पाञ्चजन्य भगवान विष्णु का शंख है। विष्णु के अवतार श्रीकृष्ण पाञ्चजन्य नामक एक शंख रखते थे ऐसा वर्णन महाभारत में प्राप्त होता है। श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता जो कि महाभारत का अङ्ग है उस में वासुदेव द्वारा कुरुक्षेत्र युद्ध के दौरान इसका इस्तेमाल किया जाना बताया गया है।

महाभारत में श्रीकृष्ण के पास पाञ्चजन्य,अर्जुन के पास देवदत्त,युधिष्ठिर के पास अनंतविजय,भीष्म के पास पोंड्रिक,नकुल के पास सुघोष, सहदेव के पास मणिपुष्पक था। सभी के शंखों का महत्व और शक्ति अलग-अलग थी।

शंखों की शक्ति और चमत्कारों का वर्णन महाभारत और पुराणों में मिलता है।

शंख को विजय,समृद्धि,सुख,शांति, यश, कीर्ति और लक्ष्मी का प्रतीक माना गया है।सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात यह है कि शंख नाद का प्रतीक है।शंख ध्वनि शुभ मानी गई है।हालांकि प्राकृतिक रूप से शंख कई प्रकार के होते हैं।इनके 3 प्रमुख प्रकार हैं-दक्षिणावृत्ति शंख, मध्यावृत्ति शंख तथा वामावृत्ति शंख।

पाञ्चजन्य का रहस्य : पाञ्चजन्य बहुत ही दुर्लभ शंख है। समुद्र मंथन के दौरान इस पाञ्चजन्य शंख की उत्पत्ति हुई थी। समुद्र मंथन से प्राप्त 14 रत्नों में से 6वां रत्न शंख था।
श्रीकृष्ण के गुरुपुत्र पुनरदत्त को एक बार एक दैत्य उठा ले गया। उसी को लेने के लिए वे दैत्य नगरी गए।

वहां उन्होंने देखा कि एक शंख में शंखासुर नाम का दैत्य सोया है।उन्होंने दैत्य को मारकर शंख को अपने पास रखा और फिर जब उन्हें पता चला कि उनका गुरुपुत्र तो यमपुरी चला गया तो वे भी यमपुरी गए।वहां यमदूतों ने उन्हें अंदर नहीं जाने दिया तब उन्होंने शंखनाद किया जिसके चलते यमलोक हिलने लगा।

14 Reasons for Sadness According to Mahabharata

-

A Long Thread

After the Kuru war, in the moment of a victory that has come at a great cost, Yudhishthira goes to meet Bhishma, who is in his dying breaths.

Yudhisthira’s inquisitive dialogue with Bhishma, which takes place here, spans Shanti and Anushasana parvans of the Mahabharata.

In this dialogue, Yudhishthira asks Bhishma, "Why does one feel sorrow? why does one feel pain?"

Bhishma’s answer is comprehensive, it nearly spans 18 shlokas. The reasons he enlists are both intrinsic and extrinsic in nature.

Reason 1 –

Despite of worldly comforts, when one is in a foreign land, away from home and away from the loved ones, one feels a gnawing loneliness. That makes them long and yearn.

(In Welsh language, there is a beautiful word that captures this longing for home – hiraeth)

Reason 2 –

May be because of personal flaws, but when a person is deserted by their friends and loved ones, then the home itself feels like a foreign land, and that thus makes the person sad.

“CHIDAMBARA RAHASYAM”

**The Secret of Chidambaram Nataraja Temple, Tamil Nadu

Bhagwan Shiv (Nataraja) as the cosmic dancer, inspired the Chola kings (10th century) to build this temple with stone and gold. A silver Nataraja, Not Shivalinga, is the principal icon in this temple

The temple has stood the test of time and is considered to be among the unique temples in the world.
It is said that the temple holds a grave secret; which is famously known as the 'Chidambara Ragasiyam'.

After 8 years of R & D, Western scientists have proved that

Bhagwan Nataraja’s big toe lies at the Centre Point of World's Magnetic Equator.

An Ancient Tamil Scholar ‘Thirumoolar’ has proved this 👆🏼Five thousand years ago!

His treatise "Thirumandiram" is a wonderful Scientific guide for the whole world.

Chidambaram temple embodies the following characteristics

1) This temple is located at the Center Point of world's Magnetic Equator.

2) Of the "Pancha bootha" i.e. 5 temples, Chidambaram denotes the Skies. Kalahasthi denotes Wind. Kanchi Ekambareswar denotes land.

All these 3 temples are located in a straight line at 79 degrees 41 minutes Longitude. This can be verified using Google, it is An amazing fact & astronomical miracle!

3)  Chidambaram temple is based on the Human Body having 9 Entrances denoting 9 Openings of the body.

I took Ogilvy's course on Behavioural Economics and Comsumer psychology.

