Bharat: Advancement of earth’s earliest civilization

Glorious Vedic Architecture and Temple

Architecture in India was an extremely rich form of expression and highly developed science, with a deep heritage of spirituality in it. #FreeHinduTemple

 The centre of all architectural development was the temple and temple or Mandir was the earthly home of God, and like the launching pad for the devotee’s consciousness to soar toward the Divine and the spiritual world.
The murti or deity of the Divine would be placed in the temple sanctum, around which all temple activity would revolve.

Such buildings were often elaborately decorated with stone, wood, plaster, etc. and carved or cut to depict the stories from the Puranas or other sacred texts
Temples were always the centre of religious, social and educational activities, practically more so in
ancient times than today.

During a span of more than two thousand years, various dynasties were known for constructing glorious temples,
some of which include the Mauryan, Ashoka, Gupta, Satavahana, Chedi, Chandella, Chalukya, Solanki, Pallava, Shola, Hoysala, Vijayanagar, and others.

Many of these temples remain beautiful architectural wonders today.
The Mandirs were composed of various parts, which included the Garbhagriha or sanctum; the Sukanasi or nose of the structure; the Antarala or adjoining passages; the Mandapa or main hall; the Dhwaja sthambha or flag post; and the Bali peeth, or the pedestal for the offerings.
The temples played a most prominent centre of village and community life.

Along with the place of worship, they were also places of preserving and teaching basic education along with the culture by which the community thrived.
They also utilized and employed many 85 artists, musicians, dancers, cooks, architects, priests, carpenters, weavers, florists, etc., for maintaining the temple and participating in festivities on the holy days.
Farmers and landowners would also donate food and produce to the temple, which would be used for offering to the deities and then distributed to the devotees and pilgrims.

Temple construction was more specific because of the higher purpose involved.
The science of construction goes all the way back to the time of the Atharva Veda, which contains several hymns on
the topic in its Shala-nirmana-sukta.

Other hymns that discuss the ways of testing soil for construction,
what should be avoided, or what materials to use are also found in the Matsya Purana (Adhyayah 253, verse 11), Vastu Shastra (verse 5), Bhrigu-samhita (Adhyayah 4), and Kashyapashilpah (Adhyayah 4).
Additional Sanskrit literature that contained references to architecture included Agni Purana, the Brihat Samhita and Arthashastra, and the Vastu Sashtra texts like the Maya-Mata, Manasara, and Samarangana-sutradhara.
These all included such points as the selection of stone, soil testing, making of bricks, mortar, the carving of the deities, and even the use of chisels and carving tools.
The references in both the Ramayana and Mahabharata mention the two great architects, namely Visvakarma of the gods and Maya Danava.
The existence of Maya in the Khandara forest and his building the Sabha of the Pandavas and his knowledge of the city near Kailasha is because of his expertise in this subject.
The Ramayana also explains different kinds of architects used in house construction, according to the Silpa Shastra.

These include the Sthapati, Vardhaki, Takshaka, and Sutradhara. The different houses were called Prasada, Saudha, Vimana, Harmmya, Sabha, and so on.
The Mahabharata describes six kinds of forts, as also found in the Silpa Shastra.

From the information of Vastu as also found in Kautilya’s Arthashastra, which is known to have been in existence no later than the 1st century CE or even by the 4th century BCE,
we can understand that all of such knowledge would have been developed before then.

Other information from ancient times included the use of timber, bricks and stones, the foundation and picking the proper sites, the shape of the land, soil condition,
and then the construction of the building.

If Indian culture is to find its natural place in world processes, temples need to be freed of government control.
This will facilitate the development of temple universities devoted not only to the artistic and religious traditions of India but also to contemporary problems of science, technology, and society.

Curse is always better then boons.

List of personalities who were been granted boons which turned to curse.

Draupadi wish Husband with 5 Gunas from Shiv ji and this was difficult but just because of Draupadi's Stubbornness Shiv ji has to fulfill her wish


which turned against her and she had to be wife of 5 Pandvas and she had to get divided into 5 Pandavas.

