With the agility and power Lord Hanuman has, it is difficult to believe that the Lord was a Yogi. Surya Namaskar (sun salutation) was invented by him as a manner of welcoming his instructor, Surya Devta. And the Lord was the first to teach humans Pranayama.
Lord Hanuman is one of eight Chiranjivis (immortal creatures) mentioned in Hindu literature. He is reported to roam the planet singing Shree Ram's name and telling stories till the end of Kaliyuga. Madhvacharya (13th century CE), Tulsidas (16th century), Samarth Ramdas (17th century), Raghavendra Swami (17th century), and Swami Ramdas (17th century) are among the great religious reformers who claim to have met Lord Hanuman in their lifetime (20th century).
After the conflict in Lanka, Hanuman traveled to the Himalayas to continue his devotion to Lord Ram. With his nails, Hanuman inscribed his version of Ram's story into the walls of the Himalayas. When Maharshi Valmiki went to Hanuman to present him with his version of the Ramayana, he saw the walls and was saddened because Valmiki believed Hanuman's Ramayana was greater and that his painstakingly produced version of the Ramayana would go undetected. When Hanuman realized this, he abandoned his version. Valmiki, taken aback, stated that he would want to be reincarnated to sing Hanuman's glories!
Lord Hanuman was deeply attached to Lord Rama. Hanuman questioned Sita about why she placed sindoor on her forehead in one instance. Hanuman questioned Sita about why she placed sindoor on her forehead in one instance. She said that because she is Lord Rama's wife and companion, the sindoor was a symbol of her unconditional love and respect. Hanuman then wrapped his entire body in sindoor to demonstrate his devotion to Lord Rama. Lord Rama was quite impressed by this and bestowed a blessing that anybody who worshipped Lord Hanuman with si
Barren Island is the only active volcano in South Asia, not just India. This small 3-km-wide island, located approximately 135 km northeast of Port Blair, contains a 1.6-km-wide crater partially filled by a cinder cone that has been the source of eruptions since the first was recorded in 1787.
North Sentinel Island is home to one of the world's most isolated human populations. The Sentinelese, estimated to number around 300 people, have rejected all contact with the modern world and fired their arrows at anyone who comes within range. They are thought to have descended directly from the first human populations to emerge from Africa, and they have most likely lived in the Andaman Islands for up to 60,000 years.
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands have the best nesting beaches in India for three species of marine turtles: Hawksbill, Green turtle, and the world's largest sea turtle, the Leatherback (Dermochelys Coriacea). The nesting population of Leatherback turtles in Nicobar is one of the few in the Indo-Pacific that exceeds 1,000 individuals and is thus of global significance.
Not Andamanese or Nicobarese is the most widely spoken language on the islands. Bengali is the most widely spoken language on the islands, followed by Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. Andaman Creole Hindi is also widely used as a commercial language in the Andaman Islands.
The names 'Andaman' and 'Nicobar' are derived from Malay. The name Andaman is thought to be derived from Hanuman, also known as Handyman by the Malays. The name Nicobar appears to be a corruption of the South Indian term 'Nakkavaram' (Land of the Naked), which is mentioned in the great Tanjore inscription of AD 1050.
Tigers, on the other hand, have antiseptic saliva, so if you get a bruise and want to disinfect it, go to the doctor Tiger, just kidding! Typically, they will lick the affected area to prevent infection.
Tigers are forced into unnatural situations in which they must share or remain in certain areas in a man-made environment; this is when they are referred to as an ambush or streak; even a Tigress with her cubs is referred to as an ambush.
The most heartbreaking aspect is that tiger cubs are born blind, with only a few surviving. The newborn cubs can't see anything and can only follow their mother's scent. Because they are born blind and unable to keep up, the majority of them die of hunger or cold. Some are even devoured by male Tigers to make the Tigress available for mating. That is completely insane!
