WHAT IS SRI YANTRA

The Sri Yantra also known as the Sri Chakra represents all the fundamental principals of Tantric philosophy. It is known as the best or supreme existing yantra and all other yantras derive from it.

A Yantra is the symbolic representation of the Mother Goddess. It is made up of ‘linear and spatial ‘geometrical permutations’ of the Goddess in the mandala. You find yantras in many sacred geometry works and the design of the Sri Chakra/ Yantra is nine interwoven triangles,
four of which represent the male principle (Shiva) and five inverted triangles representing Shakti, the feminine principal. The nine triangles also represent nine basic elements or root substances (mula-prakritis) of the universe. In the human body they are represented as nine
substances; five from Shakti – skin, blood, flesh, fat and bone. The four from Shiva are – semen, marrow, vital energy (prana) and the individual soul.  
The place of the mother goddess is represented by the dot or bindu in the centre of the design. The dot has four legs
representing the deities responsible for the creation of all things.
Brahma – the creator is in the northeast.
Vishnu – the preserver is in the southeast.
Rudra – for withdrawal is in the southwest.
Sadasiva – for retention is in the northwest.
Surrounding this pattern are two concentric circles of lotus petals: the inner has 8 petals and the outer 16. The entire pattern is encased within a gated frame, called the “courtyard” or “earth stretch”.
An individuals spiritual journey or path to enlightenment from material
existence to ultimate ascension and enlightenment is mapped through the sri yantra, the spiritual journey is undertaken as a pilgrimage each step or elevation is an ascent to the centre.

The Sri Yantra represents the totality of existence and can be used as a tool in meditation.

पंचाग में महूरत का महत्व क्या है?

प्राचीन कला जिससे गृह चाल और नक्षत्रो की सही गणना कैसे होती थी?

Information by - Swami kevalya ji 🙏


हिन्दू धर्म में किसी भी कार्य की शुरुआत से पहले पंडित द्वारा एक विशेष मुहूर्त निकलवाया जाता है | कार्य मंगलमय और लाभदायक हो इसलिए सही वार, नक्षत्र और तिथि देखी जाती है और इसलिए पंचांग का उपयोग होता है | कौनसा दिन और समय कितना शुभ है इसकी सटीक जानकारी पंचांग के माध्यम से आसानी से


प्राप्त हो सकती है पर इसको जानना भी एक कला है क्युकी हर कोई इतनी गूढ़ गणना करने में असमर्थ होता है |
पंचांग के पाँच अंग :

1) नक्षत्र: पंचांग का पहले अंग है नक्षत्र और प्राचीन ज्योतिष शास्त्र अनुसार 27 नक्षत्र होते है पर मुहूर्त की गणना करते है एक और नक्षत्र यानी 28 वे

नक्षत्र को भी गिना जाता है जो की "अभिजीत" नक्षत्र है | सभी मांगलिक कार्य जैसे शादी, मुंडन, सगाई, गृह प्रवेश आदि से पहले नक्षत्रो का सही स्थान पर होना बहुत ज़रूरी है |

2) तिथी : पंचांग का दूसरा अंग तिथी है और यह 16 प्रकार की होती है और इनमे भी पूर्णिमां और अमावस

दो सबसे महत्वपूर्ण तिथियां होती है | यह दोनों महीने में एक बार ज़रूर आती है | हिन्दू कैलेंडर के हिसाब से एक महीने को दो भागो में बाटा जाता है जिसे कृष्णा पक्ष और शुक्ल पक्ष के नाम से जान जाता है | अमावस और पूर्णिमा के बीच के समय को शुक्ल पक्ष कहा जाता है वही पूर्णिमा से अमावस के

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
