#VivahPanchami thread. Why did Shri Ram marry Mata Sita & what does it signify?

Tulsidas describes it as:

देखि सीय सोभा सुखु पावा। ह्रदयं सराहत बचनु न आवा।।
जनु बिरंचि जब निज निपुनाई। बिरचि बिस्व कहं प्रगटि देखाई।।

1/6

It means, seeing Sita, Ram was delighted. He was all praise for her in his heart; but said nothing. Her beauty seemed to him as if Brahma had presented the whole world’s beauty before his eyes.

Sita on the other hand kept praying to Paravati & wished Ram to be her husband.

Spiritual Significance:

Dashrath (Ten Chariots) represent 5 sense organs & 5 organs of action.

Ram represents pure form of Atman, i.e consciousness. Sita means Earth & represents मन (mind).

3/6

When Ram married Sita, the marriage represents: Pure Light merging with the Mind, which gives birth to the human body.

When Consciousness (Ram) merges with mind (Sita), conflicts arise. Both enter the dark forest of attractions & distractions (वनवास).

4/6

The whole Itihaas of Ramayan revolves around the re-union of the Mind with Consciousness.

Ram & Sita aren't merely two separate individuals. Sita is his reflection & Ram is Sita’s power of action. Their physical manifestation reflects a deeper unity between the two.

WHAT IS TATV OF ENTIRE MANTRAS ?

मन्त्र के अन्य तत्त्व -

1. ऋषि- शिवमुख से जिस ऋषि ने मन्त्र को सुनकर सिद्ध किया वही उसका प्रणेता है। उस मन्त्र का आदिगुरु उस ऋषि को मानकर जप करने से फल प्राप्त होगा। अतः विनियोग में ऋषि का उल्लेख जरुरी है।

2. देवता- मन्त्र की शक्ति के अधिष्ठाता देव का ज्ञान होना जरुरी है।

3. छन्दः संसार की उत्पत्ति हेतु ब्रह्म की शक्ति का छन्दोमय आवरण माना है अतः मन्त्र की शक्ति का विभाग, प्रकार जानने हेतु छन्द का ज्ञान विनियोग हेतु जरूरी है।

4. बीज मन्त्र जो बीज है उसी अनुरूप मन्त्र का फल व दिशा होती है अतः इसका स्मरण अवश्य किया जाना चाहियें। बीज मन्त्र का गर्भ होता है।

5. शक्ति- जिसकी सहायता से बीज मन्त्र बन जाता है वह शक्ति कहलाती है। विनियोग ऋषि, छन्द, देवता, बीज, शक्ति एवं कीलक का उल्लेख करते हुये अपनी कामना का

उल्लेख करके (सकाम अथवा निष्काम) विनियोग करने से मन्त्र के फल की दिशा एवं मार्ग तथा प्रतिफल का स्वरूप निर्धारित होता है।

6. ऋषिन्यास- विनियोग के बाद मन्त्र का ऋष्यदिन्यस करके ऋषि, देवता, छन्द, बीज आदि आपके अंग बन जाते हैं और आपके शरीर को मन्त्र-सदृश बना देते हैं।

“Why arghya (water offering) to the sun?

It is a common belief that by giving arghya to the sun one’s sins are washed out. It is written in the Skand-Parana that to take food without arghya to tha “sun is like committing sins

अथ संध्याया यदपः प्रभुक्ते ता विपुषो वज्रीयुत्वा

असुरान पाध्नान्ति ।।

The water used in prayer converts into vajra (hard stones) and destroys demons. The destruction of demons through sun-rays is figurative language. The demons for mankind are typhoid, tuberculosis, pneumonia etc. and their bacterias in water are destroyed by

the divine strength of sun-rays. The germs of anthrax, which survive years of drying, are killed by sun-rays in one and a half hours. Likewise, the harmful germs of cholera, pneumonia, small pox, T.B., which survive in boiling water are easily killed by the ultraviolet rays of

the sun, reactivated by water.”

