In a Hindu home, the main door is extremely important. It is adorned with toran and other religiously significant items. It represents the divide between the inner and outside worlds.

#Thread

All negative influences outside are blocked at the main door, while the inside is pure.

Only good things are permitted to pass through the door. Purna Kumbha, toran, mango leaves, rice plant, sugarcane, rangoli, and foot painting are used to welcome Goddess Lakshmi through the main door.

We should prohibit all negative influences from entering our mind and intellect, just as we would not let anything unpleasant, negative, or inauspicious into our dwelling. It, like the house, should be kept clean.

What we read, hear, and listen to should all be carefully considered. Our thoughts should be cleansed before being accepted into our minds.

Why We Play Bells in Temples?

Our culture is incomplete without the Ghanta (bell). At the start of any puja, bell chimes can be heard.

#Thread

The ritual's yajamana recites a sloka that begins, "Agamartham tu devanam, gamanarthantu rakshasam," which means, "I ring the bell as an appeal to the divine so that virtuous and noble forces enter and negative forces depart."

The bell is rung periodically throughout the puja while various offerings are made to the Lord.

The ringing of the bell is considered lucky. A well-designed ghanta produces a deep, continuous, and sonorous sound. It's thought to represent the primal sabda or Omkara.

Puja bells are frequently adorned with specific figures that correspond to the god being worshipped. The figure of Nandi, or the bull, which is associated with Lord Shiva, is cast on bells used in Siva worship.

Those employed in Vishnu worship have a Garuda figure, panchajanya conch, or Sudarsana discus.

Once upon a time, in the Kadapa District, there was a great fortune teller, foreseer, and future predictor. Pothuluri Veerabrahmendra Swami, also known as Brahmamgaru, is a name you've probably heard before.

If you haven't heard of him, he was a 17th century fortune teller.
He quickly gained a following as an amazing Kalagyani. Now his predictions have come true.
Some of these prophecies were ridiculously amusing if nothing else.

Take a look!

1. River Krishna will overflow and touch the nose-ring of Goddess Kanakadurga on Indrakeeladri.

2. Yaganti nandi will come to life and rave.

3. 12-year-old kids will become grandmother's.

4. The Iron Pillar at Ahobilam will bear Jasmine Flowers.

5. Sun will appear in the form of a man in the sky.

6. There will be no water in River Ganga for 40 days.

7. Cloned men nine feet high will fight wars. (Military Robots? )

8. Pig will give birth to an elephant.

9. Millions of horses will come from the caves of Yaganti, to follow Kalki.

10. A 3-Year-Old child will predict the future.

11. Neem Trees will ooze milk.

12. Humans will have to use ladders to climb a Niruri plant.

Why Does India Use Gobar on Its Walls and Floors?

#Thread

Here are several traditions that have been practiced in India from ancient times, and which people continue to practice because their forefathers asked them to. Many people find cow dung repulsive, but it is implanted in homes in Indian villages.

In Hinduism, the cow is revered and is known as Gow Maata (Cow, The mother). In India, cow dung and urine are regarded sacred. In Indian villages, cleaning using cow dung is a common practice.

After cleaning their dwellings, rural folks apply the cow-dung paste on the walls and floors to make their homes pure, just as urban people paint their houses to give them a festive air.

The Advantages of Using Cow Dung According to recent studies, cow dung has the ability to eliminate microorganisms that are dangerous to people. Cow dung is thought to be beneficial to one's health. It is high in minerals and has a high antibacterial factor.

It’s not 33 crore it’s 33 koti devta

33 Crore Gods’ is a completely misinterpreted fact due to wrong translation of Vedic Sanskrit by certain foreign 'scholars'.
The term ‘trayastrimsati koti’ mentioned in Atharva Veda, Yajur Veda, and Satapatha-brahmana, is rightly translated

as 33 Gods.

The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2).
According to Vedas there are 33 Gods/Devas.

These Gods are separated in the following pattern : 12 + 11 + 8 + 2.

