Significance of Body purification
Body purification has dual significance in Vaishnavism and science. In Vaishnavism, it involves cleansing the physical and spiritual essence through devotion and personal services. In contrast, scientific understanding, particularly in Ayurveda, emphasizes detoxifying the body to enhance the effectiveness of subsequent therapies. It also includes traditional methods aimed at cleansing and preparing the body for conception. Thus, body purification serves both spiritual and health-related purposes in these contexts.
