Do We (Hindus) really have 33 Crore Gods and Goddesses?

The concept of 33 Koti devata in Hinduism!

’33 Crore Gods’ is a highly misinterpreted fact. The term ‘trayastrimsati koti’ mentioned in Atharva Veda, Yajur Veda, and Satapatha-brahmana, was misunderstood as 33 Crores.

The term ‘koti’ in Sanskrit has two meaning, one is ‘supreme’ and the other is Crore.

The term ‘trayastrimsati koti’ does not mean the number 'thirty-three crore'. Here koti means 'supreme', pre-eminent, excellent, that is, the 33 'supreme' divinities.

So, somewhere in translation, we missed the basic fact that Hinduism has 33 Supreme Gods and not 33 Crore Gods.

(The word koti has the same meaning as “Uchcha koti.”)

In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, chapter 3, Yajñavalkya has said that in reality there are only 33 Gods and Goddesses.

Of these 8 are Vasus, 11 Rudras, 12 Adityas, and Indra and Prajapati.

( 8+ 11 + 12 + 2 = 33).

8 Vasus (deities of material elements) are -

Dyaus "Sky",
Prthivi "Earth",
Vāyu "Wind",
Agni "Fire",
Nakşatra "Stars",
Varuņa "Water",
Surya "Sun",
Chandra "Moon"

They are called Vasus, because they are the abode of all that lives, moves or exists.

"Mandir todna hai, to karo man ghat"

“If you want to break down the temple, harden your heart”

Aurangzeb, the 6th Mughal Emperor who destroyed multiple Hindu temples, could not touch “Karmanghat Hanuman Mandir” during his reign.

Abul Muzaffar Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad Aurangzeb (3 November 1618 - 3 March 1707 CE) was the third son and sixth child of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal.

He was born when his father was governor of Gujarat.

Aurangzeb was well known for his rejection of pluralism and expansion of Islam by force.

His father appointed him as viceroy of the Deccan in 1636 CE and he brought the Nizam Shahi dynasty to an end.

After multiple confrontations with his elder brother Dara Shikoh, Aurangzeb took control over army and ordered on 10 August 1659, Dara was executed on grounds of apostasy.

Aurangzeb was crowned Sultan and he started expanding his kingdom along with religion.

History of Karmanghat Hanuman Temple:

During late 12th century, a comman-in-chief of Kakatiya Dynasty went for hunting and rested under a tree in a forest. He could hear the chanting of Raam and when searched, found stone idol of Hanuman Ji in seated posture.

नवग्रह समिधा के नाम 🙏🏻🚩
(नवग्रह के पौधे एवं ग्रह शांति में उनके योगदान)

भारतीय ज्योतिष शास्त्र में ग्रहों को अपने अनुकूल बनाने के लिए ‘वनस्पति’ की विशेष भूमिका रही है। उसके अनुसार पेड़-पौधों लगाने और इनके हवन-पूजन से ग्रहों संबंधी कई समस्याएं दूर होती हैं।

#Thread

ज्योतिष शास्त्र में ग्रहों की संख्या 9 बतायी गई है

सूय्र्यचन्द्रो मंगलश्च बुधश्चापि बृहस्पति:।
शुक्र: शनेश्चरो राहु: केतुश्चेति नव ग्रहा:।।

ऐसी मान्यता है कि इन ग्रहों की विभिन्न नक्षत्रों में स्थिति के अनुसार प्रत्येक मनुष्य पर इनके अलग-अलग प्रभाव पड़ते हैं,

ये प्रभाव अनुकूल और प्रतिकूल दोनों होते हैं। ग्रहों के प्रतिकूल प्रभावों को शांत करने के लिए शास्त्रों में अनेक उपाय बताये गये हैं जिनमें एक उपाय ‘यज्ञ’ भी है।

यज्ञ द्वारा हर ग्रह शांति के लिए अलग अलग विशिष्ट वनस्पति की समिधा (हवन प्रकाष्ठ) प्रयोग की जाती है,

जैसा श्लोक में वर्णित है

“अर्क: पलाश: खदिरश्चापामार्गोऽथ पिप्पल:
औडम्बर: शमी दूव्र्वा कुशश्च समिध: क्रमात्”(गरुण पुराण)

अर्थात्

1-‘सूर्य ग्रह’ की शान्ति हेतू ‘अर्क (मदार)’ की समिधा का प्रयोग होता है मदार की लकड़ी में उसके पत्तों व गाय का घी मिलाकर हवन करने से रोग नाश होते हैं

2- चंद्र के लिए

पलाश के पेड़ में ब्रह्मा, विष्णु व महेश का निवास माना जाता है। पलाश के सूखे हुए फूल देवी देवताओं को कार्तिक माह में चढ़ाने से ग्रह बाधा दूर हो जाती है।

इसके वृक्ष को घर से दक्षिण-पूर्व (southeast) दिशा में लगाना चाहिए

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay

Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत

Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।

Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed

AGAMA SHASTRA:THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE MARVELS OF HINDU ARCHITECTURE

Agama Shastra is a Sanskrit word that means the manual for worship, temple building, rituals etc in Hindu Tradition.From Sanskrit,agama means handed down by tradition and Shastra means a commentary or treatise.

Therefore, Agama Shastra is a collection of ideas that drafts the rules for worship, temple construction, spirituality and rituals. It has been a guideline for many Hindus from ancient times. It's a collection of Sanskrit, Tamil and Grantha scriptures that mostly contains...

...methods of temple construction, idol creation, philosophical doctrines and meditative practices. It came into being after years of assimiliation and from a variety of sources. Some parts of it are pre-vedic while some are post-vedic.

Hindu Temples are not just temples, they are the pride and identity of Hindus. They are the symbols of Hindu unity and their religious aspirations. Temples are the places of spiritual healing and are our connection with the creator almighty.

Temples are the priceless treasure of our History, Heritage ,Art & Architecture. Architecture that mesmerises and spell bounds you. And Agama Shastra is that very text which is responsible for such a mesmerising and spell binding quality and beauty of our Hindu Temples.

Srikanteshwara Temple,
#Nanjangud  #Karnatakatemples 🚩

Srikanteshwara Temple or
Nanjundeshwara Temple is a famous Shiva Temple located in Karnataka at the bank of river  Kapila. Temple is also called Varanasi of South. Nanjunda means one who has consumed poison.

Story is  related to the Samudra Mathanam when Paramashiva had to consume halahala.

Parashurama worshipped Mahadeva here to relieve himself from the curse of Mathru Hatya. While clearing the place to do poojas Parashurama's  axe hit the Shivalingam and it began bleeding, that

mark is still visible even today. Thus
it is also believed that Parashurama did Shiva Prathishta here

Sthala Puranam says that, once there was a demon named Keshi who disturbed the people in the area, after  getting blessing from Brahma Deva  and Mahavishnu. Mahadeva appeared

here and killed demon Keshi and blessed this place as Papa Vinashini. Whoever praying to Srikanteshwara or Nanjundeshwara, after bathing in the  Kabini River will be relieved from all sins.

Nanjundeshwaraya Namah
🙏🕉🙏
