White Janeu

Janeu or Janoi – three sacred and holy cotton threads the symbol of spirituality, sacrifice, mother, role model, etc. Wearing Janeu on the left shoulder represents three core ideas of Hinduism, focusing on the spiritual journey; don’t forget the responsibility towards the parent and spiritual teachers. It means we all must remember the obligation of God, Parents, and Teachers. Three fibres are woven into one thread and the three threads are then knotted together. Three threads represent three stages of life, student – Brahmacharya, householder – Gruhasta, and retire – Vanprastha.
