“Food is divided into seven groups. It includes drinks, carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables, dairy, meat/fish/eggs, fats and high-sugar foods. We need at least four groups as humans. Unfortunately, most don’t get even two,” says Dr Shatrughna. She says that providing iron tablets to pregnant women is crisis management to avoid them from dying during the period. A lot of men too have anaemia but they never get mentioned as much as women in this context. The damage caused by anaemia on the health of women (both pregnant and non-pregnant) is immense. The unborn child of a pregnant anaemic woman also bears the burden of the condition. “Severe iron deficiency anaemia during pregnancy increases the risk of premature birth and it restricts intrauterine growth. Low birth weight of babies and postpartum depression are also associated with anaemia. Some studies also show an increased risk of death of the infant just before and after birth due to anaemia,” says Dr Smrithi D Nayak, obstetrics, gynaecology and fertility specialist (consultant) at Aster RV Hospital, Bengaluru. “During pregnancy, the volume of blood in the body increases, and so does the amount of iron that is needed. The body uses iron to make more blood to supply oxygen to the baby. If an expectant mother does not have enough stored iron in the body or she does not get enough iron during pregnancy, she could develop iron deficiency anaemia.”

Monkey Man:
youtube
I watched this new movie trailer Monkey Man and with it Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god.
Usually, I talk about JTTW and Sun Wukong but this new movie trailer inspired me to take a look into this monkey god. Hanuman is the most celebrated and worshipped figure in Indian religion. And said to be the inspiration for Sun Wukong.
(What I wrote I just right what I learned from some research please don't hesitate to commoner below if I got anything wrong or missed anything Thank you. :) )
There are several stories told to explain Hanuman's origins.:
One interpretation Shiva and Parvati decided to transform themselves into monkeys in the forest. As a result, Parvati becomes pregnant. Shiva directs the wind god Vayu to carry the offspring from Parvati's womb to that of Anjana - an Apsara with the form of a monkey who has prayed to be granted a boy.
According to Hindu legends, Hanuman was born to mother Anjana and father Kesari.
Hanuman is also called the son of the deity Vayu (Wind god) because of legends associated with Vayu's role in Hanuman's birth and is said to be the incarnation of Shiva (Destroyer god)
image above (Vayu)
Another tale of his birth is "when Anjana was worshiping Vayu, the King Dasharatha of Ayodhya was also performing the ritual of Putrakameshti yagna to have children. As a result, he received some sacred pudding (payasam) to be shared by his three wives, leading to the births of Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna. By divine ordinance, a kite snatched a fragment of that pudding and dropped it while flying over the forest where Anjana was engaged in worship. Vayu delivered the falling pudding to the outstretched hands of Anjana, who consumed it, leading to the birth of Hanuman".
The majority of the stories contain Vayu and Anjana.
Similar to Wukong Hanuman had a youth full of mischief (usually with the gods and sages) and some familiar powers.
"As a youth Hanuman often abused his powers to pester the saints and holy men living in a nearby forest, with tricks such as beard pulling and the dousing of sacred fires. However, it is as an adult that the monkey god Hanuman comes into his own."
"Indra, the king of the gods, struck Hanuman with a thunderbolt on the jaw(hanu), thus inspiring the name. When Hanuman continued to misbehave, powerful sages cursed him to forget his magic powers, such as the ability to fly or to become infinitely large, until he was reminded of them."
"The god Indra grants Hanuman a wish that his body would be as strong as Indra's Vajra and that his Vajra can also not harm him. Along with Indra other gods have also granted him wishes: the God Agni granted Hanuman a wish that fire won't harm him; God Varuna granted a wish for Hanuman that water won't harm him; God Vayu granted a wish for Hanuman that he will be as fast as wind and the wind won't harm him. Brahma also granted Hanuman a wish that he could move to any place where he could not be stopped. Hence these wishes make Hanuman an immortal, who has unique powers and strength."
