Spiritual cleansing is as important as physical cleansing. Spiritual bathing is a time honoured tradition that is passed down from generation to generation in vedic tradition.
Different sorts of herbs and special ingredients are used to prepare different sorts of bath.
For example to achieve success or to remove negativity from life complete different herbs are used for both purposes. This is done by applying paste to body and herbal water bath. This bath is synergised with chanting of mantra, so that sound energies of mantra transformed to physiology along with herbal effect lead to spiritual purification and provide peace to soul.
