Dear Readers,
Radhekrishna to all!
We started the question “Why do we consider the lotus as special” in our previous post. As mentioned in the previous post, the lotus flower has a mention in the Bhagwad Gita, a very sacred text of the Hindus.
Let us look at that shloka. The same is as under:
Brahmanyaadhaaya karmaani
Sangam tyaktvaa karoti yaha
Lipyate na sa paapena
Padma patram ivaambhasaa
Meaning:
He who does actions, offering them to Brahman (the Supreme), abandoning attachment, is not tainted by sin, just as a lotus leaf remains unaffected by the water on it.
In this shloka the unique characteristic of the lotus flower has been described. The lotus flower remains untainted by its marshy surroundings. It sets a beautiful example for us to follow. In the world around us, there are several vices and evils which one should avoid. The lotus gives us the message to not fall prey to such vices and evils and remain untainted by them.
Let us know more about the significance of the lotus flower in the next post.
Section II: Information about Indian herbs
In this post, let us know about a plant named Gaozaban which is called as Onosma Bractestum in Latin.
- Flowers and leaves of this plant act as a cure for many diseases including cold, cough, asthma and congestion of the chest
- As a stimulant and a cardiac tonic, Araq Gaozaban – essence of the plant distilled like liquor – is widely used by the practitioners of the Unani system of medicine
That concludes our post for the fortnight. Till our next post on 22nd December, Radhekrishna to all our readers!
