Why you should avoid Packet Curd :
Curd is a vital ingredient of our daily diet and it is a essential fermented probiotic food to ensure proper digestion of the food we eat

Per Ayurveda , there are different type of curds

-Thick Semi Formed Curd
-Sweet Curd
-Sweet & Sour Curd

-Sour Curd
-Very Sour Curd

-This classification is purely based on the probiotic culture growth on the curd and the age of the curd

-Each curd has different benefits to your health and used for treating different ailments

- Very Sour Curd is the most beneficial curd to our body as it increases the digestive fire /biological fire /Agni that exists in your body

- Proper balance of the digestive fire is key for maintaining good gut health
-Healthy gut bacteria means healthy immune system

-Packet curd is not curd at first instance as it is formed by monoculture of single microbial culture rather varied microbial culture like how it is made at home
-This is done to ensure curd is not turning sour so fast and limits the culture growth & long shelf life

- Another method is coagulating the milk or cheese to curd using a enzyme called "Rennet "

-Rennet Coagulation is mostly widely followed diary practice as it is quick ,cheap and easy

- Vegetarians should avoid this as Rennet enzyme is derived from the stomach of young calf

*dairy

So how check it's purity

Take a teaspoon of ghee heat the teaspoon on lowest flame like diya or birthday candle or burning cowdung dhoop top

Pure one will melt in two seconds and turns dark brown

Adulterated one will take more than a minute to melt and it will turn yellow instead of dark brown as butter and ghee contains artificial food colour for yellowish texture

SRI MOOKAMBIKA DEVI, KOLLUR (KAR)

There was an Asura, Kaumasura, who was doing penance to please Shiva and get a boon. To prevent him from asking for a boon, Devi Saraswati made him dumb (hence called Mookasur)
Later, Adi Parashakti slayed him and came to be called Mookambika.

It is said that Adi Shankaracharya had a vision in which Devi agreed to follow him provided he did not look back. He kept walking and was assured of her presence due to the sound of anklets. When he reached here in Kollur, he turned back as the sound of anklets had stopped.

So Devi stayed here and merged with the lingam. The place came to be called Mookambika Kshetram.
The linga has integrated on it’s left side MahaKali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswathi and on the right side- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

A swarna rekha (gold line) divides this linga into left and right portion. Adi Shakthi in this Udhbhavlinga form appears only here.
Devi sits in padmasana and has 4 hands.
Adi Shankaracharya installed the Sri Chakra in front of Devi and also composed the Soundarya Lahiri here.
