Why Do We Chant ‘Shanti’ Three Times?

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय ।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।
मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय ॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

(Meaning: Om, lead me from unreal (transitory material existence) to the real (Eternal Self),

From darkness (of ignorance) to light (of wisdom, truth, spiritual knowledge),
From the fear of death to the knowledge of immortality.
Om Peace, peace, peace!

If you attend any Hindu religious ritual, a Vedic prayer or a traditional Yoga class,

you will find that the Shanti mantra (the peace chant) is usually chanted at the end of the ceremony or the class.

(from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28)
As you will notice, the concluding line is the chanting of the word Shanti (peace) three times.

The question that sometimes gets asked is – why is shanti chanted three times? Is there a significance to it?

Here is a brief explanation as to why we chant shanti three times.

Our ancient scriptures tell us that one of the main objectives of life is to remove three kinds of

obstacles or to eliminate three kinds of suffering.

In the Samkhya Pravachana Sutram, the very first sutra states:

"अथ त्रिविधदुःखात्यन्त निवृत्तिः अत्यन्त पुरुषार्थः" (1.1)

“Permanent and complete elimination of the three-fold suffering is the supreme purpose of life".

#Thread SAPTARISHIS

The term ‘Saptarishi’ or Saptarshi (Sanskrit सप्तर्षि) refers to the “seven sages” or ‘Seven Rishis’ of Sanatan Dharm

Due to their yogic powers and powers of penance, they are said to have attained semi immortal status, they have an extremely long life span.

The Saptarishis (seven sages) are the seven Mind Born sons (Manasa Putra) of Brahma – The creator of universe. They live for a period of time known as a Manvantara (age of a Manu )

Each manvantara lasts for 306,720,000 years (852,000 divine years)

1 divine year = 360 solar years
852000 x 360 = 306,720,000 years = 1 Manvantara
and repeats 71 Yuga Cycles (world ages)

Each kalpa has 14 manvantaras, at the end of each Kalp there is a period of destruction (प्रलय,Pralay) which is led by Bhagwan Shiva

and after that it lies in a state of rest called the 'Night of Brahma'. After that Brahma starts his cycle of creation all over again and the newly appointed Sapta Rishis are given to the earth
The Cycle of Creation and destruction works forever like this.

The Saptarshi of the Current Manvantara, according to “Brihadaranyaka Upanishad”, are 👇🏼

• Atri
• Vashishta
• Kashyap
• Gautama
• Bharadwaja
• Vishwamitra
and Jamadagni.

The decedents of these seven sages are stated to be gotras.

हिंदू धर्म में मृत्यु के पश्चात क्यूँ करते हैं अंतिम संस्कार (शव-दाह) !

मृत्यु जीवन का अंतिम सत्य है जिसे कोई टाल नहीं सकता। भगवान श्रीकृष्ण ने गीता में कहा है कि जिसने जन्म लिया है उसकी मृत्यु निश्चित है और जिसकी मृत्यु हो गई है उसका जन्म भी निश्चित है।
.

इस कथन से ज्ञात होता है कि जीवन और मृत्यु एक चक्र है जिससे होकर सभी देहधारियों को गुजरना होता है। मृत्यु से जीवन का नया आरंभ होता है इसलिए जीवात्मा का सफर सुखद हो और उसे अगले जन्म में उत्तम शरीर मिले इस कामना से अंतिम संस्कार नियम का पालन जरूरी बताया गया है।

हिन्दू धर्म में गर्भधारण से लेकर मृत्यु के बाद तक कुल सोलह संस्कार बताए गए हैं। सोलहवें संस्कार को अंतिम संस्कार और दाह संस्कार के नाम से जाना जाता है।

इसमें मृत व्यक्ति के शरीर को स्नान कराकर शुद्ध किया जाता है। इसके बाद वैदिक मंत्रों से साथ शव की पूजा की जाती है

फिर बाद में मृतक व्यक्ति का ज्येष्ठ पुत्र अथवा कोई निकट संबंधी मुखाग्नि देता है।

शास्त्रों के अनुसार परिवार के सदस्यों के हाथों से मुखाग्नि मिलने से मृत व्यक्ति की आत्मा का मोह अपने परिवार के सदस्यों से खत्म होता है। और वह कर्म के अनुसार बंधन से मुक्त होकर

अगले शरीर को पाने के लिए बढ़ जाता है

दाह संस्कार इसलिए जरूरी होता है शास्त्रों में बताया गया है शरीर की रचना पंच तत्व से होती है ये पंच तत्व हैं पृथ्वी, जल, अग्नि, वायु और आकाश।

शव का दाह करने से शरीर जल कर पुन: पंचतत्व में विलीन हो जाता है।

ऋषि, मुनि, महर्षि, साधु और संत में क्या अंतर होता है?

भारत में प्राचीन काल से ही ऋषि-मुनियों का विशेष महत्व रहा है।आज से सैकड़ों साल पहले 'ऋषि', 'मुनि', 'महर्षि' और 'ब्रह्मर्षि' समाज के पथ प्रदर्शक माने जाते थे. तब यही लोग अपने ज्ञान और तप के बल पर समाज कल्याण का कार्य किया

करते थे और लोगों को समस्याओं से मुक्ति दिलाते थे। आज के समय में हमें कई तीर्थ स्थलों, मंदिरों, जंगलों और पहाड़ों में साधु-संत देखने को मिल जाते हैं. लेकिन वे ऋषि-मुनियों की तरह इतने ज्ञानी नहीं होते.