In suryarghya, the devotees stand, in the morning facing the sun, take handful “attentively, you will see the seven coloured spectrum of light.
It is considered proper to offer water to the sun from a lota with convex edge. If the edge of the

pot, from which you are offering water to the sun, is concave, you will see the sun in a bigger form
In such a situation our eyes will not be in a position to bear the sun-rays. It would be better if the lota is of copper or brass, instead of a bright metal such as aluminium or

There is a village in remote interiors of Goa, on the banks of River Kushavati, called Rivona.

As per history, its original name was **Rishi Vana**, a forest where Rishis reside. It's well known for its Buddhist caves.

Recently, Rivona became the talk of the town all over Goa, when one day, all of a sudden, the Prime Minister of India Modi made a phone call to the village to congratulate a 16-year old boy Priavrat Patil!

What made the Prime Minister of India call Priyavrat Patil,

was that this young handsome teenager had cracked one of the most difficult exams in Sanskrit! This makes him one of the topmost scholars of Sanskrit in the country!

When we reached Rivona it was quite dark, and Cyclone Nisarga was approaching. There we met Smt. Patil.

Their house itself was the first revelation of it's scholarly atmosphere! It was not just a house, it was a Rishi Ashram!

The young man and his Father were not at the home. So Smt. Patil called her Son on his mobile. The very first thing i noticed was, that this lady

who was talking to us in fluent Konkani and Marathi, was talking with the same fluency to her Son in Sanskrit!

Pryavrat's Father Mahamahopadhyaya Devdutt Patil and his Mother together run a Sanskrit Gurukul in this village. It's a small institution with 30-odd resident students.

पंचाग में महूरत का महत्व क्या है?

प्राचीन कला जिससे गृह चाल और नक्षत्रो की सही गणना कैसे होती थी?

Information by - Swami kevalya ji 🙏

हिन्दू धर्म में किसी भी कार्य की शुरुआत से पहले पंडित द्वारा एक विशेष मुहूर्त निकलवाया जाता है | कार्य मंगलमय और लाभदायक हो इसलिए सही वार, नक्षत्र और तिथि देखी जाती है और इसलिए पंचांग का उपयोग होता है | कौनसा दिन और समय कितना शुभ है इसकी सटीक जानकारी पंचांग के माध्यम से आसानी से

प्राप्त हो सकती है पर इसको जानना भी एक कला है क्युकी हर कोई इतनी गूढ़ गणना करने में असमर्थ होता है |
पंचांग के पाँच अंग :

1) नक्षत्र: पंचांग का पहले अंग है नक्षत्र और प्राचीन ज्योतिष शास्त्र अनुसार 27 नक्षत्र होते है पर मुहूर्त की गणना करते है एक और नक्षत्र यानी 28 वे

नक्षत्र को भी गिना जाता है जो की "अभिजीत" नक्षत्र है | सभी मांगलिक कार्य जैसे शादी, मुंडन, सगाई, गृह प्रवेश आदि से पहले नक्षत्रो का सही स्थान पर होना बहुत ज़रूरी है |

2) तिथी : पंचांग का दूसरा अंग तिथी है और यह 16 प्रकार की होती है और इनमे भी पूर्णिमां और अमावस

दो सबसे महत्वपूर्ण तिथियां होती है | यह दोनों महीने में एक बार ज़रूर आती है | हिन्दू कैलेंडर के हिसाब से एक महीने को दो भागो में बाटा जाता है जिसे कृष्णा पक्ष और शुक्ल पक्ष के नाम से जान जाता है | अमावस और पूर्णिमा के बीच के समय को शुक्ल पक्ष कहा जाता है वही पूर्णिमा से अमावस के

While the numbers have the above significance, each number has been attached to a particular planet in Astrology, the reason is: cetain planet produces the similar vibration of a certain number. Thus 1- Sun, 2- Moon, 3- Jupiter,

4- Uranus or Rahu, 5- Mercury, 6- Venus, 7- Neptune or Kethu, 8- Saturn, and 9- Mars. Number 0 should not be attached to any planet, since it is the root cause of all the numbers. It increases the strength of a number.

