“Ambrosia ” -The eternal food and drink of the celestial beings and gods which makes them immortal.
Phtocredit:blogedutics.wordpress.com
Well! This is what we have learnt and read through our mythological scriptures. What is so special about this food or drink that makes it so extraordinary and provides immortality? Is there any mixture of potion added or some unique composition which makes it stand out from the rest?
Ambrosia is sometimes depicted in ancient art as distributed by a nymph labeled with that name. In a myth, an opponent to the wine god Dionysus, violence committed against Ambrosia turns her into a grapevine.
Amrita is a hindi or sanskrit word for Ambrosia.
Amrita is produced in the “ocean-churning” samudra manthan legend, which describes how the devas, because of a curse from the sage Durvasawere to lose their immortality. The two sides,god and demons then churn the ocean and create (among other wonderful things) amrita, the nectar of immortality.
Amrit too ,according to yogic philosophy of Indian spiritualism,is considered to be the liquid which is secreted while being in ecstasy and utter bliss ,during the assimilation with god or while having such an experience during meditation which carries the soul to different realm of consciousness.
Ambrosia is considered to be a sweet liquid,similar in taste like honey,referred normally as nectar.
The whole gist reflects the drop of ambrosia or the essence of Ambrosia ,the food, is not a substance that can be used as an intake to get immortality of life.
It is the sweetness that is extracted when we churn out the evils from our body and mind ,leaving behind only the immortal part ie.the soul.It is in fact the drop of nectar which gets secreted when the soul reaches the ultimate level of consciousness and leaves behind the rest to experience the spiritual bliss,which make it immortal.

Own the moment and live it.
The moment that we are living in now,will be lost forever in the sands of time . And the lost moment can never be revived nor reinstated .
It is in this moment that we have to breath,live and smile. For the instant that vanishes ,evaporates in the atmosphere and cannot be brought back.Whether it is the part of work,or the expression of love,whether it is the smile that we forgot or the care that we should have showered ,it’s all in this moment that shall slip within no time .
Once slipped like the flowing tears of an eye,like the slippery sand ,it is lost .
Value the treasure of the pearl when it is in your hand and of this moment when you have it …for once you lose it ,you have lost one precious pearl from the casket of your life.
Beyond the comprehension of a common man’s mind and perception, the road to the mountains of the Divine had appeared in my dreams.
It wasn’t a fantasy nor an illusion,even though I forgot about the mystical dream very soon as I woke up.
The next day again I resumed my journey from the place where I had stopped. I stopped for a moment,gasping and feeling breathless.As I managed to look above for few drops of water that would quench my dried throat,I got mesmerized with envelope of the luminous clouds and aura of the atmosphere. I forgot about my pain and my aches.
The view was scintillating and it absorbed all the pangs of my bruised self.
For a moment I traveled beyond the realms of earth and had reached the doorsteps of Divine,then I remembered the journey is yet to be completed.
And for a second I turned around to see what was there that I had left behind on this spiritual journey.
A silhouette ,I saw for a flash second and it vanished and dissolved in the zephyr as if it never existed.
My eyes got misty, seeing the footsteps that were trailing behind me and I recollected the words , “Keep walking my child.The journey is yours and you have to travel alone,while on this path of truth and wisdom for the journey of reaching Divine is the truth of knowing self …I am with you every moment,whenever you fall or need me,I shall be there to hold you with care. Trust your faith and walk.Never look back,for that would mean ,you have lost your belief in me and whenever you do so,I will vanish.
You will have to restart your journey then, from the initial stage to reach the destination .”
