Importance Of Ear Piercing Of Girls According To Hindu Mythology

Ear Piercing or Karna Vedha is an ancient ceremony performed on both male and female in many countries.
This is seen across cultures in almost all continents where human civilization inhabited.

In India, this is called as Karna(ear) Vedha(piercing) and is one of the Shodasha Samskaras (16 ceremonies) performed on a human between birth and death.
Common between male and females, it is intended to open the inner ears of the child for receiving sacred sounds. This rite has deep mystical and symbolic significance. It is believed that merely hearing sacred sounds has merit in that it cleanses sin and nurtures the spirit.

In China, this Acupuncture and Acupressure is done at a particular point on ear and it is believed to cure or prevent asthma.

Behind the ear lobe there is a natural, small microscopic depression which contains nerve endings linked with diseases like bronchial asthma, cough and tuberculosis.
Chinese science of acupuncture states that the root cause of some diseases lies in the subtle regions of every organ in the body.

When that area is punctured, the related disease is eliminated. Study of this science was done and recorded in the Vedas much earlier and the sanskar of piercing the ear lobes was already implemented on both genders of kids.

The metal (like gold or copper) earrings are believed to help in maintaining the flow of electric current in a human body. It is also believed that ear piercing helps in maintaining the regularity in the menstrual cycle of a girl.

This part of the ear is the intuitive, Third Eye, or psychic point. It is very important that only gold, and not silver, be worn here on the ear lobe. Gold, combined with an amethyst or emerald (which are both traditionally regarded as very spiritual stones), will have an added positive effect on the function of intuition.
