नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय: 700 साल का ज्ञान और उसका विनाश

नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय, प्राचीन भारत का एक अद्वितीय शिक्षा का केंद्र, जिसने शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में नए कीर्तिमान स्थापित किए थे। यह विश्वविद्यालय 5वीं शताब्दी में स्थापित किया गया था और यह अपने समय का सबसे बड़ा और सबसे प्रतिष्ठित शिक्षा संस्थान था। इस विश्वविद्यालय ने लगभग 700 वर्षों तक ज्ञान का प्रसार किया और पूरे विश्व से छात्र यहां अध्ययन करने आते थे।

नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय का परिसर बहुत विशाल था, जिसमें दस ��ड़े मठ और कई छोटे-छोटे मंदिर थे। यहां पर लाइब्रेरी भी थी, जिसे 'धर्मगंज' कहा जाता था, जिसमें हजारों पांडुलिपियाँ और ग्रंथ संग्रहीत थे। यह लाइब्रेरी तीन भवनों में विभाजित थी - रत्नसागर, रत्नोदधि और रत्नरंजक। यह विश्वविद्यालय न केवल बौद्ध धर्म के अध्ययन का केंद्र था, बल्कि यहां अन्य विषयों जैसे गणित, खगोलशास्त्र, चिकित्सा, तर्कशास्त्र और कला का भी अध्ययन होता था।

नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय में प्रवेश पाना बहुत कठिन था। यहां के विद्वान शिक्षक अपने समय के सबसे ज्ञानी और बुद्धिमान व्यक्तित्व थे। ह्वेनसांग, जो एक चीनी तीर्थयात्री थे, उन्होंने नालंदा में 17 साल तक अध्ययन किया और अपनी यात्रा वृतांत में इस विश्वविद्यालय की महानता का विस्तार से वर्णन किया है।

12वीं शताब्दी में बख्तियार खिलजी के आक्रमण के बाद नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय को जला दिया गया। कहा जाता है कि यहां की लाइब्रेरी में इतनी पुस्तकें थीं कि उन्हें जलने में कई महीने लगे। यह एक ऐसा आघात था जिससे भारतीय शिक्षा प्रणाली कभी उबर नहीं पाई।

नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय का विनाश भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप के सांस्कृतिक और शैक्षिक धरोहर पर एक गहरा आघात था। लेकिन इसके बावजूद, नालंदा का इतिहास आज भी हमें प्रेरित करता है और हमें यह याद दिलाता है कि भारत में शिक्षा और ज्ञान का कितना समृद्ध इतिहास रहा है।

आज नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय के अवशेष बिहार के नालंदा जिले में स्थित हैं, जो पर्यटकों और इतिहासकारों के लिए एक प्रमुख आकर्षण का केंद्र हैं। 2014 में, नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय को पुनःस्थापित किया गया और यह नए युग के छात्रों को शिक्षा का प्रकाश प्रदान कर रहा है।

The Ancient Art of Bhang Lassi: A Mellow Cannabis-Infused Beverage from India

Introduction

For over a thousand years, the Indian subcontinent has enjoyed a unique and traditional cannabis-infused beverage called bhang lassi. This drink is made from a combination of milk, spices, and bhang – a paste created by grinding marijuana leaves and flowers. While it may seem like an intoxicating concoction, the preparation method of bhang lassi ensures that it delivers a milder effect compared to other cannabis products. In this article, we will explore the history of bhang lassi, its cultural significance, and the science behind its gentle impact.

The History and Cultural Significance of Bhang Lassi

Bhang lassi has deep roots in Indian culture and has been consumed for various purposes, including medicinal, religious, and recreational. It is often associated with the Hindu deity Lord Shiva, who is believed to have used bhang to attain a state of meditation and relaxation. During the annual festival of Holi, bhang lassi is consumed as a symbol of breaking social barriers and promoting unity among people. In addition to its spiritual significance, bhang lassi has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. It is believed to help treat various ailments such as fever, digestive issues, and anxiety. Moreover, bhang lassi is also consumed for its mild euphoric effects, which are considered less potent than other forms of cannabis consumption.

The Science Behind Bhang Lassi's Mild Effects

Despite containing up to an ounce of cannabis flowers and leaves, bhang lassi does not deliver an overpowering effect. This is because the preparation method prevents the full extraction of THC, the psychoactive compound responsible for the "high" experienced when consuming cannabis. When making bhang lassi, the first step involves creating a cannabis water tea. This process does not heat the bhang above the temperature at which THC acid becomes psychoactive. As a result, only a small portion of the THC is activated and released into the water. Furthermore, since cannabinoids are not water-soluble, the majority of them remain unextracted during this step. The addition of milk to the cannabis water tea further dilutes the concentration of THC. Fats in the milk help bind with the remaining cannabinoids, but the overall effect remains mild due to the limited extraction process. This intentional preparation method aligns with the cultural and medicinal purposes of bhang lassi – providing a gentle, soothing experience rather than an overwhelming high.

Conclusion

Bhang lassi is a fascinating example of how ancient cultures have harnessed the power of cannabis for spiritual, medicinal, and recreational purposes. Its unique preparation method ensures that the drink delivers a milder effect, making it suitable for various occasions and users. As interest in cannabis-infused beverages grows globally, the traditional art of bhang lassi serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding and respecting the cultural context of such practices.

Remembering the Martyrs: Shaheed Diwas 23 March.

23 March is the anniversary of the day when three of India's most iconic freedom fighters - Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev - were hanged to death by the British colonial rulers. These young revolutionaries were just in their twenties, but they had already become symbols of the struggle for freedom in India. Their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to the cause of a free and independent India continue to inspire generations.

As we pay tribute to our martyrs on Shaheed Diwas, let us also renew our commitment to the values of freedom, justice, and equality that they stood for. Let us strive to build a society that is worthy of their sacrifices and aspirations. And let us never forget the debt of gratitude that we owe to these brave souls who fought and died for our freedom.

Jai Hind!
