#Thread on #Panchanaan and #Panchavaktra Mahadev!

Mahadev is called 'Panchanaan' and 'Panchavaktra' because of his five faces.
Five faces in the four directions and the fifth in the middle( Sadyojat, Vamdeva, Tatpurush, Aghor and Ishaan) and each has three eyes.

The west-facing face of Mahadev is Sadyojata. This face of Shiv ji symbolizes clean, pure and free as a child.

The north facing direction is Vamdev. Vamadeva means the destroyer of vices.

- The south face is Aghor. Aghor means one who does blasphemous deeds.

The one who performs the condemned karma but by the grace of Mahadeva makes it pure.

East face of Mahadev is known as Tatpurush.That means to be reside in one's Atman.

The name of the upper face is Ishaan. Ishaan means स्वामी।

Out of the five faces of Shiv Shankar, the upper face is of milk-like color, the east face is of Tatpurush yellow color, the south face is of Aghor blue color, the west face is of Sadyojat white color and the north face is of Vamdev Krishna color.

In the Shiva Purana, Lord Shiva says—creation, maintenance, destruction, disappearance and anugrah—these five acts (actions) of mine are held by my five faces.

Mahadev's five distinctive mukhas are his incarnations taken in different kalpas, Sadashiv has many incarnations in

different kalpas (Sadyojat, Vamadeva, Tatpurush, Aghor and Ishaan).

These are the five distinctive mukhas of Lord Shiva. Describing the secret of his special five-faced murti, Shiva says to Mata Annapurna – 'Brahma is my unique devotee. Because of his devotion,

I solve his problems by giving darshan in every kalpa.

Indra is Purandar and the names of Saptaris are as follows,...
•Kashyap,
•Atri,
•Vashisht,

Manvantaras also change,

The names of 14 Manu and Rishis of the present Kalpa are as follows.

15 Nimesh = 1 Kastha (काष्ठा)
•30 kastha = 1 kala
•30 Kala = 1 Muhurta
•30 Muhurta = 1 Ahoratra (one day and night)
•15 Ahoratra = 2 Paksha (Shukla Paksha, Krishna Paksha)
•2 Paksha= 1 month
•6 months = 1 Ayan

BHAKTI MARG ACCORDING TO SHIVAPURAN

There Nothing is more pleasurable than the Path of Bhakti in all the Loka's and in all the four Yuga, whoever dives in this sacred ocean of Ishwara's Bhakti , can definitely attain Mokshā and get relief from BhavaSagara ,

it is more pleasing in the Kali Yuga as compared to others., The reason is the lack of both knowledge and disinterest in humans.

Bhakti is the only path through which we can connect with Ishwara and whoever become hurdle in Ishwara's Devotees with bad intentions he is always

punishable by Ishwara.

The Bhakti which is inspired by Shashtra's and is surrendered to Ishwara by heart selflessly , considered to be श्रेष्ठ , and which is full of Selfishness is always called निम्नकोटी भक्ति .

Both these types of devotion are of two types in terms of नैष्ठि and अनैष्ठि

- there are 6 types of नैष्ठि and
- 1 of अनैष्ठि

There are mainly two types of devotion -

1) सगुण
2) निर्गुण

The nine parts of both Nirguna and Saguna have been described, which is something like this -

● श्रवण - Hearing the Lord's Kirtan by drowning in devotion.

● कीर्तन - Performing bhajan with pure devotion by singing the glory of the Lord.

This verse teaches us to that if we want to attain moksha it is very necessary to stay away from the Negative people's, thoughts or behaviour. No matter how positive you are ,

they can effect your life, unless you take take the right step to keep yourself unaffected,because they love bringing others down .

घ्नंतो॑ वृ॒त्रम॑तर॒न्रोद॑सी अ॒प उ॒रु क्षया॑य चक्रिरे।

inclinations are strong and healthy, then our body and mind also become healthy, which means that now we are free every evils and vices.

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.

Ashta Siddhi

Ashta Siddhi is mentioned in Patanjali Yog sutra and can be obtained by very few through countless years of practice and devotion to all eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga.

Siddhi can loosely be translated as accomplishment or a special power or unusual skill.

The eight Siddhis are:

1. Anima: Reducing one’s physical self to the size of an atom.

2. Mahima: Expanding one’s physical self to infinite level

3. Garima: Making one’s physical self so heavy as immovable by others

4. Laghima: Becoming almost weightless

5. Prapti: Being able travel anywhere in the Universe

6. Prakamya: Can know & understand what is going on in one’s mind. Can understand other person’s min.

7. Ishitva: Possessing title of Bhagwan

8. Vashitva: A seeker can subdue any person/thing

(Hanuman Jayanti is coming)

Hanumanji not only possessed all eight siddhis, but was also blessed by Sita mata as “Ashta Siddhi Nau Nidhi Ke Daata”.

When Hanumanji first reaches to Lanka on his mission to find Sita, he makes use of anima so as to be discrete in enemy territory.

He uses it again when he approaches Sita mata for the first time – reducing his size to that of a schoolboy, to avoid scaring her. He uses mahima to outwit & overpowers
the demons.

Story 21 - it is about how stone elephant came to life and ate sugarcane - When Raja Abhisheka Pandyan met Ellam Valla Siddhar

கல்யானைக்கு கரும்பருத்திய படலம்

Raja Abhisheka Pandiyan went ahead to meet Ellam Valla Siddhar on the premises of the temple.On seeing the arrival of Raja, people surrounding Siddhar moved back. Abhisheka Pandiyan introduced himself to Siddhar &asked about his whereabouts.Also his purpose of visit to Madurai.

Raja asked why he performed magical acts, does he expect anything from him or people of Madurai.

Siddhar laughed & replied to Raja that he was from Kasi. He had heard a lot about Madurai in Kashi.Also told that this place is a Mukti Kshetram,so he had come to stay here.

Siddhar asked Raja if he has the capability &power to give anything that he asks for. Siddhar told King that he has power to do things even if he think of it.Siddhar asked King to ask whatever he wants & it would be provided, whatever these people had asked, they were granted.

Abhisheka Pandyan was shocked to receive such a reply from Siddhar,& he decided to test the power of this Siddhar. By that time, Raja saw a person in crowd having Sugarcane.

Raja took Sugarcane from that person.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.

...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.

Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
