The Patiala Necklace and Its Robbery (Which listed as one of the biggest lost treasures ever, valued around $ 30 Million Today)

The necklace created by the House of Cartier in 1928. It was made for Bhupinder Singh of Patiala,

who was the Maharaja of the princely state of Patiala.

The necklace had five chains (ladi) and included a neck collar. The necklace contained 2,930 diamonds, including as its centrepiece the world's seventh-largest diamond at the time, the "De Beers".

That diamond had a 428 carat pre-cut weigh, and it weighed 234.65 carats in its final setting.

It is the largest cushion-cut yellow diamond and the 2nd largest yellow faceted diamond in the world.The necklace also contained seven other large diamonds ranging from 18 to 73 carats

and a number of Burmese rubies.

The necklace disappeared from the Royal Treasury of Patiala around 1948.
In 1982, at a Sotheby's auction in Geneva, the "De Beers" diamond reappeared. There, the bidding went up to $3.16 million

In 1998, part of the necklace was found at a second-hand jewellery shop in London by Eric Nussbaum, a Cartier associate. The remaining large jewels were missing, including the Burmese rubies and the 18 to 73 carat diamonds that were mounted on a pendant.

कौरव और पांडवों के बीच जब राज्य बंटवारे को लेकर कलह चली, तो मामा शकुनि की अनुशंसा पर धृतराष्ट्र ने खांडवप्रस्थ नामक एक जंगल को देकर पांडवों को कुछ समय तक के लिए शांत कर दिया था। इस जंगल में एक महल था जो खंडहर हो चुका था। पांडवों के समक्ष अब उस जंगल को एक नगर बनाने की चुनौती थी।

खंडहर महल के चारों तरफ भयानक जंगल था। यमुना नदी के किनारे एक बीहड़ वन था जिसका नाम खांडव वन था। पहले इस जंगल में एक नगर हुआ करता था,फिर वह नगर नष्ट हो गया और उसके खंडहर ही बचे थे।खंडहरों के आसपास वहां जंगल निर्मित हो गया था।यहां इंद्रप्रस्थ नगर बसाने के लिए इस जंगल में...

...अर्जुन और श्रीकृष्ण ने आग लगा दी थी।
खांडववन में अग्नि धधकने लगी और उसकी ऊंची ऊंची लपटे आकाश तक पहुंच गई।खांडववन को अग्नि 15 दिन तक जलाती रही।इस अग्निकाण्ड में केवल छह प्राणी ही बच पाते हैं।अश्‍वसेन सर्प, मयदानव(मयासुर)और चार शार्ड्ग पक्षी। आओ जानते हैं कि अश्वसेन सर्प कौन था।

अश्वसेन तक्षक नाग का पुत्र था। खांडववन जल रहा था तब उसकी माता ने उसे अपने मुंह में निगल लिया और वहां से भाग गई।परंतु असहनीय गर्मी के कारण वह बच न सकी। लेकिन अपनी जान दे कर भी वह नागिन अपने मुंह में छुपाए अपने बच्चे को जीवन-दान दे गयी।

अश्वसेन की माता तो मार गयी परंतु अश्वसेन बच गया। उसे अपनी माँ की इस प्रकार मृत्यु का बड़ा दुख हुआ और वो प्रतिशोध की अग्नि में जलने लगा।तत्पश्चात उसका एक ही लक्ष्य था की जिस अर्जुन ने खांडव वन में आग लगाकर उसकी माता के प्राण लिए, वह किस प्रकार उसके प्राण ले।

Indian ancient/Vedic mathematics inventions

mathematics has its roots in the Vedic literature which is nearly 4000 years old.Between 1500 BCE and 600 BCE various concepts on mathematics were given by Indian mathematicians in which were set forth for the first time

Zero

If it weren’t for Indian mathematician-astronomer Aryabhata, there wouldn’t have been a number zero. The zero is widely seen as one of the greatest innovations in human history, is the cornerstone of modern mathematics and physics, plus the spin-off technology.

