What is Koupalu/ Koubru?

Laininghal Naoriya Phulo used "Waheirol" as a Semantics to study the meaning of words of Meeteilon.

Using Waheirol let's try to unlock the meaning of Koubru.

Koubru consists of two terms Kouba + Ru (Lu)

It is interesting that most Meetei words which have deep philosophical meanings have a subjective  as well as an objective meaning (objectified).

We know objectively it is a Mountain Range. Awang Koubru Assuppa according to our scriptures (Lairon) is said to be the origin of the Salailel (Sorarel) and his people.  There is a Cave at its peak.  There are NINE ekons (big ponds) spread across the ranges, 5 of which are easily found by normal Koubru pilgrims every year.  There is a huge monolith of EMA Phouoibee (Phou Oibee= becomes the Paddy).  This is an indication that Paddy was grown in the Koubru.

Koubru is also the name of the Ruler of Koubru Mountain who married Kounu Ema and had Eengelei as their daughter.  The tradition of Heijingpot/Heijing Kharai Puba is said to have been started from the time of Koubru.  All the deities, Thangjing, Marjing, Wangbrel Khanachaoba  have come to attain the engagement ceremony of Koubru and Kounu.  Kounu had asked Lord Koubru to prove his love and and that he is the Lord of the Koubru Mountain by offering 100 different kinds of flowers and 100 different types of fruits to all the guests from the side of the bride-to-be. Soon it was discovered that one Heikru lukmai/platter  was missing.  Kounu took this as a breach of agreement and trust and declared before all the elders and guest present that this marriage will be hence annulled.   Lord Koubru was disgraced in public ekai nungshi yanana( mixed feeling of shame and hurt) accepted his mistake as a negligence on his part but he went further and announced that Kounu must give birth to the child in her womb and if she is a baby girl which she will be she is to be named Eenglelei.

What is Koubru subjectively?

Kou-pa-Lu : Koupa = Call or called
Lu= Root/Skeleton /Mind
Eg.
Lu-Tang (Skelatal joints),
Lu-rel (Skull/Head),
Lu-kokpa(shaving head),
Lu-mang (Forehead),
Lu-ton(upper part of Skull),
Lu-kham (lower part of Skull),
Lu-sam(lowermost part of Skull),
Lu-chingba(Leader),
Lu-Hongba (change of Mind)
Saru/Sa-Lu = Animal/Flesh Bones
Maru/Ma-Lu = Its Bone/skeleton; roots (in plants); important (topic)

According to scriptures and oral tradition Koubru is represents Kok (the Head) just as Loktak the belly, Kangla the navel etc.

So Koubru may be safely interpreted as “that which is called the Root or that which is called the Head”
Sanaching Koubru is the first place where the Lais originated according to Leisemlon.

Koubru is not yet excavated for reasons best known to the Archeological Dept. inspite of this valuable information from our history.

Rorschach Ink Blot Test

Hermann Rorschach

Hermann Rorschach ( 8 November 1884 – 1 April 1922) was a Swiss Freudian psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, best known for developing a projective test known as the Rorschach inkblot test. This test was reportedly designed to reflect unconscious parts of the personality that "project" onto the stimuli. In the test, individuals are shown 10 inkblots – one at a time – and asked to report what objects or figures they see in each of them.

The Rorschach Inkblot Test

  The Rorschach inkblot test is a type of projective psychological test created in 1921 by Hermann Rorschach. Used to analyze personality and emotional functioning, it is the second most commonly used forensic test after the MMPI. A 1995 survey 412 clinical psychologists in the American Psychological Association revealed that 82% used the Rorschach inkblot test at least occasionally.

Critics note that the test's poor validity means that it is unable to accurately identify most psychological disorders. However, the test has shown to be effective in the diagnosis of illnesses characterized by distorted thinking, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

   About this test:
The Rorschach inkblot test is a method of psychological evaluation. Psychologists use this test to try to examine the personality characteristics and emotional functioning of their patients. The Rorschach is currently the second most commonly used test in forensic assessment, after the MMPI, and has been employed in diagnosing underlying thought disorder and differentiating psychotic from nonpsychotic thinking in cases where the patient is reluctant to openly admit to psychotic thinking.

More Information:

  There are ten official inkblots. Five inkblots are black ink on white. Two are black and red ink on white. Three are multicolored. The psychologist shows the inkblots in a particular order and asks the patient, for each card, "What might this be?". After the patient has seen and responded to all the inkblots, the psychologist then gives them to him again one at a time to study. The patient is asked to list everything he sees in each blot, where he sees it, and what there is in the blot that makes it look like that. The blot can also be rotated. As the patient is examining the inkblots, the psychologist writes down everything the patient says or does, no matter how trivial. The psychologist also times the patient which then factors into the overall assessment.
Using the scores for these categories, the examiner then performs a series of mathematical calculations producing a structural summary of the test data. The results of the structural summary are interpreted using existing empirical research data on personality characteristics that have been demonstrated to be associated with different kinds of responses. Both the calculations of scores and the interpretation are often done electronically.

A common misconception of the Rorschach test is that its interpretation is based primarily on the contents of the response- what the examinee sees in the inkblot. In fact, the contents of the response are only a comparatively small portion of a broader cluster of variables that are used to interpret the Rorschach data.