"He is said to have transformed into the size of mountain, and flew across the narrow channel to Lanka." "he shrinks down to the size of an ant and sneaks into the city." "Upon arriving, he discovered that there were many herbs along the mountainside, and did not want to take the wrong herb back. So instead, he grew to the size of a mountain, ripped the mountain from the Earth, and flew it back to the battle. "
How the two are not alike is Hanuman was a being who wanted nothing to do with immortality and wanted to serve the Rama. Nothing like the free spirit and immortally seeking Wukong.
"After blessing all those who aided him in the battle with gifts, Rama gave Hanuman his gift, who threw it away. Many court officials, perplexed, were angered by this act. Hanuman replied that rather than needing a gift to remember Rama, he would always be in his heart. Some court officials, still upset, asked him for proof, and Hanuman tore open his chest, which had an image of Rama and Sita on his heart.
Now proven as a true devotee, Rama cured him and blessed him with immortality, but Hanuman refused this and asked only for a place at Rama's feet to worship him. Touched, Rama blessed him with immortality anyway. Like Shesha Nag, Hanuman would live on after the kalpa (destruction of the universe)."
Fun Fact:
The namesake " One interpretation of "Hanuman" is "one having a disfigured jaw". It is due to that earlier tale of Indra striking him as a child in the jaw with a lightning bolt. Because child Hanuman mistook the sun for a fruit and tried to take a bite.
That then leads to the other gods and Indra giving him powers and wishes. There is another version the other is he was burned to ash and was brought back but had a bad jaw when he was restored.
"Though Hanuman is described to be celibate in the Ramayana and most of the Puranas, according to some regional sources, Hanuman married Suvarchala, the daughter of Surya (Sun-God). However, once Hanuman was flying above the seas to go to Lanka, a drop of his sweat fell into the mouth of a crocodile, which eventually turned into a baby. The monkey baby was delivered by the crocodile, who was soon retrieved by Ahiravana, and raised by him, named Makardhwaja, and made the guard of the gates of Patala, the former's kingdom. One day, Hanuman, when going to save Rama and Lakshmana from Ahiravana, faced Makardhwaja and defeated him in combat. Later, after knowing the reality and after saving both, he made his son, the king of Patala.o"
(Can't wait to see the movie Monkey Man when it comes out:))

For the character asks: 1,2,3,4,5,6,12,13,17,18,19,20,27,30 for Lakshmana
1. My first impression of them
I was very young when I first read/watched it, but I do remember immediately liking him as the opposite of Rama, and the audience's stand-in.
2. When I think I truly started to like them (or dislike them, if you've sent me a character I don't like)
I think from the beginning, as his anger on his brother's behalf felt so validating.
3. A song that reminds me of them
No songs, really, other than tunes from 1987 Ramayana.
4. How many people I ship them with
Urmila, Indrajit, Angada... so at least three.
5. My favorite ship of them
Lakshmana/Urmila, despite the popularity of Lakshmana/Indrajit.
6. My least favorite ship of them
Lakshmana/Surpanakha
12. Sexuality hc!
Bi!
13. Your favorite friendship they have
Angada -- their friendship when Lakshmana is ready to destroy Sugriva, is touching, and he names his first son after him.
17. What do you think their first word was?
It's canon that Lakshmana would cry as a baby unless he was placed next to Rama, so it was most likely 'Bhaiyya' or the equivalent of 'Elder brother'
18. How do you think they were as a kid? (Like, were they shy, noisy, wild, etc)
I picture him as being very rebellious and wild, ready to pick a fight over anything, and in adulthood, channeling that into devotion to his elder brother.
19. The most random ship you've seen people have with them
Lakshmana/Indrajit came out of nowhere for me, but I see the appeal of it.
20. A weird headcanon
His and Shatrughna's relationship never really recovered from the fact that Lakshmana was prepared to kill his own twin if he sided with Bharata.
27. If they could meet a character from another show/movie/etc, who would be the most fun for them to meet?
Arun Govil (famous for playing Rama in DD Ramayana) actually played Lakshmana in a 1997 film, so getting Sunil Lahri!Lakshmana to meet his doppelganger who looks like his elder brother would be epic.
