India with its cultural and academic history has progressed over time with many rituals, folk medicine which have attained esoteric, occult or even some may say superstitious envelopes due to the geo-politcal shifts it has experienced. In such lieu i try to present an interview with a healer from Narang Kashmir who specialises in snake bite poison and alchemy. I document his knowledge especially about Mantra science to cure snake bites and also to gather rare herbs like Teliya Kand which is long supposed to convert base metal into gold, a part of Indian alchemy Rasashastra. I finally try to put forth the entire knowledge from perspective of sociological theory of Greater Tradition and Lesser Tradition first put forth by te American Anthropologist Ridert Redfield. through the theory I try to analyse how we can infer such rituals, traditions knowledge so that we can decode the cryptic knowledge in Greater Traditions of Vedas and Tantra to arrive at a higher technology to make our life qualitative and stable. These are the questions I try to put forth towards youth and all enthusiast of Veda Ayurveda Yoga & Tantra.
Timeline of this video
00:00 Start of The video, Introduction to the video
00:35 Start of the interview with snake bite venom healer from Naranag Kashmir. How he uses mantra and ayurvedic herb to cure snake bites in animals and people. How he diagnosis, how he knows if the patient is recovering. How did he learn this art
02:30 A small ontroduction about Rasashastra by me, Indian ancient alchemy. How its purpose was to turn base metals to gold known as Lohvedha . How the search led to discovery of many entities which had health benefits known as Dehvedha especially Bhasma , which lie at the foundational algorithm of modern nano medicine.
03:30 Introducing the arguable pla nt known as Teliya Kand. The plant is understood as being magical and the oil procured from it can turn base metal to gold. How it is described and identified. Are there sankes at its root. How t get the so called precious oil
04:05 Our healer talks about his experience with teliya kand. How his father collected the herb when he was young. How he managed to control the snakes at its roots. How they used the herb to get massive butter from milk at home
06:24 I summarise the interview from the viewpoint of tradition. The thoery of sociology as explained by American anthropologist Robert Redfield about Greater Tradition and Lesser Tradition. How this theory can be used to understand the value and hidden knowledge from these lesser traditions of folk medicine, magical rituals etc. How the serve as an interconnect link between the cryptic knowledge hidden in greater traditions of Tantra and Veda. I cite the example of how our healers collection methods align with the Posion healer mentioned in greater traditions of Ayurveda
07:50 Our healer informs how he uses Mantra to collect plants, How he goes late night early morning and secures a parametr around the herbs. How herbs are hidden and reveal themselves after Mantra. How the herbs and plants talk to the healer and reveal their use in health and environment
08:28 I finally put forth the lessons we can learn from the interview. How we can judge such knowledge from 4 possible ways, Occult mystical and esoteric science, Modern technology to understand chemical composition of plants, Environmental social and cultural boundaries where we look towards conservation or we dismiss them as hocus pocus kae superstition. I also discuss how we can shoft ourr view towards the lesser traditions, ritual etc so we can arrive at a higher technology coded in vedas and Tantra
