On the second phase of my TTC they served lots of cauliflower. We had
cauliflower pakoras (actually quite good), cauliflower spaghetti, etc,
etc. By the time the course was over folks were sick of cauliflower.
Wonder if many of them ever ate it again? :-D
Regarding Ganesh, he is "associated" with wisdom. Hence Ganesh mantras
like "Om Gung Ganeshaya Namaha" are powerful anti-kapha mantras which
will help clear the head.

Share, I have always wondered about how the human brain resembles
cauliflower. Think of how much Vedic knowledge could be mined from
that vegetable. Title: Veda and Brassica oleracea. I think that would
appeal to vegetarians, as unlike the brain, it is not made of meat.

salyavin, I think you were the one asking about Ganesh. Dr. Nader's
insights begin on pg. 341 of his book on Veda and human physiology.
Makes me appreciate his genius again. The illustrations clearly show
the resemblance to the human brain and even specific parts: the pons,
medulla, cerebellum, trigeminal and other nerves.

Yes, we have no religion.
The trouble with your interpretation is that it sounds like you want
to have your cake and eat it. Best of both worlds. Trouble is, it
isn't what he means. I read his first book of discoveries and the
claim is that vedic literature is present in human physiology. Not a
metaphor, actually present. And responsible for. He claims to have a
one-to-one correlation between Indian stories and the human body. I
bet I could find similar coincidences with, say, the works of Steven
King. Just read the section on jyotish, all the planets have a direct
connection to parts of the brain, this is offered as an explanation
for the "physics" of astrology but not all the planets are represented
because the ancients didn't know about anything beyond the orbit of
Saturn due to them not having telescopes.
You can go through the whole book like that, it makes no sense and is
astoundingly poor science, but it's used as justification for
"modalities" like MVVT and other new age dropsy like yagya's. Believe
one and you get an idea of how the rest of it works. Except it
doesn't. Obviously, not beyond the expectations of a placebo anyway.
And the idea of deities as "aspects of natural law" sounds unfortunate
to me, because the laws of nature are even less likely to change
because of prayers than the god's appear to be. This is because they
are laws rather than reasonable beings, laws don't change, that's what
makes them reliable and stops the universe falling apart.

My interpretation of what he said is that the Ramayana can be seen as
(among other things) an extended metaphor for how the human nervous
system operates, with one-to-one correspondence between various
literary/plot elements in the book, and actual aspects of our physical
nervous system and how the parts interact.
So, from THAT perspective, the battles of the Ramayana can be seen as
taking place in our bodies.
