‘Flag Hoisting’ vs ‘Unfurling’ 🇮🇳
Know the difference between 15 August & 26 January Flag Ceremony

On Independence Day, is the National Flag hoisted or unfurled?
Many people believe that the terms ‘Hoisted’ & ‘Unfurled’ are synonyms,

but there is a significant difference between the two.

On 15th August, Prime Minister ‘Hoists’ the national flag to honour the historical event of India’s Independence.

On Republic Day, the President of India ‘Unfurls’ the flag on Rajpath before presiding over a parade.

1 - The positioning of the flag matters a lot! One can spot the difference between ‘unfurling’ and ‘hoisting’ in the positioning of the flag.

When the national flag hoists on independence day, it is tied and sits at the bottom of the pole.

It is the Prime Minister who raises the national flag up and hoists it

Whereas, when the flag is unfurled on Republic Day, it is closed and tied at the top of the pole.

The President unfurls it without pulling the flag up as it takes place on Independence Day.

Why the President unfurls and Prime Minister hoists?

The prime minister, who is the head of the government, ‘hoists’ the flag on Independence Day.

On the other hand, the President of India ‘unfurls’ the Tricolour on Republic Day as the

#MahaPeriyava Narrated by Prof S.Kalyanaraman, Neurosurgeon, Chennai
Compiled by Jagadguru Sri Maha Periyava - Kanchi Paramacharya/Fb

By the blessings of Sri Maha Periyava, I have been able to do brain operations in India continuously in the government General Hospital in Madras

from 1964 to 1992 and after I retired from government service, I have been in private hospitals for more than a decade. What is perhaps equally important is that I have been able to involve throughout these forty years in training several dozens of young doctors in neurosurgery

in the General Hospital, Chennai from 1964 to 1992 and in Apollo Hospital, Chennai recognized for DNB qualification in neurosurgery from 1992 onwards. In those days when a Brahmin boy went abroad and returned he was supposed to go to Rameswaram and have a bath in the ocean for

purification. Somehow although we are an orthodox family, I could not do this. Soon after my return I had to undergo surgery for hernia. Then I got married. Later I became very busy in hospital work and I could never get the time to plan a trip to Rameswaram. Sometime in 1975 I

went to Kancheepuram with my younger sister and niece to have darsanam of Maha Periyava. By that time I had already been abroad several times. An elderly Brahmin gentleman who had just come from Nigeria was present too to have darshan. There was a crowd of about sixty or seventy

What is required to learn mantra shastra?

1: In general, if you have not been born in India or to Indian parents, or acquire a genuine Indian teacher (these last two may still not be useful).. it is almost impossible.
Why?
Slow 🧵

Why do I say this?
It’s because, the ability to pronounce Sanskrit syllables correctly and properly and at some speed .. all are important for mantra Anusthana.
If you can’t recite a mantra correctly, you are basically going to have trouble completing even 108 japa, let alone 10k

2.
If you have not been born in India or to Indian parents, or acquire a genuine Indian teacher is what I said earlier.
However:
Some manage despite the first two by grace of 3 descending on them.
But they are few and far in between now:
Western Disciples of Neem Karoli/ Dr RS eg

However, being born in India or to Indian parents, still don’t guarantee that you will really make any progress.. because the majority of the educated Indian world is watching porn or playing video games and “enjoying” life… especially true in cities in India..

In fact, many Indians today are by virtue of their addiction to video games and/ or porn are basically never even going to get anyway near a mantra.. see.. Bhagwati knows how to bind people in all kinds of Maya.. these are people who can learn really easily but it’s impossible.