आइए जानते हैं ऋषि, मुनि, महर्षि, साधु और संत में क्या अंतर है

ऋषि :~

ऋषि शब्द की व्युत्पत्ति 'ऋष' है जिसका अर्थ 'देखना' या 'दर्शन शक्ति' होता है।

ऋषि अर्थात "दृष्टा" भारतीय परंपरा में श्रुति ग्रंथों को दर्शन करने (यानि यथावत समझ पाने) वाले जनों को कहा जाता है। वे व्यक्ति विशिष्ट जिन्होंने अपनी विलक्षण एकाग्रता के बल पर गहन ध्यान में

विलक्षण शब्दों के दर्शन किये उनके गूढ़ अर्थों को जाना व मानव अथवा प्राणी मात्र के कल्याण के लिये ध्यान में देखे गए शब्दों को लिखकर प्रकट किया। इसीलिये कहा गया -

“ऋषयो मन्त्र द्रष्टारः न तु कर्तारः।”

अर्थात् ऋषि तो मंत्र के देखनेवाले हैं नकि बनानेवाले

अर्थात् बनानेवाला तो केवल एक परमात्मा ही है

मुनि :~

मुनि वह है जो मनन करे, भगवद्गीता में कहा है कि जिनका चित्त दु:ख से उद्विग्न नहीं होता, जो सुख की इच्छा नहीं करते और जो राग, भय और क्रोध से रहित हैं, ऐसे निश्चल बुद्धिवाले मुनि कहे जाते हैं। वैदिक ऋषि जंगल के कंदमूल खाकर जीवन

RUDRAKSH🙏🏻🔱

The Rig Veda states -
“Rukha Dravyati Iti Rudra.”

‘Rukha’means ‘misery’and ‘Dravyati’ means to ‘eradicate.’
Rudra is the one who eradicates misery.

In other words, Rudra transforms tears of sorrow into tears of bliss which is represented by the Rudraksha.

In the Svetasvatara Upanishad, the supreme consciousness (Brahman) is identified with Rudra.

He is not just the destroyer, but the Supreme Being himself. ‘Rud’ means “to cry” and ‘Ra’ is the ‘light,’ the divine consciousness, pervading the whole cosmos.

and aksh (अक्ष) means 'teardrops'
When any being experiences divinity, the floodgates of the eyes open, leading to tears of joy. Rudra is that consciousness that brings tears of love, bliss, and gratitude.

As per the legend, this was found to be true even in the case of the “Ishwar”,himself.

This leads us to the origin of Rudraksha, which means “the tears of Rudra”,

According to Sanskrit dictionaries "Rudraksha" is a Sanskrit compound word consisting of Rudra (Sanskrit: रुद्र) and aksh (Sanskrit: अक्ष). Rudra is one of Shiva's Vedic names and aksh (Sanskrit: अक्ष) as An Eye

accordingly,Rudraksha may be interpreted as meaning "eye of Rudra".

Here is the detailed information of about strategy,

Entry time : 9.30 - 10
Exit : Upto you

Strategy :
Sell weekly ATM CE & PE at almost equal price
For ex : Sell Nifty 17250 CE at 50 and Nifty 17250 PE at 48 so it will become short straddle

Buy monthly ATM or near ATM CE & PE at matching price (5-10 points diff should be fine) as hedge
For ex : Buy Nifty 17250 CE at 150 and Nifty 17300 PE at 155 so it will become long straddle.

Weekly Short straddle + Monthly Long straddle

Adjustment:

• If you feel slightly bullish/bearish then no adjustment needed
• If Nifty moves 50 up or down and sustain then just simply roll up or down half of qnty and keep rest of the quantity. If market goes up or down further then roll up or down rest.

• If Nifty moves one side or about to breach BEP then add equal amount of lot. This can balance tested side. For ex: If I bought 17300 CE 4 lot as hedge then add 4 lot so you will have only one side risk . Note: Remember to keep SL at cost price (only for additional lot bought)

Capital requirement:
2.2 L for 4 lot
Adjustment requires additional capital upto 1L

Note : High risk high reward strategy, please don’t execute until you fully understand. Kindly do paper trading or backtest.
RR : 1:1
POP : 45-55%

How to Get Rich (without getting lucky):

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.

Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.

You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.

Ｇａｕ Ｍａｔａ Ｉｎ Ｖｅｄｉｃ
Ｃｕｌｔｕｒｅ

It is said that the one who bears the dust thrown from the hoof of Gaumata on his head, as if taking a bath in the water of the teerth sthalam and getting rid of all sins.

Ved and all other Hindu scriptures venerate the cow. The Vedic dictionary, Nighantu, gives amongst other synonyms of 'Gau' [ or cow] the words 'Aghnya', 'Ahi', and 'Aditi'.

Yaska the vedic decoder and commentator on Nighantu, defines these as-

Aghnya —— the one that ought not to be killed
Ahi —— the one that must not be slaughtered.
Aditi —— the one that ought not to be cut into pieces.

These three names of cow signify that this is an animal which should not to be put to tortures. These words appear frequently throughout the Veda in context of the cow.

But in due course the falsehood of killing cows spread far and wide and they became even more deep rooted when western scholars with their half baked knowledge of Sanskrit transliterated these interpretations of commentaries of Sayanacharya ,
