More than 50,000 years old artifacts are found in Tamil Nadu. History of India is surprisingly vast and exquisite than was ever taught to us.

Dating of these artifacts recovered from the sites (293 Tamil Sagam sites, Vaigai River, Madurai) is a challenge to C14,..

...Carbon dating,as C14 is useless in dating anything beyond 50000 years.This,coupled with the systematic misinformation about Indian history by the Agenda filled western scholars, straight from Max Mueller to present day pseudo researchers from the West,the self styled..

...secularists and Anglophiles, who try to muddle our history and our general reluctance to study our regional and Sanskrit texts and our labelling them as myth,without bothering to read them, has led us to be unaware of our history.

..And the north south divide, the hoax of Aryan Invasion and the lie of Tamils and Dravidas being antagonistic to Vedic culture has made us look at Indian history in compartments.

The Tamil/ Dravidian culture was and is a part of Sanatan Dharma and existed along with it.

20,000 year old Poompuhar site in Tamil Nadu with Vedic Links,Sites near Palani, Andippati,Adichanallu,
Now Kezhadi,in Sivaganga District,near Madurai has revealed a river civilization beneath the ground.

And it belongs to Sangam Era.

The constitution of India is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world and it was written by a man named Prem Behari Narain Raizada in his own handwriting.

The constitution has always been associated with Dr Ambedkar,chairman of the drafting committee,who was its architect,but very little is known about the man who penned it down.

The first draft of Indian Constitution was completed on 26th Nov 1949 is no less than a masterpiece.

While Nandalal Bose and his students designed the borders of every page and adorned it with beautiful art pieces, it was the singlehanded effort of Prem Behari Narain Raizada (Saxena) that brought the primary contents and the preamble to the Constitution, to life.

Shri Prem Behari was born on 17 December 1901, in a family of traditional calligraphists. He lost his parents when he was very young and was brought up by his grandfather Master Ram Parshadji Saxena and uncle Mahashya Chatur Behari Narayan Saxena.

Prem Behari’s grandfather was a scholar in Persian & English. He even taught Persian to British officials.
When the draft of the Constitution was ready to be printed,the then PM Jawaharlal Nehru approached Shri Behari with the proposal of handwriting it in a flowing italic style.

MAHATMA GANDHI IS NOT THE FATHER OF MY NATION

I agree that a Mahatma got us our freedom, but his name was Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, not Mohandas Gandhi.
Very early in the childhood of each child of Bharat, it is taught that there is no better Mahatma than Gandhi.

Kids are brainwashed with an image of Gandhi that is far from reality.

An old weak saint walking with a stick,who drove the mighty British away,with his so called weapon of Ahimsa.I mean, really ??

In the centre of Pic is the first Prime Minister of India that we never had.

If that's the case then the freedom fighters like Subhash Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azaad, Lala Lajpat Rai, Sukhdev and many more died for nothing.
There deaths were all just a waste. Anyone who believes this today is a fool of highest order.

And to strengthen this thought process a bunch of lies were planted effortlessly by the liberals, pseudo-seculars , leftists and the bootlickers of Britishers like Nehru quite liberally since independence.
No wonder our History textbooks are full of this shit.

Lie#1: We have been taught that Rabindranath Tagore coined the name “Mahatma” for Gandhi.
But, did he ??

The answer is No. It was coined by some of his chamchas while he was in South Africa.

For a very long time we had heard that Mahmud Ghazni attacked India from 1001 AD- 1027 AD but DO YOU KNOW ?

It was Maharaja Jayapala of Hindu Shahi Dynasty who decided to invade Ghazni twice.

During the period of 870 CE the Hindu Shahi lost Kabul and were forced to retreat. This temporary loss of the great Hindu Shahi kingdom was the beginning of another chapter in the medieval history of the Indian Sub-continent.

The introduction of the Turk warlords completely changed the mentality and the conduct of war. The establishment of this new Muslim Turk authority in Ghazni completely changed the policy of the Muslims.

Under the Turks,the raids on the Hindu Shahi’s and later on northern India became even more aggressive and lethal. The first Hindu king who faced this wave of the Turks was Jayapala, who fought till his last breath in order to protect his kingdom of people.

The Hindu Shahi after 870 CE transferred their capital to Udabhandapura as they had suffered heavy losses from the war against the Arabs and also from the defeat they suffered from a Turkish leader Yaqub ibn Layth.