The numbers have been attached to Alphabet also.

1- A,I,J,Q,Y. 2- B,K,R. 3- C,G,L,S. 4- D,M,T. 5- E,H,N,X. 6- U,V,W. 7- O,Z. 8- F,P.

Now let us take an illustration. SWAMI VIVEKANANDA ji who shook the world by his philosophical teachings, was born on 12th January 1863.
His birth date number: 12 = 3.
His birth compound number:

12+1+1863 = 22.
His birth single number: 2+2 = 4.
His name single number: SWAMI VIVEKANANDA = 52 = 7.

Vivekananda’s birth date number 3 and name number 7 represent that he is ambitious

His ambitions are more focussed on service to poor and downtrodden as is shown by 4 in his

birth single number

His birth compound number 22 shows that he is highly religious and inclined in purification of mind and soul
Let us take only VIVEKANANDA= 37 which clearly shows that he is a spiritual guru And 3+7 = 1 shows beginning of new ventures which is an indication of

#Thread on Sri Rudram

The text of Sri Rudram is drawn from Krishna Yajurved, one of the four Veds.

Sri Rudram is divided into two parts - the Namakam and the Chamakam.

Namaka lays stress on virakti (detachment) whereas Chamaka dwells on desires for this and that. What is to be discarded and what is to be desired?

"NA" means no, while "MA" means want. I don’t want anything, I don’t want anything is the first half.

While the second half, chamakam means I want. I want indicates being full of desires. What do they desire? Oh Bhagwan, grant us pure air; grant us good drinking water; bless us with good food.

A shlok defines Sri Rudram very beautifully: "Among all sources of knowledge, the Vedas are supreme. In the Vedas, Sri Rudram is supreme. In the Rudram, the Panchakshari mantra (namah Sivay) is supreme & in Panchakshari mantra itself, the two syllables 'Siva' is supreme!"

The benefits of chanting Sri Rudram are

• Rudra drives away negative energies.

• Helps us to sail this ocean called life smoothly.

• Removes Ignorance, and helps us to realise our true selves.

The Centre in Thirunelveli comprises multi-disciplinary scientists for the measurements of electric and magnetic fields originating in the near-Earth environment. It is located close to the magnetic equator (the dip angle being 1.75oN) (8.7oN, 77.8oE geographic).

#Thread

Coordinates of Thirunelveli is 8.73°N 77.7°E, 2 * dfference from Chidambaram at 79* 41 East Longitude.

And this is reason why Chidambaram is called center of Universe.

Chidambaram Temple,Tamil Nadu India is the Geo Magnetic Centre of the Earth/Universe and / center of Geo magnetic equator.

Of the branches of Physics we know very little about Magnetism.

Magnetic field study is evolving and most of them are at a theoretical stage.

As there are references to Chidambaram being the center of the Earth’s ? Universe’s Magnetic Field I researched.

Chidambaram Temple aerial View.

It is also stated that Lord Nataraja ‘s big toe is the Centre Point of World ‘s Magnetic Equator.

Chidambaram ,Kanchipuram and Sri Kalahasti lie in a straight line at 79* 41 East Longitude.

Curious as these happen to be among the Panchabhuta Sthalas, Places of Five Elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.

Changdev was a Yogi who had achieved several siddhis. He had defied death 42 times using his siddhis & hence lived for 1400 years.

He liked being respected by people.

One day he came to know about Sant Dynaneshwar. He wondered why such a young boy like Dynaneshwar was getting so much attention.

Slowly, he started feeling jealous of Dynaneshwar and his increasing popularity among people.

