All about kasmaalam

daye "kasmaalam".. said a rickshaw-man in Triplicane addressing a fellow guy

but what exactly "kasmaalam" means.. roughly i could recap what my paatti said when i have stomach ache.. "jeernam kashmala dhooshitham"... could that mean waste, scraps? bingo..well, it could mean that.

so a rickshawman speaking sanskrit as his slang? wow!! so what.. when a robber could write an epic (i mean wall-mickey here).. whats so aweful in rickshawman speaking sanskrit?

sanskrit has always been my subject of awe from childhood. Panini, who wrote first grammar book on Sanskrit (Vyakarana-sutra) says that Lord Shiva when struck his udukkai for 14 times came the first 14 syllables of this Language. I was told by one ayurvedic doctor that these syllables are now being used in Osmania university for treating hearing impaired, as these resemble originating syllables.

Neural pathway... that which connects different neurons in our body.. which transmits brain signals to various nervous systems and vice versa. Like my hand says "its heat", the msg carried over to the brain and the brain says "remove your hand".

from our childhood, we keep on sending and receiving signals thru this pathway and at some point of time this pathways dominate our emotions.. !!

what i mean here is, if i were to be arrogant throughout my childhood, even if i want to be soft, the pathways are not used to send these signals, which it feels abnormal. instantly those kind of softer emotions stop at the brain's end without being reacted or expressed.

probably our rishis are of the view that the neural pathway can be opened up by mantras.. making the emotional flows more flexible.

I believe this is the only language wherein you have a meaning for an alphabet (or a syllable to be more specific)... "ring" means to destroy, "vu" means "only for" and it goes on.

the pranavam and the gayathri mantra are the best examples of mantras having significant impact on brain's impulses and increasing seratonin (by the by let me introduce you to a liquid that is secreted in the brain which will reduce the stress levels - mr. seratonin)

But vedic tradition says - Mananat thrayathe ithi - Mantraha (that which saves (thrayate) by constant recollection (mananat)).. it gives best results only when thought (not said)...

but today i feel that most of the mantras have been publicized or rather made in mp4 forms.. as ringtones, calling bells, four wheeler reverse tones, etc.. ooof!! crazy people

on the contrary we have sthothras.. which can be recited. but we have that in pdf.. full stop... almost many of the sthothras are becoming extinct nowadays.

more research on language to make.. lets see
