Why orange color is used?

#Thread

 Colors have a significant part in Indian religion and culture, displaying a profound meaning that goes beyond just ornamental elements. Color is used by artists to represent the traits of deities and their garments.
Colors used correctly create an environment that should make a person happy. Red, yellow (turmeric), green from leaves, white from wheat flour, and other colors are commonly utilized in religious events. Saffron is the primary hue used in most Eastern religions and societies.
Hinduism:
Saffron — the color of Agni or fire – is the color that symbolizes all aspects of Hinduism. Fire represents knowledge-burning ignorance since it burns away the darkness and brings light.
Fire also represents the spirit of Yagna (Sacred Fire Ritual), which is necessary for Self-knowledge. As a result, the fire altar is considered a unique symbol of old Vedic customs.
It is a color of purity that symbolizes religious abstinence, purging, and the purity that results as a result. Saints and ascetics, those who have given up the world, wear this color. Saffron is a color that represents the search for Godhead knowledge.
Saffron is made up of the colors of the Sun, Mars, and Jupiter in symbolism, and it represents the following:

Using information and someone who dispels it to drive the desire (Mars) for Truth or Moksha, emancipation (Sun) (Jupiter).
It was usual for sages to transport fire from one ashram to the next. The inconvenient task of transporting a burning substance across long distances may have inspired the saffron flag symbol. Saffron flags, sometimes triangular & forked, flutter atop most Sikh and Hindu temples.
It's the color of holy men and ascetics who have given up their worldly possessions. Wearing the color represents a search for brightness. The Rajputs, a warrior caste, use this color as their battle flag.
Buddhism:
Saffron is the hue of illumination, the highest degree of perfection in Buddhism. In the 5th century B.C., the Buddha and his followers established the saffron robe colors to be worn by monks.
The robe and its color symbolize renunciation of the outside world and dedication to the order. The candidate monk, accompanied by his master, presents himself to the monastery's monks in his own clothes, holding his new robe under his arm, and asks to join the order.
He then takes his vows, dons his robes, and walks out into the world with his begging bowl. Following that, he spends his mornings begging and his afternoons contemplating and studying in a forest, garden, or monastery.
Sikhism:
Orange or saffron appears in Sikhism in the form of Nishan Sahibs (the Sikh flag), Panj Pyaray's cholas (warrior dress), and Sikh turbans. This is the color of intense happiness and contentment. It is capable of absorbing shocks, unpleasant experiences, and trauma.
It's about letting go of whatever is holding us back or isn't serving us well. Orange represents social elements of existence, as well as connection, a sense of community, and belonging.
Saffron is also one of the three colors that make up the Indian flag, and it represents bravery and selflessness.
India's past is littered with valiant and devoted liberation fighters. Saffron symbolizes the nation's power and willingness to give everything for the sake of its people.

Sri, Boomi, Neela, Mahalakshmi, Narayani samedha Sri Narayana Perumal, at Sri Pancha Lakshmi Narayana Temple, West Mambalam, Baroda Street, Chennai.

Here Perumal is found with five Thayars unlike most temples where He is seen with Sridevi and Bhoodevi.


Sridevi, Bhoodevi and Neeladevi are found on either side of the Perumal and Mahalakshmi is found as Thani Nachiyar.

The fifth Lakshmi, Narayani, is found in the heart of Narayana Perumal.

Since Perumal has the Thayar as part of His thirumeni (body), He is adorned with a waist belt (Oddiyanam) and anklets on His feet.

The Perumal looks resplendent in His Paramapatha Kolam and those worshipping Him in this form are said to be relieved of all their sins and can reach the lotus feet of the Lord at the end of their lives.

This Perumal has been in worship for centuries in a private household of an industrialist and based on the divine instructions received, they have made worship of these deities public.

The grace of this Perumal has spread far and wide and this place is often very crowded.

#NamaBengaluru

There's no other way to explore the flavors of a city through a walk with our favorite drink in hands. Experiencing the hot spots, indulging the local cuisine and bargaining with street vendors makes us one with the locals. One such hot spot is SHIVOHAM TEMPLE.


Located at Old Airport Road of Bangalore, this was built in '95 that features a giant 65'Feet Shiva statue.

The unique modern-day architecture is to be applauded as the entire place is encircled within a small mall. The entrance to the almighty is like the journey through the caves which has the jyotirlingas in respective miniature versions. We are taken a back when we see lord Shiva

in his meditative posture with his damaru and trishul also depiciteing the holy river Ganges flowing out of the locks on the other side. The miniature amaranth type shiv linga Is crowd's favorite apart from the 35'Feet Ganapathy Statue as well.

