amrita

AMRITA (Sanskrit immortal) in Hindu mythology is a special drink, the elixir of immortality, obtained by the gods from the ocean at the beginning of creation.

Mythological dictionary

amrita

(other - ind.) - "immortal" - the divine drink of immortality. The Vedic concept of soma is closely related to this drink, both concepts are partially interchangeable. One of the main Hindu myths about churning by the gods and asuras of the World Ocean is dedicated to A.'s prey, according to which the god of healing Dhanvantari took out the bowl of A. from the ocean. The god Narayana (option: Vishnu) took the form of a beautiful girl and took the asuras with him, and the rest of the gods, meanwhile, began to drink A. Returning, the asuras entered the battle for A. with the gods, in which they were defeated and were thrown into the bowels of the earth and on Ocean floor.

Amrita

Amrita- in Hindu mythology - the drink of the gods, making them immortal. Tradition says that amritu obtained by churning milky ocean (kshirodamathana). Amrita was delivered to the gods by Mohini.

As Georges Dumézil points out, the concept of amrita goes back to the Proto-Indo-European religion and is identical to ambrosia.

Considering the history of mythology and religions, an incredible fact is revealed about the gods, who appear as immortal beings, or at least lived for many thousands of years. In ancient religious texts that mention the immortality or longevity of the gods, this is associated with a certain type of food that only the gods are allowed to eat - the elixir of life.

The gods had to regularly take the mysterious foods to maintain immortality, strength and longevity. Many myths refer to the fact that if mortals ate the food of the gods, they themselves became immortal, like gods. However, having tasted the "elixir of life" secretly, one could

One of the main references to the food of immortals is found in Greek mythology. In stories about Greek gods it is written that ambrosia and nectar were the food and drink of immortality, and this first appears in Greek mythology referring to the birth of Zeus.

Before the "invention" or "discovery" of ambrosia and nectar, it was said that the gods would feed on "sniffing" their dead enemies, as if their food would be the energy of dead souls.

NECTAR AND AMBROSIA ARE THE FOOD OF THE IMMORTALS.

In one version of mythology, Ambrosia (giving youth and immortality) descended from a magical goat named Amalthea, who nursed Zeus when the baby was hidden from Kronos' father. But the story of Amalthea, the “gentle goddess,” is supplemented by an artifact in the form of a bull horn.

Yes, that very biblical "cornucopia" that provided an unlimited supply of ambrosia, and contributed to the production of any kind of food for any living creature.

“White holy doves carried ambrosia, and a large eagle with shining wings flew at incredible speed through the sky, where he collected nectar and brought it to the baby Zeus.”

When the demigod Achilles was born, the mother rubbed the child with ambrosia, and he became practically immortal. However, practically does not mean absolutely, the mother, rubbing Achilles, held him by the heel, the remaining only mortal part of the body, causing problems for the heroic demigod in the future

It was said that ambrosia was used by the gods to cure all diseases, heal scars and wounds from numerous battles, and make their bodies beautiful again. Obviously, if mortals were treated with ambrosia, their bodies would remain in perfect condition forever. In other texts we see that ambrosia was abundant in the gardens of the Hesperides.

The Hesperides were inhabited by nymphs who had a fondness for a blissful garden in a far corner of the world, the place where ambrosia was brought to God Zeus.

But immortal food also appears in the Bible, where we can see similarities between the gardens of the Hesperides and the Gardens of Eden. According to Old Testament, a person was forbidden to eat fruits from the Tree of Life:

“... from the earth, the Lord God created the whole tree, pleasing to the eye and useful for eating. The tree of life was in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil…”

When Adam and Eve plucked the fruit of the Forbidden Tree of Knowledge, it seems that God warned the other Gods to be on their guard, because a person should not eat the fruit of the Tree of Life and become immortal like them.

It is difficult for us today to understand whether God was angry or not, but he said: “Behold, a man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. It is impossible for him to stretch out his hand and pluck the fruit of the tree of life, eat and live forever ... "

SOMA IS THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.

Moving on to Zoroastrian and Vedic mythologies, here we also meet the mention of a unique drink for the gods, known as Soma and Haoma. The special drink of the immortals was made by extracting the juices from the stems of certain plants that are unknown to us today.

But there is no doubt that Soma and Haoma gave immortality. Hydra, the leader of the Devas and God Agni, is mentioned in the Rig Veda as having consumed large quantities of the immortal drink.

If we turn to Egyptian mythology and the legends of Thoth and Hermes Trismegistus, we will see how the gods drink the mysterious "white drops", also called "liquid gold". The recipe for the drink is unknown, but it gave immortality and youth.

