Long Thread, The Real Ramayana: The story of Ramayana is the spiritual progress of every individual soul in the pursuit of Moksha. We all live some aspect of Ramayana in our daily lives @mamatarsingh@DeepaShreeAB@Itishree001@MumukshuSavitri 1/n
The characters
Rama – the indwelling spirit – the soul who is the king of the 72000 nadis.
Lakshman –represent the power of concentration (Lakshya) which helps the soul regain it bride – Sita. He did focus his entire attention on his brother Rama – the individual soul. 2/n
Sita –represents the Kundalini Shakti, the dormant energy located at the Muladhara Chakra. It is the dormancy of this energy that helps us identify with the body which we call the ego.
Dasharatha – ‘Ten Chariots’ meaning the ten senses. 3/n
Ravana – The devil represents the limited ego that contemplates its greatness.
Hanuman – He represents the prana Vayu which when properly harnessed clears the path for Kundalini (Sita) to meet her beloved soul (Rama).
Kaushalya=Satva Guna
Kaikeyi=Tamo Guna
Sumitra=Rajo Guna 4/n
The Story
Dashrath (the 10 indriyas) under the influence of Kaikeyi (tamo guna) disregards its duty towards Ram (the atma/soul) in order to offer undue favour towards Bharat (the body)…something that we all are doing ‘all the time’ 5/n
Sita was found when Janaka was ploughing a field. She was found from the earth which is an element associated to the Muladhara Chakra where Kundalini Shakti resides. Janaka is a symbolic representation of the creator who awakens the Kundalini by removing her from Earth 6/n
After marriage, Ram,Sita , Lakshman – leave for the forest. When Kundalini unites with the soul, they are blissfully immersed within each other and immediately withdraw from the senses, which die. That is why Dasharatha (the 10 senses) dies soon after Ram and Sita depart. 7/n
his was all fine until Sita chose to disobey Lakshman and strayed from her focus on Rama. As soon as this happens, Ravana – the devil (the ego with 10 heads or 10 senses) – abducts Sita (the Kundalini Shakti) to Lanka which represents the earth element, the Muladhara Chakra. 8/n
This means, that as soon as your concentration shifts away from the soul, you are bound to be dragged down to your limited self state.
Rama (soul) now lost Sita (shakti) to a strong adversary – the limited demonic human personality that uses her for his own gratification. 9/n
Rama had to wander far and for long before He could reach Sita as we all must search incessantly for the Kundalini once she has self identified with something other than the soul. Rama (soul) needs the help of Lakshman (power of concentration) to search for Sita (Kundalini).10/n
Rama also needs the assistance of Hanuman (prana vayu (Pavan Putra)) to eliminate Ravana (the limited ego) and liberate Sita again from Lanka (the Muladhara chakra).
This is the purpose of our soul – to awaken the Kundalini and experience its true universal consciousness.

Embrace of Salvation : In the fall of 1995, two girls, twins, weighing only 2 kilograms, were born prematurely. Brielle and Kyrie Jackson spent their first few weeks of life in special incubators fighting for their lives. 1/4
Kyrie was the stronger twin, thriving and 1.3 kg heavier, while Brielle struggled to survive. At one point, Brielle's breathing became shallow and her heart rate dropped dramatically.
The doctors did everything they could, but simply nothing worked. 2/4
Before it was too late, a nurse got an idea and suggested putting the babies together in one incubator. They had never done something like this before in the US, but something incredible happened.
As soon as Kylie was placed next to her sister, she reached out and hugged Brielle
Starting with the first thread on the importance of Rice in our culture. As usual dedicating to @MumukshuSavitri from whom I learn every day...
The Atharva Veda describes rice as the ‘son of heaven who never die’.
Annadevata, the God of rice, is the first ancestor of sacrifice
Taittiriya Upanishad says that Purusha is formed of rice (anna) and the vital essences (rasa). And that we should not look down on rice; nor neglect rice. He who knows the discipline and glory of rice attains that which he seeks 2/n
According to the Shatapatha Brahmana, rice originated from the marrow or Soma from the body of Indra: ‘In the Mahabharata, Krishna gives Draupadi, an akshaya patra, a bowl that was always full of rice. Rice is a sacred symbol of auspiciousness, wealth, and fertility. 3/n
Sheila donated Rs.5000 to PM/ CM Relief Fund.
On the other hand, Paandu bought a whisky bottle worth Rs 5000/-.
The question is who contributed more?
01. On the Rs 5000 Sheila donated, she got a 30% tax rebate. Therefore, she actually landed up earning back Rs 1500/- 1/3
In other words, by donating Rs 5000 she made a net contribution of just Rs 3500/-.
02. On Alcohol, the total taxes (excise and GST) added up to approximately 72% of the MRP. So when Paandu paid Rs 5000,/-, Rs 3600/- went to the state exchequer...2/4
...and 12.5 pegs of pleasure from a 750 ml whisky bottle 🍷🍷.
Therefore, not only did Paandu contribute more, he created jobs at the Distillery, their suppliers of labels, bottles, caps, machinery etc., jobs at the Marketing Company, jobs at the Wine Shop and 3/4
History of Insurance: Dedicating to @MumukshuSavitri who is an encyclopedia in herself... In 1744, Scotland, Alexander Webster and Robert Wallace, decided to set up a life-insurance fund that would provide pensions for the widows and orphans of dead clergymen. 1/n
They proposed that each of their church’s ministers would pay a part of his income into the fund, which would invest the money. If a minister died, his widow would receive dividends on the profits. The most difficult part was to predict how many clergy men would die each year 2/n
and so how much money would be deducted from their income. So they contacted a Math Prof. Colin Maclaurin whose work was founded on Bernoulli’s Law of Large Numbers. Bernoulli had codified the principle that while it might be difficult to predict with certainty a single event,3/n
Vatsnabh (Vats- for child & Nabh for umbilicus- Roots looks like everted umbilicus) or Aconite is considered one of the the most poisonous plant in the world. It is native to North-East India and Nepal. It is very well spread over Sandakphu mountain in West Bengal. #Ayurveda 1/3
Sandakphu in Tibetean means height of poisonous plant from the fact that shepherds stopped taking their herds to this mountain because of poisoning. No plant grows in its vicinity and there are reports of poisoning in humans by accidental inhalation of its pollen while trekking.
Very evolved and experienced Aghoris smoke this with cannabis to reach an altered consciousness state. In Ayurveda the herb is first purified in cows urine and then used in different medicines to treat Fever, Pain and Arsenic poisoning.3/4
