Honey & Its Importance In Different World Religions

Reading Time: 5 minutes, 30 seconds Post Views: 1967

Bees and honey have played a vital part in religious customs and folklore worldwide for a long time. For instance, Hinduism, Christian, Islam, the Yoruban and many other religions use honey to offer divine beings. 

 

The considerable role that honey and bees have played mainly in such countless religions and religious heritage should come as no shock. People have pursued natural honey since the Stone Age, as confirmed by a cavern painting in Spain. For centuries, it was the primary form of natural sweetener we had. Besides, honey bees are fundamental for pollinating every blooming plant, including leafy foods, along with the plants used to feed cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, giraffes, elephants, etc. Consequently, honey bees give us and the rest of nature indispensable help. But a matter of great concern is that these creatures are dying because of monoculture and pesticides. Should they vanish, we will lose a critical part of our social and religious heritage as well as our nutritional base. This misfortune will have cataclysmic outcomes. 

 

Importance of Honey in Hinduism - 

 

The Hindu Gods were often associated with honey bees. Vishnu, Krishna, and Indra were called Madhava, the honey-born ones, symbolizing a honey bee. Vishnu is addressed as a blue honey bee upon a lotus blossom, the symbol of life, revival, and nature. The bee is blue since blue is the shade of the sky from which the Gods come. Where Vishnu steps, a spring of mead shows up. Krishna, a manifestation of Vishnu, is regularly portrayed with a blue bee on his forehead. Another god, Siva, the destroyer, has another structure, called Madhuri, or the smooth one. In this structure, his symbol is a reversed triangle with a honey bee settling upon it. There is even a Hindu Bee Goddess named Bahrami, which signifies 'honey bees' in Hindi. It was said that Bhrami lived in the heart chakra and produced the humming sound of honey bees. This humming, murmuring commotion was frequently imitated in Vedic serenades and addressed the fundamental sound of the universe the whole way across India.

 

Then, the Kama, the divine force of adoration, conveys a bow with a string made of honey bees. But, furthermore, that isn't the main honey bee-related weapon: the twin horsemen, the Asvins, rulers of light, have a whip dribbling with honey known as Madhukasa. These horsemen ride in a chariot known as Madhuvahana, or "honey bearing". By sprinkling honey from their whip, the Asvins were said to prolong the peoples' lives. There is even a song expounded explicitly on the honey whip in the Atharva-Veda! 

 

Importance of Honey in Christianity - 

 

As indicated by Greek mythology, Apollo's endowment of prophecy was conceded by honey bee-maidens. In Christianity, the honey bee represents insight, for honey bees transform the pollen of blossoms into the gold of honey. In Christianity, there are a few references to honey bees and honey. Most allude to the pleasantness of honey. Although, for example, a few in Deuteronomy 1:44, honey bees are likened to armed forces that conflict with Amorites, which think about the force of honey bees. To be sure, the honey bee's sting is representative of Jesus' crown of thistles and dying on the cross, while the raw honey created mirrors the gentle nature of Jesus.

 

Honey and apples are eaten together at the Jewish Rosh Hashanah to wish for a blessed new year. This natural sweetener reminds Jews that goodness and abundance in things come from God's grace. The Promised Land in the Hebrew Bible is known as "a land streaming with milk and honey." 

 

Honey would normally suggest the presence of honey bees, which are dynamic in the pollination of blossoms, crops, and vegetation. Furthermore, a bounty of milk-creating cows or goats would mean fruitful land, rich fields, and fields for them to munch.

 

A land "flowing" with milk and honey would not exclusively be reasonable forever; however, it would likewise contain a wealth of regular assets for the Israelites and their relatives to appreciate for ages.

 

God wasn't simply encouraging his people to any land; He was carrying them to a great, wonderful land where they would be accommodated in wealth! Thus, when honey is referred to in this case, it is being utilized to signify God's approval and guarantee of wealth, bounty, and wealth to the children of God.

 

Importance of Honey in Islam - 

 

The advantages of honey don't stop at the fulfillment of our taste buds. The excellent recuperating traits of honey have for quite some time been utilized to advance wellbeing and mending. Both the sacred Quran and Hadiths (Prophetic traditions) allude to honey as a healer of sickness. In the Quran we read, "And thy Lord trained the honey bee to assemble its cells in hills, on trees and in individuals' residences… their issues from inside their bodies a drink of varying colors, wherein is healing for humankind. Verily this is a Sign for those who give thought.” 

 

Moreover, in Sahih Bukhari, we read that the Prophet, may the kindness and endowments of God arrive, said: "Honey is a solution for each disease and the Quran is a solution for all ailment of the psyche, in this manner, I prescribe to you the two cures, the Quran and nectar."

 

The Prophet Mohammad perceived and suggested the recuperating properties of honey. But, maybe, the most fascinating and straightforwardly significant example comes from Islam. In the Islamic sacred book, An-Nahl means "The Bee," a chapter that trains Muslims to examine and gain from the enterprising honey bee and live like them. The honey bees' gender assignment is female, which gives off an inaccurate impression on a superficial level. However, diving further portrays another thing. The bees were given importance in this religion to draw attention to the significance of females; their female energy in the hive, or on account of people, the home, and the local area.


According to Mr. Basem Barry, CEO & founder of Geohoney, honey references go back at least 4,000 years in written text. However, as it was the most popular sweetener at that time, this reality doesn't decrease the effectiveness of the lessons and symbolism—another way we can learn from nature how to be the best people. So let’s all do a bit in setting up a garden and planting more and more flowering plants to attract bees and save their population in any way we can.
