HOW MAHABHARAT BOOK WAS CREATED AND ITS ORIGIN

#MahabharatSeries

Once upon a time in Naimisharanya, many Sages were sitting and doing Tapasya. That time Sage Ugrashrava(Son of Lomharshan) happened to come there, He was a scholar of Purans and also a Kathavachak.

 Everybody was overjoyed and wanted to hear from him. All Munis welcomed him and asked from where did this lucky feet of yours is coming from?

Ugrashrava ji replied that he was coming from the place where Ved Vyas had narrated Mahabharat granth systematically.
All Munis requested that they too wanted to hear this Mahabharat where Deep meaning of Vedas were mentioned.

Ugrashrava ji said "Mahabharat Shlokas is there with combination of Laukik-Vedic Sanskrit."

After the creation of Mahabharat Ved Vyas thought in his mind as to
how should this creation made public and in what manner should my disciples study this Mahabharat and how to make this book reach to public. Hence Brahma ji decided to meet Ved Vyas to clarify his doubts. Ved Vyas then welcomed Brahma ji and said that "I have created a sacred
Mahakavya where deep meaning of Vedas is mentioned and Upanishads are explained in detail.
Brahma ji replied that since you have called your creation as Kavya hence in future it will be famous as Kavya. Brahma ji requested Vyas ji to write this Mahabharat by invoking Ganeshji.
Ganesh ji then accepted Ved Vyas's prayer and appeared. Ganesh ji said " While writing Mahabharat there shouldn't be any stoppage for even a second then only I can become the writer of this book."
Vyas ji replied to Ganesh ji "Without understanding dont even write a single letter". Ganesh ji then accepted and said ॐ. Vyas ji then started tying knots of book out of curiosity. He was narrating such shlokas that it's meaning was looking different fron outside and
different from inside. He said there are so many shlokas which are very difficult to understand its hidden meaning. Many times Ganesh ji had to stop for a second to understand the shlokas
He said Mahabharat is seed of a Tree.

◆Poulom parv is its Museum
◆Aastik parv is its root
◆Samba parv are its detailed shoulders.
◆Sabha and Aranya parv are its place where Birds live
◆Arni parv is like glandular knots.
◆Virat and Udyog parv is its essence.
◆Karna parv is its white flowers and Shalya parv is its fragrance.
◆Stree parv and Aaeshik parv are its shadows.
◆Shanti parv is it's fruit.
Ashwamedh parv is its Amrut rass
◆Aashram-Vaasik parva is the place where we can take shelter and sit.
◆Mausal parva is Last part of Shruti form Branches.

After fulfilling his promise to mother Satyavati for the 3 children, Ved Vyas left for his Hermitage when these 3 sons grew old and left this mrityu lok that time Vyas ji started preaching Mahabharat to the world.
Ved Vyas ji first narrated this kavya to Shuk dev ji(His son).
Among his Listeners were Parikshit Son Janmejaya and thousands of Brahmins. Sage Vyas's disciples Vaishampayan was also one of the listeners. Whenever the Yajmans would get free time after the Yagya,
They would request Vaishampayan to narrate Mahabharat. Its actually 1,00,000 Shlokas represent the whole of Bharat.

Out of the total Shlokas written by Vyas ji 30,00,000 Shlokas are revered in Dev Lok,
◆15,00,000 in Pitra lok ◆14,00,000 in Gandhava lok,
◆In Manushya lok only 1,00,000 Shlokas are known. Devrashi Narad narrted Mahabharat in Dev Lok, Asit Deval in Pitra Lok, Shuk Dev in Gandharva, Yaksha and Rakshchas Lok, and in Manushya lok it was Vaishampayan ji.
The introduction of Kuru vansh
and a short history of all events ends in Dritrashtra repenting and expressing his thoughts to Sanjay.

