Achamanam: Rules to Follow!
Achamanam means consuming water before eating. This purifies the mind and body. Water should be taken with a spoon in the left hand. The right hand's palm should be held in a 'Gokarnakriti' (cow's ear shape) and the water should be consumed without making a sound. During this time, the water should not touch the mustache or beard. This process should be performed with the names of Keshava, Narayana, and Madhava. Through this, the five senses are purified. Scriptures say that Achamanam increases concentration and sattvic energy.
