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 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

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

Shocking Connection Between The Vatican city (Italy) & Shiva Linga

The Vatican city is shaped in the form of a Shiva linga!
This shocking claim was made by historian P.N. Oak who said that the word Vatican has actually come from the Sanskrit word 'Vatika'

and that Christianity has come from 'Krishna Neeti'.

We have often heard that all the religions have emerged from one Sanatana Dharma. It does not matter which faith you follow because ultimately you are praying to the same God

The connection between the Vatican city and Shiva linga is quite interesting.

The striking similarities between the two symbols of the world's greatest religions is sure to make your mind blow away. Let us take a look at the shocking connection between them.

The Striking Similarity:

Take a look at the picture above. You will see the similarity between the shape of the linga and the compound of the Vatican city. The pathway is shaped like a phallus. On looking closer you will find a tripundara (three lines on Bhagwan Shiv's forehead)

and a bindu incorporated into the design of the Piazza San Pietro of the Vatican city.

Vatican- What's In A Name:

The word Vatican has been derived from the Sanskrit word 'Vatika' which means Vedic cultural centres. Such words and a few excavations prove that Vatican was

The Energy Channels or Nadis
(Ida,Pingala & Sushumna)

The word ‘Nadi’ comes from the root ‘Nad’ in Sanskrit means ‘hollow stalk’.It refers to the network of channels through which the energies such as prana of the physical body,the subtle body & the causal body are said to flow.

Kundalini travels throughout our body by way of these three energy channels, or nadis. All three work perfectly together to integrate and balance the flow of our Kundalini.

Each also plays a specific role in maintaining our emotions, moods and physical health.

The three principal nadis that run from the base of the spine to the head are the ‘Ida’ on the Left, the ‘Sushumna’ on the Centre, and the ‘Pingala’ on the Right. Ultimately the goal is to unblock these nadis to bring liberation.

(1) Ida Nadi – Called the left channel, Ida is a Sanskrit word which means “comfort”. it starts in the Muladhara (root) chakra, flowing to the left and weaving in and out of the chakras before ending in the left nostril. This Nadi represents mental energy.

Ida Nadi is feminine energy with a cooling effect. It is introverted and is associated with the right side of the brain and the left side of the body. It is also called “Chandra” or “moon” Nadi since it is associated with lunar energy.Ida Nadi controls all of the mental processes

जानिये क्यूँ की जाती है गोवर्धन पूजा 🙏🏻

“गोवर्धन धराधार गोकुल त्राणकारक।
विष्णुबाहु कृतोच्छ्राय गवां कोटिप्रभो भव।।

देवराज इन्द्र के अभिमान को चूर करने हेतु भगवान श्री कृष्ण ने, जो स्वयं लीलाधारी श्री हरि विष्णु के अवतार हैं ने एक लीला रची।

#GovardhanPuja

प्रभु की इस लीला में यह हुआ कि एक दिन प्रभु ने देखा के सभी बृजवासी उत्तम पकवान बना रहे हैं और किसी पूजा की तैयारी में जुटे। श्री कृष्ण ने बड़े भोलेपन से मईया यशोदा से प्रश्न किया " मईया ये आप लोग किनकी पूजा की तैयारी कर रहे हैं" कृष्ण की बातें सुनकर मैया बोली -

“लल्ला हम देवराज इन्द्र की पूजा के लिए अन्नकूट की तैयारी कर रहे हैं।”

मैया के ऐसा कहने पर श्री कृष्ण बोले मैया हम इन्द्र की पूजा क्यों करते हैं ?

मैया ने कहा वह वर्षा करते हैं जिससे अन्न की पैदावार होती है उनसे हमारी गायों को चारा मिलता है।

भगवान श्री कृष्ण बोले हमें तो गोर्वधन पर्वत की पूजा करनी चाहिए क्योंकि हमारी गाये वहीं चरती हैं, इस दृष्टि से गोर्वधन पर्वत ही पूजनीय है और इन्द्र तो कभी दर्शन भी नहीं देते व पूजा न करने पर क्रोधित भी होते हैं अत: ऐसे अहंकारी की पूजा नहीं करनी चाहिए।

लीलाधारी की लीला और माया से सभी ने इन्द्र के बदले गोवर्घन पर्वत की पूजा की।

देवराज इन्द्र ने इसे अपना अपमान समझा और मूसलाधार वर्षा शुरू कर दी। प्रलय के समान वर्षा देखकर सभी बृजवासी भगवान को लगने लगा कि ये सब श्री कृष्ण की बात मानने के फलस्वरूप हुआ

WHY BABUR NEVER TRIED TO ATTACK SRI KRISHNADEVARAYA ?

A🧵u must read

It is very well known that Babur considered Krishna Dev Raya as the strongest ruler of the entire subcontinent, and Vijayanagar empire the strongest during that time in India.

During Baburs invasion, Krishna Dev Raya ruled supreme in all of deccan.

In fact, in an all our brawl, Krisha Dev Raya will beat Babur fair and square.

Babur could muster at max 50000 troops with 50 canons.

While Krishna Dev Raya had these numbers in Hampi alone