12 is the number of Adityas, 11 are the number of Rudras, 8 is the number of Vasus, 1 is Prajapati, the Master of Gods, and 1 is the Supreme Ruler who is very powerful.
Names of all 33 Vedic deities:

12 Adityas (personified deities) correspond to the 12 Solar months and represent different attributes of social life. The Vedic sages especially venerated the Adityas and Vedas are full of hymns dedicated to Indra, Agni, Surya, Varun and the like. These are:

1. Indra/Shakra (eldest and the undoubted leader of other Adityas)
2. Ansh (due share),
3. Aryaman (nobility),
4. Bhaag (due inheritance),
5. Dhatri (ritual skill),
6. Tvashtar (skill in crafting),
7. Mitra (friendship),
8. Pushan/Ravi (prosperity),
9. Savitra/Parjanya

We are perplexed. What our dharma teaches us is unknown. There is no such thing as depth, scientific thoroughness, or perfection.

According to Sanatana dharma, there are FOUR states or avasthas.

#Thread

1. The PHYSICAL:
We are all aware of the current state. Consciousness is combined with the five elements [earth, fire, air, water, and space]. There is variation, as well as names and forms. It's your first time covering.

This isn't your face. Only this, according to one religion, is correct. The demons [Rakshasas] focused solely on this. Only bodily pleasure. Even after you've died.

2. THE SUBTLE:

Everything, including your mind, memory, intellect, sense organs, and action organs, is located in this subtle condition. This subtle body is what you call ghosts, etc. This isn't you, either.

Consciousness is combined with five delicate elements: sound, touch, form, taste, and scent. This is where Christianity comes to an end. This delicate body is what they call the Soul. The gross body contains the subtle body.

Kumari Kandam: The Lost Continent

Narrative of Atlantis, the legendary sunken metropolis detailed by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, is well-known. The debate over whether this story should be regarded literally or simply as a morality tale continues to this day.

#Thread

A similar story exists further east in India's subcontinent, albeit it is perhaps less well known than Atlantis'. This is the 'lost continent' of Lemuria, which Tamil speakers commonly associate with the legend of Kumari Kandam.

Lemuria was coined in the later half of the nineteenth century. The existence of lemur fossils in Madagascar and India but not in continental Africa or the Middle East perplexed English geologist Philip Sclater.

Sclater argued that Madagascar and India were formerly part of a bigger continent in his 1864 article 'The Mammals of Madagascar,' and termed this lost landmass 'Lemuria.'

The scientific world of the time accepted Sclater's theory as the explanation for how lemurs could have moved from Madagascar to India or vice versa in ancient times.

Pancha Varneswarar Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva that is located in Eekkadu, Tamilnadu, near Thiruvallur Town. The Temple is thought to be over 1000 years old.

#Thread

Pancha Varneswarar is the name of the presiding deity, who faces east. The square avudayars are thought to be the lingams installed by rishis and sages, making them extremely ancient and sacred.

The lingam changes color from time to time; no one knows when they will change color or how long they will last. It can last for several days or even months in some cases. Tripurasundari is the name of the mother, and she faces south.

In the Temple grounds, there are shrines to Ganesha, Nardana Ganapati, Dakshinamurthy, Lingothbavar, Brahma, Chandikeswarar, Ayyapan, Navagrahas, and Bhairava.

The lingam's colors are bright yellow, white, red, smoke ash, and an unknown color.

Under the leadership of world-renowned economist Sri Manmohan Singh, the rupee touched 69 to the dollar on August 28, 2013, a steep 35 percent drop in just three months.

While we lose our cool over a 5% INR depreciation, all major currencies around the world have declined by 15-20%.
According to them, the Indian currency has declined by 5.6 percent against the US dollar in the last year.

However, they fail to mention that the Indian rupee has appreciated by 10% versus the Euro, 14% against the Yen, and 8% against the British Pound over the same time period.

Since so many Twitter friends of Salman Nizami are turning red asking me for proof, I thought I would oblige. This short thread cites evidence from trusted sources (mostly Islamic) to prove how Mughals built Minars of Hindu heads as a sign of Islam’s victory over infidel Kafirs

When Timur first came to Hindustan, he attacked the Hindu kingdom of Kator extending from Kashmir to Kabul. In his autobiography “Tuzak-I-Timuri” Timur describes building a tower of skulls of “obstinate unbelievers” after enslaving women & kids & looting booty (May, 1398 CE).

3
The Zafarnama of Sharafuddin Ali Yazdi (Iran) is an illustrated book on Timurid dynasty (1425 CE). A painting in the Zafarnama shows Timur getting tribute from soldiers, while an Islamic Minaret representing the might of Islam built out of dead Kafir’s heads looms behind him.