Although it is not true that all Tigers are nocturnal, they do prefer to conduct the majority of their hunting activities at night. The reason for this is that Tigers prefer to avoid human conflict during the day and patrol their territory at night.
You probably already knew that Royal Bengal Tigers are the largest of the wild cats, but did you know that male Tigers can weigh up to 300 kilograms? Jeez! That's the equivalent of weighing a group of six average humans. All they have to do is sit on top of you and lick their paws, and you're dead.
Many people believe that the Bible began as a single book, but it is actually an anthology of 66 volumes written by many authors. The first printed bible, known as the Gutenberg Bible, was published in 1455, and it was also the first book ever printed. It has been written and rewritten several times, and it has been translated into over 3000 languages during a span of around 1400 years. Furthermore, the first known text of the Old Testament dates from the 2nd century BC. There are no original manuscripts of the New Testament, but owing to fragments and early copies, researchers are very positive that the Bible we have today is more or less the same way it was first written.
The Kohinoor Diamond was discovered in the royal jeweled Mughal Peacock Throne, where the emperor sat. The great jewel stolen from India is now kept in the Tower of London.
Babur Introduced Gunpowder to India. After defeating Ibrahim Lodhi in the First Battle of Panipat in 1526, Babur established the Mughal empire. Historians believe he brought gunpowder to India and used it extensively during wars.
The infamous Taj Mahal in Agra, built by Emperor Shah Jahan, is known to change colour every morning, noon, and midnight. Many people believe it is because of the white marble used in the construction, which is shiny and reflective. Others believe that the structure is infused with historical magic.
There is a peafowl that is completely white. Captive peafowl frequently defies the iridescent trend for all white feathers, thanks to selective breeding. This is known as leucism, and it is caused by a genetic mutation that causes pigmentation loss. These peafowls are frequently mistaken for albino, but animals with leucism retain their normal eye color rather than having red eyes.
They don't have to be slaughtered just to get their feathers. Fortunately, peacocks shed their train every year after mating season, allowing the feathers to be collected and sold without harming the birds. A peacock's average lifespan in the wild is about 20 years. Their beautiful feathers are used for decoration as well as handicrafts.
They don't have fancy tail feathers because they're born with them. Male peachicks do not begin to grow their showy trains until they are about three years old. In fact, because peachicks are nearly identical to their mothers, it's difficult to tell their sex. The males will begin to change color to their vibrant blue around the age of six months.
Only the males are referred to as "peacocks." "Peafowl" is the collective term for these birds. The males are known as "peacocks," while the females are known as "peahens." The babies are known as "peachicks," but peacocks are more commonly known for their beautiful feathers and vibrant colors.
A female peacock's crest contains special sensors that allow her to detect vibrations from a distant mate. According to The Atlantic, the feathers are "tuned to vibrate at the same frequencies as a displaying peacock rattles his tail," according to The Atlantic. When a male peacock fans his tail, he shakes it 26 times per second, creating a pressure wave that rattles the female's head in a bid for attention.
Srinagar was controlled by the Mauryan empire until the 14th century, and it was emperor Ashoka who brought Buddhism to Kashmir's valley. The Kushans are said to have governed over this region throughout the first century from their strongholds in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Even King Vikramaditya of Ujjain reigned over this region before handing up sovereignty to a nomadic clan known as the Huns in the sixth century. Mihirkula, a member of this clan, was one of the city's most fearful governors.
Women in ancient India had a great deal of autonomy and independence. Not only were women permitted to discuss issues that are today deemed unacceptable, but they were also given the opportunity to select a spouse for themselves from a pool of suitable males. Svayambara was a tradition in ancient India in which a girl of marriageable age picked a spouse from a group of suitors. In this context, 'Svaya' means'self' in Sanskrit, while 'Vara' means 'groom'. A girl who wishes to marry would choose an auspicious time and location before announcing her intentions. Kings generally dispatched messengers to distant areas, whilst commoners just disseminated information inside th
