Plastic Surgery - How did Plastic Surgery Originate?

In 1794 AD, the third Mysore war took place between Tipu Sultan and the British. During the war, Mysore soldiers captured a cart which was carrying food for the British army. The driver of this vehicle was an ordinary Marathi named Kosaji.

Tipu Sultan ordered to cut off his nose and then released him. So, after the war, Kosaji's nose was cut off and he was released. The time to read the scriptures written by our sages regarding plastic surgery is necessary from this point onwards.


A British doctor came forward to treat him. But Kosaji did not allow that doctor to treat him and asked him to take him to a traditional doctor named Kumar. The British scolded him for choosing local remedies instead of modern medicine.


He said, “Kumar will heal my broken nose again.” Everyone started laughing, but they agreed to his request and took him to Kumar.


Local doctor Kumar ran a brick kiln business. He took off some skin from Kosaji's forehead and sewed it on his nose. The nose grew back. The skin on the forehead also grew back.


The British doctor who witnessed this "miracle" made a drawing of this miraculous event and sent it to Britain. Seeing the message, an English doctor, Joseph Constantine Carpeau, came from London and met Kumar.


He stayed for several years and returned after learning about this surgery. When he went to London, he performed the world's first "plastic surgery" in 1816. This was then known as the Carpeau operation.


How did the traditional Dr. Kumar know about plastic surgery?


An ancient Indian physician named Sushruta wrote about plastic surgery about 2500 years ago. The book, Sushruta Samhita, contains details of the surgery. Although it is called plastic surgery, plastic was not used in this surgery.


The practitioners of this surgery have been doing simple brick kiln business for generations.

Who Was Ravana in His Previous Life?

Ravana, the primary antagonist of the epic Ramayana, is a complex character with a rich background that spans multiple lives, according to Hindu Dharma.  His previous life before being born as Ravana, the king of Lanka, is detailed in various texts and scriptures, most notably in the Ramayana and its other versions, as well as in some Puranic texts. In his previous life, Ravana was said to be a gatekeeper of Vaikuntha, the abode of Lord Vishnu, and his name was Jaya.  Along with Vijaya, his fellow gatekeeper (both were considered to be Jaya-Vijaya, the two gatekeepers of the lord Vishnu's abode), he was cursed by the Four Kumaras -  S anaka (Ancient), Sanatana (Eternal), Sanandana (Ever Joyful) and Sanatkumara (Ever Young) . The Four Kumaras are manas-putras (mind-born sons) of Brahma, and they cursed them because they were stopped by Jaya and Vijaya from meeting Vishnu.  Once four Kumaras went to Vaikunta to worship the lord Vishnu. The doorkeepers thought them to b...

Shah Jahan & Jahanara - Part of History Avoided

Shah Jahan made his daughter Jahanara his wife after the death of his wife Mumtaz. Why were we not taught this in history?   Let us know how leftist historians called the emperor of lust, the messiah of love . In the history of the country, leftist historians have always called the lustful Mughals great, out of which Shahjahan has been presented as an example of love and why not, if the man who kept eight thousand women in his harem shows more interest in one of them, then it will be called his love. You will be surprised to know that Mumtaz's name was not Mumtaz Mahal, rather her real name was 'Arjumand-Banu-Begum'. Moreover, the love between Shahjahan and Mumtaz, which is so much talked about, was neither Shahjahan's first wife nor his last. Mumtaz was the fourth of Shah Jahan's seven prime wives. This means that Shah Jahan had married three times before Mumtaz, and even after marrying her he was not satisfied even after that he married three more times. Even wit...
