references take the game back to the 2nd century BC.

The morality lesson of the game -
a person can attain salvation #Moksha through doing good
by doing evil one will inherit rebirth to lower forms of life
In my view it was the easiest way of teaching the rule of salvation

Praarabdha Karma is a finite pool that we are born with. We will die as soon as this pool gets exhausted. It is argued that since it is a finite pool of #Karma defined by our birth, there is a defined way of understanding it. This field of understanding is astrology.

Avoid and criticise lethal forces of violence and intimidation in order to avoid it from degradation. Convince people about its pure richness. We can't bear threats in the name of such great forces by corrupting the very ideals of its existence

Our beliefs determine our thoughts and attitudes about life, which in turn direct our actions. By our actions, we create our destiny. Beliefs about sacred matters- God, soul and cosmos- are essential to one's approach to life.

Beyond the Veil - The #Ayyappan Sankalpa — A Long Thread !
The #SabarimalaTemple is many centuries-old and hosts an ancient deity, Sastha — #Ayyappan the main Vigraha (idol) of the temple, the deity is worshipped in the form of a Naishtika Brahmachari
This temple is not a prayer hall but is an energy centre; the Vigraha of #Ayyappan is not the representation of a God who is omnipresent, but as a source of energy (Chaithanya) from a mystical dimension.
