VETTICODE AADIMOOLA SREE NAGARAJA MANDIR

It is said that once Parashuram threw his axe in the sea and the sea withdrew from where the axe landed, letting Kerela emerge. The land was infertile due to salinity.
Parashuram, then prayed to Nagaraja Anantha for a solution.

Pleased Nagaraja said that his serpents would desalinate the soil by spitting their venom on it, thereby making the land fertile.
Parasuram decided to thank the serpents by giving them a piece of land to roam undisturbed and uninhabited by human beings.

Vetticode is believed to be one of the first two snake mandirs envisaged by Parasuram, the other being Mannarassala.
It is said that the murti for the mandir was made by Mayasura, the asura architect and the consecration was blessed by the presence of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
The protector family of Vetticode Mandir is Meppallil Illam (a local Brahmin household). It is believed that Parasuram himself has appointed the Meppallil family as the serpent protectors.  
The Mandir has more than 100 serpent murtis which were brought from various places.
The month of Kanni is special in serpent worship as it is the month in which the serpents wake from their meditation.
It is believed that one who is blessed by the sight of Vetticode mandir procession during Ayilyam festival will be protected from animal poison the coming year.

The best morning routine?

Starts the night before.

9 evening habits that make all the difference:

1. Write down tomorrow's 3:3:3 plan

• 3 hours on your most important project
• 3 shorter tasks
• 3 maintenance activities

Defining a "productive day" is crucial.

Or else you'll never be at peace (even with excellent output).

2. End the workday with a shutdown ritual

Create a short shutdown ritual (hat-tip to Cal Newport). Close your laptop, plug in the charger, spend 2 minutes tidying your desk. Then say, "shutdown."

Separating your life and work is key.

3. Journal 1 beautiful life moment

Delicious tacos, presentation you crushed, a moment of inner peace. Write it down.

Gratitude programs a mindset of abundance.

4. Lay out clothes

Get exercise clothes ready for tomorrow. Upon waking up, jump rope for 2 mins. It will activate your mind + body.

I hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991."

OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what? https://t.co/DnE6AvHmJg

Oh that's right.

The dad of the U.S. Attorney General under both George W. Bush & Donald Trump, William Barr, was headmaster of the Dalton School.

Donald Barr was also quite a


I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
