Oorpazhachi Kavu
The thondachan shrine is also where devotees can offer silver icons of body parts requesting for cure or protection of that respective anatomical part. This is usually mediated by "vellattom" and the "ooralar". The devotee places the icon with the "ooralan" who then transfers the same to the "vellattom" who then requests for the protection. It is also a symbol of complete surrender unto the divinity offering each parts of the human body.
The total surrender of the body ego unto the deity with the head bowed with folded hands, in front of the vellattom ritual symbolizes the self-realization, the blossoming of the divine lotus in oneself in a rare ritual performed at this temple daily at 1200noon .
Yichudim
Isaac Luria, the father of modern Kabbalah, developed the Zoharic references to Yichudim into a complete esoteric system of meditation, based on the new mythological scheme of Lurianic Kabbalah. Outwardly, the Zohar appears to be solely a theosophical text. However, through Luria's theosophical description of the cosmic structure as a complete interacting dynamic system, the soul of man embodies and dynamically interacts with the supernal processes of creation. Where Moses Cordovero previously developed a linear Zoharic method of meditation based on his conception of the sephirot as discreet powers, Luria's Yichudim meditation method is based on the sephirot as anthropomorphic mutually enclothing Partzufim (divine personas). His systemisation of Zoharic doctrine into a comprehensive process, enabled him to extract Yichudim meditation practices from the most esoteric descriptions in the Zohar. These elite meditative practices engaged the attention of subsequent Kabbalistic worship, and were further expanded, and practiced in a communal setting by Shalom Sharabi and the Beit El circle.
Izikhothane
The word Izikhothane is a slang word that originates from the Zulu word "Osikhotheni". Osikhotheni means people who live in the bushes/bundus, and that is derived from the Zulu word "Isikhotha" that means "bush". The singular form of this Zulu word is called "usikhotheni". This term is township slang for hustlers who live a lavish life style (nice expensive clothes, nice cars, etc.) without having a job or owning a business. You can call them modernised beggars who live by using illegal ways to satisfy their hunger for their lavish life styles.

Cihuatán
Cihuatán was a very large Mesoamerican city. The city possessed two principal ceremonial centres, known respectively as the Eastern and Western Ceremonial Centres. In 1978 the Western Ceremonial Centre was cleared of vegetation and mapped. Excavations included a cluster of residential buildings that had been hastily abandoned due to fire, resulting in many of the household goods being preserved when the walls collapsed. The ceremonial architecture of the site core is of a pan-Mesoamerican style; outside of the ceremonial groups, the style is distinctively Maya.
Eshhar

Jetigen
The jetigen (, , or dzhetigan or zhetygen) is a Kazakh seven-stringed zither similar to the Mongolian yatga or Siberian jadagan. The strings were sometimes made of horsehair.
Zhetygen is an ancient seven-stringed plucking instrument, which reminds of gusli or lying harp. The most ancient type of zhetygen looked like the prolonged box hollowed out of the wooden piece. Such zhetygen did not have the upper sounding board and pins. The strings were stretched by hand from the outer side of the instrument. Later the upper part of zhetygen was covered with the wooden sounding board. Assyks were out under each string from two sides. Moving them it was possible to tune the string. If assyks were drawn closer to each other the tune was rising, and if drawn apart the tune was falling. String tuning was made by the pins and by moving the supports. 
Early instruments took the form of a rectangular box, carved from wood, with strings stretched over the top. Later, a separate sounding board was added, and moveable supports were used to raise each string from the sounding board; the position of each support along its string determined the pitch of that string's note.
Azekah
Azekah (, "ʿazeqah") was a town in the Shephelah ("lower stratum of the Judaean range") guarding the upper reaches of the Valley of Elah, about 26 km (16 mi) northwest of Hebron. The current "tell" (ruin) by that name has been identified with the biblical Azekah, dating back to the Canaanite period. Today, the site lies on the purlieu of Britannia Park. According to Epiphanius of Salamis, the name meant "white" in the Canaanite tongue. The "tell" is pear shaped with the tip pointing northward. Due to its location in the Elah Valley it functioned as one of the main Judahite border cities, sitting on the boundary between the lower and higher Shephelah. Although listed in Joshua 15:35 as being a city in the plain, it is actually partly in the hill country, partly in the plain.
Zumpahuacán

