If muslims are growing Saffron in Kashmir today, it is because of the knowledge passed down by Hindus.
Kashmiri Hindus used to cultivate saffron in Kashmir when Islam did not even exist.
Saffron is mentioned in various Hindu literature by different names depending on the origin and variety. Some of the names are Kumkuma (कुंकुम), Kesara (केसर), Kashmirajanman (कश्मीरजन्मन्) (Literally meaning "born in Kashmir" or of Kashmiri origin), Agnishikha (अग्निशिख), Vahnishikha (वह्निशिख), Bhavarakta (भवरक्त), Shonita (शोणित), Bahukam.
Saffron or Kesar is mentioned in Mahabharata and Charak Samhita to be specific.
But Madarsachaaps are taught a different story. They will tell you two Sufi saints, Khawaja Masood Wali and Sheikh Sharif-u-din Wali introduced saffron to Kashmir around the 12th century. They gave Saffron to a local chieftain which cured his illness and cultivation of Saffron started in the region.
What 19 year old Vedamurti Devavrat Mahesh Rekhe has done will be remembered by the coming generations!
Every person passionate about Indian culture is proud of him for completing the Dandakrama Parayanam, consisting of 2000 mantras of the Shukla Yajurveda’s Madhyandini branch, in 50 days without any interruption. This includes several Vedic verses and sacred words recited flawlessly. He embodies the finest of our Guru Parampara.
As the MP from Kashi, I am elated that this extraordinary feat took place in this sacred city. My Pranams to his family, the several saints, seers, scholars and organisations from all over India that have supported him.
