It was formed on 1 November 1956. The Chera Dynasty was the first prominent kingdom based in Kerala. there were two major princely states in Kerala- Travancore State and the Kingdom of Cochin. They united to form the state of Thiru-Kochi in 1949. Kerala is also called *Parasurama Kshetram*  The name Kerala has an uncertain etymology. One popular theory derives "Kerala" from "Kera" (coconut tree in Malayalam) and "alam" is land, thus " *land of coconuts",* locals.The word Kerala is first recorded as Keralaputra in a 3rd-century BCE rock inscription left by the maurya emperor ashoka (274–237 BCE).

In the agricultural sector, coconut, tea, coffee, cashew and spices are important.  ====================== 🙏🏻 *THOUGHT OF THE DAY* 😇 ======================== Nothing is particularly hard if you break it down into small jobs. ======================= *JOKE OF THE DAY* ======================= Mom: Pappu, breakfast mein kya khayega?

Pappu: Bulb ki bhujia bana do! 💡😂😜🤪🤣😂 ======================= *😳Why❓❓❓* ======================= *The science behind Navratri Fasting: Why you are not allowed to eat onion and garlic*  ====================== According to Ayurveda, foods can be divided into three categories:- *A. Raajasic foods* *B. Taamasic foods*  *C. Saatvik foods* Rajas and Tamas are referred to things that are unripe, weak, resentful and destructive. During Navratri, people are supposed to denounce the worldly pleasure *C. Saatvik foods :* Saatvik foods include fresh fruits, curd, rock salt, seasonal vegetables and subtle spices like coriander and black pepper.  Onion and garlic are considered to be taamsic in nature and are said to invoke carnal energy in the body. Onions also produce heat in the body and thus are not allowed during the Navratri fast. Garlic along with onion is known as Rajogini, which means a substance that can make one lose grip over their instincts. This makes it difficult to differentiate between your desires and priorities. ======================= *LEARN Sanskrit*🙏🏻 ======================  _saadhvoh sheeghran maitree bhavati_  (Good people become friends quickly). ======================= ⁉️⁉️⁉️ *WHY* ⁉️⁉️⁉️ ======================= *Chopping an onion make you cry?* 🧄🧅 Onions produce the chemical irritant known as syn-propanethial- S-oxide. It stimulates the eyes’ lachrymal glands so they release tears. Lachrymatory-factor synthase is released into the air when we cut an onion. The synthase enzyme converts the amino acids sulfoxides of the onion into sulfenic acid. The unstable sulfenic acid rearranges itself into  Syn-propanethial-S-oxide gets into the air and comes in contact with our eyes. The lachrymal glands become irritated and produces the tears! ======================= 💁🏻‍♂️ *GK TODAY*  ==========================  The currency of Russia is the Ruble. 1 Russian Ruble equals 1.10 Indian Rupee The ruble sign (₽) is the currency sign ======================= *IDIOMS AND PHRASES*  ====================== *Spill the beans* 👉 Reveal a secret.

Please info) ======================= *According Puranas*  Onion and garlic came from the dead body of a murdered cow and therefore they are considered like eating meat. They break the non-vegetarian principle from the shastric point of view. Strict vegetarians don't eat onion nor garlic. Since meat is tamasic, onions and garlic are also tamasic and rajasic food. They may have some medicinal value like even wine is used in medicines sometimes. Thus they are taboo for followers of Vedic culture.   "Once, in Satya Yuga the rishis were performing gomedha and asvamedha sacrifices for the welfare of the whole universe. A cow or a horse would be cut into pieces and placed in the fire. Afterwards the rishis would utter mantras and the same animal would come alive in a beautiful young body. One time the rishi who was about to perform a gomedha sacrifice, his wife was pregnant. She had a very strong desire to eat and she had heard that if, during pregnancy one has a desire to eat and does not fullfill this, then the baby that will be born will always have saliva coming from its mouth. Very strange, she desired strongly to eat meat, thus she decided to keep one piece of meat of the cow's body that was offered in sacrifice. She hid it and was making a plan to eat it very soon. At that time the rishi was finishing the sacrifice and uttered all the mantras for the new young cow to come to life. However when he saw the new cow, he noticed that there was a little part missing from her left side. He went into meditation and realized that his wife had taken away a piece of meat during the sacrifice. Now his wife also understood what happened and quickly threw the meat far away.  Due to the effect of the mantras uttered by the rishi there was now life in this piece of meat. Then the blood of this meat became red lentils, the bones became garlic and the meat became onions. Thus these foods are never taken by any Vaishnava situated in the mode of goodness as Vaishnavas should be because it is not considered by us as offerable due to its association as a non-vegetarian food. Plus it is in the mode of ignorance."  "It is not vegetarian to eat onions and garlic. They have discovered 21 different types (?) of slow poison in both. So they are not so innocent." ==========================  ( *Note* : These home tips followed in villages/ancient traditions, it is up to you to use it or not🙏🏻)  🍉 *Watermelon* and basil drinks are quite effective when it comes to hydration.