Do you know, how did the term 'Tree Hugger' originate? Who inspired the Chipko Movement and who was Amrita Devi Bishnoi?

The first tree huggers were 294 men and 69 women belonging to the Bishnois branch of Hinduism,who,in 1730,died while trying to protect the trees in their...

..village from being turned into the raw material for building a palace. They literally clung to the trees, while being slaughtered by the foresters. But their action led to a royal decree prohibiting the cutting of trees in any Bishnoi village. And now those villages are...

...virtual wooded oases amidst an otherwise desert landscape. The Bishnoi community is often called the protector of wildlife and environment in Western Rajasthan, at times going to lengths for their cause. One of the more well-known cases that catapulted them to fame was when...

...the community dragged Bollywood actor Salman Khan to court for allegedly killing two blackbucks in 1998 near Jodhpur. The community followed the case with dogged conviction for 20 years.
Bishnoism as a sect has 29 tenets that its followers are expected to abide by,..

...refraining from cutting green trees is one of them. In 1730, a local woman called Amrita Devi Bishnoi of the present day Khejrali village near Jodhpur was so steadfast in her belief of this tenet that she stood with an unwavering courage against a royal troop assigned to cut..

🌺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.

🌺Do you know the great King of Bahraich named Suheldev?
Here's his story.🌺

The Ghznavid invasions had crippled India like no other invasion ever before. Mahmud of Ghzni was perhaps one of the first invaders to actually dent the strong Indian defences after alexander the great.

But ultimately he couldn’t follow up with the empire as his kingdom stopped at the north western region of India.

His nephew, Salar Masud would go on to continue his dream of raiding and plundering India every single year.

As a young upstart, Salar showed ferocity just like his uncle while his martial fervour eclipsed even that of his warrior ancestors.

At a young age of 16 he led his army to capture various parts of northern India including Ajmer and Delhi by the help of the Ghaznavid Army.

His eastward expansion continued till he reached the region of Bahraich.

Throughout his journey, the bardic tales states that he plundered temples and monasteries, showing to the populace how weak their local rulers were.

But this king of Shravastavi was different.

Suheldev was the valiant son of Mordhwaj and a very just ruler.

He was the one who united all the northern kingdoms under one rule to oppose the oncoming assault.

कार्तिक मास की पूर्णिमा को त्रिपुरारी पूर्णिमा भी कहते हैं। धर्म ग्रंथों के अनुसार, इसी दिन भगवान शिव ने तारकाक्ष, कमलाक्ष व विद्युन्माली के त्रिपुरों का नाश किया था। त्रिपुरों का नाश करने के कारण ही भगवान शिव का एक नाम त्रिपुरारी भी प्रसिद्ध है।

भगवान शिव के त्रिपुरारी कहलाने के पीछे एक बहुत ही रोचक कथा है। शिव पुराण के अनुसार जब भगवान शिव के पुत्र कार्तिकेय ने दैत्यराज तारकासुर का वध किया तो उसके तीन पुत्र तारकक्ष, विमलाकक्ष, तथा विद्युन्माली अपने पिता की मृत्यु पर बहुत दुखी हुए।

उन्होंने देवताओ और भगवान शिव से अपने पिता की मृत्यु का बदला लेने की ठानी तथा कठोर तपस्या के लिए ऊंचे पर्वतो पर चले गए। अपनी घोर तपस्या के बल पर उन्होंने ब्रह्मा जी को प्रसन्न किया और उनसे अमरता का वरदान माँगा। परन्तु ब्रह्मा जी ने कहा की मैं तुम्हे यह वरदान देने में असमर्थ हूँ

अतः मुझ से कोई अन्य वरदान मांग लो। तब तारकासुर के तीनो पुत्रो ने ब्रह्मा जी से कहा की आप हमारे लिए तीन पुरों का निर्माण करवाइये तथा इन पुरों के अंदर बैठे-बैठे हम पृथ्वी का भ्रमण आकाश मार्ग से करते रहें। जब एक हजार साल बाद यह पुर एक दूसरे के पीछे एक ही दिशा में आयें...

