2.porous in nature n soap 🧼 used for their cleaning gets into these pores only to be released back while we cook in them at high temperatures. Who would want to have a curry🍛containing soap?😖
When we make a shift to #traditionalcooking utensils...
I
3. It's very important to switch to #traditionalCleaning methods also.
Receipe: 1. Woodash or cowdung ash (2parts) 2. Washing soda (1 part) 3. Soapnut powder (1 part)
In case, the vessel is too greasy, use hot water along with the above powder. .....
4. This makes it more effective to clean oily surfaces. As I cook my everyday rice 🍚 on traditional 'choolha'. Woodash is a cooking byproduct n I get it for free. U can avail it either online or source it from a nearby village. Cowdung ash is definitely a better option.
5. The sewage water post cleaning is safe for ur garden too. If u know another receipe for dishwashing option do let me know.
Would love to try it out😀
After all #healthiswealth
What's good for the environment is also good for us. 🌍
There are a few methods to prepare liquid dishwash with soapnut n lemon or vinegar but the problem with them is their #shelflife. Whereas this dishwashing powder I shared is completely dry. If stored properly can be used for more than 6months with no issue.
I generally grind the woodash in the mixy quickly to get a fine powder n then mix these three powders manually. N it's ready to use 😃

👵🏽 Mother-in-law: The traditional way is the right way — duty, discipline, and devotion!

If you get into the trap of who’s right n wrong, trust me you are screwed up for life...🥴

📜 Anekāntavāda enters the picture here, sipping chai thoughtfully...
"Technically, you’re both right — just from different viewpoints. One’s seeing the teacup, the other’s the saucer — but the chai’s hot either way!" ☕
Wondering what is this Anekāntavāda.🤔
This famous elephant story describes it like no other.
2.
A group of blind men encountered an elephant for the first time. Each touched a different part and described it based on their limited experience:
Side? "It’s like a wall!"
Tusk? "No, it’s like a spear!"
Trunk? "It’s a snake!"
Leg? "Obviously a tree!"
Ear? "It’s a fan!"
Tail? "Clearly a rope!"

I was against “Murtipooja” or “Idol worship”.
Why do people go to a famous temple, stand in que for day n night just to get a glimpse of a particular stone? What is the difference between that stone and any other ordinary stone?
I grew up with such questions in my mind and no one could offer me an answer that made sense to my logical mind. Then I came to know that...
🧵1.
there is something known as ‘consecration’. Now what’s that? It is like this, if you transform mud into food, we call this agriculture. If you make food into flesh and bone, we call this digestion, integration. If you make flesh into mud, we call this cremation. If you can make this flesh or even a stone or an empty space into a divine possibility, that is called consecration.
2.
Today, modern science is telling us that everything is the same energy manifesting itself in a million different ways. If that is so, what we call as divine, what we call a stone, what we call a man or a woman, what we call a demon, are all the same energy functioning in different ways.
For example, the same electricity becomes light, sound and so many other things, depending upon the technology. So, it is just a question of technology. If you have the necessary technology, you can make the simple space around you into a divine exuberance, you can just take a piece of rock and make it into a god or a goddess -this is the phenomenon of consecration.

The Mahābhāratacontains a fascinating dialogue between Yudhiṣṭhira and Bhīṣma Yudhiṣṭhira said: O Bhīṣma (Gāṅgeya), if a pigeon enters and settles in someone’s house, what should be done to bring peace? Please tell me quickly.
Alright! so this pigeon problem existed even then! 😳
युधिष्ठिर उवाच -
कपोतो यदि गाङ्गेय!
निविशत्यालयं नृणाम् ।
कथं शान्तिर्भवेत् तस्य
क्षिप्रमेतद्वदस्व मे ।

The ancient Indian tradition of Vāstu Śāstra and ritual practices encompasses detailed guidance for maintaining harmony between humans and their environment. Among the various omens and their remedies discussed in classical texts, the unexpected entry of a pigeon into one’s home holds particular significance.

The urgency in Yudhiṣṭhira’s request - “tell me quickly” - mirrors the contemporary recognition that pigeon problems require prompt intervention to prevent escalation.

The snake earned a reputation as the most evil and deceptive figure in all of Christianity.
Is snake really a symbol of evil?
In India, Kerala has the highest snake's diversity and density.
If they are evil, then why Serpent worship or ophiolatry is deeply rooted in the tradition of Kerala since time immemorial?
let's check how deep are these roots.....
🧵1.
In Kerala, there are two very important centres of serpent worship: 'Mannarasala temple' and 'Vetticode temple'. Both the temples are believed to be consecrated by Lord Parasuram after he created the land of Kerala.
🧵2.
The day of Ayilyam (the ninth star in Hindu astrology) every month is considered as an auspicious day, and special pujas are conducted for serpent deities on that day.

Perched atop a hill in Perumbavoor, Kerala, this temple is built inside a natural cave formed by a gigantic rock—75 feet long, 45 feet wide, and 25 feet high! The way the rock rests defies logic. 🤯

The position of the rock which forms the roof and the places where it touches the base cave is still unknown.
So it looks as if the huge boulder is mysteriously suspended in the air!!!😮
Recently I had the fortune to visit The Achankovil Sastha Temple which is a Hindu temple located near the banks of the Achankovil River in the Kollam district in the Indian state of #Kerala . It is one of the five important temples dedicated to Shasta in Kerala.
1/🧵
For those who do not know, Shasta is a Hindu deity of Dravidian origin, associated with Shiva and Vishnu, described as the offspring of Shiva and Mohini. His principal function is to act as a kuladevata of a given clan, known as Ayyanar in TN & Ayyappan in Kerala. 2/
Achankovil temple is known for curing poisonous snakebites, and the deity is considered a Maha Vaidya (great physician). The right palm of the Shasta idol holds Chandanam (sandalwood paste) and Theertham (holy water), which according to the devotees have medicinal properties. 3/