Rebirth is highly against Abrahmic religions

I want all my Muslim and Christian Brothers to Read till end…

In Islam and Christianity , there is only one Life and then there is either Eternal Hell Or Eternal Heaven. But it has lots of paradoxes and difficult to Convince +

1. Suppose a Good Person had died in 1500AD, and a Bad Person dies in 2022 AD

There’s no date mentioned for Qayamat/ Judgement Day, only Symptoms are Given

Say Qayamat is in 2030AD

So the Good Person waits in Grave for 530Years BUT the Bad Person wait time only 8Yrs,Not Fair+

2. People who Died Before 1BC were neither Christians Nor Muslims, so whether Good Or Bad, all of them Reached only Hell, Not Fair

3. I am a Bad person, but he is 100 Times Bad, Both will Get eternal Hell. I am Good and he is 100x Good, both Eternal Heaven, Not Fair +

4. Wine and Women are Sin on Earth , but both Wine and Women are abundant in Heaven, Not Fair

5. A Human is a Born Sinner, even when he hasn’t even uttered a Word, or even moved his hand, Not Fair

These 5 Points let’s Examine with a Rationale as to what Sanatan Dharma Says +

1. Life is Cyclical, Aatma Enters one Sharir to Another, One Yoni to Another as per Guna-Karma

2. After a specified time of Death Aatma enjoys its good deeds and repents for its bad deeds only till the Karma Phala Lasts. It is Not Eternal.

1. Is Śiva really Bholenātha?

A commong sight during Sāvana ke Somvāra in north India is Hindu women offering Bilva Patra to Śiva liṇga at the nearby temple, offering jala & other offerings directly to Śiva liṇga by touching it directly or a long time.

2. There is scarcely any rule to this offering of pūjā. Women in sārī, suit and even western clothes offer everything they have brought with them directly to Śiva: milk, water, kumkum, haldī, bilva patra, sweets, fruits and much more with priest just managing the proceedings.

3. There is often a queue-less, order-less jumble of acts, sights and sounds in which women of all ages jostle with men and boys of all ages to reach the ‘pinḍī’, the Śiva liṇga and offer the pūjā.

4. Most people from the south, following tradition, where āgamas are still a working reality, at least in temples, and where many people follow caryā are offended, and not without reason.

Śiva also have rules of worship and approach, as other deities.

5. Śiva temple, like others requires certain rituals and customs which are inviolable. Śiva, like other deities, requires certain caryā from his devotees and thus cannot be just taken any way the devotees want. It is true that there is a way to approach him like any other deity.

वेदों के अनुसार हमारे ब्रह्मांड की आयु :

1 महायुग = 4,320,000 मानव वर्ष

1 मन्वंतर = 71 महायुग

ब्रह्मा का 1 दिन = 14 मन्वंतर = 14 x 71= 994 महायुग

14 x 71 x 4320000 = 4,294,080,000 वर्ष

4,320,000,000 – 4,294,080,000 =25,920,000 वर्ष

25,920,000 वर्ष की कमी युगों के बीच संधिकाल से पूरी की गई हैं।

1 कलियुग = 432000 सौर वर्ष!

एक कलियुग की लंबाई एक युग की होती है।

युग = 25,920,000 ÷ 432000 = 60

कलियुग एक युग के बराबर हैं और महायुग कलयुग का दस गुना हैं।

ब्रह्मा का 1 दिन = 14 मन्वंतर + संधिकाल

= 994 महायुग + 60 युग

= 994 महायुग + 6 महायुग = 1000

ब्रह्मा का 1 दिन = 1000 महायुग = 4,320,000,000 मानव वर्ष

ब्रह्म का 1 रात= 1000 महायुग = 4,320,000,000 मानव वर्ष

ब्रह्म का 1 पूरा दिन = दिन + रात = 8,640,000,000 वर्ष = 8.64 अरब वर्ष।

वर्तमान 7वें मन्वन्तर में हैं।

ब्रह्मा कितने वर्ष बीत चुके हैं :

6 मन्वन्तरों = 71x 6 = 426 महायुग

सूर्य मंडल के परमेष्ठी मंडल (आकाश गंगा) के केंद्र का चक्र पूरा होने पर उसे मन्वंतर काल कहा गया।

इसका माप है 30,67,20,000 (तीस करोड़ सड़सठ लाख बीस हजार वर्ष)। एक से दूसरे मन्वंतर के बीच 1 संध्यांश सतयुग के बराबर होता है अत: संध्यांश सहित मन्वंतर का माप हुआ 30, 84,48,000 वर्ष।

30, 84,48,000 – 30,67,20,000 = 1,728,000 वर्ष (सतयुग के बराबर)

#MahaPeriyava This man was the miser of all misers! He was of course a wealthy man but would not spend a penny. He had come for Sri Maha Periyava's darshan. With his right hand over his mouth, he started speaking emotionally. I have blood pressure and diabetes for a long time.