...उस समय जो कोई देवता इन त्रिपुरों को केवल एक ही बाण में नष्ट कर दे वही हमारी मृत्यु का कारण बने।

ब्रह्माजी ने तीनो को यह वरदान दे दिया व एक मयदानव को प्रकट किया। ब्रह्माजी ने मयदानव से तीन पुरों का निर्माण करवाया जिनमे पहला सोने का दूसरा चांदी का व तीसरा लोहे का था।

नेहरू को किताब लिखनी थी तो ब्रिटिश सरकार ने जेल में पुस्तकालय बनवा दिया। वीर सावरकर जी ने काल कोठरी की दीवारों पर नाखून और किलों से कितनी कविताएं लिखीं, कोई किताब छपी?
रोज 7 किलो तेल कोल्हू से निकाला और न जाने कितनी ही यातनाएं सही।
पर गुणगान तो सिर्फ नेहरू का हुआ।

#VeerSavarkar

सावरकर भारत माता के उन वीर पुत्रों में से एक हैं जिन्हें इतिहास में कभी उनका सही स्थान नहीं दिया गया।
और क्यों नहीं दिया गया ,ये बात किसी से छिपी नहीं है।

Although, the Congress is out of Power from 7 years and it should remain so forever but sometimes I really wonder, "Is out of Power Congress more dangerous to our Nation or the Congress in Power?"

- Rahul Gandhi visited JNU in Feb 2016 to support those so called students who had shouted," Bharat tere Tukde Honge, Insha Allah, Insha Allah".

- Salman Khurshid spitted venom against his own PM and praised Pak PM Nawaz Sharif for fighting terrorism in most effective way...

..when he gave lecture at Jinnah Institute in Islamabad in Nov 2015. What was more hurtful for Indians was that he didn't say a single word on terrorism India had been facing in Kashmir &instead gave an impression as if Pak is ready for negotiation but India under Modi is not.

- Mani Shankar Ayyar in the most shameful way asked Pakistan to remove India's PM Modi, if talks between two nations to be resumed, in a discussion on a Media Channel.

- Congress Party was said to have signed an MoU with Chinese Communist Party in 2008 during UPA rule.

- Rahul Gandhi was busy meeting with Chinese Diplomats at the same time when Indian forces were at a standoff with Chinese Army in Doklam.

- He repeatedly undermined India's position favouring China's during Galwan Clashes. What was he trying to do?

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।

Why number 108 is so pious in Vedic Sanatan Dharma?

As per Vedic science,the universe is made up of 108 elements.And why 108 is auspicious for Hindus? Let us understand,there r many reasons.

Vedic cosmology believes diameter of Sun is 108.7 times that of earth.

The distance between earth and sun is 108 times the sun.

The distance between earth and moon is 108 times the diameter of the moon.

Our eyes can see up to 3 dimensions but sages could perceive with their yogic powers beyond these real metaphysical dimensions.

Power of 1= 1; Power of 2= 4; Power of 3= 27. And 1x4x27 = 108. This way our eyes perceive matter.

Shiva Purana records 108 Karanas in Tandava (Cosmic dance) as employed in Yoga, Vedic martial Arts part of Dhanurvidya, Kalaripayattu and Kung Fu.

SriYantra is made of Marmas which r intersection of 3 lines. There r 54 such intersections,each having masculine(Purusha)- consciousness&feminine (Prakriti)-matter,qualities.
Thus,there r 54×2=108 points.Sri Yantra is made up of 54 Pentagons&each angle of Pentagon is 108degrees.

The Atman or the human consciousness goes through 108 stages on its journey post death.

In Vedic Astrology, there are 12 houses and 9 planets. 12 times 9 equals 108.

Tantra estimates,in 1 minute, a healthy human breathes 15 times, in 1 hour 900 times and in 12 hrs 10800 times.

भारत में रहस्यमय और प्राचीन मंदिरों की कोई कमी नहीं है। एक ऐसा ही मंदिर उत्तराखंड के श्रीनगर से करीब 14 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर स्थित है।

यहां हर दिन एक चमत्कार होता है, जिसे देखकर लोग हैरान हो जाते हैं। दरअसल,इस मंदिर में मौजूद माता की मूर्ति दिन में तीन बार अपना रूप बदलती है।मूर्ति सुबह में एक कन्या की तरह दिखती है,फिर दोपहर में युवती और शाम को एक बूढ़ी महिला की तरह नजर आती है।यह नजारा हैरान कर देने वाला होता है।

NAGA in Sanskrit means mountain, people residing in and around mountains are known as Pahadi or Naga.
The history of NAGA SADHUS is very old,the traces of legacy are found in Mohenjo-Daro coins & images where Naga Sadhus are shown worshipping Bhagwan Shiv in Pashupatinath form.