30. The funniest scene they had?
Lakshmana climbing a tree and preparing to shoot Bharata while Rama is shouting from below for him to not commit fratricide, again, why has no adaptation added this detail of hilarity?

Written for @flufftober Day 6: Candles, Light and Fairylights.
I know it is meant to be the fluffiest setting, but it reminded me of Diwali and I had a big brain idea of writing about the first Diwali. The welcoming of Ram-Sita in Ayodha. And then it became more of a angst-fest! Sorry?
. . . . . . .
Inhaling the scent of his beloved homeland was like being wrapped in the lovely embrace of his mothers. Ram could hear the drums from the river’s other side, and the music helped him walk a little faster. His brother, Bharat, was waiting with a boat for them, causing whispers to break out in the vanaras following him. He could understand their awe. He had had to assassinate their king because of the dispute between brothers. However, his younger brother had waited for him instead of ascending the throne.
Bharat ran towards them once he spotted them and bent to touch Ram’s feet. He felt Sita stiffening behind him when Bharat touched her feet, but he ignored it for now. Laxman embraced Bharat, clapping him on the back. Ram felt a weight on his shoulders lessen; he was home amongst the family after fourteen long years.
It was the longest boat ride, Ram thought, even though it was filled with the light chatter amongst his vanara warriors and Bharat’s soldiers. Bharat was talking about how well Laxman’s twin, Shatrughna, had handled the day-to-day duties in Ayodhya, but Ram’s attention was fixed on his quiet wife.
Sita was intently looking at her reflection in the water, her eyes full of unshed, angry tears. The dark circles under her fair skin were pronounced, drawing attention to her swollen eyes. Her hands balled into fists when she felt her gaze and folded into herself more. Her bangles made a clinking sound, reminding him of the discord between them. He missed the time when her cheeks sported a lovely blush and he could tease her about it. He missed her warm smiles and her lilting voice whenever they talked.
They hadn’t really talked since he won the war against Ravana, not really. Mostly he had thrown baseless accusations at her and asked her to prove her fidelity because, otherwise, everyone would accuse him of being susceptible to a pretty face. He knew, logically, as the future king he had to put the opinions of his subjects before his own and Sita would understand it. However, he knew he wouldn’t be forgiven, not after informing her he had crossed the seas and waged a war because her kidnapping was a slight on his reputation. It might have been appropriate behavior in front of the army, but was it worth the dimming happiness in her eyes?
She had fallen apart when he had declared that with Ravana slain; she was free to go since he wouldn’t recognize their bond anymore. He knew the king was to put a rock on his own heart, but that had been equivalent to shattering the glass into a thousand pieces with a boulder.
Once she proved him wrong, he had apologized profusely. He had proclaimed he always knew she was innocent and the only reason he had to question it was public opinion. He had announced to the world how she was the only woman he would ever love and how he had drowned in sorrows until he saw her again. Sita had smiled, touched his feet, and asked Laxman if he was alright after the war. In front of an audience, she had been the dutiful wife. Sticking to his left as expected, a striking queen just like a bright lightning against the blue sky. However, in private, she hadn’t deigned him with a single glance, nor let him explain. Those beautiful lotus-shaped eyes had always been glued to the floor when they were alone.
He had missed her so much. Her being next to him was a soothing balm after such a long separation. She had always been his own escape, letting him be whatever he needed. Ironic, how the only relationship that never expected from him had crumbled under the weight of expectations heaped on him by the world. She had been so confidant following him to the exile, stating she would never let the bond between them suffer, no matter what happened. It was her strength, her belief in him that had inspired him to build a bridge across the ocean and kill the kidnapper who had dared to separate them. Ram-Sita had meant to be a unit, forever and always. How he longed to run to her and hug her when she had seen her thin frame in Lanka. He wanted to touch her and ensure she was real; she wouldn’t vanish like she had been disappearing in his nightmares. But no, the moral obligations of the king had trumped the pining husband.
