Walking Towards Death - 1

Death. It's inevitable and since the time immemorial, has mystified and dismayed us. Death is the only certitude of life but can we predict it? Well science cannot really predict your death for you. Here we brings before you the first series of our articles describing various signs of death as elucidated in Ayurveda, the ancient healing science.
As flower is manifestation preceding the would-be fruit, certain morbidities precede death. Sometimes a fruit may appear without a preceding flower but the certain morbidities do not recede without causing death.
In the upcoming articles we shall discuss the morbidities which are not etiological in nature but resemble them in effect. In fact, they appear without any apparent cause and indicates the measure of the life-span particularly the signs of imminent death due to decadence of life.
Keeping up the pace with our previous article, signs relating to the fatal morbidities are schematized owing to their conspicuousness. These corporeal and extracorporeal signs will be explained sequentially in the upcoming articles.
We will begin with a discussion on changes in complexion and voice in conjunction with the changes in odor emanating from the sick person along with how he tastes, paired elegantly with the patient's own abilities at judging odors and tastes. All of the sensory organs are paired in a way that is nearly grammatical in that they are considered as intransitive, then as transitive. The sense of touch will be then followed by vision, then by a fascinating list of premonitory dreams that indicate death, followed by general physical symptoms. In the remaining articles, fascinating methods of interpretation that involve reading the degree of distortion of images reflected in the pupil of patient's eye, and how to interpret the appearance of a brownish-gray dust on the patient's scalp etc will be discussed. Appearance of patient's head, and more specifically, his face - colour of his skin, its texture, and whether there is balance and symmetry in the appearance of the face in both these respects, followed by the quality of patient's voice. The conditions of teeth, eyes and lips will be discussed likewise.
Stay the course despite all your excitement and curiosity, we will bring the best for you. Keep following!

Do a quick search on google “Most Haunted Places in India” or to be specific “Most Haunted Places in Mussoorie” you will find Lambi Dehar Mines listed there and then numbers of newspaper articles (some of them are big and reputed media), blogs, videos all claiming this place to be haunted.

Its all from mouth to mouth There are few who went there and spent a night. You can find some great YouTube videos claiming they have seen shadows, heard screa...

My Ghost Story - 3

- Shishir Kumar And the later part night went discussing that what we just saw was what the Bengali legends call Dakini or this is the entity that is known as Chudail. Still not clear, but we had definitely seen something very disturbing. It was a challenge I had taken up. A tantric in his mid 40s had asked me to accompany him to the funeral ground where he would evoke the spirits and I would be able to see them. The condition was I should not run away. I? Run Away? Are you serious? He had asked me to come by 11 at night. But out of anxiety and pure happiness, I bought a bottle of 100 pipers and rushed to his house exact at 9. As I barged into his hut, he sat on a mat that looked like a cheap replica of tiger skin. That was the only cloth around him. Further, he was covered with beads and rosary. That was what I could see prima facie. His hut had an entry from right, he sat in the middle of opposite wall and visitors could sit leaning the left wall of the house. As my e...

Defixiones... The Curse Tablet

Defixiones which means to BIND or to CURSE and thus these are also known as the curse tablets. Usually made in lead with high tin content. The material is batted and flattened in rectangular sheet. The use of tin is more as it enables the sheet to be written on. It makes the surface soft and a stylus kind of thing is used to write on the sheet. After the curse or the prayer or the matter is written on to it, it is folded in such a way that the written surface is inside and then either it is kept in this state or is nailed to the coffin of the dead. Horrifying.. what has the dead to do with the tablets? This was a tradition practiced in the ancient Greco-Roman civilization as a part of some magic to bind, curse, destroy, pray for any person, business, place, love, emotion and almost everything. These tablets were found buried in the graves or nailed to the coffin or also sometimes found hanging from the old temple walls. The temple wall tablets where usually prayers for someone to...
