World lions day-August 10

 


Do you know the value of lions day? The most portrayed animal does it needs any specific day for conservation or does it reach the edge of extinction beyond its depictions as a ferocious sharp canine king? What are the challenges faced by our kings of the forest, in 2018 a large number of Asiatic lion populations vanished by diseases due to canine distemper virus and babesiosis. Our kings are facing the stage of being endangered in unprotected territories. So, the day for knowing their issues and the conservation of this species is vital for our sustainable biodiversity.

The king of the forest, the lion first roars to make the target aware of its arrival, and after simply grabbing the soul of the prey this distinctive character made the way to symbolizing the lion as royalty, power, and strength in numerous mythologies around the world. We can observe a fusion of the lion with other creatures like a Roman god with both Greek and Egyptian features Chnoubis the snake with a lion head, Imdugud the thunderbird (bird with a lion head) of a Sumerian god brings the south winds, and his roar is believed to be the thunder, the eagle with a lion-headed Ningirsu the god of rain, fertility, and irrigation in ancient Sumer and Babylon and Yali an Indian mythical creature with lion body and elephant head are few examples.

Deity from the kingdom of Kush Arensnuphis, Roman god Dedun, Hindu deities like Pratyangira devi, Narasimhi, Narasimha and mount of goddess Durga of Hindu traditions, Nubian war goddess of Menhit, Sekhmet the warrior and healing goddess all these deities are a fusion of lion with the human body. Other than positive shades, personalities that were feared by mankind like Pazuzu, Manticore, and Mahes were present. These all cultures of humans feared, obeyed, and devoted to various forms of lions symbolizing their respect towards this creature also the pure representation of interlinkage between different species proves the need for co-existence in nature. Deterioration of one species can badly affect the equilibrium of nature because nature demands us to be the predator and prey for the other. So, it’s our chance to provide these kings with protected kingdoms.

NAVARATRI 2023

  Navaratri chants...... Navaratri celebrations are always special for Indians delightful memories, watery mouths, graceful dance inside a decorated divine home.   For south buddies especially Keralalites it’s the day of the Pooja holiday. Where we younger ones place the books and other knowledge carriers in front of our Saraswati Amma. Chanting mantras for refreshment and for gaining the spirits to achieve more focus on our learning abilities. Amma was busy with her pooja preparations in the shop purchasing fruits, aval(dried form of rice), Pori, sugarcane, raisins, rose water, perfuming incense sticks and other decorating items for creating an energetic divine experience. The energetic minds and peaceful bodies for a precious restart for the next year.  She kept her tools of stitching by wishing for a bright work experience and consistency. As a person recently dedicated to social media YouTube videos, I have become aware of the deep and cheerful Navaratri days. As we all know a

ONAM – festival of all flavors of happiness and taste

ONAM   festival of all flavors of happiness and taste Thoughts😊 Being an urban grown-up Onam gives separate experiences, delightful moments, flavours, and colors to my life. Whereas rural celebrations entirely vary with the extreme touch of nature with very traditional practices of togetherness. Urban centre Onam is flourished by posters of Onam advertisements, money gathering, and Pookalam with accessible flowers. Community level of celebration with cheerful competitions is present in both but more extended ranges of celebrations of friendship in career centres can be seen in urban. So, these two poles of traditions of rural and urban heterogeneity of celebration fulfill our minds and memories with the prosperity of Onam.  Thiruvonam- 10th day On the morning of Thiruvonam, my dear sibling was perplexed to find out the ten colours for Pookalam with his great enthusiasm he somehow managed to complete ten blooms of the Pookalam. This Onam was in between troubles which had resulted in un