He still dreamt about their happy days, the soft jingling of her anklets whenever she walked towards him. Doe-eyes looking at him with adoration and his name falling off of those soft lips with admiration. He missed the feeling of silky hair as he braided them with beautiful flowers and the contrast of her fair hand in his dark one. Remembered when their nights were filled with conversations and melodious laughter not his longing yearning glances, heartfelt regrets, and her untrusting, suffocating silence. He wished she would shout at him instead, because while he deserved it, her taciturnity hurt a lot more. He was ready for any trial, if only it would allow him to have her in his arms again.
When the boat reached Ayodhya, the sounds of other instruments joined drumbeats. The auspicious notes were welcome after listening to conches, cymbals and trumpets throughout the war. It brought back the days when his life revolved around keeping his family happy. A decorated chariot was waiting for them, along with half of the citizens. Bards were singing in honoring the dutiful son, the dutiful warrior, the dutiful brother, the dutiful protector, the dutiful king…
They showered Sita with a lot of praise for her perseverance, waiting for him to rescue her from the clutches of the vilest monster imaginable. She had been simmering with rage from the second she had boarded the chariot and if he didn’t know she was a daughter of earth, he would have assumed she was a fire-born. Earlier, she had withdrawn her hand from him as if his mere touch burned her. Even though Laxman had never outright said anything, Ram could read him well. His lingering worried gaze on Sita, flickering between regret and sorrow versus the concerned, angry, and sometimes disapproving glances thrown at him, was enough to prove not much had escaped his observant brother. Ram wished Laxman could be spared from the drama, but Laxman had always followed him through thick and thin.
The city was rejoicing. They had found happiness after fourteen years. Hundreds of saffron motifs were shining in the light of lanterns hanging outside every door. Every town square, alley, and the shop front were decorated with brightly colored lamps, illuminating the city. The celebration was in a full swing, with people distributing sweets and setting off fireworks. Ayodhya was ready for a new beginning, a brand-new start with a leader at its helm.
Suddenly the love of citizens felt suffocating, no longer a comfortable blanket but a heavy burden. They would want him to be always perfect and he was deeply flawed. On his previous coronation day, Sita had held his hand and reassured him he would be the greatest king. She had teased him relentlessly about bringing her a co-wife and then promised him she would never be jealous. Her heart was big enough to accept his love for them both. But this time around, he wasn’t so sure about her support.
He dared a glance at her, hoping she might remember that light-hearted conversation. She was lost in her own thoughts, and he wanted to smooth out the small frown on her forehead. Her eyes roamed over the ecstatic people, the shining city, and the royal palace. She squeezed his hand once and pulled away again. Her expression was more of a frown than a smile, but it was a slight gesture of comfort…
Stars in the moonless sky contrasted beautifully with the orange glow of the city, giving it the appearance of the fabled city of the gods. Sita to his left and a hope of her forgiveness was heaven enough for him.

Ram Navami 2023: Date, Meaning, Significance and History of the Festival
What is the origin of Ram Navami?
The Ramayana is a well-known epic. The earliest form of the Ramayana was written by Valmeki in the fourth century B.C.
King Dasharatha of Ayodhya had three wives, according to legend, but they remained barren for many years. As a result, King Dasharatha became quite anxious. Vasishta, a prominent sage, told him to do the Puthra Kamesti Yagna, a sacred ceremony performed to generate a child.
The process was finished by the renowned sage Maharshi Rushya Shrunga, who handed over a bowl of payasam (a dish comprised of milk and rice) and told the king’s women to divide the food.
After nine months, Kausalya gave birth to Lord Shri Ram, Kaikeyi to Bharata, and Sumitra to twins Lakshman and Shatrughna. Lord Rama was born on the Ram Navami Tithi of Chaitra Shukla Paksha, according to Hindu mythology. On this day, the hamlet of Ayodhya celebrated the birth of Lord Ram in one of the most momentous festivities ever conducted. They had no notion that Kausalya’s new born son was God himself, living among them.

