ELEVEN

There are eleven Indriyaan (senses) in our body - five Gyaan Indriyaan, five Karm Indriyaan and one Man or Hridaya (Heart) governing all of them.

Gyaan Indriyaan gives us knowledge - eyes by seeing, ears by hearing, skin by touching, nose by smelling, and tongue by tasting.

Karm Indriyaan are for doing daily duties of our life - hands to donate something to somebody, feet to go to Bhagavaan's Darshan, tongue to sing Bhagavaan's songs, anus to excrete solid wastage, procreation organs,

Above all is Man or mind which controls all these Indriyaan. If Man wants, it can control the action of all these ten Indriyaan. That is why it is said that "If you have control on your Man, you have control on your body."


Many people keep fast on Ekaadashee (11th day of every fortnight). It reminds one to control one's eleven Indriyaan.
