Zephyr-3 on Venus

FIRST DAY

We woke up before the sunrise. After the fresh up routine, we all gathered in front of the main hut of the acharya. He was busy with his meditation. After everyone gathered, a boy from the group went inside the hut of acharya and told him “all students are present acharya.” acharya came out of his meditation and came out. Looked into the eyes of everyone and said “Welcome to Ashram, this is the dream place for many. In every batch, only 7 students are selected to be part of this prestigious ashram. You all will learn the different techniques to be the best sage of your generation. Till now everyone who had passed out from this place had been known all over the earth for their intelligence, powers and knowledge. I feel proud in announcing that all 7 of you will be the most prominent sage of your time. Look at the sky. Do you see a constellation of seven stars? That is Ursa Minor also known as Saptarishi(seven sages). That is made by my first batch of seven sages and after each batch passes out, they get placed in one of the seven stars.”

Shukracharya- “Acharya, is it necessary to live on one of those stars? What if any of us refuses to go there? ”

Acharya- “why would anyone refuse to go into one of those starts? It is a matter of pride. Best of the best sages gets this opportunity. I think anyone would be stupid enough to not opt for such an offer.”

Acharya again started explaining further instructions “As I said, you will get your stars according to your performance in the ashram and your evaluation has already been started. All the best. ”

Everyone got dispersed. First thing was to attend the weapon training. Though we were about to become sage, it was very important for us to know about weapons because we were the one who will be giving the instructions to the king during peace as well as war.

We all reached in front of a river. A person was standing at a distance. He was carrying a bow and arrow, aiming for something in the river with one eye closed. His hands were firm. The focus was strong. Suddenly a mild sound came from inside the river and the moment he heard this, an arrow went out from the bow and hit a fish inside the river. The speed was so high and the precision was so apt that it directly crossed the eyes of the fish.

Emma- “So precise in aiming ?”

Shukracharya- “actually this was just a daily routine for him. His capabilities were way more than this.”

 He turned back to face us and told us to assemble in a single line. after that he introduced himself. “Welcome to weapon classes. We will learn about each type of weapon. Today we will just have an introductory session but from tomorrow our main classes will start. For those who don't know me, I am known as Eklavya or Acharya Eklavya.”

The second class was about spells. Commonly known as “MANTRAS” in the ashram. A helper of acharya came running, greeted us and said “I am nared. I am your caretaker and helper. The hut for the second class is far away from base camp. For which we need to go through a rough jungle and on the other side of the jungle is a mountain. Acharya(teacher) for the Mantras(spells) lives on the top of that mountain. Route Of the jungle is rough. You may find dangerous animals and creatures inside that jungle. So, my piece of advice is that you all must be alert.” we all started moving. As we reached inside the jungle, intensity of sunlight started decreasing. After a few kilometres, it was pitch black. Nared instantly lit up himself by his spell. Everyone continued to walk further. The voices of slow winds were making it scarier. Suddenly a wolf's voice came from inside the shrubs. The fog was limiting visibility. A loud sound of crows can be heard clearly. A peculiar sound similar to the hissing of a snake was creating an impact that death may strike them at any moment. we were taking each step with caution. I looked into my right and saw a shadow of a person, who suddenly disappeared. 

Nared- “where are you looking Shukra?”

Shukracharya- “I saw someone in our right direction.”

Nared- “That might be your hallucination.”

Everyone again started walking towards the mountain. Finally, the destination arrived. The hut was on the high mountain where snow was widely spread. Everyone started shivering. Nared provided them with warm clothes to wear. As they moved further, they saw a man sitting on the peak of the mountain with just a small piece of cloth on his lower body. Sitting on the ice. With his eyes closed. He had a long black beard. Nared went near him and greeted “Acharya! Students are here for the classes.” he opened his eyes, looked at us and said “I am Mantra Acharya. I was aware of the fact that they are here. Shukra, have you seen a shadow in the forest?” Everyone was in shock because no one believed me when I said that I have seen someone. Even I had agreed that it might be a hallucination. I looked into the eyes of Mantra acharya and said: “yes, I had.”

Mantra acharya- “Some things are better to be untold and kept secret for everyone. Forget about that shadow and focus on the teaching that I am going to provide you here. As today is our first day, we will keep it introductory. We will start with the meaning of mantras(spells) and what all you get out of these spells. Do you see sitting on this ice without feeling cold? This is because of the spells. I hope you all will learn these spells quickly. For learning this spell you all need to sit and close your eyes. Now focus your mind on a single point. Do not let anything come into your mind, just focus. Now repeat after me  Om Namah Shivaya.  Chant this for several times. Meaning of this spell is

Om – The vibration that represents the creation of the universe.

Namah – It means to bow or show adoration.

Shivaya – It means the inner self.

Along with this chant, I will give you certain tips to keep yourself warm. Healing mantras have been used for centuries. They're simple empowering words or sounds (vibrations) that resonate with our mind-body’s health and happiness frequencies.

There is no shortage of healing mantras in Ayurveda. There are specific mantras for each of the organs of the body, the chakras, the five elements, and many, many more. But I've found that the most powerful words are those that speak directly to you.

So...What words or sounds resonate with your health and happiness frequency? What phrases and themes make you feel clear, energized, and rejuvenated?  feel into and create your personal wellness mantra. Write it down, keep it near, and repeat it often. Small changes in the way you eat, move, think, and even talk to yourself can keep your mind and body light, strong, and radiant. The key is to counter the cold, damp, and heavy Kapha qualities with just the right amount of warm, light, and dry stuff. ”
