The Science of Fasting

🔬 The Science of Fasting Where Ancient Siddha Wisdom Meets Modern Nobel Prize Research 🌿 Introduction What if the secrets of cutting-edge science were already known thousands of years ago? Imagine a Tamil Siddha meditating in a mountain cave and a modern scientist observing cells through a microscope—both arriving at the same truth. In 2016, Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize for discovering Autophagy , a cellular self-cleaning process. Yet, this concept mirrors the ancient Siddha practice of fasting, known as Lankanam . This blog explores how fasting is not starvation—but a powerful internal healing mechanism , almost like performing “surgery” without a scalpel. 🔥 1. Two Perspectives: Jatharagni vs. Autophagy 🪔 The Siddha View: Burning “Amam” In Siddha philosophy, health revolves around Jatharagni —the digestive fire. Constant eating = dumping wet wood into fire Weak digestion = formation of Amam (toxins) These toxins accumulate in joints and organs → disease 👉 When you fast, ...

🕯️ International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism( November 9)

 Remembering the Past. Fighting for the Future.
✍️ By CRA | https://craarts.blogspot.com

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
— George Santayana

Every year on November 9, people around the world mark the International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism, a powerful reminder of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust and a clarion call to resist hate in all its forms.

This observance is initiated by the UNITED for Intercultural Action Network, a European grassroots movement promoting human rights, equality, and solidarity.

🕯️ Why November 9?

This date marks the anniversary of Kristallnacht, or the “Night of Broken Glass”, which occurred on November 9–10, 1938 in Nazi Germany. Synagogues were torched, Jewish homes and businesses were destroyed, and nearly 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps. It was a horrifying prelude to the Holocaust.

The memory of Kristallnacht urges us to confront the dangerous rise of:

  • ❌ Fascist ideologies

  • ❌ Racism, xenophobia, and hate speech

  • ❌ Antisemitism and Holocaust denial

✊ A Day of Action, Not Just Remembrance

While this day honors the victims of fascism and antisemitism, it also energizes communities to take action:

  • 🗣️ Educate yourself and others about the Holocaust and fascist regimes

  • 🎨 Create art, literature, or music that promotes tolerance and diversity

  • 🕊️ Participate in vigils, memorials, or solidarity events

  • 📱 Share awareness posts with hashtags like #NoMoreHate and #RememberKristallnacht

  • 🧩 Support groups fighting hate crimes and extremist ideologies

🎨 Artistic Reflection: Painting Against Hate

As an artist, I believe art is resistance. A single image — a shadowed menorah, a torn passport, a broken window under moonlight — can carry the weight of memory and the spark of awakening. Art humanizes history. It confronts silence. It connects generations.

Let us use our creative voices to challenge bigotry and inspire change.

🌍 A Universal Message

Though rooted in European history, this day holds global relevance. Across the world, we continue to see the effects of extremist ideologies: antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism, and authoritarianism.

By acknowledging history, we shape a future grounded in:

  • 🕊️ Peace

  • ⚖️ Justice

  • 👫 Inclusion

  • 📚 Education

  • 🖼️ Creative resistance

📌 Final Word

The International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism is not just a memorial. It is a moral checkpoint — for individuals, communities, and nations. Let’s not only remember the past but defend the dignity of every human being, today and always.
