RELIGIOUS RITES<br />
Those, who do not wear a Kanthi around<br />
their neck, are prone to evil thinking, or they are<br />
sinful persons. Therefore at the displeasure and<br />
anger of <strong>Shree</strong> Hari, they will descend to hell as a<br />
punishment. One who does not wear Kanthi<br />
around his neck, in par to a beast or animal. Therefore<br />
his daily food is only comparable to meat or<br />
flesh, and also the water he drinks would be<br />
equivalent to taking intoxicating spirits or drinks.<br />
