Speed Of Light In The ‘Rig Veda’

As per Modern Science the speed of light is 186,000 miles/second

Now read it carefully & get to know the Power of Vedic Science👇

Speed of light was known to Indians in Vedic period and was determined accurately in Rig Veda thousands of yrs ago

 It was further elaborated by Sayana ( An influential commentator on the Vedas) in the 14th century AD in his commentaries on Rig Veda.

Many years after that, The velocity of Light was calculated by Maxwell in the 19th century,
In Rig-Veda, there is a hymn which is incredibly close to the information about the speed of light.

तथा च स्मर्यते योजनानां सहस्त्रं द्वे द्वे शते द्वे च योजने एकेन निमिषार्धेन क्रममाण नमोऽस्तुते ।।
"tatha ca smaryate yojananam. sahasre dve dve sate dve ca yojane
ekena nimishardhena kramaman
Namostute."

This means “It is remembered here that Sun (light) traverses 2,202 yojanas in half a nimisha.”
**Nimisharda = half of a nimisha

**In the vedas 'Yojana' is a unit of - Distance and 'Nimisha' is a unit of - Time.

'Arthasastra' defines A Yojana as being equal to 8,000 dhanus, which is equivalent to 9.09 miles
Means 1 Yojana = 8000 Dhanus = 9,09 miles

1 nimisha = 0.2112 seconds (This is a recursive decimal. The wink of an eye is equal to 0.2112 seconds.)

1/2 nimisha = 0.1056 seconds

Thus 2,202 yojanas in half a nimisha is equal to 189,547 miles per second after conversion.
The modern estimate of the speed of light is 186,281.7 miles per second.

Now here comes the Maths Part,
👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

**Unit of Vedic Time: Nimisha**

The Moksha Dharma Parva of Shanti Parva in Mahabharata describes Nimisha as follows:
1 nimisha = 0.2112 seconds (This is a recursive decimal. The wink of an eye is equal to 0.2112 seconds.)

1/2 nimisha = 0.1056 seconds

15 Nimisha = 1 Kastha
30 Kashta = 1 Kala
30.3 Kala = 1 Muhurta
30 Muhurtas = 1 Diva-Ratri (Day-Night)
We know Day-Night is 24 hours
So we get 24 hours = 30 x 30.3 x 30 x 15 nimisha
in other words 409050 nimisha

We know 1 hour = 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds

So 24 hours = 24 x 3600 seconds =
86,400

So 409,050 nimisha = 86,400 seconds
**Unit of Vedic 'Distance': Yojana**

Yojana is defined in Chapter 6 of Book 1 of the ancient vedic text “Vishnu Purana” as follows:

10 ParamAnus = 1 Parasúkshma
10 Parasúkshmas = 1 Trasarenu
10 Trasarenus = 1 Mahírajas (particle of dust)
10 Mahírajas= 1 Bálágra (hair’s point)
10 Bálágra = 1 Likhsha
10 Likhsha= 1 Yuka
10 Yukas = 1 Yavodara (heart of barley)
10 Yavodaras = 1 Yava (barley grain of middle size)
10 Yava = 1 Angula (1.89 cm or approx 3/4 inch)
6 fingers = 1 Pada (the breadth of it)
2 Padas = 1 Vitasti (span)
2 Vitasti = 1 Hasta (cubit)
4 Hastas = a Dhanu, a Danda, or pauruSa (a man’s height), or 2Nárikás = 6 feet

2,000 Dhanus = 1 Gavyuti (distance to which a cow’s call or lowing can be heard) = 12,000 feet

4 Gavyutis = 1 Yojana = 9.09 miles
**Now come to the final Part of Calculation of the 'Speed of Light' from the Rig Veda** :

So now we can calculate what is the value of the speed of light in modern units based on the value given as 2202 yojanas in 1/2 nimisha

= 2,202 x 9.09 miles per 0.1056 seconds
= 20,016.18 miles per 0.1056 seconds

= 189,547 miles per second

As per the Rig Veda the speed of light is 189,547 miles per second.

As per modern science the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second!

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।

अष्ट सिद्धि नव निधि के दाता ।
अस वर दीन्ह जानकी माता ।।

“अष्ट सिद्धि” कौन सी हैं वो अष्‍ट सिद्धियां जिनके दाता महाबली हनुमान बताए गए हैं!

तुलसीदास जी द्वारा लिखी गई हनुमान चालीसा के इस दोहे को आपने न जाने कितनी बार सुना और दोहराया होगा

#JaiShaniDev #JaiShreeRam 🙏🏻🚩


तुलसीदास जी बताते हैं कि हनुमान जी आठ सिद्धियों से संपन्न हैं.

श्रीहनुमान रुद्र के ग्यारहवें अवतार हैं. वे कई गुणों, सिद्धियों और अपार बल के स्वामी हैं. इस चौपाई के अनुसार यह ‘अष्टसिद्धि’ माता सीता के आशीर्वाद से श्रीहनुमान जी को अपने भक्तों तक पहुंचाने को भी मिली है

इन शक्तियों के प्रभाव से ही हनुमानजी ने लंका को ऐसा उजाड़ा कि महाबली रावण न केवल दंग रह गया बल्कि उसका घमंड भी चूर हो गया.