Sumerian texts mention the milk of Ninhursaga, referring to one of the seven great deities of Sumer, a goddess of fertility who is associated with a cow (similar to the magical goat Amalthea of ​​Greek mythology).

Gods and kings ancient Sumer drank "magic milk" to become strong and immortal. In the epic of Gilgamesh, we learn about a plant that carried the function of the "elixir" of immortality. But this recipe for youth and longevity was preserved as the greatest secret gods.

In the Hindu religion, the gods took the milk of Amrita, the divine drink collected and drunk by the gods, gave them immortality and long youth.

The unknown "milk" was apparently in the sky, as the gods collected nectar with the help of a serpent. Understandably, people were forbidden to drink the precious drink.

In Chinese mythology, "Peaches of Immortality" are known as the food of the immortals. Eating peaches ensured eternal existence. At the same time, if people eat this fruit, they will also become immortal.

IN SEARCH FOR THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.

The search for the elixir of Life has been the greatest undertaking for many people. In medieval times, alchemists searched for the Philosopher's Stone, believed to be needed to create an elixir and also to convert lead into gold. However, nothing is known about the discovery of the mysterious artifact.

Bernard Trevisan, 15th-century alchemist says: By placing the Philosopher's Stone in mercury water, you can create a delicious product - the elixir of immortality.

But all we have in support of the theory of the alchemists who allegedly found the elixir of life is the sad hoax of Cagliostro.

Nectar and Ambrosia, the Tree of Life, Amrita, Peaches of Immortality, Soma and Haoma - are all these just mentioning the imagination of ancient ancestors? Or is there an element of truth in this that can be?

Could immortality or longevity really be acquired through the consumption of "special" food, which has always been considered a privilege reserved for the elite of Olympus?

Nevertheless, the search for the "Elixir of Life" is an exciting undertaking, and perhaps one day it may be found for mortal people. And yet, if the gods used the "tinctures" of immortality and it worked for mortals, then ... but were they gods?

At dawn and at sunset, flowers, trees, grasses are covered with small, crystal clear, iridescent dew drops. From time immemorial, people have seen the blessing that Heaven gives to the earth in dew. Serbian legends say that stars sow dew, Ukrainian traditions say that it falls from the goddess of love.

Other Slavic peoples believed that it was sown on the land by mermaids. And the ancient Greeks - that it appears from the moonbeams or from the tears of the goddess of the morning dawn, Eos. Irida, deity of the rainbow, messenger of the gods, dressed in a dress of sparkling dew.

A divine, heavenly gift, dew was considered the nectar of immortality. In Hindu mythology, amrita, a special drink, the elixir of immortality, was called "sweet dew". The Chinese Sweet Dew Tree, growing in the center of the world, on Mount Kun-Lun, is also a symbol of immortality. In Mesoamerica, the same qualities were attributed to the dew that appeared on the sacred cactus. "Gate of the sweetest dew" figuratively called Buddhist teachings. In Kabbalah, dew is a symbol of resurrection: the dead are reborn by the Dew of Light, evaporating from the Tree of Life.



Appearing on the border of two periods - light and darkness, dew has magical powers. The girls washed themselves with pink dew, which reflected the light of the morning dawn, in order to find beauty and health. It was believed that dew preserves the power of the rising, emerging sun, and therefore on special days, for example, on the day of St. George (Bulgarian tradition), at sunrise, they rolled on the grass on which dew fell. A Russian folk tale tells how Dobrynya Nikitich was forced to ride in the morning dew from childhood: from this he became so strong that from the age of six he could uproot oaks.

Especially wonderful healing and magical power dew takes on mermaid week, on feast of Ivan Kupala (July 7 ) , on Dew Festival ( June 24 ) observed in northern countries. These days, the mermaid Rosyanitsa saturates the herbs with life-giving power, which is transmitted to animals and people.

Celtic girls on Beltane 1st of May ) went to wash their faces with dew and made a wish before dawn.

Dew is associated with the dawn and the sky and has always been a symbol of crystal purity, the purest substance. Therefore, in Hinduism, it has become a symbol of the divine Word, in Christianity - the Holy Spirit. The Slavs call dew the tears of the Mother of God - tears of tenderness, compassion and purity. For alchemists, dew is the germ philosopher's stone and one of the symbols of the primal matter. In secret societies, the emblem with a drop of dew was widespread, it reflected a very ancient idea that a person is a "microcosm", the universe in miniature.