Hirankashyupu was booned by Sri Bramaji to turn imortal but died much earlier by Sri Narshimadeva bhagwan


*Demon Bhasmasura was booned by Bhagwan Shiva that on whose ever head he puts his hand the person would burn to ash, he keeps his hand on his own head & burns when tricked ...by Sri Hari Vishnu bhagwan.


*Rahu was given Amrut (boon) by Mohini but his head was chopped the same moment.


Duryodhana was gifted with Sri Krishna bhagwans Akshani sena but still he died with his 99 brothers.

|| Duties of Brahmins ||

Based on the discourses of Mahaperiyava Swamigal, this thread deals with the duties of Brahmins. The duties propounded in this thread must be practised even by the office-going Brahmins.


It is upto Brahmins to take whatever steps they think fit to promote Vedic learning.

Everyday they must perform Brahmayajña (ब्रह्मयज्ञ) which is one of the five great sacrifices (mahayajñas).

The Brahma (ब्रह्म) in Brahmayajña means the Vedas. The power of the mantras must be preserved in us as an eternal reality.

It must burn bright like a lamp that is never extinguished. For this reason it is necessary that we perform Brahmayajña.

We must offer oblations to the presiding seers (ऋषि) of our Vedic recension.

Failing that, the least we can do is perform the Gayatri-japa every day.

Gayatri is the essence of the Vedas, their substance. To qualify to chant it, you must be initiated into it by a Guru.

The Gayatri you thus learn must be mentally repeated at least a thousand times every day.

We have known art of breathing from start of civilization on earth.

Yes, Breathing is an art.

Right kind of breathing can lead to a healthy and long life.
But people have forgotten to breathe properly.


There are three Nadi in our body in which pranvayu travels.

Ida, Pingala and Sushumna.

Sushumna is activated only when we have proper mastery and control over Ida and Pingala.

Nowadays people can even control these two Nadi.


You can overcome most of the diseases by just controlling your breathing through balanced Ida and Pingala.

Normally we can't breathe with both nostrils at same time.

It's either from left or from right.


Left nostril is home to Ida or Chandra Nadi while Right nostril is home to Pingala or Surya Nadi.

Sushumna is activated only through rigorous pranayam and Dhyan techniques.

Experts of Pranayam and Yoga tell that breathing from Ida can soothe and cool your mind and body.


While Pingala breathing can lead to warmth and keep you active and energetic.

Normally, we don't breathe to our full extent.
This minimises the capacity of lungs and restricts proper benefits.
By proper training of Pranayam you learn how to breathe properly.

River Saraswati, Rigveda, Mahabharata and Our Civilization.

Saraswati has been a point of discussion when we look at the antiquity of civilization.

It has been concluded that gradually drying Saraswati led to outward migrations at regular interval in past thousands of years,


result of which there are many ancient civilization in western Asia having Vedic and Sanatana roots.

Let's take a look at some facts and try to understand our civilization.

River Saraswati was completely dried up by 1500 BCE - 2000 BCE.


Archeological evidence of Harappan establishment are during that time.

There has been many Researchers working on hydrogeological study of the Saraswati River bed and when we combine the research of all these studies, we find that:


River Saraswati completely dried up in 2000 BCE.

It was drying up and was on support of few other local rivers showing herself at few places during 3000 BCE - 4000 BCE

It was flowing at some places beautifully while became invisible at few places,


but met with other rivers near West of Gujarat during 4000 BCE - 6000 BCE.

It was flowing as perennial river supported by heavy monsoon during 10,000 to 13,000 BCE

It was most grand River of the Indian subcontinent with span of few kilometres

Western people called India as land of spices.
We have been using lot of herbs in our vegetables and dishes.
But was that only because we love the taste of Spices?

A big NO.


Ayurveda mentions many herbs which have their specific medicinal benefits. Many of the herbs are very rare and they are to be used carefully else they can even harm the user.


But many herbs are beneficial in general. They are full of antioxidants, minerals and other useful nutrients. They can be consumed either raw or within less proportion. We have been using them in our day to day lives. Gradually they became part of our daily dishes.


