THE LEDGER Chapter 11 — A Message After All These Years

 THE LEDGER Chapter — A Message After All These Years It was the last day of the week. It was past 10 p.m. Aravind was sitting in his room. On the table were all the notes and reports from the investigations he had conducted throughout the week. After going through every detail of the cases he had investigated during the past week, Aravind prepared his Weekly Investigation Report. He carefully checked every piece of information. He went through the doubtful points once again. Then he completed the report. He placed it inside a file. He decided to send it by Registered Post from the post office the following day and kept the file safely on the table. He looked at the time again. It was already late.

Twice born means
 A term that's rich in Hindu tradition!

In Hinduism, "twice-born" (Sanskrit: द्विज, dvija) refers to a person who has undergone a spiritual rebirth or transformation, in addition to their physical birth.

Physical Birth:
The first birth is the physical birth, where a person is born into the world.

Spiritual Rebirth:
The second birth, or spiritual rebirth, occurs when a person undergoes a transformative experience, such as:

1. *Upanayana ceremony*: A sacred thread ceremony that marks a person's spiritual rebirth and initiation into Vedic studies.
2. *Spiritual initiation*: A person may receive spiritual initiation from a guru or spiritual teacher, which marks their spiritual rebirth.
3. *Self-realization*: A person may experience a profound spiritual awakening or self-realization, which transforms their perspective and understanding of the world.

Implications:
Being "twice-born" implies that a person has transcended their physical birth and has undergone a spiritual transformation. This status is considered essential for spiritual growth, self-realization, and ultimately, liberation (Moksha).

Viswakarma Community:
In the context of the Viswakarma community, being "twice-born" means that they are considered to be spiritually reborn, without the need for external rituals or ceremonies like Upanayana. Their divine origin and connection to the sun god, Surya, are seen as sufficient for their spiritual growth and development.