The whole world is reflected in a drop of dew, from the sun to the smallest creature. But the main thing is that the dewdrop passes the light of the sun through itself, and it, refracting, begins to shimmer with many colors. So is a person - if his soul is pure, he reflects the divine light.

The myths of some peoples say that the souls of people, having soared into the sky like a bird after death, return to the world of the living - leave wings and fall to the ground as dew. The Indian Vedas say: "The path of the ancestors leads to the moon, from where souls fall with dew (Soma), which arose from the month (Soma)." For Neoplatonists, a drop is a natural shell of the soul (the water surrounding something does not just protect, it protects: the space inside it becomes pure and sacred). There is a saying: "Children are the Divine dew." The combination of rites of bathing in dew and marriage ceremonies and games on Ivan Kupala is considered a manifestation of this ancient idea of ​​reincarnation.

Morning dew was recognized as an effective remedy for eye diseases. The patient had to go to the meadow in the morning, collect the dew from the grass and wash his eyes with it.

The best healing qualities were attributed to dew collected before sunrise or at sunrise on Midsummer Day (July 7). Usually, to collect dew, they spread a tablecloth in the meadow, waited for it to be saturated with life-giving moisture, and then squeezed the tablecloth into a pot or basin, poured the squeezed dew into a bottle and smeared it on the eyes.


A patient with an ache should have gone six times in the morning dawns to the meadow and rolled there in the dew on his back, saying: “Dawn, dewy dawn! Take it, take away the aches and writhing from me, take it to heaven from age to age. With rheumatism, one had to walk barefoot in the dew early in the morning. And to get rid of warts, they were moistened with dew from the garden. The dew collected from medicinal herbs was very much appreciated.


Same healing properties, like rainwater and dew, has hail. Especially often it was used in the old days for toothache. In this case, folk healers suggested either chewing hailstones or rinsing your mouth with water obtained after thawing the collected hailstones.

In Japanese culture in ancient times on September 15th there was a festival of admiring the moon (tsukimi matsuri). It was believed that it was then that it was the brightest of the year, and the moon hare crushes the leaves of the laurel that grows there in the mortar, prepares medicines from them, and therefore dew on the night of September 15 considered curative.

To the question How did the gods of antiquity preserve immortality and youth? "specified by the author Natalia the best answer is
Time flies with great speed - the speed of centuries ... more and more secrets are being revealed to mankind. The knowledge that only the elite knew before is now "available" to mere "mortals"... The elixir of immortality is a fabulous substance that has the ability to rejuvenate the human body and prolong its life to infinity. The elixir of immortality is mentioned in the legends and traditions of many peoples as a kind of "food of the Gods"...
Gods Ancient Greece enjoyed Ambrosia, giving them youth and immortality. According to some sources, this is the divine equivalent of oil and fat, which was invented by Demeter (or it is produced daily by the moon). .at the poetess Sappho, the concept of Ambrosia was mixed with the concept of nectar (drink of the gods) ... according to other sources, Ambrosia, the gift of the sea - algae that grew in the shallow water of the sea until the ocean level rose by 150 meters .. .
Gods ancient india enjoyed Amrita ... in Hindu mythology - the drink of the gods, making them immortal. Tradition says that Amrita was obtained by churning the milky sea (kshirodamathana) ... the concept of Amrita goes back to the Proto-Indo-European religion and is identical to Ambrosia ... .
The Iranian gods drank - Haoma... The cult of Haoma dates back to the ancient Iranian period, the image of Haoma has an exact correspondence with the Indian Soma in the Vedic cult of India. Used for religious ceremonies. It was made from the milk of several animals with fly agarics, sometimes the fermented juice of plants with hemp and opium ...
Gods ancient egypt drank the water of immortality - AB-I-KHAIT ... mystical water that restores youth and brings eternal life, Arabic analogue of the alchemical elixir.. .
P.S.
Worship of Soma - the personified drug - should have had a detrimental effect on the state of ancient Indian society. In wartime, Soma inspired the fighters, inspired them to heroic deeds, inspired hope for heavenly bliss after a heroic death. But in peacetime, cultists and rulers intoxicated with soma gradually degraded, and this should have caused acute crises of civilization, its stagnation and decline ... So it is most plausible that the divine soma was called the drug, the secret of preparation of which was known only to the initiates, the priests .. .
Comparison of Soma with Ambrosia in this case implies an extraordinary action, ascension to heaven, to the ghostly world of the gods ...
P.S.
P.S.
... in our time there are many drinks - elixirs that prolong the life of mere mortals... .allows you to climb a couple of steps of immortality... .