1) Aloe vera:-Extremely easy to grow, aloe vera is India’s most favorite and a succulent plant that is low-on-maintenance and easy-to-grow.The plant is a trusted remedy for Indians to treat skin inflammation, breakouts, and burns.


Its juice is well-known to boost a weak immune system. It is believed to be full of oxidants, which help the body to fight free radicals and stay fit as well as young

IT WAS RISHI KANADA WHO GAVE THE ATOMIC THEORY & TALKED ABOUT THE GRAVITY OF EARTH, 2600 YEARS BEFORE AN APPLE FELL IN FRONT OF NEWTON'S EYES:

Scientists of the modern world credit an English scientist John Dalton (1766 CE -1844 CE) for the Atomic Theory.


And this is because, most of us are not even aware of an ancient Indian Sage named Kanada, who was the first to formulate the theory of atoms, almost 2600 yrs before Dalton and talk about earth's gravity.


Rishi Kanada was born around 600 BCE in Dwarka, Gujarat and he was the son of a philosopher named Ulka. He was fascinated with the minute detailing of the things right from his childhood. Once, when he was very young, he accompanied his father on a journey to Prayaga.


He saw plentiful grains scattered along the path leading to the shore of river Ganga. It's a tradition in Hindu families to scatter the grains for the ants and birds to feed on them. Suddenly, an ant caught his attention, who was feeding on a rice grain.


He was mesmerised by this very fact that how a small grain of rice becomes food for the ant but to satisfy the hunger of a person so many grains are needed together. This incidence made him realize the importance of a single grain of rice.

SRI MOOKAMBIKA DEVI, KOLLUR (KAR)

There was an Asura, Kaumasura, who was doing penance to please Shiva and get a boon. To prevent him from asking for a boon, Devi Saraswati made him dumb (hence called Mookasur)
Later, Adi Parashakti slayed him and came to be called Mookambika.


It is said that Adi Shankaracharya had a vision in which Devi agreed to follow him provided he did not look back. He kept walking and was assured of her presence due to the sound of anklets. When he reached here in Kollur, he turned back as the sound of anklets had stopped.


So Devi stayed here and merged with the lingam. The place came to be called Mookambika Kshetram.
The linga has integrated on it’s left side MahaKali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswathi and on the right side- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.


A swarna rekha (gold line) divides this linga into left and right portion. Adi Shakthi in this Udhbhavlinga form appears only here.
Devi sits in padmasana and has 4 hands.
Adi Shankaracharya installed the Sri Chakra in front of Devi and also composed the Soundarya Lahiri here.

Mahabharat - the great war - 18 days of heroism, deceit, blood and intrigue - now as a mega Twitter thread.

I'll add the events from a few days of the war each day.

Caveats: lots of editorialization, creative liberties and interpretations.

There will also be a lot of asides - especially around war strategy and tactics, the characters and their motivations and non-canon storylines.

Over the years, I've read multiple versions, phenomenal translations and modern retellings. So be prepared for a potpourri.

There are different ways of looking at this war. Was it a family feud? Sure - but whose family? Shantanu's or Satyavati's? Was Vyas essentially telling us his family history? And then Kunti added a twist to this tale. Here's a helpful chart:


Satyavati's two sons from Shantanu both died without children. Vyas - her first son - fathered Dhritarashtra and Pandu (and Vidur).

Pandu never fathered any children. Kunti and Madari gave birth to six demi-gods (Karna and the five Pandavs).

So Satyavati Vs Kunti and Madari.

Or was this a fight between two massive neighbouring kingdoms - the Kurus and the Panchals? While many smaller kingdoms joined the battle, most of the Pandav army (more than half of their 7 divisions) came from the Panchals. King Drupad and his son Shikhandi led two divisions.

Read this. U may get it for free.
Short straddle :
What is ?? Sell an atm call and put.
Instrument: mostly bnf and nf.
Now there are versions of it.
1. Best version :
Enter around 9.15-20 and exit around 3.20. No adjustment nothing.
1/n.


