In the dawn of the 11th century, the rugged northwest of India trembled under the shadow of a ruthless plunderer from Ghazni named Mahmud.
This Turkish looter, driven by a thirst for loot and destruction, had inherited a vast empire sprawling across Central Asia and now turned his greedy eyes toward the Hindu kingdoms of India.
Among his first targets was the Shahiya( Hindu Shahi) dynasty, a proud line of warriors ruling from their stronghold at Udbhandapur (modern-day Hund, Pakistan).
These kings Jayapala, Anandapala, Trilochanapala, and Bhimapala stood as unyielding sentinels, guarding their land and people against a tide of chaos.

Trishanku was a great king of the Ikshvaku dynasty, ruling over Ayodhya. Despite his virtues, he harbored an impossible dream to ascend to heaven in his mortal body.
Traditionally, only the most righteous souls, after death and cremation, could reach heaven (Swarga), but Trishanku wanted to defy this law.
Determined, he approached his royal preceptor, Sage Vashishta, and pleaded:
“O great Rishi, with your divine yajna, grant me the power to ascend to Swarga while still in this body.”
Rishi Vashishta, wise and bound by cosmic law, refused, saying:
“न च शक्यं मनुष्येण शरीरस्थेन गन्तुम् स्वर्गलोकम्।”
“No mortal can ever ascend to heaven in their physical body.”
Thousands of years ago, Maharshi Charak had told the right method of eating, yet 99% people break the rule first.
There is no need to tell how important food is for the body. Therefore, food can also cause the greatest diseases and food also protects us from them.
Maharishi Charak had told about this in his Ayurvedic diet rules thousands of years ago.
The first rule of eating is Unam, which means warm. Whatever food you are eating, it should be eaten fresh and hot. But most people have forgotten this rule and most have started consuming frozen or processed food. In a hurry, food is cooked and kept in the fridge and heated at night, causing more diseases in people.

The Slaying of Nisumbha
After the fierce demon Raktabija fell, the asura brothers Sumbha and Nisumbha were consumed with rage. Their mighty army had been decimated, and they couldn’t bear the sight of their forces crumbling before the Devi, Chandika.
Nisumbha, his blood boiling with fury, charged forward with his remaining warriors, surrounding the Devi from all sides.
Sumbha, equally enraged, joined the fray, determined to crush her once and for all. The battlefield erupted into chaos as arrows flew like a storm between them.
Chandika, swift and unyielding, sliced through Nisumbha’s weapons his sword, shield, spear, and club breaking them one by one with her divine arsenal.
Nisumbha, undeterred, rushed at her with a battle-axe, but she struck him down with a single blow, felling him to the ground.
