Jallikattu -Traditional sport of Tamil Nadu(India)

Introduction

Jallikattu is an ancient sport. The seals of the Indus Valley civilization depict it, which is proof that this sport was in vogue 5,000 years ago. Ancient Tamil poetry, known as Sangam literature (2nd BCE – 2nd CE), has many detailed references to Eru Thazhuvuthal (hugging the bull).
History

Jallikattu  also known as Eru thazhuvuthal is one of the traditional sport in which a Bos indicus bull is released into a crowd of people. Multiple human participants attempt to grab and tightly "hug" the large hump of the bull and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape. Participants hug the hump for as long as possible, attempting to bring the bull to a stop. In some cases, participants must ride long enough to remove flags affixed to the bull's horns.  Jallikattu is typically practiced in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu as a part of Pongal celebrations on Mattu Pongal day.

Dr. Manimaran , an 82-year-old retired pediatrician from Tamil Nadu, has spent the last 60 years living without medicines, relying entirely on a natural, uncooked diet. His bold vision?

He follows the principle of “Uncooked and Unploughed” (உழாதே சமைக்காதே) —a return to nature in its purest form. According to him, fire (cooking) alters the natural composition of food, making it harder for the body to process and leading to disease. His p...

Balance was tested. Now, the universe must decide what it will become. 🌠 Episode 20 – Shattered Orbits The universe stood on the edge of fracture. Across countless systems, planets drifted—some stabilizing through shared resonance, others spiraling beyond recovery. The old Grid was broken beyond repair. The new balance had not yet formed. Between collapse and rebirth, everything waited. Andrew Elsan stood at the center of the shared resonance network, no longer overwhelmed—no longer uncertain. The weight of leadership pressed heavily on him, but he did not resist it anymore. “This isn’t about replacing the Order,” Andrew said quietly. “It’s about ending the need for one.” Around him, the alliance listened.