Muthappan
One interesting story relating to God Muthappan is about the Nileshwar Muthappan Madappura. The Sree Muthappan temple near National Highway No 17 in Nileshwar has a rich heritage. It conveys the philosophical, devotional and educational importance of Nileshwar. There is an interesting story regarding the construction of this Sree Muthappan Temple. An elder member of the Koroth family regularly visited the place now known as the Muthappan temple and drank madhu (toddy), the liquor fermented from coconut sap. He was a famous scholar and got the title Ezhuthachan for his commendable achievement as a teacher. Before drinking "madhu", he poured a few drops of "madhu" on the nearby jackfruit tree as an offering for the God Muthappan. He regularly repeated the practice. Several years after the death of the scholar, the natives experienced serious problems and called upon an astrologer for assistance in finding out the cause. The astrologer concluded that as a result of the regular practice of giving "madhu" to God Muthappan, the God had started residing there. After the death of the scholar, he no longer got "madhu" and, in a fit of pique, began creating disturbances. The natives erected a Muthappan temple there. The Koroth family then got the right of "Koymma" [patron] of the temple.
Chuppah
Jewish weddings consist of two separate parts: the betrothal ceremony, known as "erusin" or "kiddushin", and the actual wedding ceremony, known as "nisuin". The first ceremony (the betrothal, which is today accomplished when the groom gives a wedding ring to the bride) prohibits the bride to all other men and cannot be dissolved without a religious divorce ("get"). The second ceremony permits the bride to her husband. Originally, the two ceremonies usually took place separately. After the initial betrothal, the bride lived with her parents until the day the actual marriage ceremony arrived; the wedding ceremony would then take place in a room or tent that the groom had set up for her. After the ceremony the bride and groom would spend an hour together in an ordinary room, and then the bride would enter the "chuppah" and, after gaining her permission, the groom would join her.
Jocotitlán
By the Classic period (200 to 600 CE), there were sedentary agricultural villages in the area, which had contact with Teotihuacan, and whose inhabitants spoke a language of the Oto-mazhaua family. However, Teotihuacan’s influence in the area came late in the period, as the area was on the margin of the city’s sphere. For the period of 600 to 900 CE, there is a lack of archeological evidence and ceramics do not show a great deal of sophistication. Jocotitlán was part of an area called Mazahuacan, or land of the Mazahua, and the town was originally a Mazahua settlement. This settlement, along with the rest of the area, was conquered by the Aztecs in 1478.
Peshotanu
In these texts, Peshotanu is an assistant of the Saoshyant, the "future benefactor" who brings about the final renovation of the world. In these texts, Peshotanu is also one of the Zoroastrian "immortals" ("anoshag-ruwan", "of immortal soul"), and the name 'peshotanu' is an allusion to this idea; the Avestan language word literally means "of surrendered (pesh-) body (-tan)," and is also used as a common adjective as a euphemism for "deceased" (also in a derogatary sense of "of forfeited body" in the context of capital offenses). The development of the legend of Peshotanu has been traced from that of a dead prince whose departed spirit is honored ("Yasht" 13.103) to that of the eschatological hero who is "he is immortal, undecaying, hungerless, and thirstless, living and predominant in both existences, those of the embodied beings and of the spirits." ("Denkard" 4.81)

With the objective of ending difficulties faced by farmers due to Feudalism an organisation called "Cochin karshaka sabha" formed with V.R.Krishnan Ezhuthachan as president and C. Achutha Menon as secretary. Brochures about the difficulties of farmers distributed by this organisation. "Cochin karshaka sabha" stood for permanent ownership for farmers in their field. Protest by karshaka sabha caused acceptance of "verumpatta kudiyan bill" in 13th February 1943 at Cochin Legislative Council. In 1944, part of the restructuring of the Prajamandalam, Communist sympathizers abandoned the membership in Prajamandalam. After this incident "Cochin karshaka sabha" divided into two as "All Cochin Kisan Congress" with V.R.Krishnan Ezhuthachan as its leader and "Cochin Karshaka sabha" with C. Achutha Menon as the leader. Later "All Cochin Kisan Congress" merged to "All India Kisan Congress".
Kunchan Nambiar
Nambiar's poetry lacks the high seriousness found in Ezhuthachan. The difference here is significant. The two are complementary. Just as Kilipattu seems to express the total personality of a writer like Ezhuthachan, the Thullal brings out the characteristic features of the personality of Nambiar. Between them they cover the entire spectrum of humanity, the entire gamut of human emotions.

Vedic priesthood
Comparison with the sacred texts of Zoroastrianism, a distinct religion with the same origins, shows the antiquity of terms for priests such as "*atharwan" (Vedic "atharvan"; cognate to Avestan "āθrauuan" / "aθaurun") and "*zhautar" (Ved. "hotar"; Av. "zaotar") "invoker, sacrificer". While "*zhautar" is well understood, the original meaning of "*atharwan" is unknown. The word "atharvan" appears in the Rig Veda (e.g., in RV 6.16.13 where Agni is said to have been churned by Atharvan from the mind of every poet). In the Younger Avesta, "āθrauuan" / "aθaurun" appears in a context that suggests "missionary," perhaps by metathesis from Indo-Iranian "*arthavan" "possessing purpose." However, a recent theory indicates that Proto Indo-Iranian "*atharwan" likely represents a substrate word from the unknown language of the BMAC civilization of Central Asia. It can be analyzed as BMAC "*athar-" plus the Indo-Iranian possessive suffix "*-wan", in which case "*atharwan" would be "one who possesses "*athar"". Though the meaning of "*athar" is unknown, Pinault speculates that it meant "superior force" and connects it to the Tocharian word for "hero". In the Upanishads, "atharvan" appears for example in "atharvāngiras", a compound of "atharvan" and "angiras", either two eponymous rishis or their family names.
