CULTURAL QA 12202318A
Q1 Are bananas good for enlarged prostate?
KR Very good material for revision and shall be repeated often
Q2 What is the importance of durva grass in worshipping Lord Ganesha?
KR 1 Mr Gopalakrishnan gets wild, when I say that, he wasted his and
others time, by eliciting imperfect, unworthy materials from half-cocked
Brazilians. Or he may request his mentor sinner to present
“present-perfect” at least. As an Iyer 80 years, who did Gaya and all,
should he not know what is Durva-grass? Both adopt a very good technique to
learn without begging to learn viz by commanding; as Thangavelu Joke, I
KNOW IT, BUT I WANTED TO TERST YOU WHETHER YOU KNOW IT STYLE.
2 Dūrvā (दूर्वा) refers to Cynodon dactylon, and is used in the
treatment of sarvaroga, according to sections on Horses (Gajāyurveda or
Aśvāyurveda) in the Garuḍapurāṇa.—[Dūrvā-kalpa for the management of
sarvaroga]—In the management of sarvaroga just like vardhamāna
pippalī-kalpa, Dūrvā (Cynodon dactylon) is advised to take in increasing
doses. The details are as follows:—One Karṣa dūrvā should be given to a
horse on the first day, and the dose should be increased by a Karṣa
measure, each day, till the dose reaches five Pala. During this treatment
Eighty Pala pāna (drinks) or bhojana (diet) is considered as para/uttama
(best/maximum), Sixty Pala is the madhyama (average) and forty Pala is the
adhama (lowest/ minimum).
3 Dūrvā (दूर्वा) refers to a type of grass (Agrostis linearis),
according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 5), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work
written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian
astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “If there should be both lunar
and solar eclipses in one month, princes will suffer both from dissensions
among their own army and from wars. [...] If the eclipsed disc should
appear yellow resembling the topaz in colour, the Vaiśyas will perish and
there will be prosperity in the land. If the disc should appear to be
burning, there will be fear from fire; if it should resemble gold ore,
there will be wars in the land. If the disc should appear black resembling
the colour of the stem of dūrvā grass [i.e., dūrvā-kāṇḍa] or yellow, there
will be much death in the land. If of the colour of the flower pāṭali
(Bignonia Suaveolenis) ‘trumpet flower’ there will be fear from lightning”.
4 Dūrvā (दूर्वा) refers to one of the items offered to the nine
planets (navagraha), according to the grahaśānti (cf. grahayajña) section
of the Yājñavalkyasmṛti (1.295-309), preceded by the section called
vināyakakalpa (1.271-294), prescribing a rite to be offered to
Vināyaka.—[verse 302-303: Faggots to be burned]—These two verses prescribe
different faggots to be burned for grahas with offerings of honey, ghee,
dadhi, and milk. It is interesting to note that some of the faggots (i.e.
parāśa, khadira, pippala, and śamī) mentioned here are also used in the
Suśrutasaṃhitā in the context (Uttaratantra chapters 27-37) of curing the
diseases caused by grahas, which, in this case, are not planetary. [verse
304-305: Cooked rice (odana) to be offered to grahas]
5 Rig Veda 10.16.13
yaṃ tvam agne samadahas tam u nir vāpayā punaḥ | kiyāmbv atra rohatu pāka
dūrvā vyalkaśā ||“Cool again, Agni, the spot which you have burned, there
let the water- lily grow, and the ripe Durvawith its many stalks.”
Details:

6 A plaster composed of Haritaki, Vidanga, Haridra, white Sarshapa,
Somaraja-seeds (roots according to Benares Edition), Karanja seeds and
Sanidhavam, pasted together with cow’s urine, proves efficacious in all
forms of cutaneous affections. One part of Triphala and two parts of
Somaraja seeds taken in combination with powdered Pathya cure ring-worms. A
plaster composed Kharam rubbed in a vessel of Indian bell metal, pasted
with cow’s urine, cooked in combination with rock-salt and acid whey
(Takram), prove curative in all forms of cutaneous affections. A plaster
composed of Haridra, Haritalam, Durva grass and rock-salt pasted together
with cow’s urine proves remedial in cases of Pama and ringworm. Somaraja
seeds taken in combination with butter and honey prove curative in all
forms of leukoderma. O Rudra, the cure is almost certain through the
administration of the foregoing compound, but the patient must live on a
whey-rice regimen during the period of treatment.
Q3 What is the single most important thing you have learned in your
life?
G My note- I am very very happy to add this QA. Some members write
adverse about my QA postings. If I listen to them I will be like the shop
owner.