Algebra

In ancient India, conventional mathematics termed Ganitam was known before the development of algebra. This is borne out by the name – Bijaganitam, which was given to the algebraic form of computation. Bijaganitam means ‘the other mathematics’

(Bija means ‘another’ or ‘second’ and Ganitam means mathematics. In India, around the 5th century A.D., a system of mathematics that made astronomical calculations easy was developed

Trigonometry

Though Trigonometry goes back to the Greek period, the character of the subject started to resemble modern form only after the time of Aryabhata. From here it went to Europe through the Arabs and went into several modifications to reach its present form.

Ayurveda and Asthma.
🔶️Asthma is a respiratory disease that affects both adults and
children and asthma is today one of the most common chronic
childhood ailments. There is no scientifically proven cure for
asthma but it can be controlled and regulated.

Asthma occurs when inhaled antigens encounter antigen
presenting cells (APC) that lines the airway inflammation.
When IgE activates APC, the naïve T cells get differentiated into TH2 cells which further binds to IgE receptors (present on mast cells).

The later interactions result in release of biologically active mediators either histamine or leukotrienes, which mediates the symptoms of allergy. IL-5 is essential for recruitment of eosinophils which has a major role in pathogenesis of asthma.

The recruitment of eosinophil leads to release of toxic granules further leading of damage of tissue and chronic inflammation.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases globally and currently affects 300 million people worldwide with 250,000 annual deaths attributed to the disease
and is the third-ranking cause of hospitalization among children
under age of 15.

Swami Vivekandanda on Adi Shankaryacharya

"The greatest teacher of the Vedanta philosophy was Shankaracharya. By solid reasoning he extracted from the Vedas the truths of Vedanta, and on them built up the wonderful system of Jnana that is taught in his commentaries" 1/6

Swami Vivekananda considered Adi Shankaracharya (Adi Shankara) as the greatest teacher of Vedanta philosophy.

Vivekananda was an admirer of Adi Shankara and translated Adi Shankara’s poem Atma Shatakam (also known as Nirvana Shatakam).

Shankara came, and showed that the real essence of Buddhism and that of the Vedanta are not very different, but that the disciples did not understand the Master and have degraded themselves, denied the existence of the soul and of God, and have become atheists.

Vivekananda said "Shankaracharya had caught the rhythm of the Vedas, the national cadence. Indeed I always imagine that he had some vision such as mine when he was young, and recovered the ancient music that way..."

Shankara taught that 3 things were the great gifts of God: Human Body, Thirst after God & a Teacher who can show up the light. When these three great gifts are ours, we may know that our redemption is at hand. Only knowledge can free and save us but with knowledge must go virtue.

*तिल का तेल ... पृथ्वी का अमृत*

यदि इस पृथ्वी पर उपलब्ध सर्वोत्तम खाद्य पदार्थों की बात की जाए तो तिल के तेल का नाम अवश्य आएगा और यही सर्वोत्तम पदार्थ बाजार में उपलब्ध नहीं है. और ना ही आने वाली पीढ़ियों को इसके गुण पता हैं.

🔹 क्योंकि नई पीढ़ी तो टी वी के इश्तिहार देख कर ही सारा सामान ख़रीदती है.
और तिल के तेल का प्रचार कंपनियाँ इसलिए नहीं करती क्योंकि इसके गुण जान लेने के बाद आप उन द्वारा बेचा जाने वाला तरल चिकना पदार्थ जिसे वह तेल कहते हैं लेना बंद कर देंगे.

🔹तिल के तेल में इतनी ताकत होती है कि यह पत्थर को भी चीर देता है. प्रयोग करके देखें....
🔹आप पर्वत का पत्थर लिजिए और उसमे कटोरी के जैसा खडडा बना लिजिए, उसमे पानी, दुध, धी या तेजाब संसार में कोई सा भी कैमिकल, ऐसिड डाल दीजिए, पत्थर में वैसा की वैसा ही रहेगा, कही नहीं जायेगा...

