<!--QuoteBegin-Sunder+Mar 2 2005, 12:35 AM-->QUOTE(Sunder @ Mar 2 2005, 12:35 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin--> I have a question for anyone who understands "Directions" (Dhig in samskritham).

I was talking with a rationalist friend of mine (who believes in vedanta, but wants to reason it out), and he asked if there was a "RATIONAL" reason behind the assignment of Dhig-palakas to the particular directions, and whether it is THAT important that we face only east in the morning and that we SHOULD NOT do achamanam facing west as in the Cosmic level, there are no directions, and what is east now has changed 1 second later (owing to earth's rotation.)

I do not yet know a proper reasoning (apart from the magnetic field of earth) as to why Directions are given such prominence in Sanathana Dharma. Anyone ? <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Could it be that this is merely some kind of popular belief?