Alexander and his soldiers also met Naga Sadhus during their stay in India. Buddha and Mahavira were impressed to see the penance of Naga Sadhus, their devotion for the people and motherland.
During the invasion of mlecchaas( mughals), there were series of attacks on Sanatanis..

...and Hindu structures. At that time, a massive exercise was carried over by Naga Sadhus to organise their strength and form Akhadas so that they all fight under one saffron flag to protect Hindu Culture and Vedic traditions of India.

Naga Sadhus protected ancient Hindu Temples from invaders. During ancient times, Naga Sadhus were taught to fight the invaders ferociously. They were equipped with Talwars, Trishuls, Gadaas, Teer Kamaans and strategic skills to protect Mandirs and Matths.

Aurangzeb's special army of Muslims who was established to destroy Hindu Temples &structures was defeated myriad times.These terrorist Muslim invaders were killed by Naga Sadhus in the war for Dharma in which the ferocious Nagas protected Mandirs & kept alive Shiv Bhakti..

Mahabharata starts with the following verse:

🌺नारायणम नमसकृत्य
नरम चैव नरोत्तमम,
देविम सरस्वतिम चैव
ततो जयमुदिरायत।।🌺

“‘Jaya’ must be recited after having bowed in obeisance before Narayana and also Nara, the supreme human being, and also the goddess Sarasvati.”

Narayan, the supreme lord and Nara, the exalted human being, are together worshipped along with goddess Saraswati, before reciting the Epic. The Mahabharata identifies Krishna with Narayana and Arjuna with Nara in the divine pair.

The legend of Nara-Narayana is also told in the scripture Bhagavata Purana. Nara and Narayana were both considered as Gods and Rishis, who took birth as sons of Dharma through his wife Murti who was a daughter of Daksha.

Nara and Narayana travelled to the hermitage of Badri in their golden wagons and engaged in fierce austerities there.

Badrinath Mandir's sanctorium, to the far right side of the stone image of Badri-Vishala
(or Badri-Narayana), are the images of Nara and Narayana.

Also, the Nara and Narayana peaks tower over Badrinath.

The Swaminarayan sect worships Nara-Narayana Deva and they are believed to reside at Badrikashram and to be the prime controllers of the destiny of all beings, depending on their karma.

🌺The land of Bharat is known to be the land of Saints and Gods🌺

It is filled with various types of unexplainable & mysterious things.
In ancient times,various saints, after doing years of meditation, yog saadhna & hard work found the secrets hidden in Vedas about 1000 yrs ago.

The inventions our great sages did were later came to be known as modern science. Some of the saints came out with such amazing inventions that shocked the Kings of those times as well.

Do you know who were the ancient Siddharshis?

Siddharshis were a type of Saints in ancient India who were said to have had many powers and achieved a God-like state through specific secret practices that were known only to them.

These powers were spanned from controlling time and space, to transforming the body, manipulating matter at the molecular level and achieving immortality.

The Siddharshi were the followers of Bhagwan Shiv and according to different texts there were 18 of them.

Their teachings and findings were written in the form of poems in the Tamil language.

There is a debate as to who was the first Siddharshi.
Sone legends talk about Sri Pathanjali but the prevailing tradition refers to Agasthya as the first Siddharshi.

We all know that Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam is the richest and one of the most revered shrines in India. But, there are so many interesting mystical facts out there beyond the commonly known trivia. Let us know about some of them:
-Idol of Prabhu is not at the centre.

Idol of the Prabhu appears to be standing in the centre of the Sanctorum but technically it is not. The Idol is placed actually at the right hand corner of the Shrine.

-Real Hair of Balaji: The hair worn by Prabhu are smooth, silky, tangle free and absolutely real.

There is a story behind those faultless locks.
During his regime on earth Prabhu Balaji lost his hair in an unexpected mishap.A Gandharva Princess named Neela Devi cut a portion of her glorious silky mane &offered them humbly to the Deity &requested him to plant them on his head.

Pleased with her devotion,the God accepted the kind offering and promised that whoever visits his shrine and sacrifices his/her hair at his feet will be blessed.Ever since, it has been a custom among devotees to shave their head-off in the temple after their wishes are fulfilled.

-Sea Waves behind Prabhu Balaji's Idol: You may not believe until you hear for yourself. The sound of enormous seawaves can be heard if one puts his/her ear on the back of the deity's idol housed in the Shrine.

-Perpetual lit lamps:The light of the earthen lamps placed before...
