Whatever

[Snake]

Where did you get Asootee?
Am genuinely curious.
This is possibly Anantnag, the unending/eternal serpent on which the earth rests.
Will find out more.

Appreciate it! Turn out Anantnag is another name for Sesha - however I haven't been able to find him in this form.

Apropos of nothing, find the book The Worm Ouroboros and read it.
This is the book that founded the genre of Swords and Sorcery, so Lord Of The Rings, the Conan books, the Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter books, even elements of The Wheel Of Time and Game of Thrones starts here.

Will look into those. I've been reading about yoga, Shiva, Vasuki, Sesha, etc. in the ancient texts and find the connections with ouroboros really fascinating. The story of Sesha was especially appealing. If you got any resources for those ancient texts let me know - they are also difficult to find.

I would not dare to suggest anything on Yoga, as it is not the simplistic set of physical exercises that goes by that name world-wide, including the ranks of the worst-informed Hindutvavadis, but is one of the six key Hindu philosophical systems (Vedanta, that is shoved down our throats with such enthusiasm, is one of the six).

For the snake mythology, can be done, but it isn't, as with most Hindu mythology, in one place, neatly written up. Depending on the patience and interest of the reader, one may start with the hideously distorted Amar Chitra Katha graphics books, or a better, slightly too clever by half Devdutt Patnaik, or plunge into the original Puranas. The Upanishads are an additional source, but to read them for the mythology is like combing the whole of Western literature for limericks. They stand apart, and are of strikingly different quality of content, even considering them as a group. Five or six are utterly brilliant, and have enslaved serious thinkers through the ages.

Sometimes we tolerate someone's rude behavior just because we don't want to lose that person. You still want to talk/You still want to have contact no matter how many times that person have told you to stay away. Because you couldn't assume your life without that person.

KEEP DISTANCE!:

A picture (circa 15-16 Aug 2019) symbolizing turning attention to other enemy countries after defeating one enemy country. Gives the vibe of quietness after victory.