Here are the 10 important theory's I learned from it which you'd be a fool to miss out on:

Loss aversion theory:

The negative psychological impact we feel from losing something is about twice as strong as the positive impact of gaining the same thing.

Finding ₹100$ would makes us happy
Losing ₹100$ would makes us 2X unhappy

Sentence Framing:

The way you frame your sentences is very important. Make them forget about the negative thing by reiterating something which might be positive. We have a stronger bias for things that sound positive.

10% chance of death Vs 90% chance of survival

Goal Gradient Hypothesis:

Humans are hardwired for instant gratification.
as people get closer to the reward, they speed their behavior. So, reward people sooner instead of later

eg: Don't make a goal of reading 52 books a year, make it 1 chapter per day.

Mental Anchoring:

It's the phenomenon where our decisions are heavily based on the 1st piece of information we receive, regardless of whether the information is relevant or not.

Make the first piece of information powerful.

Why Do We Chant ‘Shanti’ Three Times?

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय ।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।
मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय ॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

(Meaning: Om, lead me from unreal (transitory material existence) to the real (Eternal Self),

From darkness (of ignorance) to light (of wisdom, truth, spiritual knowledge),
From the fear of death to the knowledge of immortality.
Om Peace, peace, peace!

If you attend any Hindu religious ritual, a Vedic prayer or a traditional Yoga class,

you will find that the Shanti mantra (the peace chant) is usually chanted at the end of the ceremony or the class.

(from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28)
As you will notice, the concluding line is the chanting of the word Shanti (peace) three times.

The question that sometimes gets asked is – why is shanti chanted three times? Is there a significance to it?

Here is a brief explanation as to why we chant shanti three times.

Our ancient scriptures tell us that one of the main objectives of life is to remove three kinds of

obstacles or to eliminate three kinds of suffering.

In the Samkhya Pravachana Sutram, the very first sutra states:

"अथ त्रिविधदुःखात्यन्त निवृत्तिः अत्यन्त पुरुषार्थः" (1.1)

“Permanent and complete elimination of the three-fold suffering is the supreme purpose of life".

A German's View on I$l@m

Very interesting and worth reading because this is by far the best explanation of the Mu$l!m te₹₹orist situation I have ever read.
His references to past history are accurate and clear...

The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist, - a man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, and owned a number of large industries and estates...

👇👇

When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide and shape our attitude toward the present day I$lam!c fanaticism. He said,
"Very few people were true Nazis, but many enjoyed the return of German pride the Nazis brought to the German nation,

and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, the Nazis were in control of the nation, they owned us, and we had lost control.

Suddenly they plunged the country into a devastating and costly world war, and by the end of the war we had woken up to a new reality - our world of comfort, peace and freedom had come to an end. My family lost everything.

Saptapadi

The most essential rite (Sanskrit: rītī) of a Hindu marriage ceremony is Saptapadi (English: seven steps, saptapadī). Saptapadi is a Sanskrit term that means "seven steps." The wedded couple walks seven steps after tying the Mangalsutra, which is known as Saptapadi.

The couple legally becomes husband and wife after the seventh step.
Hindu wedding rituals: During Saath Phere, the bride and groom exchange their marital vows while circumambulating (walking around) the sacred fire seven times.

This is because the bride and groom exchange marriage vows and hope for a happy married life together.

1. The first marriage vow, out of seven, is a petition to the Lord for nutrition and nourishment for the Hindu bride and groom.

2. Hindu Bride and Groom: The second marriage promise is for strength in sickness, health, good times, and terrible times.

3. For the Hindu Bride and Groom - The third marriage promise is for the Hindu bride and groom's prosperity.

4. For Hindu Bride and Groom - The fourth pledge is to stand by their families in good times and bad.

Karni Mata Mandir, Deshnoke, Bikaner, Rajasthan...

Karni Mata Mandir is located in Deshnoke, Bikaner, Rajasthan. Karni Mata is considered to be the incarnation of Jagdamba Mata. According to some legends, Karni Mata is considered to be the form of Hinglaj Devi.
@LostTemple7

Karni Mata is the Kuldevi of the Bikaner royal family. It is said that the princely states of Bikaner and Jodhpur were established with her blessings. Rats living in the Karni Mata Mandir are considered to be the children of Karni Mata. According to the legend of Karni Mata.

Once, Karni Mata's step-son (her sister Gulab and her husband's son) drowned while trying to drink water in Kapil Sarovar located in Kolayat. When Karni Mata came to know about this, she prayed to Yamdev, the god of death, to revive her son.

At first, Yamraj refused, but later he was forced to revive him in the form of a mouse. There are more than 20,000 rats present in this Mandir. The rats living here are called Kaba. The prasad offered to the Karni Mata is first eaten by rats and then it is distributed.

The number of rats can be measured from the fact that to reach the main Mandir, You have to walk by dragging your feet. If a mouse comes under your foot and gets injured. So it is considered inauspicious.