Now, I have been diagnosed with cancer too. I am suffering a lot. Periyava must please suggest a parikaram (remedy).
"Will you do as I say", asked Periyava.
"Certainly", said the man.
"It might be difficult.”
"Never mind. I want to just get rid of these diseases. I will do

whatever Periyava instructs. All I want is to be cured of this BP, diabetes and cancer.” saying this, he wiped his eyes.
Periyava said, "In the well, there is water. But the well never drinks up the water claiming ownership over it. Trees bear fruits, but they never say, this

fruit belongs to me. Only I will eat it. The cow gives milk, but never drinks up its own milk. Several trees and plants yield vegetables, but they keep nothing for themselves. As you can see, plants and animals themselves are doing so much paropakaaram (service to others). They

say man has got six senses. So, how much more paropakaaram must he do? You have lot of money, but you are neither spending it for yourself, nor are you doing any dharma (good deeds) from it. The sins from your last birth have befallen you in the form of diseases. If you have to

Emergency: A dark chapter in the history of India.

(The Terrible Story Of An Actress Snehalatha Reddy Who Was Tortured Till Death).

On the night of 25th June 1975, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared the Emergency,

on the orders of Indira Gandhi, with the signing of President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, the Emergency was imposed on the country and suspended the fundamental rights of all citizens, which shook the nation's democratic foundations.

This emergency ended on 21 March 1977.

In 19 months, lakhs were imprisoned and tortured unnecessarily.

Thousands of column inches have been dedicated to articulating the horrors of Emergency, and the lessons it holds for future generations.

Among those who stood tallest at the time, but paid the ultimate price for her principled dissent, was writer, activist, producer and actress Snehalatha Reddy (1932– 20 January 1977)

She was known for her works in Kannada cinema,Kannada theatre and Telugu cinema, Telugu theatre

Married to poet, mathematician and director Pattabhi Rama Reddy, the couple were devoted socialists, dedicated to the cause of renowned activist and freedom fighter Dr Rammanohar Lohia.

Considering their affiliation to Lohia’s principles,both Sneha and Pattabhi spoke out against

श्रावणमासकी कृष्णपक्ष एकादशीका माहात्म्य -
युधिष्ठिर - श्रीकृष्ण संवाद

युधिष्ठिरने पूछा -गोविन्द ! वासुदेव! आपको नमस्कार है! श्रावणके कृष्णपक्षमें कौन-सी एकादशी होती है? उसका वर्णन कीजिये।

२/११
भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण बोले-
राजन् ! सुनो, मैं तुम्हें एक पापनाशक उपाख्यान सुनाता हूं, जिसे पूर्वकालमें ब्रह्माजीने नारदजीके पूछनेपर कहा था।

३/११
नारदजीने प्रश्न किया - भगवन्! कमलासन! मैं आपसे यह सुनना चाहता हूँ कि श्रावणके कृष्णपक्षमें जो एकादशी होती है, उसका क्या नाम है, उसके कौन-से देवता है तथा उससे कौन सा पुण्य होता है? प्रभो। यह सब बताइये।

४/११

ब्रह्माजीने कहा- नारद! सुनो- मैं सम्पूर्ण लोकोंके हितकी इच्छासे तुम्हारे प्रश्नका उत्तर दे रहा हूँ।श्रावणमासमें जो कृष्णपक्षकी एकादशी होती है, उसका नाम 'कामिका' है; उसके स्मरणमात्रसे वाजपेय यज्ञका फल मिलता है।

