The same people/ideology that despises protein consumption and would rather disown their own kids than to let them get any protein rich diet

Suggest me the best sources to read & understand the Rigveda.

I am talking about the best, most authentic & and most reliable translations of the Rigveda as well as works that have interpreted it without any trickery.

Please don't suggest works that interpret it with a Post-Vedic or even late-Vedic favouring bias.

Saw something that I shouldn't have

The incident is from about an hour ago I was sleeping when suddenly I heard a loud bang and a rubber burning smell a musky and weird smell that was really making me uneasy so subconsciously I rose up from my bad and started checking for a wire shortage or a trip cause we recently extended our Cooler wiring.

Now as soon as I reached near window what I saw made me creeped as hell.

I saw a women standing on the second floor railing in the picture attested and was tearing her hair strands clipping them onto something burning them and throwing while chanting something.

That shit was straight up from a horror movie I swear!

Now at first I really thought I might be tripping or maybe sleepy but intuitively reached for my glasses and once I wore them what I saw almost gave me a Atherosclerosis 🫪

That scary women was staring at me and the hairs were burning along with her hand now shit scared I ducked down and closed the window and also covered the curtains.

I really don't know what I am gonna do my parents are fast asleep and I don't want to disturb them I just checked and now there wasn't anyone anymore and the balcony is closed too and am not feeling sleepy at all but kind of shocked.

Gonna talk to my parents in the morning and I hope we go and check out the house 🙏🏻🥲

Should we lodge a police complaint

EDIT 1: BKL darana band karo pehle se phati hui kuch help ho to kardo😭🙏🏻

The Indian queens who modelled for the world's first vaccine: Queen Devajammani Sr. (farthest left), Queen Dowager Lakshmi Ammani (center) and Queen Devajammani Jr. (farthest right) of Mysore state. Painted by Irish painter Thomas Hickey c. 1805 CE.

Following the restoration of the Wodeyar dynasty to the Mysore Throne after Tipu Sultan's defeat by the British, three Queens of the state, headed by the Queen Dowager Lakshmi Ammani posed for Irish painter Thomas Hickey.

This however was not just any other court portrait. It was a political statement to the people of Mysore, that it's Queens were now endorsing the world's first vaccine, for smallpox.

The painting is intended to bring hope and to quell fears regarding the new science. The Senior queen Devajammani (left most) shows pigmentation around her mouth, likely the result of surviving smallpox, and possibly due to the use of earlier "variolation" to induce immunity.

At the far right, the Junor Queen (also named Devajammani), unorthodoxly lifts her sari to reveal the site where the revolutionary new vaccine would be administered, silently endorsing and reassuring her subjects of the progress being made in western medicine. She would take the vaccine in July 1806.

The woman in the center is Lakshmi Ammani herself, the grandmother to the Maharaja of Mysore. A shrewd woman who had orchestrated the royal family's rise back to power through an alliance with the British, she actively promoted the smallpox vaccine as her husband had died from the disease.
