🌼Story of understanding the untold🌼

After discovering Sitamata, Hanuman and his army were travelling to Kishkinda. Madhuvana, Sugriva's private garden came in between. The complete garden was filled with beehives and several juicy fruits.

This was very well guarded by a monkey called Dadimukha. Dadhimukha was sitting in front of this garden at 4 doors. Only Sugriva was allowed in.

So the monkeys while returning, wanted some fun in Madhuvana and enjoy honey there. They expressed this to Hanuman.

Hanuman wasn't for this idea as it would indicate to Sugriva their victory.

But Jambavan and the other monkeys wanted to enjoy after so much hard work. So they entered Madhuvana.

All the monkeys started drinking honey and polishing off the juicy fruits in the garden.

Dadimukha immediately ran to Sugriva and complained that his uncle Jambavan and defence minister Hanuman both were useless. They have entered Madhuvana and are destroying all the fruits.

Not only that when Dadimukha tried to prevent them, they all attacked him and other guards.

Bhagwan Rama, Lakshman and Sugriva were all together in this hall.
Lakshman got annoyed and asked Sugriva about this.

Sugriva patiently responded by saying Dadimukha is complaining about Angad and his army of monkeys along with Jambavan.

#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.

Is Cholesterol actually a villain?

This thread is for education purposes and doesn't give any medical advice.

Cholesterol is present in every cell of the body & has imp natural functions when it comes to digesting foods, producing hormones,& generating vitamin D.

The body produces it, but people also consume it in food.

In fact, cholesterol production is so important that your liver & intestines make about 80% of the cholesterol you need to stay healthy. Only about 20% comes from the foods you eat.

So why does body produce excess cholesterol to give such high numbers?

1. Constipation

The main way our body gets rid of excess cholesterol is through our bowel movements. The liver pumps excess cholesterol that is not needed into the bile, which is stored in the gallbladder.

If there is not much fiber in our diet, we don’t drink enough water and are constipated, cholesterol in bile can get reabsorbed back into our bloodstream and we end up with high cholesterol levels.  

2. Genetics
3. Syndrome X (Pre - diabetes)
4. Hypothyroidism

5. Stress

The hormone cortisol is also released in response to stress.  Chronically elevated levels of cortisol are related to high cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, abdominal obesity and glucose intolerance. 

6. Inactivity/Lack of Exercises

#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.

WEAPONS OF MAHADEV

Sarvaripati Shiva is one of the most fearsome manifestations of Mahadev. Assigned with destroying all of the universes at the end of time, Shiva is one of the most fearsome warriors. He is the Mrityunjaya.
Here are some weapons associated with him:

TRISHULA: the 3 pointed blades denote creation, maintenance, and destruction or the 3 Kalas – Past, Present and Future. They also represent 3 Gunas – Sattva, Rajas and Tamas).
Shiva’s trishul can only be stopped by Shiva himself.
@onlyonenetra @DetheEsha

Trishul is also said to represent Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. These are the three basic nadis – the left, the right and the central – in the pranamaya kosha, or the energy body of the human system.
@iamkamyabuch @unever_followme

PARASHU: axe with 4 cutting edges which Shiva gave to Parashurama. In his anger, Parashurama used the parashu to get rid of the all the Earth’s tyrannical kshatriya caste twenty-one times over.
@harshasherni

CHANDRAHASA SWORD: The divine sword Chandrahasa literally means ‘the laughter of the moon’. Ravana gave this sword to Indrajit on different occasions especially to fight against Devas.
GIRISH: A special sword of Shiva with unique characteristics.

MEENAKSHI AMMAN, MADURAI (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

A paadal Petra sthalam where Shiva took the form of Sundareswarar (the handsome one) and married Devi Parvati (Meenakshi).
Devi is also known by the name Angayarkanni (mother with the beautiful fish eyes).
@GunduHuDuGa

Devi Meenakshi emerged from yagna fire as a 3 year old girl when Pandyan King Malayadwaja and Kanchanamalai were praying for a child.
It is said that Devi was born with three breasts and there was a prophesy that her superfluous breast would melt away when she met her husband.

Devi ruled over Madurai and captured Indralok. She went on to capture Kailasha. When she saw Shiva, her 3rd breast disappeared and she realised that Shiva would be her consort.
The divine marriage was attended by all Devas and Sri Vishnu (as her brother) gave her hand to Shiva.

It is said that Indra found a swayambhu lingam at Kadamba Vanam. He placed it in Madurai where the kshetram stands. Here, Shiva is seen on the vehicle of Indra.
The Golden Lotus Tank is said to be the place where a golden lotus blossomed for the puja performed by Indra.

The Meenakshi Thirukalyanam festival is celebrated in the Chithirai month to mark the divine marriage of Meenakshi Amman. The festival includes a procession where Meenakshi and Sundareshwara travel in a chariot and Sri Vishnu gives away his sister in marriage to Shiva.

RISHI PINGALA:THE ANCIENT INDIAN SAGE DISCREDITED FOR HIS MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO MATHEMATICS & PHI

Have you ever heard about,"The Golden Ratio"?
The Golden Ratio or Phi(Greek) is a mathematical ratio of nature. Mother Nature is the most exquisite artist in herself.

&Its this Phi she uses to create all the beauty in World.
If anyone uses this ratio correctly in their art,it can turn into a spell-binding piece of work.Such is the significance of'Phi'.But my thread isn't about it.Its about somethin called'Fibonacci Series'&who actually made it

Phi is related to Fibonacci series(0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...)
&this series is responsible for everything dat is beautiful on this planet. Just try to calculate the ratio of any 2 successive numbers ÷ each of them by the number before it in above infinite series.

E.g. 3/2=1.5, 5/3=1.666, 8/5=1.6, 34/21=1.61904 and so on. Did you notice something? The ratio is coming almost same every time. This ratio is called 'Phi 'which is numerically represented as 1:1.618. This Golden Spiral is made in exact proportion of 1:1.618.

The thing I want to emphasize here is that we always find only those things appealing and attractive that have Phi. It's in our subconscious. Isn't it some revelation? We are the part of this Divine proportion of the God or the Mother Nature. Check these:
