ARE WE FAMILIAR WITH THE MEANING & POWER OF MANTRAS WE CHANT?

Whenever we chant a Mantra in Sanskrit, it starts with 'Om' and mostly ends with 'Swaha' or 'Namaha'. This specific alignment of words has a specific meaning to it which is explained in Dharma Shastra.

 Mantra is a Sanskrit word meaning sacred syllable or sacred word. But Mantras r not just words put together,they r also vibrations.The whole Universe is a cosmic energy in different states of vibration &this energy in different states of vibration forms the objects of Universe.
According to Scriptures,Om is considered to be ekaakshar Brahman,which means Om is the ruler of 3 properties of creator,preserver&destroyer which make the https://t.co/lyhkWeCdtv is also seen as a symbol of Lord Ganesha, as when starting the prayer,it's him who is worshipped 1st.
'Om' is the sound of the Universe. It's the first original vibration of the nothingness through which manifested the whole Cosmos. It represents the birth, death and rebirth process. Chanting 'Om' brings us into harmonic resonance with the Universe. It is a scientific fact.
Therefore, Mantras are described as vibrational words that are recited, spoken or sung and are invoked towards attaining some very specific results. They make very specific sounds at a frequency that conveys a directive into our subconcious.
Some Mantras are just prayers of the Gods & Goddesses while others are some powerful commands yielding some specific results. Many Mantras has one of two endings of either Namah or Swaha. 'Namah' means,
'I offer'and it can be used to worship Gods and Goddesses alike.
Namah is the Mantra of reverence &surrender.Mantras ending with Namah directs energy throughout our being. Hence,its very helpful to manifest abundant energy &is also beneficial for healing.
Swaha ,on other hand is used when oblations r being offered to Deities in the Yajna fire.
'Swaha' is also used after those Mantras in which, one wants to project more energy into. Its used as a demanding Mantra from the Deities.

मननात त्रायते इति मंत्र:

Meaning,'That which when thought of repeatedly protects oneself and also that which protects one from the mind'.
'Mantrayoga' also means that state in which contemplation stops during chanting, there is dissolution of the mind ie the one chanting the mantra ,the act of chanting and the seeker attains the state of dissolution (Layavastha).
मन्त्राणां पल्लवो वासो। मन्त्राणां प्रणव: शिर:। शिर: पल्लव संयुक्तो। काम्धुक भवेत।।
Meaning,'The letters or words in a mantra constitute its body and the Om at its beginning,is the head. If both the head and body are present then with that mantra one's aspirations are fulfilled'.
COMPOSITION OF MANTRAS

Usually,Mantra consists of the name of Deity to be worshipped, the favour to be asked &a decorative part at the end of Mantra called 'Pallav'

The meaning of some words that appear at the end of a Mantra:

'Namah'-Appeasing the Deity by surrendering to him
'Swaha' -Destruction of harmful energy, e.g. curing disease &doing good to others,appeasing the Deity with oblations.

'Svadha' -Self-contentment, strengthening oneself.

'Phat' -A spiritual emotion of destroying the enemy,driving it away.

'Hum' -Anger &courage to destroy enemy.
Vedic Mantras r superior to all other Mantras.Since,Vedic Mantras r directly the word of God,they r very efficacious when recited&sung properly in right circumstances.

SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE OF MANTRA CHANTING is dat Mantras create these vibrations in air when chanted.
During chanting process, everybody involved gets immersed in this vibration &gets the benefit. Its a specific sound vibration dat helps our mind to vibrate at a certain frequency.And when dat frequency is aligned with the frequency of object,the essence of dat object is revealed.
That object can be anything, even the universe and that's how the cosmos is revealed to you.
Modern scientists has just started discovering these theories of sound vibrations and their impact which our ancient sages understood 10000 years ago.
Our Vedic Rishis also invented Yoga that can enrich the humans to live in harmony with the cosmos.
Recent Scientific experiments show that the chanting of Mantras with all their originality(Sanskrit) increased brain cells in cognitive areas of brain.
Well the impact of Mantras is far bigger than that but atleast the modern scientists have started to look that way. So,next time when you chant Mantras, chant with full faith & proper pronunciation & it will manifest into your life.

AGAMA SHASTRA:THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE MARVELS OF HINDU ARCHITECTURE

Agama Shastra is a Sanskrit word that means the manual for worship, temple building, rituals etc in Hindu Tradition.From Sanskrit,agama means handed down by tradition and Shastra means a commentary or treatise.


Therefore, Agama Shastra is a collection of ideas that drafts the rules for worship, temple construction, spirituality and rituals. It has been a guideline for many Hindus from ancient times. It's a collection of Sanskrit, Tamil and Grantha scriptures that mostly contains...


...methods of temple construction, idol creation, philosophical doctrines and meditative practices. It came into being after years of assimiliation and from a variety of sources. Some parts of it are pre-vedic while some are post-vedic.