Though the over the period of years this place has turned into a commercial zone like a theme park but this definitely is one of the go to places in nama Bangalore as the surrounding areas and the local flavour we get to see is abundant.

The mention of Chanakya would be lacking from ancient Indian history. Indian educator, economist, lawyer, royal counsellor, and philosopher Chanakya, also referred to as Kautilya, was also a teacher. He also went by the name Vishnugupta.

#Thread


He is credited with writing the Arthashastra, an Indian political book. In India, he is also credited with founding political science and economics.

the traditional economist Chanakya. The Maurya dynasty is credited with his contributions to the development of classical economics. But his creative output vanished around the end of the Gupta Empire and wasn't found again until the 20th century.

Along with writing intellectual works, he also helped Chandragupta Maurya, the first Mauryan Emperor, become emperor. Chanakya was so shrewd and knowledgeable that he managed to make a commoner the king.

He consequently had a significant impact on the Maurya Empire. He also served as Chandragupta and Chandragupta's son Bindusara's principal counsellor.

When the Sri Chakram visits our home, the full might of the cosmos is present. We don't need to be afraid because of that.
#Thread


Because the intrinsic strength of the Sri Chakra can range from fifty years to five hundred years, it depends on the metal—panchaloha—with which it is now created. It also depends on the Upasaka or Guru performing the prana-pratishta.

That indicates that it will safeguard you whether or not you perform Pooja by keeping it in an auspicious location.

Having stated that, once you perform the Pooja for fifteen minutes every day, we will also email the script because we have previously supplied it to many people.

However, for those who are interested in receiving the Sri Yantram, we will offer the script in either Telugu or English. If you choose to follow the script, it will take you 15 minutes of your valuable time.

Even if you are looted, never ever loot anyone (and never loot back in return).
Instead remember Shiva Smarahara (destroyer of memories) and forget your pain/ suffering .. therefore become

Why do O say:
“Never loot back in return”?
Ans:
See, you will perpetuate the cycle of action and reaction if you loot back, instead if at all possible, utilise all your energy in completely forgetting all that you felt.

It’s not important to you.. because death loots all!

IMPORTANCE OF SATYA NARAYAN KATHA AND ITS ORIGIN.

We all have heard and read the Satyanarayan katha. But none of us dont know the original stories that Shatanand or Sadhu or Kalavati must have heard. Also, as a habit we hear or read this katha


but dont know the proper way it should be conducted.

We find its mention in Skanda puraan(Reva khand) and Bhavishya Puraan(Pratisarg parva).
Both Bhagwatam and Gita call Bhagwan Narayan as Satv or Truth. So Satyanarayan denotes this name as the one which is Truth incarnate.

The story began in Naimisharanya when Vyasji asked Sutji about a way to eliminate all the sorrows and fulfill all the desires and about who is the devta who can grant these at the same time.

So Suutji first prayed to Bhagwan Satyanarayan who is no one else but Vishnu ji.

Then he remembered all his avatars.After that he narrated the story of Narad. Once while visiting Mrityulok, Naradji was pained to see the sufferings of People around. He was deeply moved by these sufferings and wanted to know the means by which we could rid ourselves from these.

So he went to Vishnu ji and after paying his respects stood in front of him. Naradji narrated the purpose of his visit.

So Bhagwan Vishnu said to him that in Satyug and Tretayug, Bhagwan eliminates sorrow in Vishnuswarup. In Dwapar he assumes different forms to help people.

Four hours south of Aswan in Lower Nubia, right by the Nile, is a region dotted with temple complexes built more than 3,000 years ago. Some like the temples of Amada, Derr, and Beit el-Wali go as far back as 1500 BC.


2/102
A little further south, not far from the border with Sudan, is another complex dedicated to Ramses II, Hathor, and Nefertari in the village of Ipsambul, better known locally as Abu Sunbul and internationally as Abu Simbel. These go back to the 13th century BC.


3/102
Djeser-Djeseru, also known as the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut in Upper Egypt also dates to 1400 BC. Over 500 years older is the nearby Mentuhotep II, also a mortuary temple. Both were dedicated to the cult of Amun Ra, besides their respective pharaohs.


4/102
Far older is the Ġgantija complex of Malta. Going as far back as 3600 BC, this one comprises of two temples entirely made of stone and enclosed in a stone wall. From the figures therein, it's understood to be a site of some kind of a fertility cult worship.


5/102
Dating from the same period are the limestone megaliths of Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra, both said to have once hosted ritualistic sacrifices as part of the same fertility cult worship as found in the Ġgantija complex. Malta has some of the oldest temple complexes in Europe.

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.
