Indian villages have an individuality that distinguishes them from one another. The wide cultures in different parts of the country villages make them special and attractive together. Due to their unique cultures, they are popular worldwide apart from India. A culture includes lifestyle, food and surroundings distinctively attractive in the Soul of India.

Apart from it taking care of the avatars of God that exist on the earth in form of animals or other creatures is part of their culture. Apart from the popular celebration of Nag Panchami in the village, each home has a space known as “Devasthanam” for the snakes. It is the reason Shetpal village, Maharashtra is known as the Soul of India.

Pets have always been special members of many families, it can be dogs and cats. But it is difficult to believe that poisonous snakes like cobras can be part of the pet families.

Indian Mythology and the Soul of India

Cobra is one of the most dangerous animals in the world that is a powerful deity. In Indian mythology, the Shiva has the necklace of a snake and cobra. Surrounding his neck and shoulder is an ornament describing the power of the Lord to have the ability to drink poisonous elements of the earth. Religion and humanity exist together, in the village, the so-called soul of India.

The poison of cobra is so intense that it can kill a person through a bite in a few seconds. On other hand, Nag or Cobra is offered milk and worshipped as an avatar of Lord Shiva. The connection between the deity, snake, and Hindu religion is still as seen in the Shetpal village, Maharashtra.

The presence of the animals, such as cows, peacocks, bulls, and snakes is encouraged as part of their life. They feed them with vegetables and milk, as well as cherish their presence in their surroundings. Similarly the Shetpal village has a culture of providing shelter to the Cobras as their pets. None of the villagers attempt to drive them away from their campus. Similar to the villagers and other animals they are free to move around.

Nag Panchami the festivities of Shetpal Village

Nag Panchami is the festivity to cherish the power of Cobra. But the festival has nothing to celebrate with Lord Shiva. It is only to offer Nag, as an idol that takes place in different parts of the country. About thousands of devotees arrive to worship the Cobra. There is hardly any case of bites or deaths while there are hundreds of Cobra roaming around in the village.

Though Cobra represents the warmth and blessings of Lord Shiva, the reason for cherishing the day is different. Nag Panchami was the day, Lord Krishna defeated the Kaliya snake, So, both deities remind the significance of Nag Panchami. Milk or items made of milk are offered to the idol. Children or any farmer working in the field move without any fear, it defines the inner grace of the soul of India.

Villagers of the Shetpal village, Maharashtra relive the religion, culture, and humanity fearlessly in the soul of India.

Looking back into history there are some real stories about the deadliest most natural calamity. Such a disaster is undesired but at the same time unexpected that has hampered humans and mankind. Considering the disaster was rare it was within the widened lap of the Indian Ocean. Earthquakes have been risky to lives and for nature at the same time. Destroying nature as land soils, water, and agriculture, specifically when there is the eruption of volcanoes. Indian ocean earthquake has been the worst story that has not only destroyed land, and coasts but also millions of lives. It is the worst natural calamity that occurred in 2004. Tsunamis and earthquakes both occurred together.

An earthquake that resulted in Tsunami

The earthquake below the sea level had shattered not only the floor but also lifted the flow of water intensely. The serial lifting of the seawater led to the formation of a Tsunami. The magnitude of the earthquake was 9, it was so severe that it had destroyed 14 countries at one time. The epicenter of the earthquake was on the western coast of the northern part of Sumatra Indonesia. Just 20 minutes after the earthquake in the Indian Ocean it had swiped off the coastline of Banda Aceh. It was less than half an hour that this incident had killed more than a lacs of people. Any of this kind of natural disaster is not observed in history.

The strong movements of seawater had moved towards the coastline. Forming high tides and waves that had circulated to the nearby coastline and the countries. Countries near the Indian Ocean such as Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and India had experienced the worst with the death of about 200000 people. Earthquakes and tsunamis together had terrified the countries with disaster, the power that nature itself possesses.

Communities of 18 countries are Homeless due to the Indian Ocean Disaster

Recovering from the disaster took more than 5 years. Communities and families were homeless followed by floods. Families including elderly people and kids who have to survive in water specifically in the communities bordered surrounding the Indian Ocean. Damages were also seen in the cities with broken roads and interrupted communication.

Another miserable fact that history could barely forget is the death of the children. Nature was rude and had snatched away about one-third of the children population. It was observed that children below the age of seven were hardly able to survive.

