Lovely Song about Kathakali

Actors are the two legends of Kerala Cinema, Prem Nazeer and Sree Vidya.

Manipravala Thalakal Unarnoo
Manassil kamala dalangal vithirnoo
Kavya Kalayude kanakamgulikalil
Kathakali Mudrakal Vidarnoo !

Manipravala ......................

Verses equalling Ruby ( Mani ) and Coral ( Pravala )
And lotus blossomed in Mind !
From the great Art of Poetry
Rose the Mudras of the King of all Arts ( Kathakali )

Sharat kala megham Thirasselayayi
Sasiklaa Kali vilakkayee
Onnayi Varriyarum
Irayimman Thapiyum
Varna narayangal minukkee

The clouds of Sharath
Became curtain for the play
Moon became the Lamp
Both Variar and Thampi became one
Giving finishing touches to costumes !

Pampayum Periyarum
Bharata puzhayum
Aa padangal paadi
Chaitra marangal aadee !
Chendayil thengilayil
Elathalangil Syamantakangal kilingee

The rivers of Kerala
Bharata puzha, Pampa and Periyar
Sang those beautiful verses
And the trees of Chaitra danced !

Manipravala .....................

Damayantiyayi Droupadiyayi
Devayaniyayee
Kairali Rathiyay Sathiyay
Rambhayay Radhayay
Raasa Natanam Aadi !

As Damayanti, Droupadi
And as Devayani
Magnificent Kerala rose
As Rathi, as Sathi
As Rambha and Radha
She danced the Blissful Dance !

Ratnakireedavumayi Thiranottam Nadathi
Rasa Chakravarthiyam Sringaram..

Madhura Ashtakam

Madhurashtakam, Adharam Madhuram

Here the poet, Vallabha, is playing on the double meaning of the word
Madhura. Madhura is the place of Lord Krishna and it means sweet also !
Adharam Madhuram Vadanam Madhuram Nayanam Madhuram Hasitam Madhuram |
Hrdayam Madhuram Gamanam Madhuram Madhura-Adhipater-Akhilam Madhuram ||1|| 

Sweet are Thy Lips
And thy face too
Glorious Thine eyes
Also Thy Smile
Thy Heart, Thy going
Sweet indeed are They
O Lord of Madhura !

Jackfruit, Kerala's National Fruit

Jackfruit, Kerala's National Fruit.

We have the hot months of Meena & Mesha before us.

The Sun's longitude is 337 degrees today, 22 03 18, which means Kerala is experiencing the hot, summer season. Temperature has gone upto 34 - 36 degrees. We have the hot months of Meena & Mesha before us. Acute potable water problem in many villages have been reported, due to poor water management. Kerala is in for big trouble, before Edava Pathi dawns on 29th May, when Sun's longitude becomes 45 degrees !

If you know your Moon you can know what the divine forces of Destiny have in store for you.

Mega Thiruvathira

 Mega Thiruvathira - World Record - Poornathrayeesa  

                                           A  Gulf News Report

Dubai:       Passion and patriotism united when 1,246 Indian women donned the Thiruvathira Robe ( white cotton saree with golden border, exquisite jewellery and hair adorned with jasmine - a visual feast )  in the UAE and presented a performance of a semi-classical, traditional dance form of Kerala, Thiruvathira, in Dubai on Friday. ( Dancing improves brain function & reverses signs of aging ).

The women, a majority of them hailing from the South Indian state of Kerala,
presented the dance at the Etisalat Academy.

The Grand Alliance, Maha Ghatbandan, has many potential emperors

The Grand Alliance, Maha Ghatbandan, has many potential emperors. One from Maharashtra, one from Kerala, another from UP and another from Seemandhra, AP. They have only one aim - the PM's chair.

Many are happy that the Dynastic Rule has ended. Without power, they have sleepless nights.

For the last 3 decades, we had only coalition governments. The Grand Alliance is made up of many small, regional parties, who have only regional and personal ambition and not Indian Nationalism So, despite their tall claims, they cannot come to power, as people are not fools.

The Auspicious Abhijit Muhurta

Abhijith is the 28th constellation and is considered male-
in contrast to the 27 wives of the Moon- the 27 constellations
which tenant the Ecliptic,which are considered female.

