Are you postponing something important in your life right now? Procrastination is a serious issue facing people of all ages, shapes, and sizes. Regardless of under what circumstances one procrastinates, the science of procrastination is something that our elders were keen to pass on through many symbolisms and stories. Devotion to the work we do is the key to overcoming procrastination. In this episode, along with this science, we are capturing an everyday occurrence in every household as an excuse to illustrate that the greatness in great people is not because they don't have shortcomings but in the tenacity they exhibited in the face of staggering odds. References: Story research and contentSundarar (Murthi) (skandagurunatha.org)How Shiva mediated between Sundarar and Paravai Nachiyar (thiruppugazh-nectar.blogspot.com) Music contenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiYvzwv0RjMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiHOorTmIrYIndian Cow Moo Sound EffectOx Cart Sound Effects | HIGH QUALITY AUDIOIndian Sad Tense Music - Copyright Free MusicCHENDA - Cinematic Background Music (No Copyright and Royalty Free) Listen to the Podcasts : https://linktr.ee/ancientanecdotesFollow Ancient Anecdotes on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/theancientanecdotesInstagram : https://www.instagram.com/ancientanecdotespodcastAudio engineering and digital mastering: Niti Ramanathan Hosted on Acast.

We wanted to start our first episode with something that symbolizes creativity and something that represents the beginning of everything. We wanted it to be close to our existence and yet far away.In Indian tradition, the Prajapatis are often associated with creative energy and are considered the progenitors or creators of various beings and aspects of the universe. The term "Prajapati" is derived from the combination of two Sanskrit words: "Prajā," which means "creatures" or "progeny," and "pati," which means "lord" or "master." Therefore, Prajapatis are the lords or masters of creation and are responsible for the propagation and proliferation of life forms.The Prajapatis symbolize the creative energy that brings life and diversity into existence. They are essential figures in Hindu cosmology and are often depicted as sages or divine beings responsible for shaping the universe and its inhabitants. Their stories and lineage are woven into the rich tapestry of Indian mythology and religious beliefs. These venerable beings are associated with being still at mind and have imparted valuable knowledge through the eons. Even in our Spiritual purports, Creativity and procreativity are achieved through the same energy.This episode discusses Kashyapa, the last of the Prajapati's, and how he discovered the value of stillness for learning and creativity.Referenceshttps://www.valmiki.iitk.ac.in/https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/https://www.britannica.com/biography/Eratostheneshttps://www.constellation-guide.com/big-dipper/(edited)Encyclopedia BritannicaEratosthenes | Biography, Discoveries, Sieve, & FactsEratosthenes, Greek scientific writer, astronomer, and poet, who made the first measurement of the size of Earth for which any details are known.
