What is Yagnopaveetham?

Yagnopaveetham is a Sanskrit word; Yagna means sacred ritual and ‘upaveetham’ means a covering. Thus Yagnopaveetham means a sacred covering on the body without which a Yagna or a sacred ritual cannot be performed.

#LongThread

 Yagnopaveetham is a triple-stranded sacrificial filament joined by a knot called ‘Brahmagranthi’ that is worn by those initiated into the Gayathri recital. So It is also called as ‘Brahmasuthram’

Yagno-pavita means ‘thread of sacrifice’ that symbolizes the
sacrifice of ego, anger & selfishness.

What significants three threads :

The sacred thread is a composition of 3 threads, signifying Goddesses Gayatri (thought),Saraswati (speech,wisdom) and Savitri (deed) respectively

The three strands remind the wearer that he has to pay off
the three debts (Runas) he owes to the ancient seers, ancestors and to the God viz. Deva, Rushi, Pithru Runa.

What should be its length?

When you wear the length of Yagnopaveetham should come up to the navel level and it should be neither above nor below the navel.
It is said that if it is below the navel it will lead to the loss of power of penance and if it is above the navel it is Ayuksheenam (decline in longevity).

Composition :

“Yagnopaveetham Navathanthu Nirmitham;”
Yagnopaveetham is made up of nine layers of woven cotton
thread spun by a virgin girl and twisted by a Brahmin reciting Gayathri manthra on an auspicious day.

 Length of the thread : used for making Yagnopaveetham as per scripts should be ‘96 breadths of four fingers measured by one’s own hand.
Arithmetic of number “96”

It is said that Gayathri Manthra has 24 letters and when it is added together from four Vedas it becomes 96 (24x4) that gives the power or eligibility to the Dwija to perform Yagnaand to recite Gayathri Manthra.
Four fingers represent four states of the soul a man experiences from time to time (waking, dreaming, dreamless sleep, and absolute Brahmanhood)

Significance of Nine layers :

It is said that nine layers represent nine devathas who are the presiding deities of Yagnopaveetham
Omkaram (Pranava),
Agni,
Naaga,
Soma (Moon),
Pithru Devathas,
Prajapathi,
Vayu,
Surya and
Vishve Devathas.

Before wearing Yagnopaveetham one should offer prayer to all these nine deities.

Brahma Granthi :

As per the scripts it is prescribed that the Yagnopaveetham should have
knots equivalent to the number of Pravaras in one’s Gothra.
But in practice we find only one knot for the Yagnopaveetham.

The knot with which the three strands are tied together is called Brahma Granthi that signifies ParaBrahma (Pranavam) who is ‘Sakala Veda Swaroopa.’
Significance of wearing Yagnopaveetham :

The Vedic link that a child looses when the umbilical cord is cut is re established in the form of Yagnopaveetham.

In other words, Yagnopaveetham serves as an umbilical cord that connects him not just his immediate parents not just the
three generations but the entire tree of generations and the Rishi on whose root the whole tree flourished.

The three strands remind the wearer that he has to pay off the three debts (Runas) he owes to the ancient seers, ancestors and to the God viz.  Deva, Rushi, Pithru Runa.
Scientific reasons behind the use of Janeu :

There are lots of scientific reasons behind the use of Janeu vein named ‘Lohitika’ passing through the right ear regulates the flow of urine. So, when the person wears the sacred thread around his ear while passing
urine it indirect helps in urinary system to regulate the urine flow, thus keeping urinary system and bladder healthy.

It also helps in reducing the blood pressure and heart related disease as well. It also helps in increasing the memory power.

Covering the head and body with
a cloth while urinating or defecating is necessary to prevent direct physical contact with Rajas-Tamas predominant waves. Janeu act as this cloth so after washing the hands, feet, and rinsing the mouth with water, take the janeu off the right ear.

The spiritually reason is :
The physical body above the navel is considered pure for performing religious rituals, while the portion below it is considered impure.
Many Deities live in the right ear; simply touching the right ear with the right hand presents the benefit of an Achaman which leads to internal
purification. Hanging the Janeu on the sacred right ear prevents the induction of impurity. It also activate the Suryanadi which create protective cover of radiant waves around individual and prevent from Rajas and Tamas predominant activities such as urination & defecation.

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

"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.

Ayurvedic Health Clock :

The Ayurveda Clock is a 24 hr guide that aims to nurture our natural circadian rhythm.

