When we explore our ancient text, it is very clearly stated that ear piercing at an early stage has significant effects on eyes. This practices is popularly known as Karnavedha. According to ancient spiritual people, a person’s ear is the key element to measure this spiritual quotient, intelligence and brainpower, no wonder why buddha has large ears. They would have probably made this comment because of their exceptional knowledge on planetary effects on human body. An expert Astrologer also would agree, that Ragu in a malefic position will make the person miser and that person would have a smaller ear contradicting to this is larger ear means spiritual in nature.

Our siddhas or spiritual scientists were by default experts in human anatomy and documented it in “Samuthirga lakshana”. They were able to see certain points in body could enhance the health of body, mind and soul. One of the prominent Siddha by name Thirumoolar mentioned that, there is 72000 nadis (can be equated to nerves in modern medical system) in human body. Out of this, he classified 10 most important nadis as dasa nadi. Athithi and Alampudai represents nerve of right and left ears. Which influence in triggering intellect, power of thinking and decision making capabilities. Talkativeness fritters away life energy. Ear piercing helps in speech-restraint. It helps to reduce impertinent behaviour and the ear-channels become free from disorders, apart from the big package, it plays a major role in immunity, better eyesight and alertness. That’s the reason sailors who visited india would pierce their ears to improve the eyesight.   It is strongly believed that Indian Siddha’s anatomical knowledge reached china and later evolved into acupressure and acupuncture. Today, it is one of the known and proven alternative medical practice for various chronic illness.

As always, our forefathers prescribed this practice for medical and spiritual reasons. Over period of time, this was integrated in various religion as one of the sixteen samskaras. Now, it has taken as a fashion statement.