If u r doing it on zero leverage(meaning u have full capital of around bnf's notional contract,i.e. 40000*25 = 10lacs), then u r most likely going to make better than fd or anything like that.
Simple rules : friday,monday, tuesday do for weekly. Wednesday and thrusday next week

So, gamma moves can't impact much.
Another better version of mahesh chander kaushik is to do it for monthly expiry.
Bigger premiums and never hav to worry about 200-300 points sudden moves.
2. 2nd version : have combined stoploss of premiums and re-entry criteria. Example :

Let say 40000 straddle is at 600. Sell at 600 and hav combined sl at 650. Many algos are providing this. U can even place stoploss in % terms. Like, if sold straddle at 400 and placed 10% sl, means if 440 combined premium touch, it will be stoploss.
Let say, in morning,

U sold straddle at 600 and it sl hit at 650. Now, u placed reentry at 600 with same sl. This time may be linear decay happens and u may cover morning's loss and make some profit.
3rd version : stoplosses at each leg and trail sl to cost type.
Example , 40000 straddle at 400.

Time for a Thread🧵On yesterday’s “F&O Pe Charcha - Diary Of An Option Seller” with @Mitesh_Engr by @Paytm Money

Why Gain/loss ratio is important that the batting average
• More than the Win Loss ratio check the total Gain /loss ratio
• If your avg loss is 1% and avg gain is +5% then even if you are losing in 7 positions and winning in 3 out of 10 still you will be net profitable

Treat Trading as a business:
• Stick to a single strategy. Eg: A restaurateur usually wouldn’t be changing his recipe on a daily basis
• Mitesh Sir only works on BO or BD strategy, as he is a versatile trader

• Any trader should atleast experience 3 scenarios i.e. bull, bear & consolidation
• Target 4% per month i.e. 48% p.a.
• Option buying requires skill, everyday there wont be huge momentum, so buying options won’t yield good results, but high chances of falling into a bad habit

Stock Selection:
• In F&O segment there are ~150 stocks
• Not everyday all stocks will move
• Only 5-7 stocks move upside or downside
• Focus only these momentum stocks
• Check which one is moving
• Range BO/BD never disappoints. BO/BD from a rectangle (consolidation)

So, on the subject of bonkers hyperbolic pretzeling over the Bell judgement, Grace 'destroy books I don't like & make inappropriate jokes about sterilising teenage girls' Lavery has some thoughts.

Tell me why my feminism is wrong Grace.

Oh

Well, if anyone thought the Bell judgment was going to make TRAs reconsider making massively overblown claims with no evidence backed up with nothing but a thick wadge of emotional blackmail.... HAHAHA, no one thought that.


A high court in the UK made a delimited judgment about teenager's ability to consent to puberty blockers. This puts all trans people everywhere in the world at risk.

Because if any human anywhere has any thoughts that deviate in any way from the rote line dictated by

the trans rights movement, this puts all trans people everywhere in mortal danger.

Let's be honest Grace. It doesn't put trans people at risk. It puts trans ideology at risk. Because trans ideology depends on the idea of innate gender identity, and the trans child is the

necessary material evidence of the ontology of gender identity.

That is, children are being medicalised to provide evidence to underwrite adults identities.

Nothing to see here.

Annapoorneshwari is the Devi of nutrition and food. The literal meaning of Annapoorneshwari is “Feeding one and all”. Anyone who comes here is offered meals and shelter within the premises.
@LostTemple7


Maharshi Agastya is believed to have done pratishtha here.

Once, Shiva and Parvati had an argument. Shiva declared everything in the world including food to be Maya or illusion. To prove him wrong, Devi Parvati disappeared resulting in entire Earth becoming still.


Taking pity, Devi appeared as Annapoorna and relieved everyone.
Another belief is that once Shiva beheaded Brahma and his skull got stuck in Shiva’s hand. He was cursed that till the skull is not full of food or grains, it will remain stuck to his hands.


Shiva went everywhere and asked for food but the skull was never full. He finally came here and Maa Annapoorna filled the skull with grains and reversed Shiva’s curse.

It is believed that who ever visits Devi Annapoorna here will never be without food in their lives.
