IMPACT OF CLOTHING ON BODY & MIND

Our heritage i.e. age-old refined culture and civilization is not at all so bankrupt or polluted that we shall throw it out and run after imitating everything that is western or English culture.

Western culture has so many virtues which we must follow, but not to imitate their ways of life which are harmful to us. Here we shall discuss about the new  fashion of tight fit jeans or trousers and miniskirts with short tight tops  exhibiting parts of our body.

Most of the western and northern countries are extremely cold. They never see the bright sun or experience the scorching summer hit except very few days in a year. So they require tight and warm coverings from top to toe day and night throughout the year.

On the other hand, our climate is extreme. We experience thick cold only for two months a year from 15th November to 15th January. In all other months we need loose cotton clothing. Warm and tight fit dress as we see our children and youth wearing throughout the year. This sort of monkey-like blindly imitating western style is contrary to our health. The parents and guardians must feel it and save their children from this suffering various physical complains of skin and spinal cord, elbow, west etc due to this type of clothing.

Tight fit clothing is also equally harmful for our young ones. Apart from physical problems, tight-fit and scanty covering of breast, thigh, hips and genital portion is very harmful so far as our erotic impulse is concerned.

Developed breast, thigh, hips and genital portion of both male and female at once excite libidinous lust and this is natural in hot climate like ours. Therefore our forefathers prescribed strict vigilance during Brahmacharya or student life from 12 to 24 age period and then Banaprastha after fifty.

Again, a girl or young lady wearing mini skirt and small tops showing body parts, comes in the evil look of others. People think about her in a negative way and treat her accordingly. Everybody thinks that she is not a good girl and a very chief girl. As a result that girl faces both mental and physical harassment. Hence, it is the duty of the parents, guardians and also of the teens and youth to wear proper clothing.
