Screenshot of Pinterest Board Welcome to my Epics of India Pinterest board. I'm utilizing this board for all things related to this course. For example, one of the images from my story and extra credit came from Pinterest.

I've used this site as inspiration for so many small projects that range from room renovations to how to lose 1000 calories in one workout. 

Example of a Preta 1. Yaksha : I read about Yakshas in one of my peers' posts. I really though that these spiritual beings were interesting as they are able to shape-shift. I also learned that there are darker versions of Yaksas called bhuta. 2. Bhuta : These are supernatural creatures as well. There are bhutas in every religion; however, they are all represented differently. In the Indian culture, bhutas are restless souls prohibited from entering heaven or hell. 3. Bhuta led me to Pretas : Pretas are invisible mummies that usually travel with demons. These Pretas are usually reincarnated into another body, but they cannot eat or drink. 4. Akasha  is the term that encompasses all of the elements and beings from which everything thing is made in the Hindu culture. Akasha means sky and is depicted as a fifth element, sound.

Flickr Due Today Do Today ~~~ This little rhyme-like, sing-songy tale has been plaguing me for several weeks. I have completely abandoned my schedule that I created at the beginning of the semester. Since the beginning of the semester, my extracurricular activities and academic studies have really escalated. Most of my time has been dedicated to studying my anatomy and physiology course and attending labs. It seems as though I've like I have a prioritization issue, which; however, it can be very difficult maintaining courses in two locations. My A&P course requires me to drive to Oklahoma City. In addition to this course, I just started another six week online course that requires a lot article reading. On top of all of my course work, I have had to deal with medical complications. I recently found out that I'm going to to need surgery. With that being said, I 'm going to need to revamp my schedule accordingly. My goal for next week is to not use the

Sakuntala This story talks about an Emperor Dushyanta who was hunting for antelope until approached and befriended by two hermits who showed him the holy place of the hermits and the protector of the forests and wild animals, Sakuntala. Instead of making the hermits friendly, I think that I will make them thieves. The storied used a lot of imagery concerning the animals and serenity of the forest. I believe that I will implement the same principle as well. This story also focuses on how the King takes a liking to Sakuntalal and her beauty. I want to create a love story about how they fall in love in the midst of all of the chaos taking place in the story. I still want the story to have a modern setting. I may use the story line from Fifty First Dates or Dear John . Bibliography: Indian Epics Story Book Dushyanta and Sakuntala

The Sacred Cow The story begins with the monarch, Visvamitra sitting on his throne wrestling about how he's going to interrupt the peace in his kingdom. Visvamitra is bored with the happy pattern of his people and the kingdom, it is too calm. I found that I could include this story line into a new story that pertains to the warlord from More than a Charm. The warlord innately would want to start a war. Furthermore, the monarch went out with his flock to visit a saint name Vasishtha. The king was going to find some way to receive a blessing for his war or find someone to war with. The most interesting thing about Vasishtha s that he possessed a magical cow, Sabala. The saint asked him and his fighting men to stay for season; however the king was impatient. He commanded his men to capture Sabala and she was resistant. The kid did not know the magical power that she possessed. I think that I will make Sabala a maiden instead of a cow but describe her with similar characteristics.
