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.

🌍 World Adoption Day( November 9)

Celebrating Love, Belonging, and New Beginnings
✍️ By CRA | https://craarts.blogspot.com

“Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone, but still miraculously my own.”
— Fleur Conkling Heyliger

Since 2014, World Adoption Day has been observed globally on November 9, bringing awareness, celebration, and compassion to the beautiful act of adoption. This special day is about family in all its forms—about hearts that choose, embrace, and heal.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why World Adoption Day Matters

Adoption is more than a legal process—it is a love story. Every year, thousands of children across the world find homes through adoption, and countless families find purpose and fulfillment through this act of unconditional giving.

World Adoption Day is a moment to:

  • 🌱 Honor adoptive families and adoptees

  • 💙 Raise awareness about adoption needs and processes

  • ✨ Celebrate the unique stories of chosen love

  • 🤝 Support organizations that connect children with homes

🖐️ The Iconic Symbol: A Smile on the Hand

On this day, people around the world draw a simple smiley face on their palm and share it on social media. This global gesture has become a beacon of hope, connection, and solidarity—a universal language saying, “Every child deserves a family.”

🖐️🙂 Join in. One smile can light up a world.

🎨 Art, Emotion & Family: The CRA Reflection

As an artist, I often view family not as a structure, but as a symphony of souls. Adoption, to me, is an invisible thread that ties lives together with colors of hope, resilience, and renewal. A painting of a hand holding another—not by birth but by choice—says more than a thousand words.

Adoption paints stories with strokes of courage.

🌎 Did You Know?

  • Over 140 million children worldwide are orphans or vulnerable.

  • In some countries, adoption laws are evolving to better protect children’s rights.

  • Many adoptees grow up to become leaders, artists, and changemakers, proving that love—not lineage—shapes greatness.

🤝 How You Can Support

Whether or not adoption touches your life personally, you can:

  • 🎗 Donate to or volunteer with adoption agencies and foster programs

  • 🧸 Share a smiley hand photo to spread awareness

  • 📖 Learn and educate others about ethical adoption practices

  • 💬 Celebrate adoptees and adoptive parents in your community

🕊️ Final Thought

World Adoption Day reminds us that family is found, not just born. That every child deserves belonging, and every act of adoption is an act of bravery and boundless love.

So, today—draw a smile, lift a heart, and celebrate the miracle of chosen bonds.
