The living goddess of Nepal - Kumari
I recently watched a TV report on goddess in Nepal. And I want to share with you what I learned. I hope you enjoy reading this story.
Namely, in the capital of Nepal, there are girls of the goddess, aged from 3 to 12, who were chosen by the priests themselves, respecting them as the most powerful goddesses of Nepal.
The priest's wife examines the chosen girl. The girl must meet very strict criteria - 32 attributes of perfection, which, among other things, include belonging to the goldsmith's caste, having black hair, black eyes, good health, and as a person exudes calmness and fearlessness.
During the entire period when the goddess is present in the child's body, the girl can leave her palace only 13 times a year, during special holidays, when she is performed on a golden pedestal.
After the first drop of blood is released from Kumari's body, whether it is the beginning of the menstrual cycle or the loss of a tooth, the deity leaves her body and the priests start looking for a new girl who will be Kumari.
Kumari's main job is to receive visitors. Many believing Nepalese go to her, kissing her holy feet and offering gifts. Even the king throws himself at her feet.
Kumari must not eat eggs, meat, wear shoes and touch those who have any skin disease.
Kumari must not show emotions. And they are not allowed to talk to anyone except their family members.
The life of the former Kumari is a bit difficult! It's hard for them to find friends. And also, for she to get married. Because there is a belief that the one who marries the former Kumari, will die coughing up blood!
Today, the goddesses of the goddess crown the king and receive him in their chambers to bless him. Therefore, it is a great honor to have a child who will be chosen to be the royal cucumber. Only one cucumber is elected every eight years. Interested parents must hand the child over to a board of priests and a royal astrologer who will study her horoscope in detail to make sure she does not clash with the king.
**How did Kumari come about?**
Kumari (derived from the Sanskrit word Kaumarya meaning princess) or living goddesses are girls who have not yet reached puberty (some are as young as one year old) and are considered an earthly manifestation of divine feminine energy, the incarnation of a goddess known as Taleju (Nepalese name for Durga ).
According to legend, the goddess Taleju gave advice to the Nepalese king on how to rule the country. When she felt that he had unclean feelings for her, she disappeared from the face of the earth. The king was desperate for that loss, until the goddess appeared to him in a dream and said that he would return to the world of people in the sinless body of a girl from the caste of goldsmiths - like a royal cucumber.
This was a short story about living goddesses in Nepal. I don't know what it's like for these girls, they give up playing with their peers, and many other beautiful moments from their childhood. And on the other hand they are honored to be goddesses!
BEST REGARDS!

Spelled sprouts: a healthy diet and medicine
Spelled or large grain (lat. Triticum spelta) is the closest relative of today's wheat, but with a far better and healthier effect on our body than all assortments of "modern" wheat.
It is noted in the documents that this cereal is 9000 years old and it can be freely said that due to its low yield, it is not interesting for genetic modification and because of the specifics of further processing it is considered "non-profit". In ancient Rome, spelled was given to the army during long marches as well as to racehorses as high-energy food. Spelled seeds have a thicker bark than common wheat and are thus far more resistant to colder weather conditions, as well as a far lower possibility of grain contamination with pesticides and other aero factors. It thrives better in colder climates and today it is mostly grown in Germany, Finland, Belgium and Switzerland, which also justifies the higher price compared to other cereals.
Spelled is a "soft grain" cereal, warm (it is best to consume it in winter and spring), and compared to modern types of wheat, spelled is with a significantly lower percentage of gluten!
**What can we do with this wonderful grain and how does it affect our organism?**
1) Germination of grains: in this process we get spelled sprouts, later spelled grass. Spelled sprouts can be used as an addition to salads, sandwiches, soups, stews, etc. "Energy bomb" and the effect of this drink is equal to the transfusion of blood plasma!
**1 daily dose of Spelta juice changes 1.5 kg of different vegetables!**
2) From spelled flour we get excellent bread, pastries and cakes, here I advise you not to "run away" from fresh yeast because fresh yeast evaporates during baking and in baked products remains in traces and spelled flour does not have "modified" gluten for which tied up and became dangerous!
3) You can prepare porridge from spelled semolina, with the addition of honey, fresh and dried fruit, nuts, for gourmets with the addition of cheese, cream or sour milk, an exquisite breakfast meal.
4) By combining with other cereals or sprouts of other cereals, you can create your bravado to infinity, all to adapt to your time and needs. You can use it as a base for salty and sweet dishes (boiled beans), as risotto, moussaka, salads, desserts…
Spelled is rich in nutrients, amino acids, the body recognizes them, they quickly enter the bloodstream and do not burden the digestive tract. It raises immunity (spelled is an aid in Germany for the most severe immune diseases, has an exceptional effect on the nervous and skeletal system, has been studied in patients with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) and helps cell renewal, even in people over 65 years.
It is exceptional for the intestinal and digestive tract. It is a cleanser and guardian of the liver and pancreas, it helps with all digestive disorders and the consequences that arise.
Spelta should be in our diet and our children's diet at least once a day.
A great natural addition to athletes for strength, explosiveness and endurance!

Cuban cigarillos and tompus
Cuban cigarillos and tompus are definitely the most famous type of cigarette in the world. Tobacco has been grown in Cuba for centuries, and cigarettes began to be produced during Spanish colonization during the reign of King Philip II (1527-1598). Today, both the production of cigarettes and their export are under the strict control of the Cuban government, so it is very difficult to find them in the rest of the world.
**Production**
Cuban cigarettes have been produced for centuries. What is specific for them is that they have been produced in the same, traditional way for hundreds of years. There is also information that about a hundred rules for their production must be followed.
Every cigarette has to be perfect, every pack has to be perfect. Meeting the strictest standards starts from the very cultivation of tobacco. The soil must be fertilized with the best fertilizer, tobacco must have the best conditions for its growth, to get enough sun and rain, to be protected from pests.
It goes so far as to separate the parts of the tobacco that are sick, eaten or cut from those that are healthy. That imperfect tobacco is sold as cheaper. Some companies are fully committed to copying the highest quality Cuban cigarettes, so they often buy this tobacco of secondary quality.
Further, healthy tobacco is separated and dried separately in strictly controlled conditions. Every mistake in production is not tolerated, such products are also sold at lower prices.
This kind of production is practically passed from generation to generation. Cubans are family involved in tobacco growing, cigarette making and sales.
**The Cuban Revolution**
During the 1950s, the situation in Cuba became quite tense. The Cubans set out to fight American imperialism, overthrowing the then ruler, Flugencio Batista. The leader of that revolution was Fidel Castro, together with Che Guevara.
This was followed by the US economic embargo on Cuba. Until then, most exports from this island country went to the United States, but that situation has changed since then.
Fidel Castro, who was a big fan of Cuban cigarettes, said that his favorite brand of cigarettes was Kohiba. He could often be seen smoking in public, and he also often gave them as gifts to world public officials.
**The difference between fake and original tompus**
Cuban cigarettes are extremely expensive even in Cuba. If someone offers them to you at a low price or at a discount, that is the first sign that it is not the original.
The boxes state exactly that the cigarettes are handmade (**totalmente a mano**), below is the factory that made the cigarettes, as well as the date with the information when the cigarettes were packed in the box. Fake tompus usually do not contain all this information.
You can recognize the original Cuban cigarettes by their taste. The highest quality Cuban tobacco is far stronger than any other cigarette you have tried. It has a specific taste, which is not tolerable even for many smokers with "long experience". There is no difference in quality between cigarettes, each has an identical taste and provides complete enjoyment.
Best regards!