५/११
उस दिन श्रीधर, हरि, विष्णु, माधव और मधुसूदन आदि नामोंसे भगवान्‌का पूजन करना चाहिये। भगवान् श्रीकृष्णके पूजनसे जो फल मिलता है, वहगङ्गा, काशी, नैमिषारण्य तथा पुष्करक्षेत्रमें भी सुलभ नहीं है।

🔱 Standard procedure for any kind of japa, mantra. Golden rules to remember.
•No japa, mantra or chanting or any strotram should be done without apt knowledge or dīkṣā from an able Guru.
•Everyone is not destined to get a Guru and you do not get guru’s through

advertisements, hence simple hari naam saṃkīrtana, lighting lamp for God in morning and evening, chanting shiva nāma etc. are best.
•Going to a proper temple is very important. Laziness, greediness and ease of living will restrict this.
•Start your mantra with Ganpati ḍhyān

, do mental offerings to Sri Ganapati, Kuladevtha etc and then do the required meditation.
•Always tell the deities to go back to their respective domains after the prayers and offer apologies for recalling them. This is udvāsana and Kshama paan.
•Always clean yourself first

and then sit in clean surroundings during pooja. Torn clothes, clothes with holes, growth of nails, untidy hair should be totally avoided during upāsana.
•Never accept mantras from books, newspapers or gullible advertisements. It will be a lifetime regret.
•Tapasya is

different from all this. It includes sleeping on floor, brahmacharya, eating only once a day, observing mauna and taking vows for fast. It is not meant for ordinary people and not very apt for grihastha.
•Remember your karmas cannot be reduced by buttering or chanting mantras

प्रश्न = इतिहास में पाशुपतास्त्र कब कब इस्तेमाल हुआ ?

पाशुपतास्त्र बहुत विध्वंसक महास्त्र है और इतिहास में केवल कुछ लोग ही थे जिनके पास ये अस्त्र था। उसपर भी बहुत कम लोगों ने इस अस्त्र का उपयोग किया। पाशुपतास्त्र के उपयोग का सबसे बड़ा नियम ये था कि उसे अपने से निर्बल अथवा

किसी निःशस्त्र योद्धा पर नहीं चलाया जा सकता था। अगर ऐसा किया जाता तो पाशुपतास्त्र वापस चलाने वाले का ही नाश कर देता था। ऐसी मान्यता है कि जब सृष्टि का समय पूर्ण हो जाता है तो महादेव सृष्टि का विनाश पाशुपतास्त्र और अपने तीसरे नेत्र से ही करते हैं।

इसके अतिरिक्त जहाँ ब्रह्मास्त्र का निवारण दूसरे ब्रह्मास्त्र से और नारायणास्त्र का निवारण दूसरे नारायणास्त्र अथवा निःशस्त्र होकर किया जा सकता था, वही पाशुपतास्त्र का कोई निवारण नहीं था। इसके द्वारा किये गए विध्वंस को वापस ठीक नहीं किया जा सकता था।

यही कारण है कि त्रिदेवों के तीन महास्त्रों (ब्रह्मास्त्र, नारायणास्त्र और पाशुपत) में पाशुपतास्त्र को सबसे विनाशकारी माना गया है। सबसे पहले पाशुपतास्त्र का उपयोग भगवान शंकर द्वारा ही सतयुग में हुआ जिससे उन्होंने त्रिपुर का संहार किया।

ऐसी मान्यता है कि उन्होंने पाशुपतास्त्र का निर्माण ही केवल इस कार्य के लिए किया था। त्रेतायुग में इस महान अस्त्र के पांच लोगों के पास होने की जानकारी मिलती है - विश्वामित्र, भगवान परशुराम, रावण, मेघनाद और श्रीराम इनमें से मेघनाद को छोड़ कर बांकी चारों के पास पाशुपतास्त्र होने

According to Psychologists, there are four types of Intelligence:

1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)

1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your level of comprehension.

You need IQ to solve maths, memorize things, and recall lessons.

2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine and considerate.

