|| KAMAL MOULANA MASJID IN DHAR |

Firstly, Dhar is a Sanskrit Word. This city was the capital of a prosperous empire in ancient times. Hence it had many temples and Rajprasāda. Most of them now stand as mosques.

There ब्रह्माकृति will make everyone believe that they originated in the form of temples. More than this, the written proof of this, is also available. Sanskrit Language is engraved on stones covered in dust and buried in walls.

An obvious example is that of the monument which is known as Kamal Maula Mosque. A few years ago, when some portion of that building was uprooted and fell down,

then there were stone panels on it, which were filled with pages of Sanskrit plays. It has now been established that the monument named 'Saraswati Kantabharan' was in the form of a unique library of Sanskrit literature.

This library was unique in the sense that the literature that was stored in it was engraved on stone sheets, not on mortal papers. This example should be sufficient to inspire students of history,

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.

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.

This is my son, Sam. He’s 5. And today he learned how shitty and harmful #ToxicMasculinity is. My rage meter is spiking right now so excuse me if this is a little raw but there are some things I want to say about BS #gender norms (a thread)

Sam is my middle child & he’s a terror. A “boy’s boy” as so many (not me) would say. He’s rough and tumble, he’s loud, he’s always dirty, loves trucks, plays sports and knee drops me from the couch. But he also loves a lot of “girl” things.

Sam has a collection of purses because he likes to carry things around. And he also loves to have his nails painted bright colors because he thinks they “look beautiful.” And he’s right – they are beautiful…

So he proudly wore his red nail polish to kindergarten this morning because Sam has absolutely no concept of nail polish only being for girls or reason to think anyone would possibly have a problem with beautiful nails.

But his classmates did have a problem. A big one. Sam was ridiculed for being a boy with nail polish. They called him names and told him to take it off. This lasted the entire day.

It is said that the one who bears the dust thrown from the hoof of Gaumata on his head, as if taking a bath in the water of the teerth sthalam and getting rid of all sins.

Ved and all other Hindu scriptures venerate the cow. The Vedic dictionary, Nighantu, gives amongst other synonyms of 'Gau' [ or cow] the words 'Aghnya', 'Ahi', and 'Aditi'.

Yaska the vedic decoder and commentator on Nighantu, defines these as-

Aghnya —— the one that ought not to be killed
Ahi —— the one that must not be slaughtered.
Aditi —— the one that ought not to be cut into pieces.

These three names of cow signify that this is an animal which should not to be put to tortures. These words appear frequently throughout the Veda in context of the cow.

But in due course the falsehood of killing cows spread far and wide and they became even more deep rooted when western scholars with their half baked knowledge of Sanskrit transliterated these interpretations of commentaries of Sayanacharya ,