Mythology has it that Moon used to stay with his 27 wives
and loved Rohini more. He is exalted in Taurus.  Abhijith
starts from 6 deg 40 minutes in Sidereal Capricorn and
extends upto 10 deg 53 min 40 seconds in that Sign.
 

Generally, a Muhurta is 48 minutes or 2 Nadis ( 2* 24 minutes ).  Diurnal
or nocturnal duration is divided by 12 and we get 15 Muhurtas
in a day.  The 8th Muhurtha occurring  in a day is the auspicious
Abhijith Muhurtha, Abhijith Nama Madhyhne Muhurtho Vaishnava Smritha. 
But specifically, the defintion of a Muhurtha is Day Duration /15 and it need not be 48 minutes. It may vary. 

Computation of Abhijit Muhurtha for this Electional Hour.

This is how Abhijit Muhurtha is computed by our Software for one day
Sunrise                       6.16
Sunrise in  Mins         376.00
Dayduration               745.00
Muhurtha                   49.67 mins
Abhijit Start                723.67
Abhijit End                 773.33

Abhijit starts from      12   3 to  12  53 PM 

Tips for programmersFirst calculate Sunrise. Then find out the Daily Duration
Sunset - Sunrise = Daily Duration
Divide Daily Duration by 15. It may vary from 45 to 51 minutes
Add 7*Muhurta Time to Sunrise and then Abhijith Muhurta starts.

abhi = risez + (7*adur )

  

What is Zero * Infinity ?

What is Zero * Infinity ?

Any number into Zero is Zero
Any number into Infinity is Infinity

The answer is that it is a mathematical Indeterminate !

Buddhists call Reality Shoonya, Zero.
HIndus call Reality, Poorna, Infinity.

The First Science, the Science of Being, Vedanta Saastra, tells us to identify with the Macrocosm, the Brahmanda and never with Microcosm, the Pindanda !

Says the Guru to the Disciple.

Yatra Bhasayati Visvam
Kalpitam Rajju Sarpavat
Ananda Paramananda
Sa Bodhastam Sukhe Chara !

In Whom all this is illumined
Like Serpent which looks like Rope
That is Thee, Thyself, Bliss
Have that Cosmic Awareness !

They mystic number 18 represents18 principles

About the 18 Sciences & 18 Arts which grace Indian Philosophy.

We are bringing in a Consciousness Revolution, a Trans Human Revolution and intend to take humanity to the level of Divine Consciousness, through these intuitive arts and sciences.

1 ) Science of Being as Being -Vedanta Sastra, 2 ) Science of Cosmic Union - Yoga Saastra, 3 ) Science of the Heavens - Jyothis Sastra, 4 ) Science of Nature - Sankhya Saastra, 5 ) Science of Atoms - Vaisesika Sastra, 6 ) Science of Logic - Nyaya Sastra , 7 ) Science of Life - Ayurveda Sastra, 8 ) Science of Wealth - Artha Sastra, 9 ) Science of Grammar - Vyakarana Sastra, 10 ) Science of Definition - Niruktha Sastra, 11 ) Science of Phonetics - Siksha Sastra, 12 ) Science of Poetic Meters - Chandas Sastra,13 ) Science of Musicology - Gandharva Veda, 14 ) Science of Symbology - Purana Sastra,15 ) Science of Ethics - Dharma Sastra, 16 ) Science of Archery - Dhanur Veda, 17 ) Science of Serpent Power - Tantra Sastra, 18 ) Science of  Dance - Natya Saastra. .


These are Intuitive Sciences, which are slightly different from the physical sciences and involve the added element of Intuition, along with Experimentation, Observation, Hypothesis, Generalisation and Classification ( which the physical sciences use ) ! The Sixfold Scientific Method !

The Eighteen Arts are

Kathakali, Mohiniattom, Kuchipudi, Bharata Natyam, Odissi, Sattriya, Kathak, Manipuri, Kalarippayattu, Ottam Thullal, Krishnanattom, Theyyam, Chakyar Koothu, Thiruvathirakali, Kavadiattom, Nangiar Koothu, Koodiyattom and Kummattikali.

The Eight Classical Dances and many semi-classical !