ये हैं वे आठ सिद्धियां और उनसे होने वाले चमत्कारों का वर्णन

(1) अणिमा (2) महिमा (3) गरिमा (4) लघिमा (5) प्राप्‍ति (6) प्राकाम्‍य (7) ईशित्‍व (8) वशित्‍व ।

1- अणिमा 

महाबली हनुमान जी द्वारा प्रदान की जाने वाली ये सिद्धि बड़ी ही चमत्‍कारिक है। इस सिद्धि के पूर्ण हो जाने पर इंसान कभी भी अति सूक्ष्‍म रूप धारण कर सकता है। इस सिद्धि का उपयोग स्‍वयं महाकपि ने भी किया था। हनुमान जी ने इस सिद्धि का प्रयोग करते हुए ही

राक्षस राज रावण की लंका में प्रवेश किया था और सीता माता का पता लगाया था । यही नहीं सुरसा नामक राक्षसी के मुंह में बजरंगबली ने इसी सिद्धि के माध्‍यम से बाहर निकल आये थे

2- महिमा

इस सिद्धि को साध लेने वाला मनुष्‍य अपने शरीर को कई गुना विशाल बना सकता है।

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".

Types of Shivling 🙏🏻🔱

Shivlings can be of various types, though broadly divided into 2 classes:

Chal lingas (movable ones); and Achal or Sthir lingas ( स्थिर, immovable ones, such as the ones in heavy stones


which we see in temple sanctums).

The Chal lingas - can be categorised into mrinmaya (made of earth), lohaja (metal made), ratnaja (made of precious stones), daruja (wooden ones), sailaja (stone made ones), and kshanika lingas

(made for some occasion and disposed off immediately afterwards).

The Achal lingas - also known as Sthir lingas or Dhruv lingas, and can be classified into ‘Four Types’: Daivika, Arsaka, Ganapa, and Manusa.

The Kamika Agama ( Granth) however classifies them into ‘Six Types’

Swambhu, Daivika, Arsaka, Ganapatya, Manusa, and Banalingas.

Besides the swambhu or the natural ones that have a special significance of their own,

the last two are the most important ones. Banalingas, like salagramas, are natural and found in particular

river beds, mainly fished out from the river Reva or Narmada.

Manusa are man-made lingas; comprising of three parts namely, Brahmabhaga (square lowest section), Vishnubhaga (octagonal middle part), and Rudrabhaga (topmost part, generally cylindrical);

My dad led an organization of over 300,000 employees.

When I took on my biggest marketing & events team to date (35 employees) I asked him how the *heck* he did it. Here's what he said and what helped me every day. 🧵

Remember you're leading all the employees under you, but you're not *managing* them all. You're managing your direct reports, which should be 5-7 individuals max. Focus on them.

When you interact with the employees you don't manage directly, get to know them as people first, that'll be the most valuable information in leading them. Remembering everything you learn about them is hard, but doing so will make you a superhero.

If you're not going to empower the managers under you, why do you have them? If you see room for improvement, let the manager know and let them make the change on their teams and come to you with questions/concerns. This will save you SO much time.

If you're the smartest person in any room - you're doing it wrong. As a leader, your job is bringing together the best people to get the job done - your skillset is identifying those people, not being one of them.

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.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

The Haas / Force India argument is fascinating, and the decision of the stewards may still have consequences. The first key finding is that the stewards ruled Racing Point Force India to be a valid constructor. That means that it builds its own cars.

Haas had argued that the cars had been designed by Force India, but as Haas knows only too well, "outsourcing" is legal. The stewards decided that "there is no regulatory support for the argument that Outsourcing of Listed Parts cannot come from a former or excluded team."

In determining this, the stewards also came to the following conclusion: "In relation to the submission by the Racing Point Force India F1 Team that it is not a new team, the Stewards decide that the Racing Point Force India F1 Team is indeed a new team."

This will have a big knock on effect for Haas in its continued arguments over the rights of RPFI as relates to its eligibility and rights under the complex payments structure. Haas has argued all along that RPFI should be treated as a new team and tread the same path that it did.

TLDR? Haas lost the fight but may have won the war. In having its argument that Racing Point hadn't designed their own car thrown out, they gained clarification that RPFI was a new team.

SRI KUMARIAMMAN, KANYAKUMARI (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

Created by Maharshi Parasurama and also one among the 108 Shakthi Peethas in the world. The name Kanyakumari stands for Kanya(Virgin) and Kumari(girl).
Devi took this form to vanquish the demon Banasura
@GunduHuDuGa


Once, Banasura(grand son of Mahabali) obtained a boon from Shiva that he could be vanquished only by a virgin.
So, Devi took the form of a kumari and started meditating with the desire to marry Shiva at Suchindram.
Pleased Shiva fixed the midnight hour for marriage with Devi.


Devarshi Narada knew that the marriage would end the chance of killing Banasura. So, he assumed the form of a cock and crowed. Shiva returned back to Suchindram thinking that it was dawn.
Angered, Devi cursed that all food and articles meant for wedding turn into sand and shells


When Banasura heard about Devi’s beauty, he tried to take her by force. Devi, then, killed him and granted the wish of Devas to remain there always protecting them.
The murti of Devi stands with a rosary in hand. Her diamond nose-ring is said to be visible even from the sea.


Once an ancient mariner mistook it for a lighthouse and sailing towards it, his ship wrecked upon the Kanya Kumari rocks. In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, the eastern door of the shrine is opened only on five special occasions throughout the year.

There are so many firsts in Egypt that we all know about, and that makes Egypt unique. For example, the Sumerians did not build the pyramids of Egypt.
