Kodam Pana – An enormous tree that has a mystical life

Kodam Pana is the Malayalam name of the tree of this topic. I know a picture would have be helpful, however, thanks to the non-reliant technological things that we may end up purchasing sometime. I cannot share with resources, that I have now. However, there is one interesting fact that I would wish to share:
This enormous tree with enormous leaves stops taking nutrients from the soil once it flowers. It’s trunk contains all reserves and it may flower about 5 times using the reserve in it’s trunk. The yield from this tree is an alcoholic drink. And the leaves are a favorite with elephants.
The tree dies when it’s reserves are exhausted. If this is a scientific fact it is astounding to hear it from people who narrate this story with non-reference to scientific journals. How, di the ancients make such great observation. I might be just discounting their scientific knowledge or their access to current scientific knowledge.

All these little devices, that do not have screws in them are things you can split open and push them back in place like no harm was ever brought to them. You do not have to be scared of thinking that you would break them. You may break them only if you do not check for orientation on certain bigger devices that may not fit in your palm, but for the smaller ones you can just pull t

Atheism Concepts Change with Geographic Location

1. The educated adopt atheism, due to blind faith in scientific declaration that end up as stupidity due to ignorance of many unconsidered parameters. They now become unanalytic brains, believing that instruments and machines measure everything. 2. The ignorant adopt atheism due his frustration with the false gods that he served. These gods could either be his own version of traditional gods or a god of his own creation. Scientific ideologies is not important to him. He is just escaping blind faith and now for him it is every human knowledge. Both lack or ignore the knowledge of the true higher power, that is the Almighty, and God of all things. Every sinner would misrepresent Jesus. The Bible talks about who God really is.