4
The next Mughal, Babur, practically salivated with delight at the prospect of killing Hindus & scattering them like “teased wool & broken bubbles on wine”. He built several Minars out of Hindu heads, during battles with Rajputs, in the Doab, near Agra & Chanderi to name a few.

5
So overjoyed was Babur with the gore that he waxed eloquent poetry about killing Hindus in praise of God. After creating Minars out of Hindu heads, he proudly declared himself a “Ghazi” as his official imperial title - a term which means “Victorious over the enemies of Islam”

Why Do People Go on Pilgrimages?

Pilgrimages have always been an important part of the spiritual journey.

#Thread

What is the distinction between travel, journey, and pilgrimage? For a variety of reasons, people relocate from one location to another. Some explorers are always looking for virgin land to leave their mark on. They want to demonstrate something.

Some travel because they want to see everything. Some visitors simply want to unwind.

Other types of tourists go to get away from their jobs or families. A pilgrim, on the other hand, is not going for any of these reasons. A pilgrimage is a surrender, not a conquest.

It is a method of getting out of the way. It is a way of wearing yourself out if you do not budge. A process of eliminating all that is limited and compulsive in order to achieve a limitless state of consciousness.

Thread for girls (of all ages) - The 'Why' of our dos and don'ts - Part 1.

Over the past few generations, our elders had lost the wisdom of dos and don'ts for us.

As a result, they couldn't explain the 'why' behind all that.

This week on, I am writing a series of short threads on various topics for girls. You may follow these or pass on to your daughters.

Part 1

Why are we not allowed to sit cross-legged?

Practice of sitting cross-legged will create pressure in internal organs inside waist area.

It will also affect blood circulation. Women need proper blood circulation in those organs. Broad waist is needed for higher fertility and easy delivery.

1. Sitting in the Mother Rajarajeswari posture (two positions shown below) allow waist to expand allowing blood circulation.

This posture minimises blood running to the feet all the time, creating minute dams in the waist area for blood which enables internal organs to rejuvenate.

When eating, sitting on the floor like this will help digest food easily.

Women roadside vendors normally sit this way.

This was not just Indian tradition, pagan women world over had similar traditions.

A german friend once told me that her Norse mother-in-law would tap her every time she saw my friend sitting cross legged, saying 'you will need a broader waist'.

Adi Shankara – One Who Revived Sanatan Dharma!
#longthread

As Adi Shankara stated, 'Dharma is that which fulfills the 3 responsibilities of maintaining the society's set up in good shape, bringing about the worldly advancement of every living person, & facilitating their progress in the spiritual sphere as well.'

It is impossible to deny that Vedic dharma persists today because of spiritual luminaries such as Adi Shankara. His Sanskrit writings discuss the atman's and Nirguna Brahman's oneness.

Interesting Facts About Adi Shankaracharya
He had mastered the Vedas by the age of sixteen.

He studied Buddhism and ancient Vedic tradition before transforming existing concepts, particularly those of Hinduism's Vedanta tradition.

He worked to create India's most important tradition, which has now endured over a thousand years. He recognized the value of monastic life and sanctioned it in accordance with the Upanishads and the Brahma Sutra.

#ध्यान
ध्यान एक यौगिक प्रक्रिया है। ध्यानयोग की चरम उपलब्धि है - "समाधि"।
बिना समाधि को उपलब्ध हुए अन्तर्जगत् में प्रवेश नहीं किया जा सकता। अंतर्जगत का अर्थ है - सूक्ष्म जगत। जब तक सूक्ष्म जगत में प्रवेश कर, सूक्ष्म शरीर द्वारा साधना प्रारंभ नहीं की जाती,...

तब तक अध्यात्म का मार्ग प्रशस्त नहीं होता। स्थूल शरीर से हज़ारों वर्ष साधना करते रहने से कोई उपलब्धि प्राप्त नहीं होती। मात्र स्वयं को भ्रान्ति में डाले रहना है कि हम साधना कर रहे हैं। साधना करना और साधना करने का भ्रम पालना अलग अलग है। जो व्यक्ति यह कहता है कि वह साधना करते हुए..

