"Purgatory Voyage" by Adarsh Kumar Khure is a mythological hindu fiction where a Priest narrates the story of a person who went to Yamlok in his present life. The flashback plot was set in 925 AD and revolves around Kalidas aka Kali. Kalidas is a god stricken virtuous peasant living in Bindu Khand ( now the adjoining parts of Indian states Uttar pradesh and Madyapradesh). The king  of Bindu Khand, Bindu Dev Varman decided to go to Yamlok through a Tunnel in Bharmaur to resolve the unpalatable drought experienced by his state. Kalidas somehow went along with King to Yamlok and came to know the secrets of Karma and life after death.


While reading this part, I felt like reading a mini version of GarudaPurana. Kalidas got to know about the 21 main hells and 21 heavens but whoever went on a 12 days purgatory voyage would forget whatever happened when he returns back to his normal earthly life. The sad part comes when Kalidas tries to enlighten the King after 12 days Purgatory voyage. The king was enraged at hearing how he was brutally tortured in hell. He jailed and expelled Kalidas. And thereafter his journey continues in different places of Himachal Pradesh. 


In my point of view, the whole story seems to be like a real incident. All the places and historical facts match perfectly. The book was well penned after thorough research and detailed analysis. It's a short read, easy going book in terms of language. Recommended for mythological lovers. 


My best wishes for the author @adarsh_kumar_khare 💐

The linguistic affinities and divergences between the phonetic systems of Korean and Dravidian languages

T  his article delves into the linguistic affinities and divergences between the phonetic systems of Korean and Dravidian languages, drawing insights from Chapter 1 of "A Comparative Grammar Of The Korean Language and the Dravidian Languages of India" by Homer B. Hulbert. In this seminal work, Hulbert explores the intricate parallels and distinctions that exist between these two language families, shedding light on their historical connections and typological characteristics. By examining phonemic contrasts, phonotactic patterns, and other phonological features, Hulbert offers a comprehensive analysis that enriches our understanding of linguistic diversity and evolution. Through this exploration, we aim to uncover the shared linguistic heritage and unique traits that define both Korean and Dravidian languages, contributing to a deeper appreciation of their rich cultural and linguistic significance.  fig.1: Similarities between Tamil ( தமிழ் ) and Korean ( 한글 ), the word ...

Null hypothesis Vs. Alternative hypothesis

  Null hypothesis Vs. Alternative hypothesis A hypothesis is a claim or statement about a population parameter. Usually, the results of a sample are applied to generalize on an entire population(s). For example, in a class of 30 students, 12 students are sampled for their test scores. The result is that the average score is 83. This result would, however, vary with another sample. A hypothesis can be a null hypothesis or an alternative hypothesis. A null hypothesis is a statement what the majority holds to be true. The opposite or complement of a null hypothesis is an alternative hypothesis. Let us understand a problem: A light bulb manufacturer claims that the average life of their light bulb is 1000 hours. A worker believes it is not 1000 hours. He tests the claim by taking a sample of 500 bulbs. A null hypothesis (Ho) is an accepted truth and assumes that the alternative claim is false. An alternative hypothesis(H1) is what the researcher is trying to prove. In this problem, the...

BIOLOGICAL ANNIHILATION _6TH MASS EXTINCTION_2100 NO EARTH ✅

During the past 500 million years, there were five "mass extinctions". This was a  study by Gerardo Paul Ehrlich and Rodolfo.  The big five mass extinctions Late Devonian, 375 million years before - 75% of species lost. End Permian, 251 million years before - 96% of species lost. End Triassic, 200 million years before - 80% of species lost. End Cretaceous, 66 million years before - 76% of all species lost.  Scientists say we've entered a sixth mass extinction.  According to a  new study , humans are the primary cause. Earth is on the verge of sixth mass extinction.  Scientists warn that the "6th mass extinction" of wildlife is more severe than perceived. Scientists had analyzed both common and rare species of animals world. The Earth’s sixth mass extinction is more severe than thought. It would appear by just counting lost or surviving species. The population of all species is in decline. Their only natural habitat is decreasing worse. ...
