Importance of Lotus in Hinduism 🌷

In Hindu spiritual contemplation the lotus has a special place. It is not only considered pure and beautiful, but also a symbol of goodwill, peace, prosperity and happiness. @GunduHuDuGa @chittukuruvi4

Cont👇

It helps get rid of unpleasant things and is referred to as the king of flowers.

According to the Puranas, it is said that a lotus emerged from the navel of Lord Vishnu. Brahma was seated on the lotus. Thereafter, he proceeded to create mankind. @nsbchd @khanna248

Cont 👇

Brahma, Saraswait, Lakshmi and other Gods and Goddesses have used the lotus as a seat. When it was important to them, could it be any less to others?The symbol of Lakshmi and prosperity, it is customary to offer the lotus in prayer to several Gods. @AnkitaBnsl @sadhavi

Cont👇

In many instances, the number of flowers to be offered is also mentioned as a condition for conducting certain yagyas and ceremonies. The lotus grows in mud and water, yet it is untouched or affected by either of them. @ShwetaA06735841 @NandiniVenkate3 @BaluSreevidya

Cont👇

This quality motivates one to live a life and is symbolic of the fact that undesirable elements can be refined and converted into superior and useful items. The blossoming of the lotus is considered auspicious and blesed. @MuraliAthreya @sridhariyer5 @swamy64

Sita Ramachandraswamy Mandir, Bhadrachalam, Telangana

Bhadrachalam mandir is the abode of Shri Sita Ramachandra Swamy. This mandir is in honor of Prabhu Shri Rama. This mandir is on the banks of the Godavari river. 1/n

It also relates to the life events of Sage Kancharla Gopanna, who was a great devotee of Prabhu Rama.
According to the history of Bhadrachalam mandir Gopanna the Tahasildar of Bhadrachalam (second half of 17th century), used money from government treasury to build this mandir 2/n

and hence faced imprisonment in a dungeon at Golconda. Prabhu Rama miraculously gave the Sultan the money spent by Gopanna, after which he released him.Gopanna then became Bhadrachala Ramadasa and went on to compose innumerable songs in praise of Rama. 3/n

Ramadasa heard the news that the villagers of palvoncha paragana were proceeding to witness Jatara at Bhadrachalam. He found the deities in an amazing appearance; and Ramadas then asked the villagers to contribute liberally for the construction of mandir. 4/n

So, the villagers appealed to him to spend the revenue collections for the construction of mandir with a promise to repay the amount after harvesting the crops.The Golconda king Tanishah realized the devotional spirit of Ramadas. 5/n

The p@stor slowly began to study the house and he learned that the boy's grandmother was the most influential person in the house. So he thought 'Corrupting the grandmother's mind can make the whole family Xtian as well as the whole village.

Cont 👇

The p@stor began to tell Grandma the stories of how J€$u$ cured leprosy of lepers, how He gave sight to the blind, etc..But after listening to him, the strong Sanatani grandmother said. A stone turned into a living woman (Ahalya) for our Rama when he touched the stone.

Cont 👇

She spoke of Rama setu where stones floated in sea just by writing his name on the stones and that they are still floating today.
The p@stor continued his efforts but all his tricks went in vain.

Cont 👇

One day he had brought a cake from the church and he thought of offering it to grandmother but he was doubtful that she would eat it. But contrary to his expectation, she took the cake and ate it.

महात्मा की खाल ओढ़े ऐक भेड़िये का सच!!

मनु बेन के आइने में गांधी:

मनु बेन महात्मा गाँधी के अंतिम वर्षों की निकट सहयोगी थीं। मनु को प्रायः गाँधीजी की पौत्री कहा जाता है। वास्तव में यह रिश्ता बहुत दूर का था। वह गाँधीजी के चाचा की प्रपौत्री थी।

👇👇

लगभग अशिक्षित, सोलह-सत्रह वर्ष की लड़की, जिस के पिता जयसुखलाल गाँधी एक लाचार से साधारण व्यक्ति थे। उसी मनु को लेकर गाँधी के ‘ब्रह्मचर्य प्रयोग’ न केवल गाँधी के जीवन के अंतिम प्रयोग हैं, बल्कि सर्वाधिक विवादास्पद भी।

👇👇

गाँधी की जिद और उन के परिवार व निकट सहयोगियों के विरोध का यह दौर 1946-1947 ई. के दौरान कई महीने चला। इस पर गाँधी से उन के पुत्र देवदास तथा सरदार पटेल, किशोरलाल, नरहरि, आदि सहयोगियों ने गाँधी से आंशिक/ पूर्ण संबंध-विच्छेद तक कर लिया था।