Muktabai, Dnyaneshwar’s sister responded to Changdev saying, "Only a sant can understand a Sant. Even though your age is 1400 but you are still as blank as your letter". Reading this Changdev decided to meet Dnyaneshwar himself.

Changdev had developed pride due to his extraordinary achievements. He came to visit Dnyaneshwar with pomp, riding a tiger, wielding a serpent as a whip.

Dnyaneshwar was sitting on a masonary wall with his siblings, when he came to know about Changdev’s arrival.

Importance of Nritya Ganapati..

Nritiya Ganapati is the dancing form of Ganesha and is one of the 32 forms of Ganapathi. Ganapati is a connoisseur of fine arts. A devotee of Nritya Ganapati attains proficiency in 64 types of fine arts and achieves excellence in them.

In this form the Ganesha appears in golden hue complexion in dancing posture on one leg under Kalpavriksha with four hands. On his main right hand holds the tusk and the upper hand with elephant goad, on the left hand hold a battle-axe and noose.

On his fingers with rings and the trunk curled holding his favourite sweet Modaka.
Magha nakshatra is associated with this form of Ganapati.

His worship is believed to bestow the devotees with an aptitude for learning fine arts, proficiency in them, also success in that field.

My dear brothers & sisters, I am making a very important request to you all to please read this message thoroughly till the end.
The 2022 census is going to be completed very shortly & people in charge of the census will meet you soon for this purpose..

2.
During the data collection on the languages you know, please declare Sanskrit as one of the languages you know. Even if we cannot speak sanskrit fluently, all of us use Sanskrit for chanting of shloks, pujas & rituals.
Lol

3.
In last census the number of people who knew Sanskrit were only two thousand, where as Arabic & Parsi speaking people were more in number . Therefore the government allocated more funds for the development of these languages.

4.
If Sanskrit is not widely spoken, it will be declared as an extinct language & due to this the publication of our age old religious books, Vedas & Puranas in sanskrit will be stopped. Sanskrit is one of the oldest & most beautiful languages of "Bharat".

5.
It is the mother of many languages in the world. So it is our moral duty to keep this language alive & ensure that we don't lose Sanskrit as a language for ever. Only our awakened attempt can save Sanskrit.

Do you know?

According to Hindu scriptures Brahmarandhra is a tender spot on top of the head when a child is born.The bone does not form in this spot untill the child grows to a certain age.

Randhra is a Sanskrit word, but it is in common usage in other Indian languages too.

Randhra means a passage, like a small hole or a tunnel. This is the space in the body through which life descends into the fetus.

There are many medical cases where stillbirth happens though by all medical parameters, the fetus is healthy and everything is fine.

This is simply because the life within is still choosing. If a being enters into a fetus and finds it unsuitable as it evolves to become a baby, it leaves. That is why one door is kept open.

This is the reason why in Indian culture, so many precautions were taken to create a different kind of atmosphere around a pregnant woman. We are giving that up nowadays, but this used to be done hoping that something better than who you are comes into your womb.

So a pregnant woman used to be kept in a certain state of comfort and wellbeing. With the right kind of incense, sounds and foods, everything was done so that her body is in a state that it welcomes the right kind of being.

Did Brahma Dev marry his daughter?

NO!

Only a fool who has zero knowledge of Sanatan Dharma would ask such an obscene question. Before making such an idiotic question, understand who is Brahma Dev and Maa Saraswati.

Brahma Dev is the creator of the universe. When a desire for a female companion rose in His heart, He split himself into two halves. His another halve came to be known as Devi Saraswati, and she is his Wife, not his daughter. A Daughter is born when a male and female consummate.

Maa Saraswati is the Goddess of Knowledge. To create something, one needs to possess the knowledge of the process. With the help of Maa Saraswati, Pita Brahma Dev created the universe and all the beings. Through his consciousness, He created 7 Manas Putras, the 7 sages.