Women and families had to suffer losses with the death of their children. Some had lost one wife few had lost more than one of their children. The communities had undergone the worst mental health due to the loss and damages. The earthquake of 2004 in the Indian ocean had almost been a natural disaster that had fatigued human life.

Disaster has been many in history but destroying the countries. Hampering the population, and hitting the social lives was seen to be reforming with marriages after five years. The Indian Ocean earthquake had been a massive calamity that not only killed people but had broken the community’s morale in just half an hour.

India the land of culture and hospitality never charges guests for food when invited home. It is a part of courtesy that they are served food and drinks with happy faces expecting nothing in return. According to the sacred religious Hindu Book states about feeding guests are a duty and a deed of virtue. As it says “Atithi Devo Bhava”, which means “Guests are God”. Not only for those who are invited as guests for a meal but also for relatives and friends who may not be invited have suddenly arrived at home. Indians do not charge friends for food.

Never Charge Guests or Friends For Food In India

If guests are invited for a weekend lunch or for dinner, it is a pleasure to serve them food and drinks made at home. The reason can be any but after having a nice discussion in the evening and having food the guest leaves the house with happy gestures. Friends may arrive with a bouquet or a small gift at your place. While some may just come without any gifts for their friends, it is fine if someone comes with any gift for the host.

With the belief of the statements in the Upanishads, the hosts require to arrange the dishes and drinks without any second thoughts of any return gifts. The satisfactory time spent together on discussions and eating together over chats of laughter gives a blooming experience to the hosts and the guests. When in India, it is against the hospitality rule, so never charge for food.

Please have a look at my Managed Lightboxes.

Guests may arrive any time of the week, So be ready

It doesn’t matter if you are working or being at home. The guests may arrive anytime at your doorstep without any prior information. Due to their busy schedules, they may give you a call and simply mention your expected time to be at home. Indians find it rude to say no to their guests when they want to visit even in the early morning or at 12 am at night.

Maybe it is one of the reasons that the rice cooker is never cleared off on the same day. There is a trend that the cooker should always have some rice in it. Perhaps, if anyone comes then it will be enough to serve a meal even at the midnight. Indian kitchens always have some extra food and drinks. As they are also not aware when there may be a guest at home without invitation. The guest may or may not pay back with any gift or pay back a part of hospitality as “Atithi Devo Bhava”.

In the same way, friends can be at your doorstep, and may or may not provide any prior information, you cannot charge friends for food. When they are at your home, it can be a plate of rice or a cup of tea never expects any return gifts from them. It is the time they spend together, hoping to have the feeling of closeness that cannot be weighed with money materials.

Staying committed and connected to religious practices and rituals are less encouraged in the modern world. It can be a priest of a temple or practicing religious beliefs. In every sector, it is men who are involved in keeping women away from serving God and Goddess in Modern India. There are restrictions for women to step inside the temple, most of the offerings to God are done by men. Puja and chants are carried out by men, it is opposite to the ancient women.

The culture and religion of ancient India describe women in different criteria. They not only offered to the God and Goddess but also chanted mantras. Sati is an avatar of Parvati or Sita who prayed, meditated, and chanted mantras while offering prayer to God.

The modern world restrict women

Restrictions are many when there is a matter of offering rituals and prayers along with chanting mantras. Women are not allowed to do so, even when they know and can confidently chant mantras. There are restrictions describing the kind of mantras women can try and not all of them are meant for them. On the other hand, men can perform all kinds of rituals and chant mantras of different kinds. It is pointed out at the fact that women cannot read Vedas. Reciting mantras in the modern world are for men, there is discrimination.

Ancient women were likely to offer prayers as well as recite mantras, there was no discrimination against men and women. While the culture and lifestyle of the ancient times differed from the present. Their dedication towards their society and culture varied.

Brahmavadinis, dedication to Vedas

Learning of Vedas required dedication and commitment. It is a reason that during the time of learning period girls who graduated had two choices. Either they could choose the married life or they can choose the life of the Brahmavadinis, they will commit to learning and study Vedas.

Studying Vedas and learning expertise was known as Brahmavadinis. Though they were not prohibited from marriage most of them preferred to stay unmarried.

New world looks for Brahmavadinis

The practicing of rituals and studying of Vedas had given the boon of the highest philosophical knowledge. They were learned who recited sacred texts after years of studying the holy religious books. They should not be confused with the Sadyovadhu.

As centuries have passed by the population of the Brahmanvadinis has diminished, who can practice and chant mantras. Over time in the modern world, the demand for women ascetics is increasing. Their desire to learn and study Vedas are giving voices to the women. Ancient women of India had a time of equality and progress in terms of learning, who were liberal and independent.