3. Social Quotient (SQ): this is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.

People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go further in life than those with a high IQ but low EQ and SQ.

Most schools capitalize on improving IQ levels while EQ and SQ are played down.

A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ.

Your EQ represents your Character, while your SQ represents your Charisma.

Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs, especially your EQ and SQ.

Now there is a 4th one, a new paradigm:

4. The Adversity Quotient (AQ): The measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life, and come out of it without losing your mind.

27 नक्षत्रों के 27 वृक्ष (नक्षत्र राशि तथा ग्रह के लिए निर्धारित पेड़ पौधे)

जिस प्रकार प्रत्येक ग्रह और राशियों के अपने-अपने वृक्ष होते हैं ठीक बैसे ही प्रत्येक नक्षत्र के भी अपने वृक्ष होते हैं। अपने वृक्ष होने का अर्थ है जो उस ग्रह या नक्षत्रों के प्रतिनिधि हों।
#Thread

या ऐसे वृक्ष जिन पर उक्त ग्रहों का प्रभाव रहता है इसलिए वैदिक साहित्य में “वृक्ष पूजन” का स्पष्ट निर्देश दिया गया है

जब भी कोई व्यक्ति बहुत परेशानियों में घिर जाता है (चाहे उस परेशानी का कारण कुछ भी हो) तब ज्योतिषी, जन्मकुंडली के आधार पर सबसे पहले यह जानने का प्रयास करते हैं कि

किस ग्रह नक्षत्र, राशि वा राशि स्वामी के कारण वह जातक परेशान है।

पुनः उस ग्रह अथवा राशि के कारकत्व को आधार बनाकर जातक के परेशानी को दूर करता है। उन कारकतत्व में पेड़-पौधे भी आते है। जन्म कुंडली में बुरे ग्रहो के प्रभाव को कम करने के लिए तथा शुभ ग्रहो के शुभत्त्व को बढ़ाने के लिए

निर्धारित पेड़-पौधों की सेवा तथा उसके जड़ को धारण करने का विधान है।

ऊपर दिए गए चित्र में चारों तरफ 3 घेरे बने हुए हैं जो सबसे ‘पहला घेरा’ है उसमें ‘27 नक्षत्रों’ के नाम हैं और उनकी पोधो के नाम साथ में लिखे हुए हैं

‘दूसरे घेरे’ में ‘12 राशियों’ के नाम उनके पौधों के साथ लिखे हुए

और ‘तीसरे घेरे’ में ‘नौ ग्रहों’ के नाम लिखे हुए हैं और उनसे संबंधित पेड़ पौधों के नाम भी लिखे हुए हैं।

ग्रह,राशि,नक्षत्र के आसार पेड़-पौधे प्रयोग करने से अंतश्चेतना में सकारात्मक सोच का संचार होता है और वे परिस्थितियों को अनुकूल करने में सहायक सिद्ध होते हैं

#MahaPeriyava
One day Mahaperiyava with his service minded people went on a Padayatra to Thirukovilur. People of Thirukovilur gathered and waited for Mahaperiyava in the entrance of the Village. There was a a small path on the right hand side of the village which led to another

village called as Vasanthanalloor. He turned in that direction. Those with Him told,”Periyava, this village is a very small village and it does not have a small pond to take bath and it will not be neat also so let us go straight to Thirukovilur". But Maha Periyava continued as

though he heard nothing. The small path was totally dry, very soon
Periyava saw this beautiful Sight.
The neem tree The Banyan tree the Vilva tree were twined together.
They seem to tell that we are living with nature and as friends too. If men were also to live like plants as

friends then God would be really pleased. Mahaperiyava called Vedapuri mama and ask him to build a small thatched roof house under the twined trees. He asked his Mutt assistants to call all the important people of the village to His Ashram. They gathered and bowed to MahaPeriyava

They only knew that Periyava was a Mahan. Periyava told them, “I want to stay in your town and do Pooja, do you have any objection?"
They said there is no objection Swami, but it is long since it rained in this town.
“Let me stay tonight here”