Hindu Temples are not just temples, they are the pride and identity of Hindus. They are the symbols of Hindu unity and their religious aspirations. Temples are the places of spiritual healing and are our connection with the creator almighty.


Temples are the priceless treasure of our History, Heritage ,Art & Architecture. Architecture that mesmerises and spell bounds you. And Agama Shastra is that very text which is responsible for such a mesmerising and spell binding quality and beauty of our Hindu Temples.

🌺श्री गरुड़ पुराण - संक्षिप्त वर्णन🌺

हिन्दु धर्म के 18 पुराणों में से एक गरुड़ पुराण का हिन्दु धर्म में बड़ा महत्व है। गरुड़ पुराण में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गती की व्याख्या मिलती है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु हैं, इसलिए ये वैष्णव पुराण है।


गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन-काल में तो मिलता ही है परंतु मृत्यु के बाद भी अच्छे बुरे कार्यों का उनके अनुसार फल मिलता है। इस कारण इस पुराण में निहित ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का समय निर्धारित किया गया है...

..ताकि उस समय हम जीवन-मरण से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सकें और मृत्यु के कारण बिछडने वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके।
गरुड़ पुराण में विष्णु की भक्ति व अवतारों का विस्तार से उसी प्रकार वर्णन मिलता है जिस प्रकार भगवत पुराण में।आरम्भ में मनु से सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति,ध्रुव चरित्र की कथा मिलती है।


तदुपरांत सुर्य व चंद्र ग्रहों के मंत्र, शिव-पार्वती मंत्र,इन्द्र सम्बंधित मंत्र,सरस्वती मंत्र और नौ शक्तियों के बारे में विस्तार से बताया गया है।
इस पुराण में उन्नीस हज़ार श्लोक बताए जाते हैं और इसे दो भागों में कहा जाता है।
प्रथम भाग में विष्णुभक्ति और पूजा विधियों का उल्लेख है।

मृत्यु के उपरांत गरुड़ पुराण के श्रवण का प्रावधान है ।
पुराण के द्वितीय भाग में 'प्रेतकल्प' का विस्तार से वर्णन और नरकों में जीव के पड़ने का वृत्तांत मिलता है। मरने के बाद मनुष्य की क्या गति होती है, उसका किस प्रकार की योनियों में जन्म होता है, प्रेत योनि से मुक्ति के उपाय...

Did you know?
Ahilyabai Holkar was one of India's
greatest women rulers of all time.

Ahilyabai was Born on May 31,1725 in the village of Chondi,Jamkhed distt,Maharashtra to a man named Mankoji Shinde,who was the Patil(Chief) of a village and a member of proud Dhangar Community.


Despite the fact that girls' education was a farther dream in those days, Ahilyabai was homeschooled by her father.
Ahilya didn't belong to any royal family but in a twist of fate she is still remembered as one of the most revered Queen in the history.


While they were living their humdrum lives, one day Malhar Rao Holkar, commander of the Peshwa Bajirao & Lord of the Malwa stopped in Chondi on his way to Pune, where he couldn't help but notice a young 8yrs old Ahilyabai in the temple service feeding the poor & hungry.

He was so impressed by the sheer innocence&beauty with simplicity character of Ahilyabai dat he asked her hand in marriage for his son Khanderao Holkar.Just like that she got married to Khanderao in 1733 at a tender age of 8&became a bride of esteemed Maratha community of Holkars

But destiny had something else in store for her as her husband died in the Battle of Kumbher in 1754 leaving her widow at 29.Distressed Ahilyabai was to commit Sati when her father-in-law Malhar Rao refused to let it happen.

Nellaiappar Temple in Tirunelveli is a place of religious significance. It is a place of spiritual significance. It finds mention in our puranas and many literary books, especially the Tevarams. It’s gopurams and musical pillars are a work of beautiful art.


Musical magnificence of Nellaiappar Temple in Tirunelveli
• This 7th century Musical Pillar produces musical notes when tapped. Indeed a wonder of ancient architecture.

• The majestic Nellaiappar Temple itself is a masterpiece in terms of architecture.


The entire city is synonymous with this temple that is steeped in so many rich legends and stories.

I am talking about the Nellaiappar temple, a living example of beautiful Dravidian architecture that was built by the early Pandyas in the 7th century.


Located on the northern banks of the Thamirabharani river, the Nellaiappar temple is dedicated to Bhagwan Shiv and his consort goddess Parvati. Bhagwan Shiv is worshipped as Nellaiappar or Venuvananathar and Goddess Parvati is worshipped as Kantimathi Amman.


But, its main feature is that it is one of the Pancha Sabhai Sthalangal or one of the 5 places where Bhagwan Shiv is believed to have performed his cosmic dance (Tandava dance). The Nellaiappar temple is the Thamirachabai (copper hall) based on the dance pose of Nataraja.

