Hope you all be healthy. King used Somaras in ancient times. Somaras is mentioned in our scriptures and ancient books. After all, what was this Somaras and why it was used so much with solar. Was this Somaras a name for today’s alcohol? Let us tell you about it today. Friends, if you have not yet followed us, then do it now so that we can reach you all the information on time.
Some people call Somaras as alcohol. It is said that King used to consume Maharaja Somaras for intoxication. Before we tell you something further, before that you must read these line which are found in our ancient religious texts, it should be received by Indradev, who has a strong desire for Somapan, a pure curd squeezed. Apart from this, it is written in the Rigveda that O Vayyadev, this squeezed Somaras is prepared by mixing it in the milk of the cow and drink it. When the gods have been called in our texts to consume this Somaras, then how can it be an alcohol ie alcohol.
Often supporters of alcohol have been heard saying that even the gods used to drink alcohol? What was Somaras, alcohol was there. Even in the ancient Vedic period was the prevalence of alcohol as Somaras? Or the gods used any intoxicating object like alcohol? Somewhere they all used to drink cannabis, as it is prevalent about Shiva that they used to drink cannabis. But there is no mention in any Purana or scripture that Shiva used to drink cannabis. Many similar misconceptions have been prevalent in Hinduism, whose consequences are also being seen.
Actually, there is a difference between Somaras, alcohol and Surapan. In the Rigveda, it has been strongly condemned-
.Hratsu Pitaso Yudhantte Durmadaso Na Suraiyam.
That is, those who drink or drink drugs often create war, beatings or ravages.
If Somaras was not alcohol then what was it?
These verses of the Vedas can be known what Somaras was. It is written in a Rigveda in the Rigveda that ‘This squeezed pure Dadhimishit Somaras, Indradev, who has a strong desire for Sompan, should be attained.
(Rigveda-1/5/5)… O Vayuvadev! It is prepared by mixing in milk due to the squeezed Somaras being spicy. Come and drink it. (Rigveda-1/23/1)
. Edunimnam Niyate.
(Rigveda-1/30/2)… That is, Indradev should get milk mixed with thousands of pitches mixed in Somaras, which flows like water flowing downwards.
In all these mantras, there is talk of mixing curd and milk in Som, while it is known that milk and curd cannot be added to alcohol. Milk can be added to cannabis but not yogurt, but here it is being described in which yogurt can also be added. Therefore, it becomes clear that whatever the Somaras was, but it was not alcohol or cannabis at all and which did not even get intoxicated, that is, it was not a harmful thing. This was the main substance of dedication to the gods and many yagyas used to use multiple use. The most Somaras are Indra and Vayu. Pusha etc. are also offered som sometimes, such as Panchamrit is currently offered.
After all, if there is no wine, then what and where is…
There was a creeper by the name Som: It is believed that the vines named Som are found in the mountain ranges. There is a mention of the foundation of its vines in many mountainous regions like Tumor, Mahendra Giri of Orissa, Himachal hills, Vindhyachal, Malay etc. Some scholars believe that Som plant is found on the hills of Afghanistan. It is a dark almighty plant without leaves.
Som on 1. The juice of the heavenly creeper and 2. The juice of the celestial moon is also considered. There are two places of the origin of Som- according to the Rigveda, there are two prominent places of Som’s origin- 1. Swarg and 2. Writer Mountains.
The heavenly som is imagined as the moon. In the Chandogya Upanishad, Som Raja is called food in the gods. The image of Som and Chandra is explained in the Kauratki Brahmin: ‘View Moon is Som. When Somlata is brought, the moon enters it. When someone buys Mon, with the idea that ‘the visual moon is Mon; The same juice should be paid. ‘
Trit was among the ancient gods. He made Som and Indradi had praised many gods from time to time. Mahatma Gautam had three sons. All three were monks. His names were Ekat, Dwit and Trit. Among the three of them were the most partners and potential sages of fame. Later, after the death of Mahatma Gautam, all his Yajman started respecting the three sons. Trit became the most popular among the three.
Iffedra: A few years ago, some people identified the plant called IFEDRA in Iran with Som. Small twigs of Iffedra have been found in the temple complex called Togolok-21 in South-East Turkmenistan in utensils. These utensils were behaved in the ritual of Sompan. Although the search for this decisive evidence continues. However, people use it as sexual medicine.
‘Sanjeevani herb’ : Some scholars call it ‘Sanjeevani Booti’. The description of the compulsion to not recognize Som is found in the Ramayana. Hanuman goes to the Himalayas twice, once on the unconsciousness of both Rama and Lakshmana and once only on Laxman’s unconscious, but ‘Som’ is not identified, he uproots the entire mountain. Both times Vaidya Sushen of Lanka is able to identify the real soma.
If we are the ninth ‘Som Mandal’ of the Rigveda If read the qualities of Soma described in it, it meets the qualities of Sanjeevani Booti, this proves that Som must have been a Sanjeevani Booti. There is a description of Somaras in many places in the Rigveda. At one place, so much availability and circulation of Som has been shown that even humans as well as cows have been said to be filled with somaras.
Method of making somaras
. Ni Dhehi Goradhi Tvchi. (Rigveda Sukta 28 Verse 9)
That is, removing the soma executed by the vessel and the pestle, place it on the seat of the holy Kusha and keep the residual on the holy skin to filter it.
..Shydhi: Som: Sunot: Ptanambhishunvanti.-Nirukta Shastra (11-2-2)
That is, Mon is a medicine that we grind and extract its juice.
‘Gavashiram’ makes ‘Dadhyashiraram’ in curd when Mon is mixed with cow’s milk. Mixing with honey or ghee was also mixed. The process of making Som Ras is of great importance in Vedic Yajnas. It has three stages- perna, filtering and mixing. Its detailed and lively description is available in Vedic literature.
Indra, not only the fire, is not only a fire, and even Vedic deities, for the Somaras obtained by grinding the stalks of Som with stones and filtering with a sieve of sheep wool, only then the priests used to offer somaras to these gods in the whole legislation.
Later, he used to be satisfied as a prasad. Nowadays, Panchamrit has replaced Somaras, which is a belief of Som. In some later ancient scriptures, there are also the supplies of guilt and forgiveness to offer alternative substances as a compulsion to offer soma to the gods.
Benefits of drinking somaras
The miraculous invention of Vedic sages- Somaras is a substance that acts like Sanjeevani. While it retains the youth of a person, it is a full sattvic, extremely forceful, age-enhancing and a medicine to destroy the effect of food.

That is, Mon is very tasty, sweet, succulent. Its drink becomes powerful. He becomes unbeatable.
In the scriptures, Somaras is considered a strength in the cosmic sense, but a parlokik meaning of it is also seen. In the high state of cultivation, a type of juice is produced within the person, which only knowledgeable can know.

Somam Brahmano Vidurn Tasyashanati Kashan.
That is, many people believe that what they take only in medicine, it is not som. A Somaras is also within us, which is the ultimate element, which is not eaten, only can be obtained by knowledgeables.
Kanva Rishis have stated the effect of Som on humans in this way- ‘It protects the body, protects against accidents, removes disease, relieves plagues, gives pleasure and comfort, increases age and promotes property. In addition, it protects from hatred, protects the enemies from anger and hatred, produces eccentric thoughts, makes the sinner experience prosperity, calms the anger of the gods and makes him immortal ‘.