The women scholars were spiritual and intelligent and acquired a high position in society. But over time the status and thought of equality were destroyed pushing them down into darkness. Deprived of education and equality they started suffering leading to the disappearances of Brahmavadinis.

Harish Iyer is one of the equal rights activists who worked for decriminalizing the most cursed relationship of homosexuality. Dedication towards humanity and his approach to changing society set him to apply for a 377 case. Therefore it was in 2018 he was appointed to express his thoughts and speak on his allegations towards the challenges faced by the community.

Harish Iyer, activist and his voice on behalf of Sufferers

Lots of people were hesitant to speak their minds. They were suffering from the pressure of society, moving against their wills. Hiding their nature and behavior was a part of their stress and harshness. But Harish Iyer is one of the people who had spoken against the pressure which they have to face being a transgender or any LGBT.

It is when speaking about rights he mentioned the necessity of having non-heterogeneous people in politics. He said that “Political parties do not have non-heterogeneous people in the party. This is why people like me must join politics to make their space. As there is no one to express our genuine viewpoints”.

While mentioning child abuse, he also recollected the incident he was abused when he was a kid. He said, “I was 7 years only when I was first abused by a male relative and it continued for the next 11 years”.

His early life was not at all normal when there was a lot of suffering. His fear was intense that could not forget his early days of childhood. He said, “I started to fear men”. 

He also said that “at a time while fighting with the mind and the society I decided to commit suicide”. But he was able to survive, which was the turning point in his life. Iyer found a mission to survive and fight for those people who are tired of fighting against the dual existence and child abuses. 

Masculine Appearance and Feminine approach

Defining and pointing out the problems of those kids or people who do appear to be male, possesses masculine features but their approaches are female. Mentally they are not able to accept themselves as male when they are comfortable behaving like a female. He also pointed out the problems they have to face at their workplace or a place of education. 

He said, “Such people cannot succeed at their place of work. As they are abused and bullied”. Raising the voice against discrimination is now no longer based only among genders and castes but also on LGBT and transgenders.

She said that ”life was not easy, as I was a farmer’s child. I had already experienced the hardship due to poverty”. But after marriage, I was not aware that my life will face the same in future”.

Farming of vegetables was not a success as she said that her husband lacked the knowledge and skills of farming. Her father was a farmer who supported them to start their farm in the year 2000. This was also not a booming business as they could hardly make any money from the vegetables that were sold in the market. Whatever vegetables were sold in the market was not enough to ensure profit so that they can ensure to cultivate more vegetables. Overall it was not at all successful which pushed them to think about a new business. 

Depending on business was a necessity as her husband was not able to find a job even after three months in Delhi. The only option was to do something of their own that can provide food to their family.

It is when Krishna Yadav had to think of an alternate way to make a better business. While looking for better options to start a business while continuing with farming.

Memories of home food reminded her of different recipes, she mentioned that “ my mother use to make pickles out of carrots, grandmother and mother are my inspiration”.Vegetables grown at home were healthy and useful to make a variety of preparations. 

Apart from the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, she took training from two other renowned institutions. After which she started to prepare pickles and sell them. Selling at once was not easy but after two to three years of struggle, there was slow growth in her business. People started appreciating her pickle recipes, this was a turning point in her business career. 

Krishna Yadav’s Success after struggles

After an increase in sales at the corner of a road, in 2002 the pickles were slowly sold to the shops. Earlier there was a time when these pickles were not accepted at the grocery shops. In between as there was a demand for the pickles, it is when she further improved skills through pursuing advanced training in pickle making. With the popularity of the Krishna pickles, the small roadside business grew to factories over years of hard work and desire to sustain for ensuring better living for her Kids. She said ‘ I have never got an opportunity to study but I wanted my kids to get the best education”.

Each month the factories supply 50 tonnes approximately, and sold in the market. While managing the deals and sales estimates have been a matter of difficulty for her. Krishna Yadav, the famous entrepreneur said that “My children have completed their studies and now they teach me. And I learn from them”. 

Krishna Yadav and her husband together run their business. Now it has a turnover of 40 million INR every year. Poverty and the necessities led her to struggle and work for her family. She also said that “I started the business to fulfill my needs but I never thought that my work will provide me such a great honor that I will receive an award from the President”.

It has enabled her to trace her way to success, it was all about her desire to push away poverty from her life. This ensured her to give strength to struggle and succeed as an entrepreneur.
