When we visit different temples at different places, we find different procedures are followed at that temple premises which make us pleased to follow and perform those rituals.

When we go to subrahmanya swamy temple, we find rock salt is being placed at back of “dwajastamb”, long pillar coated with copper and brass, embedded with different god symbols.

Reason:

Salt belongs to ocean god, Lord Vishnu lives in ocean. When lord Kumara swamy is stuck with marriage proposals, goddess Parvathi askes suggestion to Vishnu, Lord closes his eyes by seeing Kuramara swamy. He finds beautiful ladies “Valli Devasyena”, here Lord Vishnu is projected to assume father-in-law and performed marriage of lord Kumara swamy. 

Devotees who are stuck with marriage proposals or have marriage problems should put rock salt in a pot placed behind dwajastamba. They will be blessed with immediate marriage with best partner.

Also we need to take ash powder and place tilak on our forehead.

By chanting Subrahmanya mantras, we need to do pradakshina around the temple.

Only then after we need to see Goddess Valli and Devasyena.

People who are suffering with Kuja graha dosha must visit Subrahmanya swamy.

Also whoever goes to ‘kavadi utsav’ performed in temple premises and be part of it, will be blessed with courage, victory and health.

 *Saindha Namak (Rock Salt) v/s Normal  Salt (Samudri Namak)* 

*Summary* - Switch to Saindha Namak / Rock Salt in all your meals. 

*Saindha Namak* is obtained from rocks (of salt), mostly from Himalayan range mountains in Pakistan, therefore called *Rock Salt* too. Whereas origin of *normal salt* is *sea water* (residue after evaporation) therefore called *Sea Salt* (Samudri Namak) too.  

Both r different in characteristics though both r chemically NaCl. 

Rock salt is *pure*, without impurities, so it can be consumed directly without any processing/cleansing whereas normal salt is full of impurities from sea thus it is cleaned by chemical process  before consumption.

Rock salt absorbs water Easily so it gets dissolved in body naturally  (no need of digestion) whereas sea salt takes time to absorb water thus goes through digestion process in body. 

Rock salt hydrates body as it quickly absorbs water whereas sea salt dehydrates body as it takes time in absorbing water.  

Sea salt is *acidic* in nature bcoz of sea impurities & chemical processing thus tends to create acidity whereas rock salt is *alkaline* in nature and free from impurities, it removes acidity from body. 

Rock salt detoxifies body whereas sea salt toxify body if taken in excess.

 All processed foods dehydrate and toxify as they use excess quantity of sea salt and other chemicals to make food tasty and addictive. More the addiction, more u enjoy junk food. Just look at kid’s food habits bcoz of this addiction.
