Auriculotherapy (also auricular therapy, ear acupuncture, and auriculoacupuncture) is a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the ear is a micro system, which reflects the entire body, represented on the auricle, the outer portion of the ear. Conditions affecting the physical, mental or emotional health of the patient are assumed to be treatable by stimulation of the surface of the ear exclusively. Similar mappings are used in many areas of the body, including the practices of reflexology and iridology. These mappings are not based on or supported by any medical or scientific evidence.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

History[edit]

Auriculotherapy was proposed in the "Treatise of Auriculotherapy" (1957), by the neurologist Paul Nogier.^[5] The developments were made by clinical trials based upon a phrenological method of projection of a fetal Homunculus on the ear, for reference of physical complaints and points for medical treatment. Nogier soon presented his discovery to the public, where members of the Chinese Army picked up the map and took it to the barefoot doctors of China, farmers with minimal training in basic medical and in paramedical skills, and so provide medical services in rural China.

Moreover, Nogier then published what he called the "Vascular Autonomic Signal", a distinct change in the amplitude of the pulse, easily felt with the tip of the thumb at the radial artery. That mechanism would only produce a signal upon the introduction of new information to the electromagnetic field of the patient. Nogier then was working with the principle of matching resonance, and said that he could use the vascular autonomic signal to detect the active points of the auricular microsystem..

Saptapadi is a Ritual taken from Rig Veda which is followed in gruhya sutras mainly in majority. But there are some variations too.

Vows (pratidnya) of the bride
The bride takes the following consecutive seven vows, one at each step.
· 1. त्‍वत्तो मेऽखिलसौभाग्‍यं पुण्‍यैस्‍त्‍वं विविधै: कृतै: । देव ! संपादितो मह्यं वधूराद्ये पदेऽब्रवीत्‌
।।Meaning: O Lord! I have had the good fortune of acquiring you due to the various types of merits acquired by me in various births.

।।Meaning: I will look after your entire family, from the infant to the aged and will be happy with whatever I get for my sustenance.

।।Meaning: I will always abide by your directives and will regularly cook delicious food, vegetables, etc.

।।Meaning: I will embellish myself with clean attire and will indulge in sexual play with you through acts with the mind, speech and body.

।।Meaning: I who face sorrow bravely and remain pleased in happiness will share both your happiness and sorrow and will never indulge in adultery.
· 6. सुखेन सर्वकर्माणि करिष्‍यामि गृहे तव । सेवा श्वसुरयोश्चामि बन्‍धूनां सत्‍कृतिं तथा ।। यत्र त्‍वं वा अहं तत्र नाहं वञ्‍चे प्रियं क्‍वचित्‌ । नाहं प्रियेण वञ्‍चा हि कन्‍या षष्‍ठे पदेऽब्रवीत्‌
।।Meaning: I will happily perform all your household chores. I will also serve my in-laws and will respect other relatives. I will stay wherever you stay. I will never deceive my beloved (master) and will never get deceived by him.

The various vedic traditions use slight variations of this mantra for the saptapadi. ISHA EKAPADI BHAVA IS TO follow the Rig veda tradition. It is found in the ashvalAyana gRhya sUtra. The krishna yajur veda has it's variant in the taittiriya brahmana (though the context given by sayana is completely different). It is also found in the taittiriya mantra-prashna (ekagni kanda) in the marriage context.

THE SECOND ONE IS FROM ANOTHER GRUHYA SUTRAM.
The basic construction is "विष्णुः त्वा अन्वेतु (एतर्थम्)". अन्वेतु = अनुगच्छतु. There are 7 such items that we request Vishnu to bestow on the bride.

VISHNU TVA NAYATHU IS ANOTHER VERSION FOUND IN ANOTHER GRUYA SUTRA. There is a slight change combining both as the 3rd version. East, west and south almost follow Rig concept , while there is variation in North.

Saptapadi (Seven Steps) in Hindu Wedding significance. :-

This is the most important rite of the entire ceremony. Here the bride and the bridegroom take seven steps together around the nuptial fire (Agni) and make the following seven promises to each other :As per the Vedic rituals, the bridegroom sings the following : With God as Our Guide, Let Us Take,

1.The first step to nourish each other
2.The second step to grow together in strength
3.The third step to preserve our wealth
4.The fourth step to share our joys and sorrows
5.The fifth step to care for our children
6.The sixth step to be together forever
7.The seventh step to remain lifelong friends,

The perfect halves to make a perfect whole.
After the seventh step he makes her remain where she is and says: "With seven steps we become friends. Let me reach your friendship. Let me not be severed from your friendship. Let your friendship not be severed from me."