#MahaPeriyava
There is an organisation in America called the Paul Brunton mission, extolling the British journalist who came to see the Sages here. Brunton had Sri Maha Periyava’s darshan and on his advice went to Ramana Maharishi whose gracious glance he received. Every year

the students who were members of this association, would visit Kanchipuram and stay on for 10 or 15 days, immersing themselves in Periyava’s blissful darshan. The Group had come as usual one year. One day, Periyava was seated under the Night-flowering jasmine (Pavazhamalli) tree,

which used to be in SriMatham in those days and was giving them the darshan. Periyava was sitting with his eyes closed. The American boys were seated around Periyava with their eyes closed in Meditation. It was very silent, not a whisper anywhere. The attendants Balu Mama and

Vedapuri Mama moved away and came out of SriMatham. A car came to stop there. A middle-aged couple and their three children got down. It was clear from the clothes they wore that the children were thoroughly westernised. They looked at Balu Mama and Vedapuri Mama who were

standing there. Old, discoloured dhoties, hair knotted in a tuft, stripes of sacred ash, rudraksha beads around their neck. The ultra-modern kids found them amusing. “Who are these ancients? Some saints around here it seems? Wonder if he too is like this? Dirty people,

नवग्रह समिधा के नाम 🙏🏻🚩
(नवग्रह के पौधे एवं ग्रह शांति में उनके योगदान)

भारतीय ज्योतिष शास्त्र में ग्रहों को अपने अनुकूल बनाने के लिए ‘वनस्पति’ की विशेष भूमिका रही है। उसके अनुसार पेड़-पौधों लगाने और इनके हवन-पूजन से ग्रहों संबंधी कई समस्याएं दूर होती हैं।

#Thread

ज्योतिष शास्त्र में ग्रहों की संख्या 9 बतायी गई है

सूय्र्यचन्द्रो मंगलश्च बुधश्चापि बृहस्पति:।
शुक्र: शनेश्चरो राहु: केतुश्चेति नव ग्रहा:।।

ऐसी मान्यता है कि इन ग्रहों की विभिन्न नक्षत्रों में स्थिति के अनुसार प्रत्येक मनुष्य पर इनके अलग-अलग प्रभाव पड़ते हैं,

ये प्रभाव अनुकूल और प्रतिकूल दोनों होते हैं। ग्रहों के प्रतिकूल प्रभावों को शांत करने के लिए शास्त्रों में अनेक उपाय बताये गये हैं जिनमें एक उपाय ‘यज्ञ’ भी है।

यज्ञ द्वारा हर ग्रह शांति के लिए अलग अलग विशिष्ट वनस्पति की समिधा (हवन प्रकाष्ठ) प्रयोग की जाती है,

जैसा श्लोक में वर्णित है

“अर्क: पलाश: खदिरश्चापामार्गोऽथ पिप्पल:
औडम्बर: शमी दूव्र्वा कुशश्च समिध: क्रमात्”(गरुण पुराण)

अर्थात्

1-‘सूर्य ग्रह’ की शान्ति हेतू ‘अर्क (मदार)’ की समिधा का प्रयोग होता है मदार की लकड़ी में उसके पत्तों व गाय का घी मिलाकर हवन करने से रोग नाश होते हैं

2- चंद्र के लिए

पलाश के पेड़ में ब्रह्मा, विष्णु व महेश का निवास माना जाता है। पलाश के सूखे हुए फूल देवी देवताओं को कार्तिक माह में चढ़ाने से ग्रह बाधा दूर हो जाती है।

इसके वृक्ष को घर से दक्षिण-पूर्व (southeast) दिशा में लगाना चाहिए

शिव के रूद्रावतार ❤️

देवाधिदेव महादेव ने ग्यारह बार रूद्र अवतार लिया। जिनके उल्लेख निम्नवत् है-
• महाकाल- शिव के दस प्रमुख अवतारों में पहला अवतार महाकाल को माना जाता है। इस अवतार की शक्ति माँ महाकाली मानी जाती हैं। उज्जैन में महाकाल नाम से ज्योतिर्लिंग विख्यात है।

