1. The battlefield was fierce…

But in the heat of battle, she lost her leg.
Most would have surrendered.
But not Vishpala…
2. Enter the Ashwini Kumars
The divine twin physicians of Sanatan Dharma.
Masters of surgery, healing, Ayurveda & body reconstruction.
They did the impossible…
They crafted an iron prosthetic leg for Vishpala.
3. Ancient India’s Medical Science Modern Myths
Long before the West spoke of prosthetics…
Sanatan texts already documented it.
The Ashwini Kumars were also called Divine Surgeons.
4. Vishpala: The Queen Who Walked Again
With her iron leg, Vishpala returned to the battlefield.
Fought again. Led her army. Protected her people.
She showed the world: A true Sanatan Warrior Spirit.
5. Rigveda (1.116.15)
This ancient verse is the first historical record of prosthetic surgery.
Western history books remain silent.
Sanatan Dharma already knew.
6. The story of Vishpala is not just about medicine.
It’s about:
Innovation
Courage
Compassion of the Ashwini Kumars
Bharat’s advanced ancient science
India was a Vishwaguru. It still is.

A fusion of devotion, discipline, and extreme physical mastery.

🧵#Thread Let me take you on a journey..👇 Image
1. Odissi Dance – One of the oldest classical dance forms of Bharat, dating back to ancient temples of Odisha (Kalinga).
The dance is not just art. It’s Bhakti (devotion) + Tapa (discipline) + Yoga (body control).
Odissi is moving meditation 🙏
2. This iconic pose is called Chhinnamasta, inspired by Devi Chhinnamasta, the self-decapitated, fearless form of Shakti.
Symbolism:
Ego destruction
Supreme sacrifice
Infinite energy flow
A true Tantric symbol of power.

The Mystical Science of Dance in Sanatan Dharma .
Did you know?
Ancient Bharat mapped the science of movement into 108 Karanas-the divine dance units combining body, hand, and feet movements.
This wasn’t just art.
It was Yoga in motion.
🧵#Thread A journey from the physical to the spiritual.👇Image
2. What is a Karana?
'Karana' - Action (कर्म).
In dance, it signifies the coordinated action of body, hands & feet.
Each Karana radiates energy, aligns chakras & creates divine rhythm.
It’s dance + yoga + spirituality = Sanatan perfection.
3. The Natyashastra of Bharat Muni (c. 200 BCE - 200 CE) documents these 108 Karanas.
This ancient text is called the "5th Veda".
It treats dance not as entertainment but as a sacred yajna to communicate with the divine.
