In this segment, host Sowjanya explains the scientific and superstitious reason why some people wake up on their side after a good night's rest
The inclination to wake up on the right side after a night's sleep isn't universally applicable but has some cultural, personal, or physical influences. In traditional Hindu belief, starting the day by placing the right foot first on the floor is considered auspicious. Biomechanically, sleeping on the right side may aid digestion and alleviate pressure on vital organs. Some suggest it prevents acid reflux due to the stomach's positioning. However, the side people wake up on can vary due to comfort, habits, and the body's natural repositioning during sleep, making it a subjective practice rather than a universal phenomenon.

In this segment, host Sowjanya tells listeners the significance of the Crow in Indian mythology and the role the bird plays even today.
In Indian mythology, the crow holds multifaceted significance across various cultural narratives. Revered in Hinduism, it symbolizes both positive and negative attributes. Lord Shani, associated with the planet Saturn, is often depicted with a crow, representing vigilance and spirituality. On the contrary, the crow is linked with ancestors and foretelling in some folk beliefs. Additionally, the Mahabharata features a pivotal event where a crow disrupts Yudhishthira's attempt to quench the thirst of a dying person, leading to a curse. This dichotomy illustrates the crow's portrayal as an omen, messenger, and harbinger of both blessings and misfortune in Indian mythology.

In this segment, host Sowjanya discusses the important topic of the GI tag and tells listeners why it is important in today's world.
A Geographical Indication (GI) tag denotes a certification that identifies products originating from a specific geographical location, possessing qualities, reputation, or characteristics associated uniquely with that region. It safeguards against imitation and assures consumers of product authenticity and quality. This tag, granted by governing bodies, protects traditional methods, cultural heritage, and local expertise integral to the product's distinctiveness. Products like foods, handicrafts, and industrial goods, adorned with the GI tag, promote economic value for local producers, supporting rural economies. The tag not only upholds a region's cultural identity but also fosters market demand and elevates the product's marketability on a global scale.

In this segment, host Sowjanya gives listeners an insight into the history and significance of the Amarnath Yatra.
The Amarnath Yatra, a sacred pilgrimage, connects devotees to the mystical origins of Lord Shiva. The revered Amarnath Cave, nestled in the Himalayas, is believed to be the place where Lord Shiva revealed the secret of immortality (Amar Katha) to his consort, Goddess Parvati. Legend has it that this divine revelation was heard by a pair of doves, symbolizing peace and devotion, leading to the sanctification of the cave.
Pilgrims undertake the challenging Amarnath Yatra annually to seek Lord Shiva's blessings by trekking through arduous terrains. The icy Shivling formed inside the cave is considered a divine manifestation of Shiva. This journey symbolizes spiritual purification, endurance, and unwavering faith, connecting devotees to the ancient legend and the transcendental essence of Lord Shiva's divine wisdom.

In this segment, host Sowjanya takes listeners through the history of India and why it is called "Bharat".
The name "Bharat" holds deep cultural and historical significance in India. It traces back to ancient scriptures and mythology, specifically from the revered Sanskrit epic, the Mahabharata. According to Hindu mythology, Bharat was a legendary emperor and an ancestor of the Pandavas. His reign was considered a golden era of righteousness and prosperity. The term "Bharatvarsha" or "Bharat" was used to denote the region ruled by King Bharat, encompassing present-day India and beyond. Over time, "Bharat" became synonymous with the Indian subcontinent in various texts and scriptures. It reflects a sense of heritage, pride, and continuity with the ancient past, serving as a reminder of India's historical legacy, diverse cultures, and the enduring spirit of its people.

In this segment, host Sowjanya tells the story of how the Indian subcontinent got its name, through different eras in history.
The name "India" finds its origins in the ancient Sanskrit word "Sindhu," referring to the mighty river Indus, which flowed through the region. Over time, the Persians adapted this term as "Hindu," using it to describe the land beyond the river. The Greeks, through their contacts with the Persians, transformed this to "Indos" and "Indika," which later evolved into "India" in English. Historically, the name encapsulates the rich heritage and diverse cultures that thrived along the Indus River, encompassing a vast expanse of land, traditions, languages, and civilizations. Today, "India" symbolizes a nation imbued with a mosaic of history, cultures, and identities.
