श्रीभगवानुवाच |
इमं विवस्वते योगं प्रोक्तवानहमव्ययम् |
विवस्वान्मनवे प्राह मनुरिक्ष्वाकवेऽब्रवीत् || 1||
BG 4.1: The Supreme Lord Shree Krishna said: I taught this eternal science of Yog to the Sun-god, Vivasvan, who passed it on to Manu; and Manu in turn instructed it to Ikshvaku.
commentary:Merely imparting invaluable knowledge to someone is not enough. The recipients of that knowledge must appreciate its value and have faith in its authenticity. Only then will they put in the effort required to implement it practically in their lives. In this verse, Shree Krishna establishes the credibility and importance of the spiritual wisdom he is bestowing on Arjun. Shree Krishna informs Arjun that the knowledge being imparted unto him is not newly created for the convenience of motivating him into battle. It is the same eternal science of Yog that he originally taught to Vivasvan, or Sun God, Surya, who imparted it to Manu, the original progenitor of humankind; Manu in turn taught it to Ikshvaku first king of the Solar dynasty. This is the descending process of knowledge, where someone who is a perfect authority on the knowledge passes it down to another who wishes to know.........for further reading click here

The Indians were the
first to make the corn husk doll. Corn husks were dried, tied, and fashioned
into men, women and children. All additional features were made of corn hush
Faces were painted, and sticks were used to make arms and sometimes legs.
The corn husk doll you
will make differ from the original Indian design. This doll is created with
yarn, which when properly tied produces all of the parts of the body. You
creativity and imagination will transform these characterless shapes into your
favorite storybook figures. Use other materials t create clothing, and glue on
facial features.
Things You Need: 12 corn husks yarn,
string or cord
Get the husks from 2 or 3
ears of corn. Soak them in water until they are soft and easy to bend.
- Put together 3 corn husks that are the same length and fold them
in half.
- Tie a string one inch from the fold to make a head.
- For the arms, cut two corn husk leaves about 5 inches
long. Tie strings 1/2 inch from end to make hands
- Carefully part the husks of the body and slide arms through into
place.
- Tie string around the body just below the arms to hold them in
place.
- Paint or use markers to make a face and clothes on the doll. You
may also use scraps of material to make clothes for your doll.
- For boy doll, follow the same steps as above, then slit the corn husks from the bottom to 1/2 inch below waist tie. Tie strings around bottom of each “leg.”
