हर शुभ कार्य से पहले क्यों बनाया जाता है स्वास्तिक, जानिए इसका कारण और रहस्य?

स्वस्तिक अत्यन्त प्राचीन काल से भारतीय संस्कृति में मंगल और शुभता का प्रतीक माना जाता रहा है। हिंदू धर्म में किसी भी शुभ कार्य से पहले स्वास्तिक का चिन्ह अवश्य बनाया जाता है। स्वास्तिक शब्द सु+अस+क

शब्दों से मिलकर बना है। 'सु' का अर्थ अच्छा या शुभ, 'अस' का अर्थ 'सत्ता' या 'अस्तित्व' और 'क' का अर्थ 'कर्त्ता' या करने वाले से है। इस प्रकार 'स्वस्तिक' शब्द में किसी व्यक्ति या जाति विशेष का नहीं, अपितु सम्पूर्ण विश्व के कल्याण या 'वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्' की भावना निहित है। 'स्वस्तिक'

अर्थात् 'कुशलक्षेम या कल्याण का प्रतीक ही स्वस्तिक है। स्वस्तिक में एक दूसरे को काटती हुई दो सीधी रेखाएँ होती हैं, जो आगे चलकर मुड़ जाती हैं। इसके बाद भी ये रेखाएँ अपने सिरों पर थोड़ी और आगे की तरफ मुड़ी होती हैं। स्वस्तिक की यह आकृति दो प्रकार की हो सकती है। प्रथम

स्वस्तिक, जिसमें रेखाएँ आगे की ओर इंगित करती हुई हमारे दायीं ओर मुड़ती हैं। इसे 'स्वस्तिक' कहते हैं। यही शुभ चिह्न है, जो हमारी प्रगति की ओर संकेत करता है।स्वस्तिक को ऋग्वेद की ऋचा में सूर्य का प्रतीक माना गया है और उसकी चार भुजाओं को चार दिशाओं की उपमा दी गई है।

सिद्धान्तसार नामक ग्रन्थ में उसे विश्व ब्रह्माण्ड का प्रतीक चित्र माना गया है। उसके मध्य भाग को विष्णु की कमल नाभि और रेखाओं को ब्रह्माजी के चार मुख, चार हाथ और चार वेदों के रूप में निरूपित किया गया है। अन्य ग्रन्थों में चार युग, चार वर्ण, चार आश्रम एवं धर्म, अर्थ, काम और मोक्ष

🌺Mutilated but still standing tall, the incredible sculptures of Martand Sun Temple, Anantnag, Kashmir.🌺

The research and related archaeological findings done on the ruins of this magnificent temple dedicated to ‘Surya’, suggest that this temple was a pinnacle of

Kashmiri Temple architecture,which is a skilled blending of the Gandharan, Gupta and Greek styles of architecture.

The style of construction of the temple and the artistry exhibited in its construction was considered as rare among contemporary architecture.

The temple was constructed with a colonnaded courtyard with Greek style pillars, stretching 220 feet long and 142 feet wide, incorporating many smaller shrines.

The main shrine (‘Garbhagriha’) is the centralised structure with a possible pyramidal top, the most

common feature of the temples in Kashmir.

The inner walls of the mandapa which leads to the Garbhagriha (now without main deity Surya - The Sun God) is decorated with smaller sub shrines for other gods, such as Vishnu, and river Goddess Ganga and Yamuna on either side.

Some other defaced deities also adorn the inner mandapa.

Many sculptures on the outer walls and basement are not beyond recognition as they were completely mutilated and eroded due to the course of weather.

Which rishis developed this and why?

Vastu is derived from the Word Vasti, which means place of residing or house. The origin of Vastu can be traced to centuries back.

We live surrounded by five elements of nature and energy of various type created by them. On an open ground these elements or energy fields operate freely,in complete equilibrium. When a structure is placed in this energy field this equilibrium is affected and has to be restored.

Vedic Maharishis always wanted to ensure the happiness and prosperity of all the living beings whether human beings or the environment around them. They always showed great concern in the prosperity and happiness of all. They created and formulated various codes of conducts for

living, which are stored in our ancient scripts like Vedas and Upanishads. Some of the very important Rishis and Maharishis who developed the norms for Vastu

•AtriRishi
•Anirudha
•Bhrigurishi
•Brispati Rishi
•BrahmaGarga
•Maya
•Narad
•Vashistaand

1. Shakuni Had No Animosity Against Pandavas, His Real Enemy Was Bhishma

Shakuni was furious that his sister Gandhari was marrying a blind man, and his first adversary was Bhishma, who brought the proposal of a blind man for his sister.

