IMPORTANCE OF PADMAPURAN AND ITS BENEFITS.

Next Brahmaji describes Padmapuraan. Just as five senses adorn our body similarly this Puraan is divided into five parts. This Puraan has fifty five thousand shlokas. In this book Rishi Pulastya describes the principles of nature

in chronological order and discusses dharma with Bhishma. The subjects include the importance of Pushkar tirth, the Brahmyagya, types of vrat, marriage of Parvati, death of Tarkasur, importance of cow and Kalkeya vadh. It also mentions grah puja and types of daan.
This is the part of Shrishtikhand.

The Bhumikhand part discusses about the story of Shivsharma based on respect to parents, stories about Suvrat, Ven, Pruthu, Sunitha, Dharma, Nahush, Yayati, Guritirth, Jaimini, Ashok Sundari,
Demon Huund, Kamoda, demon Vihuund, dialogue between Rishi Chyavan and Kunjal.

The next part is Swarg khand which starts with a dialogue between Muni Sauti and other Maharishi's about the evolution of earth and also refers to the placing of different loks and tirtha's.
It also describes the origin of river Narmada and its tirtha's, story of Kalindi, Kashi, Gaya and Prayag, dialogue between rishi Vyas and Jaimini, Samudra manthan and Bhishma Panchak.

Pataal khand is about Shri Ram, Pulastya vansh, glory of Jagannath, Vrindavan, Shri Hari leela,
Krishnavtar, Shivshambhu, Dadhichi, importance of Bhasm, Gautama, Shiv Gita, Devratsutopakhyan, glory of Puraan and Bharadwaj ashram.

In Uttarkhand we find Parvatopakhyan by Shiva to Parvati, Jalandhar, Shrishaila glory and the story of King Sagar.
It also tells us about the piousness of Ganga, Kashi, Prayag and Gaya. Besides these it describes the importance of Annadaan, Mahadwadashi, twenty four Ekadashi, Vishnu dharma, Kartik vrat, Maagh snan, Tirtha's of Jambudweep, Sabhramati(Sabarmati), Narsingh, Devsharma, Bhagwat,
Bhakti, and importance of Gita. Next we find the story of Indrprasth, mantraratna, Tripadavibhuti, Matsysa avtaar, the divinity of Ram naam, description of Vishnu Vaibhav story by Maharishi Bhrigu.

Whoever reads or listens to Padmapuraan gets all his wishes fulfilled.
Whoever gets this book written and gives it to Brahmin respectfully on Jyeshtha purnima will earn the respect of all devtas.

Rig Ved 1.40.2

Here marudgans are requested to help the yajmans at the time of war. Our actual war is with ignorance. We will become truly powerful and able bodied only after defeating ignorance. The yajmans request marudgans to make them effective rather than

make them lacking in something. Let their nature and effectiveness be divine. Let their Praan and Pragya { knowledge} become capable. Mind will be enriched only when it is satisfied. Unsatisfied and sad mind cannot carry out the work of Paramarth.

Only quiet and reclusive mind can think of Paramarth. Those who are unattached can only experience constant mind(स्थिर बुद्धि). The one with determined insight only can know their true self. This is what we wish Parmatma to grant us.

First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic


Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
"Hinduism was one of the world's most easy-going faith traditions, famed for it's non-persecutory history."

I can assure you, it is NOT.

It is neither easy-going, nor non-persecutory. In fact it is the very opposite.

Thread.


Modern Hinduism is a British colonial concept, created in concert with Brahmins, who are at the "apex" of the caste system. The word "Hindoo" in fact, is of Persian origin, meaning a person who lives in the Indus valley.

Colonialists who attempted to study Indian religion in the 18th century (NOT, at the time, Hinduism) were baffled by it. Strata of people living distinctly (the caste system) with overlapping gods didn't fit into their Judeo-Christian understanding of religion.

Which has an ecclesiastical authority, a holy book etc., which Indian religions lacked. In studying "The Hindoo", colonialists prioritized textual sources of knowledge, which is where Brahmins, the priestly caste with a monopoly over education/text come in.

Brahminism was a distinct "religion" (although i don't really want to use the term in this way) that was frankly terrorized of other castes. In fact, the very basis of Brahminism is oppression. Brahmins had scholars who recorded *Brahminical* canon textually.
