KR why don’t you have some indexing as to how many times you are repeating? And avoid pouncing when I write about my retention memory capacity when time comes? Q2 Why is betel leaf used for Hanuman? KR repeat. Now what is betel leaves? As a Brahmin at 79 one should know. 1 Tāmbūla (ताम्बूल) refers to “betel leaves” and represents one of the sixteen *upacāra* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/upacara#purana>, or “sixteen types of homage and services”, as described while explaining the mode of worshipping the phallic form (*liṅga*) of Śiva in the Śivapurāṇa 1.11 <https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/shiva-purana-english/d/doc225556.html>. Accordingly, “[...] the devotee shall worship the mobile emblem with the sixteen types of homage and services (*upacāra*) as prescribed. It accords the region of Śiva gradually. The sixteen types of service are [for example, betel leaves (*tāmbūla*)] [...] Or he shall perform all the sixteen rites in the phallic emblem of human, saintly or godly origin, or in one naturally risen up (*svayambhū*) or in one of very extraordinary nature installed duly”. 2 Skanda Puranam Chap 210 speaks about the importance of Tambula in a serious and comical way. 3 According to Ramayana, the time when *Shri Hanuman* reached Lanka to convey the message of Lord Ram <https://food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/ram-navami-2017-how-to-celebrate-the-last-day-of-navratri-1676789> to *Sita Devi*, she gave him a garland made with betel leaves when she couldn't find anything else to offer him as a token of delight and appreciation. This is why people offer betel leaves while worshiping *Shri Hanuman.* 4 In Mahabharata also, the betel leaf played a significant role. It is believed that Arjun was asked to acquire a betel leaf after his victory the over evil powers in *Rajaugya Yagnya *by the priests that was needed to start the *Yagnya*. Since there were none available in that area, Arjun had to go to the Kingdom of Snakes – *Nag Lok *and ask the queen to give him a betel leaf. This is why the betel leaf is also known as *Nag-Velli* or *Nagarbel*. 5 Hence betel leaves malai can be placed to any deity. The top , the narambu and the bottom and corner which we remove are evils according to Skanda puranam. 6 After all we are giving only what HE gave us. Q3 06 things a leader should never do 1 Don't be indecisive. Ain't nobody follow someone who can't make up their damn mind. KR Decisions are part of life; and without decisions no one can move; but what we terms indecisiveness is what we are not sure off, due to the fear pros and cons, that may occur. 2 Don't be a two-faced snake. People can smell that crap from a mile away. KR Politics is only that and people are still sleeping. Don't be a damn pushover. You have a backbone if you want to make it in this world.
