Those who complain that women have no right to perform sacrifices on their own must remember that men too have no right to the same without a wife.

If they know this truth they would not make the allegation that Hindu shaastras looked down upon women.

A man can perform sacrifices only with his wife. He does them for the well-being of all mankind and for his own inner purity.

It is for this purpose that, after the samavartana following the completion of his student-bachelorhood, he goes through the samskaar called marriage.

Marriage or vivaaha is known as "सहधर्मचारिणीसमप्रयोग". It means (roughly) union with a wife together with whom a man practises dharma.

The clear implication is that carnal pleasure is not its chief purpose, but the pursuit of Dharma.

The shaastras do not ask a man to pursue dharma all by himself but require him to take a helpmate for it.

The wife is called "dharma-patni", "सहधर्मचारिणी", thus underlining her connection with dharma, and not with kama or sensual pleasure.

This is the proof of the high esteem in which the shaastras hold women. The celibate-student and the ascetic alike follow the dharma of their respective aashramas (stages of life) not in association with anyone else.

MEANING, EXPLANATION & INTERPRETATION OF YOUR DREAMS, ALSO ITS EFFECTS IN COMING DAYS

Sigmund Freud had explained the interpretation of dreams in the last century, but our scriptures explained this thousands of years back.

What is the significance and meaning of our dreams. These are explained in Kanv shakha of our scriptures.
Dreams in the first quarter(पहर) of the day give result in one year,

if the dreams are in the second quarter(प्रहर) the results are in eight months, for third the dreams are fulfilled in three months, the fourth one takes one fortnight, the dreams of dawn take ten days, morning dreams after you awaken after dream are fulfilled forthright.

If you dream during your tense and worrisome period those are never realized. People with Negative traits never get their dreams fulfilled. Also your dreams will never be realized after you get up from a dream and then go to sleep again. Never narrate your dreams to others.

You will gain wealth if you see the following things in your dream- cow,elephant, horse, palace, climbing mountains or trees, eating and crying or injured.

You will attain more land if you see someone
singing with veena in his hands.

The Lost Tale of Vellayi Gopuram, Srirangam | TN

#Thread

Vellayi means white in Tamil and named after Devadasi  by the name of Vellayi . She had, centuries ago,  sacrificed her precious life with the sole intent to protect  the sacred Murti of Namperumal in the Garbhagraha

from the Delhi Sultanate forces who had invaded the temple town to loot the treasures. The forces had their eyes focused on the idol of Namperumal, which they believed was made of pure ‘Abaranji' gold. Fearing that the forces would capture Acharya and grab the Murti, Vellayi,

being smart  as she was,  performed a dance before the commander of the forces, thus allowing more time for Pillai Lokacharya to escape with the idol. After the dance, she told the commander that she knew where the Murti was kept and took the commander to the top of the goupram .

There she asked him to look down at a particular place where it was kept and before he could blink his eyes,  she pushed him down from the tower and k!lled him. To avoid being caught 
and  humiliated by the Muslim forces, chanting the name  of  Ranganathar, she jumped to death

from the goupuram. Thus the Temple is named after her and till date it’s painted White!! Her timely sacrifice went down  in the history of this  famous Hindu temple and thus pious and valiant Vellayi, a devotee of Ranganathar  has become an immortal figure!

India’s Unsung Women Freedom Fighter- Rani Chennamma

"If we live, we will live like free people"

This was Kittoor Chennamma's message to the British agent in South India.

The year was 1824.

As expected, the agent John Thackeray was not pleased, -

He marched to Kittoor with his army, surrounded the fort... and asked Rani Chennamma to surrender.

It is said that Rani Chennamma donned her warrior attire came out with her army. A fierce battle ensued and the British army was reportedly defeated... John Thackeray was killed.

This was a big blow to the Britishers.

Much before the revolt of 1857, there were several lone battles fought in the country and many brave women warriors led these battles and even defeated the British armies.

One such valiant freedom fighter was Rani Chennamma of Kittoor- a kingdom near present day Belgaum in Karnataka.

All was well in the thriving business destination of Kittoor. But misfortune fell upon the queen She lost her husband, king Mallasuraj,-

and after some time, her only son also died.

The British sensed an opportunity to capture her kingdom. It is said that Rani adopted another boy Shivalingappa and announced him as the next heir to the throne.

But the Britishers were not pleased.