👇👇

जिन लोगों ने तीखा विरोध किया उन में ठक्कर बापा, बिनोबा भावे, घनश्याम दास बिड़ला, आदि भी थे। आजादी से पहले एक बार सरदार पटेल ने सार्वजनिक रूप से कहा था कि गांधी जी के ब्रह्मचर्य के ये प्रयोग बन्द कर दिए जाने चाहिए। परन्तु नेहरू ने कभी इन प्रयोगों पर प्रश्न नही उठाया।

👇👇

शायद इसी कारण सरदार पटेल को प्रधानमंत्री नही बन सके। सरदार वल्लभ भाई पटेल ने 25 जनवरी 1947 को गांधी जी को पत्र लिखा था, जिसमें उनके प्रयोग को भयंकर भूल बताते हुए उसे रोकने को कहा था। पटेल ने लिखा था कि ऐसे प्रयोग से उनके अनुयायियों को गहरी पीड़ा होती है।

आजकल लोगों की एक सोच बन गई है कि राजपूतों ने लड़ाई तो की, लेकिन वे एक हारे हुए योद्धा थे, जो कभी अलाउद्दीन से हारे, कभी बाबर से हारे, कभी अकबर से, कभी औरंगज़ेब से। क्या वास्तव में ऐसा ही है ? यहां तक कि राजपूत समाज में भी ऐसे कईं राजपूत हैं...

👇👇

जो महाराणा प्रताप, पृथ्वीराज चौहान आदि योद्धाओं को महान तो कहते हैं, लेकिन उनके मन में ये हारे हुए योद्धा ही हैं।

👇👇

महाराणा प्रताप के बारे में ऐसी पंक्तियाँ गर्व के साथ सुनाई जाती हैं :- “जीत हार की बात न करिए, संघर्षों पर ध्यान करो”, “कुछ लोग जीतकर भी हार जाते हैं, कुछ हारकर भी जीत जाते हैं”।असल बात ये है कि हमें वही इतिहास पढ़ाया जाता है, जिनमें हम हारे हैं।

👇👇

मेवाड़ के राणा सांगा ने अनेक युद्ध लड़े, जिनमें मात्र एक युद्ध में पराजित हुए और आज उसी एक युद्ध के बारे में दुनिया जानती है, उसी युद्ध से राणा सांगा का इतिहास शुरु किया जाता है और उसी पर ख़त्म।

👇👇

राणा सांगा द्वारा लड़े गए खंडार, अहमदनगर, बाड़ी, गागरोन, बयाना, ईडर, खातौली जैसे युद्धों की बात आती है तो शायद हम बता नहीं पाएंगे और अगर बता भी पाए तो उतना नहीं जितना खानवा के बारे में बता सकते हैं।

'Treasure Gods' - Sangha Nidhi' and 'Padma Nidhi', Tirumala, Tirupati.

------------------------------------

These are the two guards guarding the Wealth and Treasure of Lord Sri Venkateswara.

They are representatives of two treasures of Kubera, the God of Wealth.

One guard who is holding shangam (conch) on both the hands is known as Shanka Nidhi ('nidhi' means wealth).

On the other side, the guard who is holding Lotus flowers on both the hands is known as Padma nidhi.

Shangu is from the ocean which includes all types of wealth like pearls and corals.

Why shagam in his hand? Because shangam only gives the sound of 'omkaram'.

'Padmam' is the symbol of water sources in land like river, lakes, tanks etc. which is very important for all living beings.

As per the tradition, these guards are installed at the third entrance of the temple.

One enters the holy shrine after saluting the first protection threshold - Sankha Nidhi and Padma Nidhi.

Guruvayur Sri Krishna & Coconut with Horns.

We’ve all grown up listening to stories of Shri Krishna. This one is a famous story of Shri Krishna in Guruvayur Temple, also called Dakshina Dwaraka.

There lived a villager who planted coconut saplings and had promised that he would offer the 'first coconut' from each of his coconut trees to "Guruvayurappan". When the trees started to yield coconuts, he collected the first coconut from all the trees in a sack 👇

and set forth to Guruvayur.

On the way he was stopped by a robber who asked all the items in the sack. The villager told the robber that the coconuts in the sack belonged to Guruvayurappan and so he was unable to hand it over.
@SriramKannan77 @Jayalko1

The robber with anger asked the villager "Is Guruvaurappan's coconut any different? Does it have horns ?".
Saying so the robber pulled the sack forcefully out of the villager's hand, and coconuts came out..👇

To their astonishment each and every coconut in the sack had horns! Even today, the coconut with horns are displayed in the temple for devotees to see.