LIST OF GOOD OMEN(शकुन) & BAD OMEN(अपशकुन)

While setting on a journey seeing a white cloth, clear sky, fruit laden tree,field full of crops, clear water, and black grains is a bad omen. While going to fight a war the following things prove to be a bad Omen- cotton,


cowdung mixed with grass twigs, house, wealth, fire, naked sadhu with oil over his body, marsh, leather,hair, insane person, eunuch, pregnant lady, widow, death, ash, skull, bones and broken vessel. A weird sound of eagle is not a good omen.

If you hear the words " go away" from front , then it is a good omen but hearing it from back is ashubh. The single word 'go' when heard from back is good but when heard from front is bad. "Wait, do not go, it is fruitless to go there, when you hear this,

then be sure that something evil may happen. It is a pointer to your impending death if you see a vulture sitting atop a flag, a elephant or a horse falling, head injury and torn clothes. During such times worship Shri Vishnu.

If you see the same signs second time, it is better to return home.

While travelling, seeing a white flower is a good omen and even a pot filled with water is a good omen. Amongst good omens are meat, fish, distant sound of birds, lighted fire, gold, silver, sword, sheep, cow,

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.

Did you know?

When Saudi Arabia's King visited India in 1955, PM Nehru ordered all the Hindu Temples and Idols of Hindu Deities that came in Saudi King's way to be covered up.
Our temples are the architectural marvels in their own league.


Each of our temples tells the story of our rich history and cultural heritage. Was Nehru that ashamed of his own nation's heritage that he had to cover them up or there was some other reason? The answer would be best known to him only.

PM Nehru invited the then Saudi King Saud bin Abdul Aziz to India who accepted the invitation and planned a 17 day long official visit to India in 1955. Saudi King had brought a large delegation with him and he had to visit various Indian cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Agra,


Aligarh, Shimla, Mysore and Varanasi. However, when Saudi King reached Varanasi, Nehru ordered to cover all the temples and Idols with curtains that came in the way of the Royal Convoy. During his stay in Varanasi, Govt buildings were painted with the words "Kalma Tayyiba".


'Kalma Tayyiba' means 'There is not God but only Allah and Mohammed is his messenger'. In addition to it, Pooja and Aartis were also stopped at temples. I can call it the appeasement politics of the highest order and Nehru was indeed the greatest appeaser of all times.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has sold more than 40 million copies.

Don't have time to read it?
—No worries.

Here are the 7 key lessons you should apply:


Habit #1 — BE PROACTIVE

It all starts with action.

Rather than being "reactive" (externally influenced).
Focus on being "proactive" (initiative-taking).

This puts you in firm control of your life.


Habit #2 — BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

"No wind is favorable if one does not know to which port one is sailing."

I use this goal-setting system to stay on track myself:

Who do I want to be --> Monthly goal to achieve it? --> Daily action to reach that goal?

I update weekly.


Habit #3 — FIRST THINGS FIRST

Knowing the work that moves the needle is half the battle.

The Eisenhower Matrix can come in handy here:

Urgent + Important - Do it
Important + Not urgent - Schedule it
Urgent + Not important - Delegate it
Not urgent + Not important - Delete it


Habit #4 — THINK WIN-WIN

Always strive to find a mutually beneficial solution.

How to:
- Be as objective as possible
- Try to see from their perspective
- Determine what a "win" truly means for both parties
- Work to find the best solution for both parties

1/ Productivity tip: when I keep procrastinating on something I often trick myself by saying, "ok just work on it for the next 20 minutes" or some short period of time, "and then you can chill/relax guilt free" and give myself some treat (sugar, netflix, etc)

2/ Usually at the 20 minute mark (sometimes I set a timer) I'm so engrossed in what I'm doing that I don't want want to stop and end up working on it for the next hour or two. But getting started seems to be the hardest part.

3/ Key to this: you have to actually be ok with stopping after 20 minutes and being guilt free if that's how you feel. So it's not a trick, i have the option every time, I just often don't want to use it once i'm in the zone.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x


PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

https://t.co/w7oNG5KUkJ


The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.

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.
