Abha Marga…

Abha Marga; Journey of the Light…

This natural event is called “Vipakaya” in archaic Sanskrit language, also “AbhA mArga” in common Sanskrit, and it is considered as one of the sacred & holy manifestation of our world by Buddhists & Hinduists & most of the far-east philosophies or as the late Alan Watts preferred to call “Ways of Liberation”, by which Bodhisattva’s are provided with a Sacred-Gate for their voluntary descent to earth, for helping the other creatures & human-beings in their path to Moksha, while singing along the Sacred Song of the Liberation; “Moksha-Gita”…

Dark Grape Hyacinth…

Here’s a shot of a strange & acceptably rare species of flower, at least maybe in our country. Its from the Liliaceae (Lily) family. Scientific name of this flower is “Muscari commutatum”, & the common name for it is “Dark Grape Hyacinth” or “Narrow Leaved Grape Hyacinth”.

It truly has a strong odor & is slightly juicy & i feel its a little poisonous & not healthy to eat 😉 but however i think all the plants on earth are eatable but u can only eat some just once… 😀 u know…

Musk is the name originally given to a substance with a penetrating odor obtained from a gland of the male musk deer, which is situated between its stomach and genitals. The substance has been used as a popular perfume fixative since ancient times and is one of the most expensive animal products in the world.

The etymology of the name musk, originating from Sanskrit muská via Middle Persian mušk (Moshk), Late Greek -?????? (moschos), Late Latin muscus, Middle French musc and Middle English muske, hints at its trade route.

Muscari = Musk (or Moshk in persian), referring to the scent of its flowers (Greek); Musk, which as was explained above is a greasy secretion with a powerful odor, produced in a glandular sac beneath the skin of the abdomen of the male musk deer and used in the manufacture of perfumes.

commutatum = changeable, changed or changing; used for a species that is very similar to one already known. (Latin).