Gadisar Lake was built as a reservoir in around 12th-13th AD by the then ruler Raja Rawal Jaisal. He belonged to one of the bluest among the royal blood of Rajasthan and was the first king of the state and city of Jaisalmer.

#DekhoApnaDesh


It can be easily assumed that the lake was dug up to make up for the aridity of the region.

Because of a specific gradient of the land there, the area where the lake stands automatically was able to gather and retain some rainwater, whatever little it was there.


In time, the lake became the life-saving source of water in Jaisalmer, acting as a reservoir and water conservation system. It was successful in fighting the water scarcity to a great extent.


For this reason, many people believe it was a natural oasis in the middle of Indian Thar desert, but it is very much a manmade one.

The pristine lake got its name from its renovator Maharawal Gadsi Singh who revamped the whole area in 1400 AD.


It is said that the additional chhatris and a couple of shrines were his addition to the simple body of water. The lake was later named after him and got called Gadsisar Lake or Gadisar Lake.

Missing from the 'great replacement' argument is the simple fact that population churn is one of the leading factors for creating a broken, consumption addicted population.

People live normal, well rounded lives when they belong to a healthy functional extended family and community. Children instinctually get a healthy identity, and people feel a purpose and reason for existing.

When this balance is upset, people withdraw to comfort: watching tv, streaming, consuming. They lose contact with the outside world in a physical, social and spiritual sense.

Parents who spend 18 years diligently shielding their kids from the rotten broader culture won't even blink about sending those kids off to a far away university. Those kids will be removed from a source of strength at just about the worst possible time.

The loss of a rooted nature begets a whole host of broken social afflictions. Kids and young people look for a reason for existence, or identity, usually leading to listless and broken people online. Groomers have an ample supply of lost wandering kids.

So, I want to talk about how sexual harassment and fair pay are linked at Google (and beyond), because I think that's an angle that isn't being highlighted enough in the coverage of these walk-outs. I'm going to frame it largely around my personal experience there. Thread.

When I was sexually harassed by the director of the area I was working in, I was afraid to report it because I was worried that "getting him in trouble" would result in the subtle retaliation of missed leadership opportunities.

I wanted to continue working on the team I was on, because I'd gained a lot of very deep knowledge and expertise in that area, as well as reputation and camaraderie with the other folks working in that area. I didn't want to make the situation more "difficult."

To get promoted at Google, several need to happen: 1. you need opportunities for ownership and leadership above your current level (basically, opportunities to show you're working at the next level you're trying to get promoted to). The work you're "assigned" has a big impact.

2. You need glowing reviews from peers, *at or particularly above the level you're hoping to get promoted to.* Basically, you need people a lot more senior than you to say you're doing awesome work.

💥💥💥Situation Update, Dec. 3rd – Trump invokes foreign interference provision of his 2018 executive order, authorizing military response to cyber warfare, see NSPM 13 💥💥💥 [M.Adams]


⁉️ ✅ Ask yourself this question: What was the purpose of yesterday’s White House speech about election fraud and vote-rigging?

✅ If you think it was all about Trump communicating to the people, think again. This speech was really about Trump communicating with Chris Miller

✅ and the DoD about foreign interference in the U.S. election while laying out the key national security justifications that are necessary to invoke what I’m calling the “national security option” for defending the United States against an attempted cyber warfare coup.

⭕️ Decoding President Trump’s Dec. 2nd speech:
https://t.co/G9kmUfVQzS

🇺🇸Consider what Trump said in yesterday’s speech. About 95% of this speech was filler. Only 5% really matters, as I detail below:

1. First, he lays out that he has a sworn oath to defend the United States

2. Constitution against the wartime “siege” that’s underway:

As President, I have no higher duty than to defend the laws and the constitution of the United States. That is why I am determined to protect our election system, which is now under coordinated assault and siege.

The first area to focus on is diversity. This has become a dogma in the tech world, and despite the fact that tech is one of the most meritocratic industries in the world, there are constant efforts to promote diversity at the expense of fairness, merit and competency. Examples:

USC's Interactive Media & Games Division cancels all-star panel that included top-tier game developers who were invited to share their experiences with students. Why? Because there were no women on the

ElectronConf is a conf which chooses presenters based on blind auditions; the identity, gender, and race of the speaker is not known to the selection team. The results of that merit-based approach was an all-male panel. So they cancelled the conference.

Apple's head of diversity (a black woman) got in trouble for promoting a vision of diversity that is at odds with contemporary progressive dogma. (She left the company shortly after this

Also in the name of diversity, there is unabashed discrimination against men (especially white men) in tech, in both hiring policies and in other arenas. One such example is this, a developer workshop that specifically excluded men: https://t.co/N0SkH4hR35