Thread on decoding KAMASUTRA

Kamasutra is a book written by Rishi Vātsyāyana in about 3rd century. It is famous for its erotic mentions and is considered as a controversial book.

1. Origin:

After creating the universe lord Brahma created a text, TRIVERG,

which had 3 subjects- Dharma, Artha & Kama, for the well being of humans.

Rishi Manu used the subject dharma and created ‘Dharmshastra’, Viraspati used the subject artha and created ‘Arthshastra’ and shiva’s nandi used the subject kama and created, ‘Kamashastra’ which had a

more than 1000 chapters.

Later, all the 3 shastras were simplified by various Rishi. Out of those Rishis, Vātsyāyana simplified the Kāmashastra and created kamasutra.

2. Is it a sex manual or pornography?

Well, Kamashastra has 7 chapters, in which only 20% of total text talks

about sex, which I’ll explain later but, first lets come to the rest 80%-

A) first chapter, which is ‘Sadharanam’, focuses about, ‘What should be the AIMS OF THE LIFE OF A PERSON. It says, a person should first understand what his/her dharma is. Dharma doesn’t mean religion, it

means ‘Righteousness duty’, which can be understood by taking education (vidya). When a person understood its dharma, He/she should starting making economy (Artha) by using dharma and education. A person having the knowledge of dhama and has a certain amount of economy, should

For a very long time we had heard that Mahmud Ghazni attacked India from 1001 AD- 1027 AD but DO YOU KNOW ?

It was Maharaja Jayapala of Hindu Shahi Dynasty who decided to invade Ghazni twice.

During the period of 870 CE the Hindu Shahi lost Kabul and were forced to retreat. This temporary loss of the great Hindu Shahi kingdom was the beginning of another chapter in the medieval history of the Indian Sub-continent.

The introduction of the Turk warlords completely changed the mentality and the conduct of war. The establishment of this new Muslim Turk authority in Ghazni completely changed the policy of the Muslims.

Under the Turks,the raids on the Hindu Shahi’s and later on northern India became even more aggressive and lethal. The first Hindu king who faced this wave of the Turks was Jayapala, who fought till his last breath in order to protect his kingdom of people.

The Hindu Shahi after 870 CE transferred their capital to Udabhandapura as they had suffered heavy losses from the war against the Arabs and also from the defeat they suffered from a Turkish leader Yaqub ibn Layth.

🌺Bhagwan Vishwakarma: The Architect of the Gods.🌺

Vishwakarma or Vishvakarman (Sanskrit: विश्वकर्मा, means 'all maker').He is a craftsman deity and the divine architect of the gods. In the early texts, the craftsman deity was known as 'Tvastar'.

The word 'Vishwakarma' was originally used as an epithet for any powerful deity.
However, in many later traditions, Vishwakarma became the name of the craftsman god.
He is also the presiding god of all engineers, architects, builders, carpenters, and craftsmen.

He is often stated to be the son of Brahma, but it differs in many other texts. In the Nirukta and Brahmanas he is stated to be the son of Bhuvana. In the Mahabharata and Harivansha, he is the son of Vasu Prabhasa and Yoga-siddha. In the Puranas, he is the son of Vastu.

Vishwakarma is the father of three daughters named Barhishmati, Samjna and Chitrangada. In other texts Vishvakarma is presented as the husband of Gritachi. When identified with Tvastar, Vishvakarma is also described to be the father of a son named Vishvarupa.

The term Visvakarman was originally used as an epithet for any supreme god and as an attribute of Indra and the Sun. The name Visvakarman occurs five times in the tenth book of the Rigveda.

According to Sanatana Dharma, all men are somatic descendants of The Gods (via the lineage of our forefather Manu Vaivasvata, descendant of God Vivasvant [Surya])

It is because of this lineage, our ultimate ancestors are The Gods & we fulfill this relationship with their worship

Mankind very literally is divine born, descendant of The Gods in the lineage of our all-father Manu.

Therefore, the Mahabharata says

मार्तण्डस्य मनुर्धीमानजायत सुतः प्रभुः
मनोर्वंशो मानवानां ततोऽयं प्रथितोऽभवत्

Translation..+

"To Lord Vivasvant was born a son Yama. To Lord Yama was born Mārtaṇḍa. The wise father Manu was born to Lord Mārtaṇḍa. The race [vaṃshaj] born from Manu is the Mānavas . It is this clan that became famous as the clan of mankind."

Then the Mbh says,

ब्रह्मक्षत्रादयस्तस्मान्मनोर्जातास्तु मानवाः

"Brāhmaṇas, Kṣatriyas, Vaiśyas, Shūdras - all these were descended from Manu. Therefore they are Mānavas."

In India, Manu was also the foremost divine lawgiver of mankind. In Greece, King Minos of Crete (Son of Zeus & Europa) was the divine lawgiver to mankind who received the law from Zeus.

Plato says this in
