#Actual mandrake root full#
When it accumulated in to a full month they treated as something dirty and avoided all good activities during that period. When the Vedic society used a lunar calendar unlike our modern solar calendar there was always a few days left as balance at the end of each year. The ‘Brahmanas’, the books that came immediately after Vedic Samahitas, call No13 a dirty number because the thirteenth month is called a dirty (mala) month. But this belief about No13 has a different origin.
This is because that Judas, who betrayed Jesus was the thirteenth person at the Last Supper. Unlucky No.13: The Christians think that number 13 unlucky. Some people compare it with the Saiva Siddhanta principle of Pasu, Pati,Pasam (Father,Son and Holy Spirit).Ģ1. they utter 12 (Dwathasa) names of Lord Vishnu and touches 12 places in the body.

Both these plant species may be different but the custom of hanging plants like neem leaves or Korai grass for medical reasons has been there for long. Even today Tamils in India hang the Gorai grass in their houses during Pongal or the Sankaranti festival. Barren women in the Near East hung the roots up in their houses. This is made up of two Sanskrit words mandra gorai meaning magical root. The scholars who identified this plant say that there is an alkaloid called mandragorine in it. Rachael’s barrenness was ended with the birth of Joseph after she had begged her sister ‘Give me, I pray thee, of thy son’s mandrakes’(Genesis 30). The Bible mentions a magic plant called ‘Mandrake’. *The word Lebanon in the Bible meaning ‘white’ is a corrupted from of the Sanskrit word ‘Lavanam’/salt which is also white.ġ8.MANDRAKE ( Mantra+ Gora= a root with magical properties) Actually it is the mirror image of the word ANNAM.