KR ada koka maka; that is what G is; he does not read; he reads
useless stuff Quora; but he never understand anything worth; but always
presume the brightest star of the universe, calling names of others as
Sarvagna etc; GOD gave brain to think; ears to listen; and eyes to see; and
the brain, many like G lacks to analyse and sift; so it is not listening to
is wrong; but the impulsive ways to act to whosoever command I wrong;
instead of wring wrong English and appreciating Butler English and finding
fault (as urchin’s) over ALSO TYPED AS AKSO , better improve the mind to
sustained energy of good. I had written 1000 times; epporul yar vaik
ketpinum, apporul, meip porul kanbadhu arivu; and Karka, kasadara, katrapin
nirka adharkkuthaga. But he does not read anything Good. But what he reads?
“some members write adverse about my QA postings”; SO THE Q&A IS HIS; AND
HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRESENTAION-THAT IS WHAT I SAY; BUT WHENEVER
ERRED, HE DISOWNED AND BLAMED THE OTHER AS HE LABLED IT. BUIT WANTS CREDIT
FOR ALL OF THEM WHICH HE DOES NOT OWN; OR HE FEELS THEY ADVERSE ONLY
AGAINST HIM; IF SO, SHOUL HE NOT REMOVE THE ADVERSE BY AUTHENTIC MATERIALS?
HAD HE EVER DONE IT? NO; SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? THEY ARE REALLY BAD
MATERIALS AND ADVERSE IS CORRECT; WHO TO BLAME IF HE IS THE CAUSE AND
EFFECT OF HIS OWN ACTION?
This is an old story with different words coined and so the world had
read it long ago; and already all know a proverb: SOL BUDDIYUM KIDAYATHU;
SUYA BUDHIYUM KIDAYATHU;(NEITHER LISTNES TO ADVISES NOR THINKS ON HIS OWN)
; and King was riding along; a sparrow said to his wife, this king will
only listen to him; and so when the King was close by, dropped an object
and asked whether anyone would help the sparrow; King thinking the bird as
citizen of the community, git down from the horse and to the fallen article
and gave it to sparrow; then rode on; but the sparrow said SEE, THE KING
GOT JITTERY AND OBEYED HIS ORDEER. Thus the tongue would twit fro a few
people like author.

Q1 Are bananas good for enlarged prostate?
A1 Teamedical, Experienced Medical Team Sep 4
Bananas have long been considered a staple in a balanced and healthy diet,
full or essential vitamins and minerals. But did you know that they could
also offer health benefits to those with an enlarged prostate? Studies have
found that eating bananas could actually help with the symptoms of an
enlarged prostate.
The enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia, is a common
condition in men over the age of 50. It happens when the prostate gland
enlarges, putting pressure on the urethra and bladder, which can cause
difficulty with urination, as well as other symptoms.
It is believed that the high levels of antioxidants and other nutrients in
bananas may help to reduce inflammation, which is the underlying cause of
an enlarged prostate. Bananas are also rich in vitamins B6 and C, as well
as magnesium, which are all known to reduce inflammation. Furthermore, the
potassium and magnesium found in bananas help to relax the muscles, which
helps to reduce the pressure on the bladder.
Bananas may also be beneficial for other symptoms of an enlarged prostate,
like difficulty sleeping. This is because bananas are rich in tryptophan,
which is an amino acid that helps to produce serotonin. Serotonin is a
neurotransmitter that helps to regulate mood, making it a natural sleep aid.
In addition to their healing qualities, bananas are low in fat and
calories, making them a great snack option for people looking to manage
their weight. Additionally, they are a great source of fibre, which can
help to keep your digestive system healthy.
If you have an enlarged prostate and are looking for natural ways to help
manage your symptoms, adding bananas to your diet is certainly worth
considering. Try adding a banana to your breakfast or snack routine each
day, and see how you feel. However, it is important to remember that diet
and lifestyle modifications alone are not always sufficient to manage the
symptoms of an enlarged prostate. If you are experiencing any bothersome
symptoms, it is important to speak to your doctor to discuss the best
treatment option for you.
MY note-Importance of plantain in healing prostate enlargement is new to
me. However I am told by my nephrologist that plantains can have adverse
effect in Kidneys -
Q2 What is the importance of durva grass in worshipping Lord Ganesha?
A2 Spiritual Life, Studied at TPS COLLEGE5h
Once Shiva-Parvati were playing backgammon. Mother Parvati asked Nandi
sitting nearby, “Nandi! Tell me, which of us will win?” Nandi said that my
Bholenath ji will win. Lord Shiva lost while playing backgammon and Mother
Parvati won.
Mother said to Nandi, “Nandi you have given decision without thinking and
have given decision towards Mahadev. For this I curse you that you will sit
away from Mahadev.”
Mahadev said, “Parvati! you free Nandi from the curse.” Neither Nandi can
live without me nor I can live without Nandi. Mother Parvati said that when
Nandi will please my son Ganesha. I will free Nandi from the curse.
Nandi started pleasing Shri Ganesh. Nandi offered laddoos, modaks and lots
of sweets to Ganesha. But Ganesh ji was not pleased. One day Nandi was
eating grass. Meanwhile, Ganesh came to him and said, “Nandi, you have not
fed me anything today.”