उज्जैन में ही गढ़कालिका क्षेत्र में माँ कालिका का प्राचीन मंदिर है और महाकाली का मंदिर गुजरात के पावागढ़ शक्तिपीठ में है।
• तारा- शिव के रुद्रावतार में दूसरा अवतार तार (तारा) नाम से प्रसिद्ध है।

इस अवतार की शक्ति तारादेवी मानी जाती हैं।यह पीठ पश्चिम बंगाल के वीरभूम में स्थित द्वारका नदी के पास महाश्मशान में स्थित है तारा पीठ। पूर्वी रेलवे के रामपुर हॉल्ट स्टेशन से 4 मील दूरी पर स्थित है।

• बाल भुवनेश- महादेव का तीसरा रुद्रावतार है बाल भुवनेश। इस अवतार की शक्ति को बाला भुवनेशी माना गया है। दस महाविद्या में से एक माता भुवनेश्वरीका शक्तिपीठ उत्तराखंड में है। उत्तरवाहिनी नारद गंगाकी सुरम्य घाटी पर यह प्राचीनतम आदि शक्ति मां भुवनेश्वरी का मंदिर

पौड़ी गढ़वाल में कोटद्वारसतपुली-बांघाट मोटर मार्ग पर सतपुली से लगभग 13 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर ग्राम विलखेत व दैसण के मध्य नारद गंगा के तट पर मणिद्वीप (सांगुड़ा) में स्थित है। इस पावन सरिता का संगम गंगाजी से व्यासचट्टी में होता है,

प्रश्न = प्रत्येक मन्वन्तर काल में कौन-कौन से सप्तऋषि रहे हैं ?

देखिए आकाश में 7 तारों का एक मंडल नजर आता है। उन्हें सप्तर्षियों का मंडल कहा जाता है। इसके अतिरिक्त सप्तर्षि से उन 7 तारों का बोध होता है, जो ध्रुव तारे की परिक्रमा करते हैं उक्त मंडल के तारों के नाम भारत के महान 7

संतों के आधार पर ही रखे गए हैं। वेदों में उक्त मंडल की स्थिति, गति, दूरी और विस्तार की विस्तृत चर्चा मिलती है।

ऋषियों की संख्या सात ही क्यों ?

तो देखिए सप्त ब्रह्मर्षि, देवर्षि, महर्षि, परमर्षय:। कण्डर्षिश्च, श्रुतर्षिश्च, राजर्षिश्च क्रमावश:।।

अर्थात : 1. ब्रह्मर्षि, 2. देवर्षि, 3. महर्षि, 4. परमर्षि, 5. काण्डर्षि, 6. श्रुतर्षि और 7. राजर्षि-
ये 7 प्रकार के ऋषि होते हैं इसलिए इन्हें सप्तर्षि कहते हैं।

भारतीय ऋषियों और मुनियों ने ही इस धरती पर धर्म, समाज, नगर, ज्ञान, विज्ञान, खगोल, ज्योतिष, वास्तु, योग आदि

ज्ञान का प्रचार-प्रसार किया था। दुनिया के सभी धर्म और विज्ञान के हर क्षेत्र को भारतीय ऋषियों का ऋणी होना चाहिए। उनके योगदान को याद किया जाना चाहिए। उन्होंने मानव मात्र के लिए ही नहीं, बल्कि पशु-पक्षी, समुद्र, नदी, पहाड़ और वृक्षों सभी के बारे में सोचा और सभी के सुरक्षित

जीवन के लिए कार्य किया। आओ, संक्षिप्त में जानते हैं कि किस काल में कौन से ऋषि थे भारत में ऋषियों और गुरु-शिष्य की लंबी परंपरा रही है ब्रह्मा के पुत्र भी ऋषि थे तो भगवान शिव के शिष्यगण भी ऋषि ही थे प्रथम मनु स्वायंभुव मनु से लेकर बौद्धकाल तक ऋषि परंपरा के बारे में जानकारी मिलती है