They mystic number 18 represents18 principles. They are

The Five Elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Ether and Air
The five organs of action, Karmendriyas - Pada ( feet ), Hasta ( hands ), Vag Indriya ( Sense of Speech), Paya ( Anus ) and Upastha ( Genitalia ).
The five organs of perception, Jnanendriyas - Ear, Skin, Eyes, Tongue and Nose.
Nature, Prakriti
Mahat ( Cosmic Intelligence )
and EGO !

Relation of 18 to 108 is that 108 is a multiple of 18 ! The sacred 108 symbolises the 9 Revolving Heavens * 12 Signs of the Tropical Zodiac. Also the 108 Lunar Mansions of the Sidereal Zodiac. ( 27 Nakshatras * 4 quarters).

There are 18 Siddhantas, 18 Horas and 18 Samhitas,  18 Puranas, 18 Upa Puranas, 18 Smritis & 18 Upa Smritis ! The chapters of the Gita are 18 and the Parvas of the Maha Bharata are 18 !

Alternative Therapies for neurodegenerative diseases

The Indian wonder herb, Mucuna Pruriens
                                                  

The Ayurvedic treatise, the Susrutha Samhita, prescribes Mucuna Pruriens ( Naikurana Parippu ) for Kampa Vata, a disease characterised by tremors, balance problems and rigidity.

Long before Jesus was born, the therapy for Kampa Vata flourished in India. Taking in Mucuna twice ( 500 mg  dose ) was found to decrease Kampa Vata symptoms.

Later Dr Parkinson discovered it and called it Parkinson's  disease. 

....

Yoga exercises were also prescribed for patients. Vajrasana gives strength to legs, Dhanurasana makes the body flexible.

Yoga Therapy ..

Pranayama, Breath Control  
Short breathing means lack of oxygen. Oxygenate your brain with deep breathing !

This disease affects people > 60. Lack of exercise, excess intake of sugar, stress prolonged, insufficient rest, overwork, environmental factors were considered to be the cause of this cruel disease, which Allopathy says is incurable. Also Oxidative Stress.   

Mucuna pruriens is a natural source of L DOPA, Dexoy Phenylalanine, which doctors are prescribing for Kampa Vata.  Powdered Mucuna in hot water or milk can be taken internally, twice a day. Mucuna can be used as a supplement and miracle cures ( if accompanied by Grace ) can be effectuated by Mucuna. 

. Mantra Therapy 

Along with Ayurveda Therapy, Mantra Therapy should be resorted to. The health mantra, Dhanvantari Mantra, should be recited daily.

Dhvam Dhanvantaraye Sarvamaya Vinasanaya Maha Vishnave Swaha , O Doctor of Doctors, heal me !

What is the Rationale of Mantra Therapy ?
According to Ayurvedic & Yogic Wisdom, Man's greatest enemy is Mind and Mantra is that which saves you from your enemy, Mind, Mananath Thrayathe iti Mantra !
For instance, one should not worry, be stressed or depressed, as Depression can cause neurological disorder ! Mind is indeed omnipotent !
Also the Healing Mantra 
Sree Vaidyanathaya Nama Shivaya , I bow down to the Master Healer !
  

Detoxification is a must. It is good to go to a Naturopathy Clinic and get detox. Also taking in fruit and vegetable juices ! Music Therapy can also work wonders !

Susruta in his Susruta Samhita stated that slowness ( Cestasangha ), akinesia ( cestahani ), rigidity are the characteristics of Kampa Vata and they are caused by toxins.

Mucuna is known as Atmagupta in Sanskrit and as Naikarana Parippu in Malayalam. This wonder Indian drug is Mother Nature's remedy for Parkinson's disease or Kampa Vata. According to Ayurveda, the cause of Kampa Vata is Dhatu Kshaya Janya Vata Kopa, anger of Vata necessitated by the depletion of the Seven Tissue Elements, the Sapta Dhatus !

Aswagandha, the Indian Ginseng
.

Aswagandha is another herb of Nature which can manage and cure Kampa Vata. It heals brain cell damage & clears protein plaques. This Indian Ginseng can effectuate cures for AD & PD. ( Alzheimer's and Parkinson's ).
..
Ginger is another antidote to PD.   Zingerone, a compound contained in Ginger root, protects the dopaminergic neurons. Fish soup is also effective. Black Ginger Coffee ( Black because Milk is contraindicated in PD ) is good. D Lactate and glycolate present in Curd or Yoghurt also protects neurons !
Broad beans leaves are an effective cure 
...

