In Hinduism, the relationship of husband and wife is considered very sacred. But despite this, in many traditions it is believed that husband and wife should not eat food in the same plate. There are not only etiquette behind this, but religious reasons to deep spiritual and energy balance. This tradition is not a discrimination, but a religious discipline towards maintaining energy balance, dignity and mental purity.
Religious reason
According to ancient scriptures, food is considered as a yajna. Every person’s own ‘livelihood energy’ is activated while eating. If two people, especially husband and wife, eat food from the same plate, then their energy can hit each other, which can affect mental balance and spiritual peace.
Dignity of household religion
In the scriptures, it is said that it is necessary to maintain respect, restraint and boundaries towards each other in household religion. Discipline can be reduced from food in the same plate.
Mental and emotional variation
Every person’s mood and thought flow is different. While eating food, it is believed that a person’s thoughts and feelings can move in food. This mixture can sometimes cause stress, disagreement and discord when you eat from the same plate.
Acharya tradition
In olden times, Guru-disciple, mother-son, or husband and wife-every relationship had its dignity. The rule of not having food in the same plate was a symbol of respecting those limits.