The old man in the right in this picture can be easily mistaken for a great priest !!! No!  He is Dr. C P. Mathew who was the Head of the Oncology Department at Kottayam Medical College and later principal. On the 'right' is Brahmashree Suryan Subramanian Bhattathiri. 🙏

Dr Mathew was the first oncology professor in Kerala, Head of the Oncology Department at Kottayam Medical College and then the principal. Later when he retired he was a flying doctor & visiting professor of allopathic cancer treatment at universities in more than 50 countries.

At the age of 60, he decided to unlearn everything he had learnt earlier and accepted a _Lada Vaidyan_ (a physician of traditional tribal medical system), whom he met on the street, as his guru.

Then this great doctor saved tens of thousands of cancer patients from death using the neo-pagan Siddha medicine he learned from the late _lada_ guru. Patients he saved include many rejects ftom  the Mayo Clinic in America.

He was an in-depth student on Indian cultural texts, including the Vedas and the Upanishads.  What's more, he received the Upanayana from Suryakaladi Mana, famous for its "Tantric rituals" and spent the rest of his life as a Sanatana Dharma Acharya.

Speed Of Light In The ‘Rig Veda’

As per Modern Science the speed of light is 186,000 miles/second

Now read it carefully & get to know the Power of Vedic Science👇

Speed of light was known to Indians in Vedic period and was determined accurately in Rig Veda thousands of yrs ago

It was further elaborated by Sayana ( An influential commentator on the Vedas) in the 14th century AD in his commentaries on Rig Veda.

Many years after that, The velocity of Light was calculated by Maxwell in the 19th century,

In Rig-Veda, there is a hymn which is incredibly close to the information about the speed of light.

तथा च स्मर्यते योजनानां सहस्त्रं द्वे द्वे शते द्वे च योजने एकेन निमिषार्धेन क्रममाण नमोऽस्तुते ।।

"tatha ca smaryate yojananam. sahasre dve dve sate dve ca yojane
ekena nimishardhena kramaman
Namostute."

This means “It is remembered here that Sun (light) traverses 2,202 yojanas in half a nimisha.”

**Nimisharda = half of a nimisha

**In the vedas 'Yojana' is a unit of - Distance and 'Nimisha' is a unit of - Time.

'Arthasastra' defines A Yojana as being equal to 8,000 dhanus, which is equivalent to 9.09 miles

Lucknow or #Laxmanavati ?

टीले वाली मस्जिद या लक्ष्मण टीला ?

According to the so-called historians Lucknow was settled by mulzim nawabs & they called it as "Nawabo ka Seher"

But did you know what the real name of Lucknow was ?

How the hindu history of lucknow changed in the history of Nawabs?

History of lucknow has been associated with the Ramayana period, Lucknow was formely named after Laxmana, the younger brother of Shri Rama i.e. Laxmanavati or Laxmanapur.

According to the information available in various websites #लक्ष्मण_टीला which is located in lucknow, now known as #टीले_वाली_मस्जिद , the cave of Shehnag near this Laxman Tila was demolished by Khilji and later masjid was built by Aurangzeb at this place.

According to the research done by P.Noak, there was a hole in the earth above the Lakshman Tila in which Hindus used to offer water and flowers,because according to theirs, this hole goes to the head of Sheshnag, according to shashtras he kept the whole earth on his head.

In June 27, 2018, 2 BJP councilors Rajneesh Gupta and Ramakrishna Yadav again asked for the Mūrti of Laxman to be erected in front of this masjid, then the Imam of the mosque oppose him by saying that it may create disturbance for mulzims in offering namaz and

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".

🌺Vastu Shastra: The ancient Science of Home and Prosperity building.🌺

Vastu Shastra, the ancient system of building construction incorporates traditional Hindu beliefs. The designs of Vastu Shastra aims to integrate architecture with the environment, the relative functions...

...of various parts of the buildings and antique theories operating symmetrical patterns (yantra) and maneuvering placements.

Basically,Vastu Shastra is the literal part of Vastu Vidya–the wider knowledge about building construction & design scheme models from earliest history.

It is not something that deals with permanent procedures and plans but instead defines a theory of various designs, the pool of thoughts and perceptions, with different types of layout, figures, and sketches.

These ideas are mostly the collections of the internal decor,building outlook, gardening, and house plan.
The term Vastu is composed of two Sanskrit words ‘Vastu’ and ‘Shastra’where Vastu means house, habitation, building on land or ground and Shastra means teaching or doctrine.

Hence, Vastu Shastra is the doctrine of designing houses.
Vastu Shastra is an old scientific theory that is over 5000 years old. The texts on Vastu Shastra can be found back in 1500-1000 BCE.
