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, ...

🌐 World Without Wi-Fi Day

 


📅 An Unofficial Observance That Reminds Us to Log Out to Tune In
✍️ By CRA | https://craarts.blogspot.com


“In a world of instant connection, what happens when we simply… disconnect?”

Today marks World Without Wi-Fi Day — an unofficial yet increasingly popular observance that challenges us to experience life without the invisible threads of constant internet access. It’s a day to unplug from the web and plug into the world.


📡 Why a Day Without Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi is one of the greatest conveniences of the 21st century. It fuels:

  • Global communication

  • Remote work and education

  • Streaming, gaming, and creativity

  • Social media, shopping, and navigation

But have you ever wondered:
What does the world feel like without the signal?

World Without Wi-Fi Day encourages us to:
🔌 Pause.
🔌 Reflect.
🔌 Rediscover the analog joys of life.


🧘‍♂️ Rediscovering Real Connections

Imagine this:

  • A day spent reading a paperback, not a PDF

  • Walking through nature without GPS

  • Drawing, journaling, or painting—without tutorials

  • Talking face-to-face instead of emoji reactions

This isn’t anti-technology—it’s a refresh button for the mind and soul.


🎨 An Artist’s Wi-Fi-Free Muse

As an artist, I often find that my purest inspiration comes not from pixels, but from presence:

  • Watching light fall on a leaf

  • Sketching in silence

  • Letting my thoughts flow onto canvas instead of screen

A Wi-Fi-free day is a gift for the imagination.


📋 Ideas to Celebrate World Without Wi-Fi Day

🔹 Go offline for 2–12 hours—set a timer and stick to it
🔹 Visit a local gallery, museum, or park
🔹 Journal your thoughts without filters or hashtags
🔹 Make a handcrafted card for someone you care about
🔹 Start a painting, poem, or puzzle
🔹 Cook a recipe from memory, not Google
🔹 Just sit… and be


🌍 The Bigger Message

World Without Wi-Fi Day isn’t about rejecting the digital—it’s about balancing it.
It’s about reclaiming time, focusing attention, and living with intention.

One day without Wi-Fi might just reconnect us to the most important network—our own heart, community, and creativity.


📌 Stay inspired and grounded at https://craarts.blogspot.com
Let’s celebrate both connection and disconnection—in rhythm with art and life.
