Janeu is called Yagyopaveet in the Sanskrit language. it is a sacred thread made of three-thread yarn, which a person wears over the left shoulder and below the proper arm. that is, it’s far put around the neck in this sort of way that it stays above the left shoulder. The three threads in the thread – symbols of the trinity Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh-Symbols of Devaruna, Pitruruna, and Rishi-runa are symbols of Sattva, Raja, and Tama. Also, these three sutras symbolize the three steps of the Gayatri Mantra and also the symbols of the three ashrams. There are three wires in each wire of thread. So the total number of stars is nine. One mouth, two nostrils, two eyes, two ears, and two feces and urine make up a total of nine. It means – we speak and eat well with our mouths, see well with our eyes and hear well with our ears. Five knots are tied in the thread which symbolizes Brahma, Dharma, Ardha, Kama, and Moksha. It is also a symbol of five yagyas, five sense organs, and five actions. The length of the thread: The length of the thread is 96 fingers because the wearer of the thread should try to learn 64 arts and 32 vidyas. 32 Vidyas are composed of four Vedas, four Upavedas, six Angas, six Darshanas, three Sutras, and nine Aranyakas.
