Karkati is a Demoness. In Yoga Vasishtha she is a benevolent demoness. Her form is ala a 'needle'. She is linked to an epidemic called VishUci, which Yoga Vasishtha's Telugu language have interpreted as Cholera. Karkati, to satiate her hunger , was moving in Himalayas, searching for food. Karkati came across a king and his minister . Being a wise demoness, she did not directly venture into devoring them. She placed before them a set of ten questions about wisdom. The king and his minister answered them with equal wisdom .

After the king 's minister answered the questions asked by Karkati satisfactorily , she and the King & his minister develop friendship. After some mutual praise , Karkati narrates her food needs , food habits and preferences. Then, the king and his minister request the Demoness to save their country from heart throbs and Cholera. Karkati consents to it and teaches them a magical chant for overcoming cholera and heart throbs , after they bathe, and approach her in cleaner states of body and mind . In return, the king and his minister promise the Demoness Karkati, food, in the form of 'vadhya jIvis' (Creatures worthy of getting killed and eaten).

Who are these edible humans selected by the king and his minister ?

One Sanskrit Verse is worth quoting here:
atha tE pArthiva griham prApya tAm rajani mithaha kathaika gruhE ramyE kshapayAmAsurAhataAha.
prabhAtE antaha purE tasthau purandhI janalilayA rAkshasI mantri rAjanau sva vyApArE babhUvatuhu.
tatO divasa shaTkEna sancitAni mahIbhritAha nrupaha parapurEbhyO api svamanDala gaNAntathA.
ThriNi vadhya sahasrANi tAni tasyau dadau.

English gist : Then, they take her to their palace. She spends the night in a good room talking with the king and his minister . Next morning the king and his minister go in search of killable people . They collect some 3000 killable persons in six days, both from their own country and neighbor countries . They hand over all such killable people to the Demoness Karkati of Needle Forms.

Sanskrit verse: sA babhUva nishA kAlE
saivOgrA krishNA rAkshasI
tAni vadhya sahasrAha jagrAha
bhuja manDalE yayau
rAjA namAs pruchchya tadaiva himavat siraha.
daridrA labdha hEmEva grahEshu ugra SarIrINI tatra
tripta bhriSam , bhuktvA sukham suptvA
dinatrayam AasIt prabOdha sukhasthA
sA samAdhi matihi punaha.

English gist : Night, she recaptures her original giant body, carries all the killable persons to the Himalayas after taking leave from king and his minister, overjoyed like a poor women who found a mound of gold. She ate them to her delight and slept for 3 days. She went into a blissful samAdhi (a sort of loss of consciousness, which Seekers claim to go into, when they meditate ).

This process repeats every four or five years , i.e. the Demoness gs

SOME COMPARISONS WITH THE 21ST CENTURY


Some of the 21st Century Rulers of India seem to think that they can take the country to mythological ages .

With malice towards none: As Indians we have great respect towards our Prime Minister . He carries Bhagavad Gita to all the countries he visits. He might have studied Yoga Vasishtha too in great depth. Now as Indians what we can wish is, he as Prime Minister and Shri Ramnath Kovind as King (as President of India, he is equal to king of India ), may please explore Kedarnath, Badarinath Area to seek out the Demoness Corona, who may be an incarnation of the Demoness Karkati, answer her questions of wisdom , bring her to Delhi, and get protections from her against the deadly Corona. It is how our Kirata King and his Minister in Yoga Vasishta, Utpatti Prakaranam, Chapters 69 to 73 saved us from the deadly diseases.

My fantasy with no malice towards anybody


Mr. Donald Trump, President of US, is believed to be playing Golf, while his country is being devasted with Corona Virus. Mr. Narendra Modi, Hon. Prime Minister of India may be in his Yoga Nidra. My fantasy is: If Mr. Trump takes to Yoga Nidra, and Mr. Modi takes to Golf?

1 Boiled rice or lime immaterial, but we shall eat rice only

Thank U friend.  I do not believe in the existence of spirit.  The feeling of 'I', 'My' are born out of sanga (attachment) with the body.  The idea of 'sAkshIbhUtam' (we witness what we do, thinking that this body is not 'I', has been espoused by St. Thyagaraja in his kIrtana 'manasu svAdhInamain' in rAga SankarAbharaNam,  which you can have a look at in any Carnatic music book or any Carnatic music site.  This is simpler than kapila's SAnkhya philosophy which is more enamoured with numbers such as  panca bhUtams, pancha tanmAtras, mano buddhyahankAra cittams, most of which represent metaphysical imaginations.  Whether we like it or not, the truth remains, that we are the body, and we are bound to take care of it giving food, bath, titillations and so on.  At the same-time, tintinnabulations should ring within us continuously to remind us that we as a body are nearly-non-existent when viewed in a time frame of infinity.  This simultaneous du

The following is a poem in Telugu language spoken by 100 million people. It has rich literature of 1st Century CE origin or even earlier. But,written poetry is available , as at 2021, only from 10th Century A.d. The following is one poem composed by Yogi Vemana of 15th Century circa. Along with the Telugu script, the verse is repeated below in Romanscript. AaTa veladi. Meaning Dancing lass. (Name of the prosody meter of the verse. This Kandam verse's meter is very advanced with numeruus features). నీవు నిలిచియుండు నిఖిలంబు నిలువదు nIvu nilaci yunDu, nikhilambu niluvadu నిలిచియుండు నెండు నీరువలెను nilachi yundu enDU nIru valenu నీవు నిశ్చయంబు నిఖిలంబు మాయయౌ nIvu nischyambu, nikhilambu mAya yau విశ్వదాభిరామ వినర వేమ! viSvada abhi rAma ! vinura vEmA ! vemana satakam వేమన శతకం . Satakam means a hundred verses. 100 verses or Satakam can become a small A5 booklet of about 40 pages. But, Vemana did not write just 100 verses. About 2500 of Vemana's verses have