🔹लेकिन.अगर आप ने उस कटोरी नुमा पत्थर में तिल का तेल डाल दीजिए,उस खड्डे में भर दिजिये.2 दिन बाद आप देखेंगे कि,तिल का तेल.पत्थर के अन्दर भी प्रवेश करके,पत्थर के नीचे आ जायेगा.यह होती है तेल की ताकत, इस तेल की मालिश करनेसे हड्डियों को पार करता हुआ,हड्डियों को मजबूती प्रदान करता है.

SOUND OF THE SUN!

NASA found that the sound from the sun resembles the Vedic mantra 'Om'. It is the most sacred mantra of Brahman, the highest Universal Principle, the Ultimate Reality. Om connotes the metaphysical concept of Brahman.

The sound is often chanted either independently or before a mantra; it signifies the Brahman as the ultimate reality, consciousness or Atman. The Om sound is the primordial sound and is called the Shabda-Brahman (Brahman as sound).

Om is one of the most important spiritual sound in Hinduism. Our Vedas and Shastras are the most scientific and the Rishis who composed them were super Scientists! Be proud of your ancestors!

THE MEANING OF THE OM SYMBOL 

‘Om’, ‘Ohm’ or ‘Aum’ is a sacred sound that is known generally as the sound of the universe. Om is all encompassing, the essence of ultimate reality, and unifies everything in the universe.

The vibrations that the Om sound creates are thought to energize the chakras throughout the body, especially the third eye and crown chakras, which help us connect with our Divine selves.

क्या आप जानते हैं?

मांडव्य ऋषि कौन थे जिनके शापवश धर्मराज को एक दासीपुत्र बनकर जन्म लेना पड़ा। वह दासीपुत्र ही आगे चलकर विदुर कहलाये। विदुर बड़े ज्ञानी थे और हमेशा धर्म की बात करते थे।

अक्रूर जी जब हस्तिनापुर में विदुर से मिलकर आते हैं तो वे श्री कृष्ण से कहते हैं कि...

...महात्मा विदुर आपके परम भक्त हैं और वे आपसे मिलने के लिए उतावले हैं।तब श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं कि मैं भी धर्मराज से मिलने के लिए उतावला हूं। यह सुनकर अक्रूर जी आश्चर्य से कहते हैं,"धर्मराज!" तब श्री कृष्ण कहते हैं,"हां अक्रूर जी। आपने सही सुना।मैं धर्मराज से मिलने के लिए उतावला हूं।

क्योंकि विदुर साक्षात धर्मराज हैं जिन्होनें मांडव्य ऋषि के शाप के चलते इस धरती पर मनुष्य रूप में जन्म लिया है।"

चलिए जानते हैं मांडव्य ऋषि की कथा।
मांडव्य ऋषि एक महान तपस्वी थे जो खांडव वन में अपने आश्रम की एक कुटिया में रहते थे।एकदिन कुछ लुटेरे दौड़ते हुए ऋषि के आश्रम कीओर आए।

उन लुटेरों ने ऋषि से कहा कि कुछ लुटेरे हमारे पीछे पड़े हैं जो हमें जान से मारकर हमारा सारा धन लूटना चाहते हैं। हम व्यापारी हैं, कृप्या हमारी रक्षा करें और हमें आसरा दें। मांडव्य ऋषि उन लूटेरों को व्यापारी समझ उनकी सहायता करते हैं और कहते हैं कि अपना धन कुटिया में छुपा दो।

और तुम पीछे के रास्ते से भाग जाओ। लुटेरे धन छिपा कर वहां से भाग जाते हैं और तभी राजा के सिपाही वहां आ जाते हैं और वे ऋषि को लुटेरों की सहायता के आरोप में पकड़ लेते हैं। सिपाही सोचते हैं कि ये साधू भी उन लुटेरों के साथ मिला हुआ है और मांडव्य ऋषि को पकड़कर ले जाते हैं।

Thread on History of Kashi Vishwanath. Do read till end. Very interesting. Share and Support.

Vishwanath's first mention comes from Skanda Puran
The Glory of Kashi is described as such;
Skanda Purana Kashi Khand Chapter Six
Verse 68- "These seven cities are the bestowers of salvation here itself: Käsi, Kānti (Kāñcī), Māyā, Ayodhyā, Dvārāvatī, Mathurā and Avantikā."

