Here is a 100+ year old Copper pot of our house.

Copper pot has its own importance in spiritual and health related aspect in Hinduism. Now a days Copper drinking water bottle are again in trend, not sure how much copper it contains thought, anyway here are some facts. Image
Lord Shiva is very fond of Abhishek. To make a continuous abhishek on the Shiv Ling, they put a copper pot which a very small hole at the bottom.

This way water's abhishek runs for long period of time. Some people also put milk in it. Image
There is a symbolism attached to the water dripping from the pot. Legend has it that the water in the pot is meant to cool Shiva of the effects of drinking the halahala poison during the Samudra Manthan.

Nalopakhyanam - A Katha one should hear to get rid of effects of Kali Purusha 🙏🏼🍀

There lived a king called Bhima who ruled a kingdom called Vidarbha. He was a great ruler. He had no santaan and wished to serve a great Rishi called DAMANUDU along with his wife in forests.
With the blessings of Rishi, king and queen were blessed with 3 sons and 1 daughter. Daughter was named Damayanti. She was very beautiful and graceful that even gods also wanted to have her as their Devi. In another kingdom called Nishadha, King veerasena has a son Nala Maharaja
Nala had a graceful body and he was Ajaanubaha like Shree Rama. He was a great chakravarti, gunvaan, and a great warrior who was an expert in Ashwavidhya. One day Nala catches a swan. The swan prays maharaja to leave it free and it will sing the glory of him to Damayanti

Few People asked that is "Paap" Forgiven by God anyhow?
Here is an answer, little longer but worth reading:

Yes, "Paap" are "forgiven", There are many verses for "sins washed out" throughout Gita. Lets first cite them one by one. 1/n
Gyan Yoga (Sundar/Beautiful): Once a person conquers the Rajo-guna and identifies himself with absolute, all his past deeds are freed, be it good or bad. Would merge within the supreme without any Karma lingering BG 6.27
Karma Yoga : The true Sanyasi is the one who lets go the fruits of Karma, because a person cannot get rid of doing (good/ugly) Karma due to material nature influence. But those who have renounced the fruits of action are unaffected and would get Moksha; others get mixed fruits.

A thread on Urmiladevi nidra :

The legend of Lakṣmaṇa remaining awake for 14 years while Ūrmilā slept for the whole duration can be traced back to two Telugu folk-songs

1) Lakshmana-devara navvu (Laughter of Lakṣmaṇa)
2) Urmiladevi nidra (Ūrmilā's Sleep). 1/n
A Note : The Tilaka commentary of Nāgeśa Bhaṭṭa on Ayodhya-kāṇḍa, Sarga 56 (50 in CE), Verse 1, clarifies that the popular notion is not supported by Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, but the legend is so beautiful and underrated.

It starts with "Laughter of Lakshmana" !
The Laughter of Lakshmana:

After defeating Ravana, Rama returns to Ayodhya, along with his wife and brother Lakshmana. Later, Rama was crowned in the presence of all the Gods, sages and others.

Enlightenment is not the destiny of soul.

It is the necessity of every soul.

Without knowing who we are or the self before death arrives is like living a dream.

And in a dream we never know we are in a dream first, and where we will wake up after the dream second.
Calling enlightenment destiny creates an illusionary thought, that it will happen automatically, eventually since its a destiny, destiny means it will happen for sure.

But it is not like that, to attain enlightenment one has to seek it, practice it.
Every human has two options, to live the life with nature like any other animals do OR to rise above the nature, this possibility is true for humans only. So, its not a matter of time its a matter of doing it.
