Right : Why use right hand?

Right handedness. 

   Usually in Indian culture we pay attention to use right hand while giving and receiving  anything from others.

Human evolved from lower animals when started using hands. It is the usage of hands that speeded up the evolution by stimulating the growth of brain. Hands and brain are so interconnected. children should be allowed to use hands a lot while growing up to be smart.

The Human brain is divided into two parts the Right Brain and  Left Brain. The left side of our body is "wired" to the right side of our brain, and vice versa. For whatever reason nature did this cross-over, it applies even to our eyes, which process a majority of their sensory data on opposite sides of the brain.

ustrate the characteristics which are known to reside on each side of our brains.

The right hand usage stimulates more neuronal activity in the left brain  and left hand stimulates more neuronal activity in the right  brain.  The reason is that all our action should be done with logics. However, when doing all rituals the hand right along with left hand is used denoting the co-ordination of the two hands. Actions  done with no emotional involvement will not be complete and be boring. Doing actions with no logic but out of excitement do not give the desired results and often results in more suffering.  Bottom line is that  the logical reasoning (analysis) along with the emotional involvement alone brings success in all our actions.

Why do we hold ear lobes and squat down to the ground before Ganesha?

 When we did mischief , especially at school, the Indian teachers gave a small punishment. This is in Tamil is called "Thoppu Karanam". Now Brain studies shows this punishing act infact improves brain function for both young and adults.