Verse 71- "The other holy spots of salvation make Kāśī accesible. If one does not get released (from Samsāra) even after reaching Kāsi, he cannot get salvation even if he visits millions of other holy spots.

Chinese Buddhist Pilgrim Hiuen Tsang visited Kashi in 7th century, and wrote as such;
"The capital (Vārāṇasi) is densily populated. The families are very rich. The disposition of the people is soft and humane, and they are earnestly given to study."

"They are mostly unbelievers [that is Hindus]. In the capital there are twenty Deva [Hindu] temples, the towers and halls of which are of sculptured stone and carved wood. The foliage of trees combine to shade whilst pure streams of water encircle them."

VISIT TO MARTAND TEMPLE
One of the most remarkable architectural monuments I’ve seen so far have been in Kashmir where scores of Temples are unfortunately either in ruins or in dilapidated conditions (1)

My visit to Martand Sun Temple last week made me speechless and left me to think that this Temple once was a scintillating piece of architecture to those who witnessed its glory in full form. (2)

Little bit of history to this awe-inspiring masterpiece:

The Temple is dedicated to Surya Bhagwan, is the only Sun temple in the north. Two other Sun temples are at Konarak in Orrisa and at Modhera in Gujarat (3)

The sprawling campus of the temple was surrounded by 84 smaller shrines on the boundary.
One can still view these shrines & make out their significance.The central temple rose above the ground as if guarding the entire valley. The walls across are carved with several deities.(4)

This is how the original structure of Martand Sun Temple must have looked like (5)

You ever thought about what's cyber fraud, theft, warfare, terr0rism?

And how good or bad is India in tackling these crimes?

First let's first see what makes India vulnerable to cyber threats.

1 India is 2nd largest consumer for smart devices and 2nd largest number of Internet users after China.

2 Widespread digital illiteracy makes Indian citizens highly susceptible to cyber fraud, theft, etc.

3 Substandard devices: Inadequate security infrastructure.

4 Rampant use of unlicensed software and underpaid licenses as well.

5 Under-reporting: People do not report cybercrime because of lack of awareness!

6 Accelerated digital adoption, over a short span of time eg. After Jio's launch, users of internet increased but digital literacy remains low.

Now read some data regarding this

• Govt data shows that in 2019 alone, India witnessed 94 lakh instances of cybersecurity breaches.

• In terms of hacking of State and Central govt websites, Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) data shows that a total of 336 websites belonging to Central Ministries, Departments, and State govts were hacked between 2017-19.

Ayurveda and Vitiligo🙏🏻
Vitiligo is a skin whitening disease, It is a gradual loss of "Melanin" pigment from the skin layers
resulting white patches on the surface of skin. Vitiligo is a autoimmune disorder.
It usually starts with a small spot that later spreads into patches.

Due to the loss of pigment from the skin, the patches become whiter and each patch merge one another creating a broad patch. In some cases it spreads all over the body.
Vitiligo generally appears due to inactivity of melanocytes
cells which stop melanin production

It is also related to autoimmunity where body’s protective mechanism starts to destroy its own cells.
💠Their are many causes of it
⚪Wrong food and wrong food habit
⚪ Genetic
⚪Autoimmune Disorder
⚪Neural Causes
⚪Allergy to Chemicals
⚪Due to Critical Sunburn

💠Physiology of Melanin Pigment.
In human skin melanin is produced from the amino-acid
named tyrosin by the action of copper-containing enzyme
tyrosinase. This enzyme is present in the melanocytes,
which are located in the basal cell layer.

It transfers its pigment to the keratinising cells of the epidermis by means of their dendrite processes. In vitiligo this pigment is lost along with the keratinised cell during exfoliation of skin.

Long thread

Congress thought that India would become an Isl@mic nation by 2020-22, so from 2011 to 2013, Congress introduced the Communal Violence Law thrice in the Lok Sabha, but BJP strongly opposed it in the Lok Sabha, due to which it enslaved Hindus.

Cont 👇

The law that made could not be passed, if the law was passed, then the Hindu would definitely have become a slave. So already the Gandhi family named Priyanka Vadra's son as Rehan, which is a Mu$lim name so that the people of Congress can say..