During a 24 hour period, one of the dosha (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) becomes more active at certain times of the day/night.


The Ayurveda clock shows each active dosha at its respective time and what activities we should do to best serve our mind, body & soul so we can adapt to our natural rhythm, offering us energy, vitality, rest and rejuvenation at appropriate times.

The Ayurveda clock is divided into six 4 hr cycles, three of which occur during the day and three during the night.

6 am- 10am- KAPHA time:

This is the best time for exercise as physical strength is great during these hours. Kapha is the most stable and grounding dosha.

If we do our exercise routine during the morning Kapha hours, we have the best chance of developing an enduring habit. If you feel lazy and difficult to get out of bed, then Kapha dosha is the culprit here. So, try getting up before 6am to avoid feeling sluggish.

10am - 2pm- PITTA time:

Pitta dosha governs digestion and appetite. Our Agni is strongest during these hours. So, eat your largest meal of the day during this time. The Pitta energy aids our ability to concentrate. We are most focused and alert during the Pitta times of the day.

Story of Thumba Poo and Shiva

Thumba poo is a tiny white flower which grows in all areas. These flowers are used for treatment for sinus. Small children who have polyps in Nose are told to crush tumbha leaves and apply in nose part.
There is an interesting story of Thumba and


Mahadeva. Thumba flowers were not taken for Shiva Pooja. Saddened to this Thumba prayed sincerely and Mahadeva appeared before her.
She was surprised that Shiva had appeared before her. Instead of saying that she wants to under his feet always, she said
@SriramKannan77


She said that her feet should be on his head. Shiva accepted her prayers. It is because of this Thumba flower is placed in the head of Shiva Linga.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n


3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)

1/ So here is a thread on how I turned $32,000 into $1.2m and back to pretty much zero (once taxes are paid).

Just note, I am not bitter or salty in any way at all, the last 2 years have been an amazing ride - travelled the world, been wealthy, been poor.

2/ Dec '16, my advertising agency folded, I had a little bit of money left and I put $32k into Bitcoin and Ether. As it started to go up I diversified into everything, Monero, Dash, this that, any crap - even Ripplecoin. Everything just kept going up.

3/ By March I think I had around $300k and $500k by the summer. I used to take 25% out but towards the end of the summer I got greedy and put it all back in and by December it was $1.2m.

4/ Thinking I was an absolute genius I decided to start a bunch of businesses. As silly as it sounds I had this goal of making $5m as I wanted to buy Bedford Town Football Club and get them in the league, and as Crypto was going up forever I needed 6 months.

5/ So:
- Trading (income 1)
- Podcast (income 2)
- Mining (income 3)
- Mining pool (income 4)
- Consulting (income 5)

Yes - all of the above as a one-man army :)

1/ Recently, I learned about the concept of ‘struggle porn’. This refers to the fetish of sacrificing nearly everything (health, relationships, time) for your startup. I fear that this label is creating more harm than good.

2/ @nateliason wrote a fabulous article about this topic, which first introduced me to this concept. Everyone should read it:

3/ @alexisohanian also recently spoke about struggle porn, though referring to it as ‘hustle porn.’ (as the co-founder of @hustlefundvc, obviously I take issue with this pejorative definition of ‘hustle’, but that’s another topic)

4/ Struggling in itself isn’t necessarily bad. Let’s be real here--if you’re going to start a startup, you will struggle. Founders should expect to work harder generally than employees. You will be challenged in many ways and also be super rewarded in others. This is normal.

5/ However, if you are over-indexing on hard work without clear purpose and degrading your mental health/relationships in the process--then this is very bad and we obviously should not celebrate this behavior.

Met a Brazilian-American Lyft driver from San Diego who passionately attacked the racism of Republicans, then switched to passionately defending Bolsonaro.

If I were Thomas Friedman, I could tell you what this means.

Met a Haitian-American in a restaurant who said he'd always vote for Democrats because of the immigration issue, but that he has conservative beliefs too. "I don't want to pay for someone's abortion!", he declared.

Met a Latino Lyft driver from San Jose who said that while he was liberal, California was getting too liberal for him and he was considering moving to San Antonio.

Again, not being Tom Friedman, I am unable to offer any commentary on the political and policy implications of these conversations.

I guess my only thought is that political opinions are pretty complex and multidimensional, out there in the real world.