5 - DAY PRANAYAMA INTENSIVE :: INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED :: JULY 12-16, 2022 6:00 - 6:45 AM EASTERN TIME (USA) TUESDAY to SATURDAY • Register link in Bio • I found this unusual and beautiful painting of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata & Shatrughna graced by the powerful large presence of Hanuman. It immediately struck me with the realization that if Hanumanji, as the son of Vayu the Wind God, represents the Prana or Life Force, then of course the whole epic of the Ramayana is not going to happen without that moving force. Thus He appears as the central figure. And Sita has Her perfect place as the shakti in the center around which all the dance revolves. Lord Rama and His brothers encircle the energies – something like the dance of electrons around the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom! It is a good idea to get in touch with and allow the Prana to energize and focus us from within the center. Pranayama practice gives us a methodology to manifest this reality in our daily lives.This 5-Day Pranayama Intensive is suitable for intermediate and advanced level practitioners and does require some familiarity with pranayama techniques as well as a well-balanced lifestyle. https://www.instagram.com/p/CeyoB1kLHLP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Ramayana is one of the two great epics of India, attributed to the sage Valmiki. Composed in ancient Sanskrit, it narrates the life and adventures of Prince Rama of Ayodhya, embodying the virtues of dharma (righteousness) and the struggle between good and evil. This epic poem has profoundly influenced art, culture, and religion in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, presenting complex characters and intricate plot developments that explore various human and divine themes.
### The Narrative Structure
The Ramayana consists of seven kandas (books), which detail the birth, youth, adventures, and trials of Rama and his companions. These books are the Bala Kanda, Ayodhya Kanda, Aranya Kanda, Kishkindha Kanda, Sundara Kanda, Yuddha Kanda, and Uttara Kanda.
### Key Characters
1. **Rama** - The protagonist of the epic, Rama is the eldest son of King Dasharatha of Ayodhya and a prince known for his unwavering commitment to righteousness. He is considered an avatar of the god Vishnu.
2. **Sita** - Rama's wife and the daughter of the earth goddess, Bhumi. Sita is revered for her fidelity and virtue.
3. **Lakshmana** - Rama’s devoted brother who chooses to accompany him into exile.
4. **Hanuman** - A devout follower of Rama and one of the central characters in the epic. Hanuman is a vanara (monkey god) who plays a crucial role in the search for Sita.
5. **Ravana** - The main antagonist, Ravana is the ten-headed king of Lanka who abducts Sita, setting off the main conflict in the story.
6. **Dasharatha** - The king of Ayodhya and father of Rama.
7. **Bharata and Shatrughna** - Rama’s other brothers, who also play significant roles in the epic.
### Plot Overview
**Bala Kanda**
This book begins with the divine origins of Rama, describing how the gods requested Vishnu to incarnate as a mortal to defeat the demon king Ravana, who had become invincible. Rama is born to Queen Kausalya after King Dasharatha performs a sacred rite for progeny. The narrative follows Rama's childhood and his training under the sage Vishwamitra, where he earns divine weapons and slays demons.
**Ayodhya Kanda**
Rama is to be crowned king, but Queen Kaikeyi, one of Dasharatha's wives, demands that her son Bharata be made king instead and Rama be exiled for 14 years. Bound by a previous vow, Dasharatha grants her wishes. Rama accepts his exile, and Sita and Lakshmana join him. Dasharatha dies from the agony of separation shortly after their departure.
**Aranya Kanda**
In the forest, the trio encounters various sages and confronts demons. Shurpanakha, a demoness in love with Rama, attacks them but is repelled. In retaliation, Ravana abducts Sita, aided by the deception of Maricha, a demon who transforms into a golden deer.
**Kishkindha Kanda**
Rama and Lakshmana meet Hanuman and the banished monkey king Sugriva. After Rama helps Sugriva regain his kingdom from his brother Vali, Sugriva and his monkey forces vow to find Sita.