Transcendental Meditation can reduce Parkinson's symptoms

https://www.meditationtrust.com/transcendental-meditation-benefits-health/

Fivefold  Elemental Therapy, Pancha Bhootopasana
Sunlight Therapy, Tejopasana, can change moods from pessimistic to optimistic. The levels of serotonin and endorphin increase when the body receives Sunlight. The brain produces serotonin proportional to the Sunlight received by the body. 
The ideal time to receive Sunlight is < 900 AM ( Ela vailukondal elathakum ) and > 0400 PM ( Pokku vailukondal Ponnakum ).  

.This Therapy of Naturopathy can be resorted to.

More info about Pancha Bhootopasana at http://www.eastrovedica.com/html/fivefoldelementaltherapy.asp

Sacred Music Therapy

Music has psychotherapeutic properties ! The West has already accepted Music Therapy. NMT or Neurologic Music Therapy has been hailed as a therapy for PD. 
Why not try Sacred Music Therapy, which is divine in character ? Systematic study of Prakriti is Science and that of Purusha is Philosophy. Prakriti or Nature has two aspects, Divine and Mundane. The Five Great Elements + Mind + Intellect + Ego is Apara Prakriti, Lower Nature and Para Prakriti is Divine Nature. In Spinoza, Natura Naturans and Natura Naturata, Creative Nature and Created Nature. So why not appeal to Para Prakriti, Creative Nature, the Mother Divine, to heal us, Roga Nivarani, Soka Nivarani, Tapa Nivarani  Jaya Durga ?

Dr Diet Control, Pathya

IF one does not maintain Pathya
What is the use of medicines ?
Conversely, if one keeps Pathya
No need for medicines for him, I trow !

Foods to avoid are processed foods, fast food, beverages, sugar et al and foods which are positive are tyrosene rich ( a building block of Dopamine ) foods. A list of foods, contraindicated and proinindicated are given athttp://www.eastrovedica.com/html/procontrafoods.htm 


Astro Therapy 

An afflicted planet can give disease. Saturn causeth PD & AD, Jupiter Diabetes, Moon Blood Cancer, Sun Bone diseases, Mercury Skin Disorders, Venus Venereal diseases and Mars Osteoporosis.
Start treatment when Jupiter or Venus are rising, Gurodaye Visheshena. Saturn rules Vata. 

 Coconut Oil as Cure for AD & P D


Legend of the Healer of Vata Roga , Guruvayurappan 

It is said that the Lord of Guruvayur, cured the great poet, Melpathur's Vata, after the poet had finished his  magnum opus, the Narayaneeyam !
The Lord assumed the role of Lord Dhanvantari. Melpathur was afflicted by Vata Roga. As all medications had failed, he turned to the Lord. The Father of the Malayalam language, Thunchath, told him to " Meen thottu koottan " meaning Count From Fish. Melpathur started writing Overmind Poetry, extolling the glories of the Lord ! He condensed the 18 K verses of Maha Bhagavata into 1 K verses of Narayaneeyam. Almost all verses end in " Pahimam sarva rogal ", save me from all afflictions ! He wrote when his legs were paralysed ! It is said the spirituality develops under conditions of peculiar adversity ! Aurobindo got his vision in jail. Tilak wrote the Gita Rahasya in jail. Jesus was crying on the cross, Eli eli lama sabachthani ! Vivekananda said he never knew when his next meal was coming from !
Not only did the Lord give him Vision and thereby Self Actualisaton, but also healed his Vata Roga !

How strange is Thy Grace, vichitra roopasthavaghal Anugraha !

( Miracles maybe rare. " I believe, because it is impossible, certum est quia impossible est ( Tertulian ). " Do you find it difficult to believe in miracles. I, on the contrary find it easy. The planets and the constellations, the Universe itself - they are all utterly incredible, miracles piled upon miracles ! " ( Prof. Ronald Dixon). )
Note -  These medicines can be taken along with allopathic medicines, averr Ayur Doctors.
