issue. If somebody has faith in supernatural things and gems, he may be mentally satisfied with such things. 

Every practice has some belief or custom attached to the which becomes relevant for believers. Belief can be on anything ranging from science to traditions to religious beliefs . 

It is the belief that matters.

Some believe, there wont be peace of mind ,unless he reads a a page in Bhagavad Gita.

A scientist believes that there is an earth like Planet in the universe

CM , Yogi Adtyanath believes in waiting for an auspicious moment before starting a   work.. Yogi Asotyanath waits for an auspicious moment before stepping in to his official residence in Lucknow

I read in local News paper

Exactly. If you are in a position to do any work do now. If anybody says that he will try , it says about that that person doesn't have confidence on himself.

Moderators shd close this thread since it is just another topic which has gone astray because of rambabu who makes senseless posts all the time ..