उस उच्च अवस्था को प्राप्त हो चुका है, जिसे समाधि की अवस्था कहते हैं, तो बहुत कुछ सम्भव है कि वह साधना- साधना कह कर साधना की मादकता में डूब जाने को ही साधना समझता हो।
साधना और साधना समझने की मादकता में ज़मीन-आसमान का अन्तर है।

बहुत से साधक जो अटल नहीं है, केवल भजनानंदी ही हैं। वह भजन- कीर्तन, पूजा - उपासना को ही साधना समझते हैं और उसी में मस्त रहते हैं।
पूजा-उपासना, भजन-कीर्तन का अपना महत्त्व होता है किन्तु, वह साधना नहीं होती। साधना होती है शरीर को साधना, प्राणों को साधना,...

मन को साधना और अन्त में आत्मा को साधना। सूक्ष्म शरीर से साधना करने को ही सही अर्थ में आध्यात्मिक साधना करने का प्रारंभ कहते हैं।
सूक्ष्म शरीर से साधना करते समय साधक का सूक्ष्म जगत के विभिन्न आयामों में प्रवेश स्वतः हो जाता है।

🌺Lalitaditya Muktapida: The Great Hindu King of Kashmir who missed our text books.🌺

Lalitaditya Muktapida was the great Hindu King of Kashmir who belonged to the Karkorta Dynasty and provided heroic resistance to the foreign invaders.

He remained undefeated throughout his reign & expanded his empire in all directions.
The famous book Rajatarangini which was written in 12th century had given us details of the golden age of Kashmir.
The rise of Karkota dynasty of Kashmir was the turning point in Indian history.

This great dynasty was founded by Durlabha-vardhana. Many eminent historians claim that this king was married to the daughter of Baladitya the last king of the Gonanda dynasty.
Lalitaditya ascended the throne about 724 CE and was the fifth ruler of the Karkota Dynasty.

He was a follower of expansionist policy and wanted to conquer the neighboring kingdoms.
He also defeated the powerful king of Kannauj i.e Yasovarman and emerged as a champion of north India.

Kalhana also mentioned that the king of Kashmir undertook a World Wide Campaign and reached the sea coast of east India (Kalinga).
Here the king of Gaur (Bengal)is believed to be the first king to accept the suzerainty and sent several elephants to the king of Kashmir in respect.

Dharma of "VEDIC AGE"

Do you know for Vedic Age?
Must Read :-
#Thread

Deities:  Vedic  literature is primarily religious. Therefore , in relation to the religious beliefs of this age, one gets to know them very clearly. The Aryans of that period worshiped various gods.

There were many such deities like Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, Yama, etc., for whom they used to follow many different laws to satisfy and satisfy.

The concept of one God  , the creator, maintainer and guardian of the world , probably developed later, and in the beginning the Aryans worshiped the various forces of nature as gods and worshiped them.We see many forces in nature.

Rain, sunshine, winter, heat all happen according to one rule. These natural forces must also have a presiding deity, and by worshiping these gods, man can increase his happiness and prosperity, this idea was present in the ancient Aryans.

For those who blame @AmitShah and @narendramodi for every stone pelted at Hindus.

~ This is a global phenomenon
~ You should know something about this communist warfare to study GOI's response or actions

Read the following communist techniques and think if you see a pattern.

Aim of communists - world conquest.

Weapon - propaganda and mobilisation (read my pinned thread for mobilisation part)

How does it work?

In liberal democracies, ethnic races, nationalists, and good leaders are targets.

US Army exposed below techniques several decades ago.

~ Every dissatisfaction must grow into a resentment (hence the intolerance brigade, agrarian crisis, migrant crisis, rapistan, lynchistan, dara hua musalman, hijab ban, Mullamodi).

~ Every such resentment must become an argument (conveniently hosted by yours truly channels).

~ Every argument must grow into a fight (protests, stone pelting)

For communism, never a compromise. NEVER.

Never a settlement for any dispute. Only conflict.

Remember, GOI was willing to make amendments to Farmers Law, but no compromise from the protestors).

~ Every fight must go into a riot (pistols, swords in protests and stone pelting mobs)

~ Every riot must expand into a war (this didn't happen in India thanks to Modi-Shah)

~ Every war must end in devastation - rivers of blood, protracted violence, deaths, and complete unrest.
