MYSTERY OF WORLD'S OLDEST HUMAN
In 1875, a girl named Jeanne Louise Calment was born in the town of Arles in France. Cars and aero planes had not yet been invented. People still traveled by horse-drawn carriage. Candles were still used to light homes. No one in the world would have believed that this girl would go on to make history. She would live such a long time that she would go on to break all world records. In 1889, at the age of 14, Louise was the youngest person in the world to witness the construction of the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris. In 1896, when Louise was 21 years old, she married Mahatma Gandhi, who had moved to South Africa at that time. By 1914, Louise was 39 years old, happily married, and had a daughter, when a huge explosion in Europe shocked Europe. World War I began. In 1934, when Adolf Hitler was on the rise in Germany, there was a tragedy in Louise’s family: her daughter passed away from a lung infection. She was 59 years old at the time, which is the age at which most women become grandmothers. But Louise herself would never have believed that her life would be so incomplete. In 1942, the war in Europe was raging. Millions of people were killed and millions more were separated from their loved ones. The same thing happened at Louise’s home. She lost her husband when she was 64. In 1947, India gained its independence from the British, and Louise was 72 years old. In her lifetime, horses had replaced cars, and candles had replaced electricity. In 1969, when she was 94 years old, “one small step for man” was said to be a giant leap for mankind. In 1985, In the Indian election, Rajiv Gandhi secured a historic victory. In India, the information technology revolution was about to start. At the time of the election, Louise was already 110 years of age. She had been living in her home until then, but after the election, she moved into a retirement home. In 1988, the world came to know about Louise. She was all over the news, being called the world's oldest living person. In 1897, Jeanne Louise Calment passed away at the age of 122. By then, the age of computers and the internet had already begun. Calment lived an extraordinarily long life that surpassed all imagination and set a longevity record that remains unbroken. What enabled her to live so long? Was it just luck, or did lifestyle choices also play a key role? Initially, one assumes luck was a major factor in her 122-year lifespan. To live that long requires tremendous fortune. But we must examine how much her longevity stemmed from chance versus intentional healthy habits. Let's analyze this today. During the period from 1870 to 1900, Denmark conducted scientific research specifically focused on twins. A total of over 2,800 twins were thoroughly examined in order to investigate the role of genetics, lifestyle, and environment in determining longevity. This renowned study, known as the Danish twin study, concluded that approximately 20% of an individual's lifespan is influenced by genes, while the remaining 80% is shaped by lifestyle choices and environmental factors. This implies that the food we choose to consume, our exercise habits, and overall healthy lifestyle significantly impact our lifespan. Furthermore, these factors also play a substantial role in determining the health of our hair. Although hair loss is partly a natural process influenced by genetics and age, it is also influenced by our lifestyle choices. Medically, hair loss is categorized into seven stages. If an individual falls within stages 1 to 4, it is possible to control hair loss by identifying the root cause. However, once an individual reaches stage 5, it becomes more challenging to regain lost hair, and options such as hair transplants, which are both risky and expensive, become the only viable solutions. Therefore, if you find yourself in stages 1 to 4, it is not too late, and Traya can assist you. Traya offers a comprehensive and safe solution for hair loss. They begin by conducting a thorough hair test to determine the stage of hair loss, assess the extent of damage, and identify the underlying causes. Subsequently, their experienced doctors create a personalized solution tailored to your specific needs. This all for today please wait for the other part.

Kamakhya Devi
Located in Guwahati, Assam, on top of Nilachal Hill, the Kamakhya Devi Temple is a monument to the spirituality and architecture of ancient Hinduism. Its past is intricately entwined with ancient history, dating back to the renowned account of Lord Shiva's wife, Sati. As per the scriptures, Sati was the daughter of Prajapati Daksha and also an incarnation of the goddess Adi-shakti. Daksha was the son of Brahma and the first Prajapati (emperor) of the world which made him egoistic. She fell in love with Bhagwan Shiva who was hated by her father Daksha. Despite her father's disagreement, Sati married Shiva which made Daksha abandon her daughter. Once, Prajapati Daksha escorted an enormous yajna in her palace. All the gods, demons, priests, and commoners from all around the world were invited except Shiva and Sati. Sati imbibed by the love of her parents decided to access the yajna uninvited. Noticing Sati in the palace, Daksha became furious and out of rage insulted Shiva. Sati could not bear the insults of her husband and self-immolated herself. Witnessing such devastating condition of his wife, Shiva became furious and called upon Virbhadra and Bhadrakali to annihilate Daksha. He then entered the palace and bearing the burnt body of her wife traveled across the cosmos in anguish and wrath. To emancipate the soul of Sati, so that she could be reborn, Bhagwan Vishnu, with the help of his sudarshan chakra, sliced her body into 51 pieces, each falling into different sites and creating a Shaktipeeth. Kamakhya Devi temple is the place where Sati's vulva (external genitalia) fell, forming the holiest place for Hindu pilgrims. Interestingly, there's no idol of the deity in the Sanctum Sanctorum of the temple, rather a yoni-like stone (a stone in the shape of the female genitalia) over which a natural spring flows. Every year, the Kamakhya Temple hosts the Hindu festival known as the Ambubachi Mela. It lasts for four days and is observed during the monsoon season, which is often in June. Thousands of followers from all across India attend the festival, which is based on the traditional tale that the goddess Kamakhya has a menstrual cycle. The goddess Kamakhya is thought to be going through her yearly menstrual cycle during this period, hence the temple is closed for three days. During this time, the Brahmaputra river also turns red for three days. A red cloth is used to cover the yoni during these three days. The temple is reopened on the fourth day, often referred to as "Naba Patrika Puja" or "Devi Snan," which marks the conclusion of the goddess' menstrual cycle. The red cloth covering the yoni turns red and is distributed among the Devotees in the form of Prasad (Angabastra). Devotees assemble to watch the idols being bathed in holy water while engaging in complex rituals and hymn chanting. The fair draws visitors from all across the nation with its array of cultural events, folk music and dance performances, traditional craft exhibits, and local food vendors. All things considered, the Ambubachi Mela is not just a religious celebration but also a cultural spectacle that highlights the rich history and customs of India and provides a forum for societal unity and spiritual renewal. For those who worship the goddess Shakti, the Kamakhya Temple is extremely important as one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, representing the holy feminine force and energy. The temple complex consists of several smaller shrines, each radiating a sense of spiritual reverence and devotion, devoted to different forms of the goddess. Its unique dome-shaped roofs and elaborate wall carvings are reflections of the Indian cultural and artistic influences on its architecture. The temple has a long history of incorporating tantric rituals and practices, which draw researchers and practitioners of Tantra from all over the world. For both visitors and seekers, the Kamakhya Temple is more than just a physical structure—rather, it's a hallowed place where the goddess's heavenly presence is felt deeply. It inspires innumerable people on their spiritual journey through the realms of devotion and divine grace, acting as a light of hope, healing, and transformation. Menstruation is a representation of a woman's inventiveness and ability to bear children. It's a symbol of rejuvenation and creation, something which should be revered and not forsaken. The goddess and the Kamakhya temple honor the Shakti that resides in every woman. But unfortunately, some people even today, consider menstruation and a bleeding woman to be impure. There's a need to recall the lost history and heritage of India to bring back the era when women were worshipped and respected and menstruation was considered a reverential and creative process rather than a taboo.