The same is the case with other Gods of our Trimurtis. Prabhu Shree Hari Narayan's other half is Maa Laxmi, while Maa Parvati is for Prabhu Mahadev. For Indra Dev, it's Indrayani or Shachi Devi. This is what Ardhanareshwar or Ardhanareshwari is all about.

There is no difference between Prabhu Brahma and Maa Saraswati. They both are the same just like Shree Hari and Maa Laxmi, and Mahadev and Maa Parvati. That is the reason we call our spouse or wife our better half.

Since 1137 CE, the original body of Vaishnava philosopher and guru Ramanujacharya has been preserved inside Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam, Tiruchinarpalli.

#Thread

Sri Ramajunacharya was a follower of the Sri Vaishnavism school of thought.

To keep the body in good shape, sandalwood paste and saffron are used, with no further chemicals added.

A coat of camphor mixed with saffron, which forms an ochre/orange color on the preserved body, is applied twice a year, and this tradition dates back over 878 years.

His body is placed behind his statue and is exposed to all devotees for darshan.
Fingernails can be seen, indicating that the object is a human body.
Lord Ranganatha personally commanded that his bodily body be put in the southwest corner of the Srirangam temple's fifth circuit.

Many Srivaishnavas are unaware that in Srirangam, their holiest place dubbed "Bhuloka Vaikuntam" (Heaven on Earth), the body of Sri Ramanuja has been preserved in its original state without fanfare or publicity

Thousands of travelers have flocked to India throughout history. The rich knowledge of India's scholars has drawn seekers of knowledge to this land of mystery and old wisdom for centuries.

When Galileo declared that the world was round, he had no idea that the Indian scholar Aaryabhata had already proclaimed this in his work Aryabhatiya, written in 499 CE, thousands of years before him.

Aaryabhata and another scholar, Brahmagupta, went on to properly declare that the earth revolves around the sun and rotates on its own axis. Something mentioned even earlier in the Rig Veda, was written between 314 and 3129 BCE.

For centuries, what the rest of the world termed geography was known in India as bhushastra. 'Bhu' is the Sanskrit word for earth, and shastra is the Sanskrit word for science.

Albiruni, a Persian scholar who arrived to India in 1030 CE, wrote in his magnum opus work Kitab-ul-Hind of his awe at the Indians' great knowledge of geography.

The Sri Yaganti Uma Maheswara Temple is located 14 kilometers from Banaganipalli in the Kurnool district, 55 kilometers from Nandyal, 80 kilometers from Kurnool, and 308 kilometers from Hyderabad, and 359 kilometers from Vijayawada.

#Thread

Yaganti is one of Andhra Pradesh's most well-known Shiva temples. Pallavas, Cholas, Chalukyas, and Vijayanagara emperors all contributed to the construction of the temple in the 5th and 6th centuries.

When the Kali Yuga ends, the Basavanna (stone nandi) of Yaganti will come alive and shout, according to Potuluri Veera Brahmendra Swamy.

People used to do Pradakshinas (rounds) around it in the past, according to legend. As the size of the Nandi has grown, the temple personnel has already removed one pillar.

The Nandi (Bullock, Lord Shiva's) idol in front of the temple, according to believers, is constantly growing in size.

Is the Cholas' kudavolai system a forerunner to today's democracy?

#Thread

The 'Kudavolai' (Kuda Olai) voting method, which predates today's Constitutional Democracy, dates back to the Chola dynasty (900 CE).

The Chola government was based on democratic ideas, & the Panchayat system developed throughout their reign. The Chola dynasty's administration was primarily monarchical in nature, with the king at the center and all executive, legislative, & military authorities vesting in him.

A council of ministers and other important officials was present to advise the king on the Chola Empire administration.

The Chola self-government was founded on village 'general assemblies,' or'sabhas,' or'mahasabhas.' These general assemblies were in charge of overseeing all elements of village life. In each village, there were 30 wards.