The Saptapadi ceremony concludes with a prayer that the union is indissoluble. At the end of this ceremony, the bridegroom and bride become husband and wife. In some communities such as Gujarati, instead of seven, only four steps, signifying Artha, Dharma, Kama and Moksha are taken.

According to Indian Civil Law, this ,the taking of the 7th step signifies the defining moment of a Hindu marriage

[www.keralites.net] SALUTE THE PERSON WHO HELPED DISPATCH OF SRIDEVI'S BODY

Meet the Dubai Indian who helped dispatch Sridevi's body

While the only certainty in life is death, it is the uncertainty of how, when and where the angel of death strikes the living. While dying in a foreign land is in itself hard, it makes it doubly hard when the dead is orphaned.

Those that have had the misfortune of losing a family member in a foreign land know that it is not an easy task to move the mortal remains from one country to another. To undertake this daunting task of moving the dead body home from another country, the person who is dead should either be rich and famous or should have a family that loves him and wants to give a respectful end to the mortal remains.

Away from the cameras' flash and the eyes of her millions of fans in India, the actress Sridevi's body made its way to a simple mortuary in the United Arab Emirates, where one man helped sign out her remains to return home. Meet the Dubai Indian Mr. Ashraf who helped despatch Sridevi's mortal remains to India.

Listed only as "ASHRAF" on the official paperwork in Dubai , "Sherry" Thamarassery, a 44-year-old Indian from Kerala who has become a ferryman of sorts for those who die here in the United Arab Emirates.

Ashraf is known as the 'Friend of the Dead' in the UAE. From indebted laborers to the moneyed elite, Thamarassery has helped repatriate 4,700 bodies to 38 countries across the world during the past 18 years . He offers his service free of cost. He views it as a noble responsibility in this desert sheikhdom that draws so many far from their homes.

While Indian officials quickly canceled Sri Devi's passport and prepared the other documents, Thamarassery was arranging for a police clearance needed for her repatriation. When the clearance came, he traveled to a simple government-run mortuary in a dusty neighbourhood of squat, square buildings that house some of Dubai's immense population of foreign workers, many of whom come from South Asia.

There, officials embalmed her corpse as Thamarassery handled paperwork for her and three others. Ashraf , was among the few who were present at the embalming room. The embalming certificate issued by the Dubai Health Authority bears Ashraf's name.

An ambulance then carried her body to a private jet sent by an Indian billionaire Anil Ambani to take her home to Mumbai to be cremated.

Thamarassery runs a mechanics shop but focuses largely on his philanthropic efforts. He stays in a small apartment with his wife and daughter in Ajman, a small, dusty emirate in the UAE.

Shelf upon shelf in his home bears honors and awards. A framed picture hangs on the wall showing him meeting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"I do this to earn blessings, but also when someone dies here, people don't know how to manage the repatriation procedures. That's why I do it." he says

It warms the heart to see this selfless man toil day in day out moved by their compassion and sense of service to the nation and its people.

Ashraf, May your tribe increase and prosper!!! May our Mother India be blessed with many selfless sons like you!

But why was her mortal remains was wrapped with tri colour and cremated with state honours ?

Maharashtrian government decided to give complete state of honors to the legendary actress. In 2013, the legendary actress was honored with Padma Shri. It was the decision of state government itself to give a legendary farewell to the legendary actress.

In India, State funerals were initially reserved only for current and former Presidents, Prime Ministers, Union ministers and State Chief Ministers. And the decision to accord a state funeral rested initially with the union government. But laws have been changed such that the state government can now decide who will be given a state funeral, depending on the stature of the deceased. If the union government has decided for a state funeral then following procedures will be applied to all over India, else if the state government has declared a state funeral then it applies only to the state.

The government takes into consideration the contribution made by the person to the state in various fields like politics, literature, law, science and arts. The chief minister of the concerned state takes a decision after consultations with other cabinet ministers. Once a decision is taken on the issue, it is conveyed to senior police officials including the deputy commissioner, the police commissioner and the superintendent of police, who have to make all the arrangements for a state funeral.

But, does an actress who was drowned in a bath dub under the influence of alcohol, deserve such a state honour and national flag wrapping ?

What's your take? Please comment.
