The human body has been referred to as tungabhadra. Tunga means infinite and bhadra means auspiciousness. Thus, it means that the body is an infinite reservoir of auspiciousness. Everyone must therefore carefully introspect to check whether this sacred gift called the body is being properly used or is misused and mishandled. It was sage Narada who after deep enquiry gave this name tungabhadra to the human body. We have to make every effort to understand the sanctity of the human body, use it for noble and sacred actions, and derive Bliss therefrom. Human life should not be looked at from just a worldly, material, and physical perspective. Through intense enquiry, sages of yore have unravelled the deeper significance of human existence. Man today faces misery because he does not make proper use of his body and does not live his life as it ought to be, that is to say, in the service of humanity. It is only when one becomes concerned with society one will begin to understand why the human body is called tungabhadra.