Nandi picked up the grass (durva) lying there and dedicated it to Ganesha.
Meanwhile, Ganesha was pleased and Mother Parvati freed the river from the
curse.
Q3 What is the single most important thing you have learned in your
life?
A3 Gurmeet Bishnoi, Studied at Master of Science Degrees 3y
One person opened an incense sticks (agarbatti) shop. There were many types
of incense sticks. He put a sign board outside the shop -"fragrant incense
sticks are found here"
His shop started earning well. One day a customer came to his shop and said,
Customer : There is a contradiction in the board that you have put! If
incense sticks are not fragrant, will they be deodorant?
Justifying his point, the seller wiped the word off the board! Now the
board was like -"Here we get incense sticks!"
A few days after this another gentleman said to him -
Customer : Why is "here" written on your board? Writing here is meaningless
when the shop is here!
By accepting this, the seller deleted the word here on the board! Now the
board was -“Incense sticks are found! *
Again that person got an interesting consultation
Someone : what is the purpose of getting incense sticks? It is enough to
write incense sticks! If you have a shop, you get it.
So the board was left with only one word -"Incense sticks”
See the irony! A teacher came as a customer and shred his knowledge -
Teacher : when the shop is only of incense sticks then what is the benefit
of putting up its board? People will understand by seeing that only incense
shops are there!
Thus the board itself moved away from there! Now there was no board outside
shop.
Shop sales started slowing down and the seller was worried!
One day his old friend came to him. They were meeting after many years!
Friend could not hide his concern and he asked for the reason, then the
decline of business was found!
Friend looked at everything carefully and said,
Friend : you are absolutely stupid! Opened such a big shop and could not
put a board outside - fragrant incense sticks are found here! !!
Que. What is most important thing you have learned in life?
Ans : You will get suggestions on every step in life, who are not experts
in that subject, but you will find that all science, philosophy, sociology
etc. are embedded in them!
If you listen to such people or comply, then the board of your life will
also disappear. Your position will also be like that of the seller!
My note- I am very very happy to add this QA. Some members write adverse
about my QA postings. If I listen to them I will be like the shop owner.
Listen to everyone with do it with your mind only

Q5 Can we drink coffee after eating food?
A5 Health Director | Loving Father | Business Director Jun 5
Firstly, let's look at the benefits of drinking coffee after a meal.
Many people find that drinking coffee after a meal can help with digestion.
This is because coffee contains caffeine, which stimulates the production
of gastric acid in the stomach. This acid helps to break down food more
effectively, making it easier to digest.
Additionally, coffee can also help to reduce the risk of developing certain
diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, liver disease, and Alzheimer's disease.
However, there are also some downsides to drinking coffee after a meal.
One potential issue is that coffee can interfere with the absorption of
certain nutrients in the food you eat. For example, coffee can reduce the
absorption of iron, which is an important nutrient for the body. This is
particularly important for people who have low iron levels, such as
pregnant women and those with anemia.
Additionally, coffee can also cause acid reflux, which can be uncomfortable
and can lead to other health problems if left untreated.
Another issue to consider is the amount of coffee you are drinking. If you
drink too much coffee after a meal, it can lead to dehydration. This is
because coffee is a diuretic, which means it can cause you to urinate more
frequently. If you are not drinking enough water to compensate for this, it
can lead to dehydration, which can cause a range of health problems.
So, is it safe to drink coffee after eating food? The answer to this
question depends on a number of factors. Firstly, it is important to
consider how much coffee you are drinking. If you are only having a small
cup of coffee, it is unlikely to cause any harm. However, if you are
drinking multiple cups of coffee after a meal, it could lead to dehydration
and other health problems.
Another factor to consider is the type of food you are eating. If you are
eating a heavy, fatty meal, it may be best to avoid drinking coffee
afterwards. This is because coffee can stimulate the production of gastric
acid, which can exacerbate the symptoms of acid reflux and other digestive
issues. Additionally, if you are eating a meal that is high in iron, such
as red meat, it may be best to avoid drinking coffee afterwards to ensure
that your body is able to absorb as much iron as possible.
Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to drink coffee after eating
food is a personal one. If you find that drinking coffee after a meal helps
with digestion and does not cause any discomfort, then it is probably safe
to continue doing so. However, if you experience any negative side effects,
such as acid reflux or dehydration, it may be best to avoid drinking coffee
after eating food.
In conclusion, drinking coffee after eating food can have both benefits and
drawbacks. While coffee can help with digestion and reduce the risk of
certain diseases, it can also interfere with the absorption of certain
nutrients and lead to dehydration if consumed in excess. Ultimately, the
decision of whether or not to drink coffee after eating food is a personal
one that should be based on your individual needs and preferences.
