Welcome to the podcast, SOTOMAYOR of Mystics and Mistakes. The guru, this is from Sodom, who wants to know what is the significance of beetle leaves when they're also

introduced to the goddess? Oh that means you didn't eat it. You know people look at soot on the beetle leaf and tell future or read.

So there is a culture where the lamp suit is collected on the on the bitter leaf.

Maybe many of you don't know what is a bitter leaf.

In India it's very important, it's a very good digestive, it is all alkaline in nature if you have any

consumed small quantities of poison in the food that you've eaten it neutralizes

all that any acidic poisons are neutralized, including cobra venom.

It could neutralize that. And to some extent it's not that it will completely prevent, but it brings down various aspects.

So at the end of the meal people consume this wet the lay or villa deli. Vittelae or Willae de la, or Tambul. In a martial culture, if somebody picks up the Tamilpaku, it means he is taking on a risky endeavor.

mission. Today in modern city in the crime

city in the urban areas of India

in the in the crime gangs they call it soupari. That means I have picked up a superi on you means I'm going to come and assassinate you. So they it just the word spreads. So there is a

is just the word spreads there is a superi on him

Whoever kills him will get the superi. It comes with a price of course

So this is coming from a much ancient usage of if I pick up the Thambul

that means I'm ready for a suicide mission.

These two things have been related that human activity could be taken to another level

by consuming this leaf and that leaf works only if it has at least an inch of

stem. If you cut it close it doesn't have the same thing. This leaf, I know almost any leaf can be used but this particular leaf

If you put it on water, the stem will always point towards the north. You know this? If you

put it in the water in still water it will naturally turn this way and put a point to the north.