**Sundara Kanda**
Hanuman leaps to Lanka, discovers Sita in captivity, reassures her, and proves Rama’s intent to rescue her by showing her Rama’s ring. Hanuman's burning of Lanka marks his escape back to Rama with Sita's whereabouts.
**Yuddha Kanda**
Rama, aided by an army of monkeys, builds a bridge to Lanka. A great battle ensues, during which Rama slays Ravana and liberates Sita. To prove her chastity, Sita undergoes a trial by fire, emerging unscathed.
**Uttara Kanda**
This final book covers Rama’s return to Ayodhya, his coronation, and his reign. It also deals with the banishment of Sita following the populace's gossip about her purity, her subsequent refuge in the hermitage of Valmiki, and the birth and upbringing of her twin sons, Lava and Kusha. The epic concludes with Rama's departure from the earth, marking the completion of his divine mission.
### Themes and Conflict
The central conflict of the Ramayana is the struggle between good (Rama) and evil (Ravana), encapsulated in the abduction of Sita and her rescue. The narrative explores themes of duty, righteousness, loyalty, the ideal rulership, and the complexities of moral decisions. Each character embodies different aspects of human and divine nature, making the Ramayana a rich tapestry of moral and philosophical teachings.
In summary, the Ramayana is not only a gripping narrative of an epic quest and cosmic battle but also a profound meditation on the duties and dilemmas faced by individuals and leaders. Its enduring popularity attests to its deep emotional and ethical resonance across generations and geographies.

Raja Dasharatha – Story Of Lord Ram’s Birth
Dasharatha was the father of Lord Rama. Dasharatha ruled the kingdom of Ayodhya and was a righteous and just ruler. He had three wives, Kausalya, Sumitra, and Kaikeyi, but was unable to have children. King Dashratha sought advice from Sage Vashistha who recommended him to perform a Putrakameshthi Yagya. Following the advice of Sage Vashishta, King Dashratha performed the Yagya. Rishishringa Muni was the chief priest of the yagya performed by King Dasharatha.
Putrakameshti Yajna is a specific type of yajna performed to fulfil the desire of having a child. (Book now!)
In the yagya, the priests offered various sacred materials and herbs, into the sacrificial fire while chanting Rigveda’s Purusha. The ceremony was performed with great devotion and austerity, and Agnideva appeared before Dasharatha and gave him a bowl of sweet rice pudding to be divided among his wives.
Kausalya, Sumitra, and Kaikeyi each consumed a portion of the pudding, after which they became pregnant and gave birth to Rama, Lakshmana, Shatrughna, and Bharata, respectively.

India has had an anaemia control programme for more than five decades but it has failed to reduce the high percentage of anaemic women and children. Dr Veena Shatrughna, a clinical nutritionist and retired deputy director of National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad, says, “To fight anaemia we have to understand what the majority of people are eating. “If we look around, we see the majority of the population is eating rice and watery sambar in south India and rotis (wheat) with salt and onion in north India. They can’t afford to buy vegetables and meat which are rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, zinc, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and selenium. Because of high inflation and lack of employment opportunities, both in the formal and informal sectors, most people are sacrificing their food. They have become very expensive. People have to spend on other essentials like house rent, electricity bill, education and medicine, to name a few.”

It is the birthplace of Rama, Laxman, Bharat, and Shatrughna. The places and temples in Ayodhya depict the legends of the Ramayana through their architecture, verse written on walls, religious and spiritual living, and the folklore of the people of Ayodhya. Ayodhya is one of the most visited pilgrimages for Hindus, and the Hindu god Rama is the most worshipped god in Ayodhya.

Lakshman + 4 headcanons?
Headcanon A: realistic
He is most loyal to Rama, but no one has ever understood him as innately as his twin Shatrughna does.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
Lakshmana has chronic jaw pain from how often he's grinding his teeth.
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
He accuses Urmila of having no right to judge him because she had it easy sleeping fourteen years and never made any difficult choices, and it creates a terrible rift between them for a while.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
He ditches Rama after Vanvass 2.0 and lives with Sita, the twins, and Urmila in the forest.
