Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that water possesses memory, labeling such beliefs as superstitions that have historically caused significant social harm in India, such as caste-based discrimination regarding water. He clarifies that while biological entities like DNA can store memory through physical and structural changes, water remains chemically identical as H2O regardless of its source or who touches it. He explains that memory is essentially a physical 'scratch' or impression left by the past that creates differentiation; since water molecules do not change their fundamental structure based on past experiences, they do not retain memory.