Cont 👇

that our so the leader is Rehan and he is Mu$lim. It would have been Rehan Khan instead of Rehan Vadra, then this Congress would rule from generation to generation.

What is this law, read below Communal Violence Law...

Cont 👇

How was the Congress ready to prepare the noose for hanging for Hindus. Read this article in its entirety. You will tremble after reading this. Don't die while living and live by yearning. Sister daughter would have become a different victim of lust in front of you...

Cont 👇

"Communal violence bill"

Listen you Hindus who died for the Congress, why am I a staunch opponent of Congress.Terrifyingly dangerous plot of "Antonia Maino" You will get goosebumps after reading it. Had it been implemented, even death would have been difficult.

Do you know why Lord Krishna told Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna ... not just to help him in the Mahabharata war but he imparted it for the people of upcoming yuga i.e Kali Yuga coz he knew the challenges that lay ahead.

With the end of the Mahabharat war Dwapara Yuga ended too.

2/n

Krishna knew the eventuality. He knew Gandhari’s curse on him would come into effect soon. (She cursed him with the destruction of his clan for his refusal to disclose the truth of Karna’s ancestry to Suyodhana and prevent the Mahabharat war)

3/n

So he said to Kali Yuga "You can’t enter until I am alive" so the cunning Kali made a deal with Lord Krishna and said, "I will wait but you have to promise me that you won’t interfere in my yuga". Krishna agreed.

4/n

Kali said, "You won’t come like Rama/Krishna 2 restore Dharma coz in Kaliyuga thr won’t be Asura nor another Praani but the fight will b amongst humans n the real fight will b within every1, coz good n evil will reside in all. I'll to cause mayhem thru deception n confusion" 5/n

#SnanaJatra

Jagannath Bhagwan symbolises Bhagwan Krishna/Bhagwan Vishnu. He is the Ishtadevta/Kuldevta for many.

After all who's he? Jagannath is a combination of two words - Jagat (world) and nath (Bhagwan/master); in short Bhagwan of the Universe.

He's also known as "Sarbam Rahasyam Purusottamasya” which denotes the origin of Purusottama Jagannath is mysterious and enigmatic.

His black face represents the void and he dwells in Mahashunya.

He's a simple crude wooden idol with two wooden stumps as hands, conspicuous absence of legs with two big round eyes indicating sun and moon emerging from a big black face which symbolizes the Universe. He is worshiped as the Daru-Brahma.

The word Daru is derived from Da-Dukha or sorrow and Ru-to give.

During the #SNANAPURNIMA , 108 copper and gold pots are filled with water from suna kuan (golden well) and kept on the bhoga mandap. These vessels are brought to snana bedi on this day.

This ritual is called Jalad Hibasa. The dieties are first offered red powder, & then taken to #snana bedi, their bodies covered with silk clothes. Pouring of water is accompanied by chanting of Pavamana.

Do you know?

The Concept of Gravity and Laws of Motion are wrongly attributed to Isaac Newton when actually they have their roots in the Vedic Science as mentioned in the Hindu Scriptures.

Modern world has been taught this fallacy that universal gravitation was discovered...

...in 16th century by Newton when an apple fell in front of his eyes whereas it is actually described in Prashnopanishad(6000 BC). Rishi Kanad from the school of Vaisheshika, 2nd century BCE, wrote commentaries based on Vedas and Upanishads.

A little known school of scholars(Gurukulam) in South India(Kerala)discovered one of the founding principles of modern mathematics hundreds of years before Isaac Newton according to a new finding by Manchester University. Many would not believe how the christian missionaries...

...also helped in transporting this information to Britain in 15th century.
Dr. George Verghese Joseph from the Manchester University says, "The Kerala School identified the infinite series, one of the basic components of calculus in about 1350". The discovery is presently...

...wrongly attributed in books to Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibnitz at the end of 17th centuries.
The team from the Universities of Manchester and Exeter reveal the Kerala School also discovered what amounted to the Pi series and used it to calculate Pi correct to 9, 10...