#Thread

In addition, there is another legend that states that Hastinapur's ancestors destroyed the entire clan of Gandhara. This is one of the reasons Shakuni vowed to end the Kuru line entirely.

So, you see Shakuni poisoning Duryodhana against the Pandavas to start a war and end the Kuru line by killing each other.

2. Shakuni Had 2 sons - Uluka & Vrikaasur

Shakuni's family was never given much attention because he is mostly seen in Hastinapur. However, it is true that he had two sons, Uluka and Vrikaasur.

Ulo-ok or Uluka wanted to return his father to Gandhara before the Pandavas came from Agyatvas, but Shakuni- did not go back because he wanted to sit and start the Kurukshetra war.

THE THIRD EYE EXPERIENCE

More knowledge expands our consciousness, the expansion of consciousness is the mercy of the soul. Further knowledge comes to us through special senses, such as the celestial eye and the subtle body.

Eye of knowledge (Third eye):
The Third Eye (Ajna chakra) will turn the understanding of meditation into reality. A tremendous experience that shows, you have experienced meditation.
Eye of knowledge is a very powerful medium of our soul, a very powerful tool for seeing, feeling,

and hearing the reality of the afterlife. These three processes of the soul are the eye of knowledge.
More we meditate, the more power we get, the more power the dynamic eye moves. This is a unique experience of meditation
When the clairvoyant becomes dynamic, we feel the

we feel the tension on our brain, we see different colors all around us, And we feel as if we are traveling in a silent dark black tunnel. We have heard different sounds, the arrival of second-level clouds. We see the great man whose physical form is not with us. We see the

great man whose physical form is in our imagination. When consciousness increases we experience tingling in the physical body. It feels like our body is swimming, it looks like not only our limbs, our body feels as light as wings. This power is called transcendental power.

The Kohinoor Diamond, whose name means "Mountain of Light" in Persian, was formerly fixed in place as the left eye of the Hindu goddess Bhadrakali in the Indian town of Warangal.

#LongThread

Koh-i-Noor was first extracted from the renowned "Kollur mine (Coulour or Gani)" diamond mine in the Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh, India.

This diamond was owned by the Kakatiya dynasty, which dominated much of the Telugu-speaking regions of what are now Telangana and Andhra Pradesh states in India from 1083 CE to 1323 CE. Its capital was Orugallu (now Warangal).

Around 625 AD, King Pulakesi II of the Chalukya dynasty built the temple of Goddess Bhadrakali to honor his victory over the Vengi district of Andhra Desam.

Later, the Kakatiyas kept this as the left eye of the statue when they adopted her as their "Kula Devatha," giving her primacy over other gods.

Principles of Yog - 3 granthis

There are three granthis (psychic knots) in the physical body which are obstacles on the path of the awakened kundalini. The granthis are called brahma, vishnu and rudra, and they represent levels of awareness where the power of maya, ignorance

and attachment to material things is especially strong. Each aspirant must transcend these barriers to make a clear passageway for the ascending kundalini.

1. Brahma granthi functions in the region of mooladhara chakra. It implies attachment to physical pleasures, material

objects and excessive selfishness. It also implies the ensnaring power of tamas - negativity, lethargy and ignorance.

2. Vishnu granthi operates in the region of anahata chakra. It is associated with the bondage of emotional attachment and attachment to people and inner psychic

visions. It is connected with rajas - the tendency towards passion, ambition and assertiveness.

3. Rudra granthi functions in the region of ajna chakra. It is associated with attachment to siddhis psychic phenomena and the concept of ourselves as individuals. One must surrender

the sense of individual ego and transcend duality to make further spiritual progress.

🌺Rajaraja Chola:The Mighty Chola King.🌺

Rajaraja Chola I was the one of the greatest ruler of the Imperial Chola dynasty who ruled in the period between 985 CE to 1014 CE. His real name was Arulmozhi Varman.

Through his extensive military campaigns, Rajaraja Chola transformed the Chola kingdom into a mighty empire that covered almost entire South India, parts of northern India, Northern parts of Srilanka, the islands of Maldives, and South East Asia.

Rajaraja was a great military general. He established a large standing army and a powerful navy. With the help of this army he waged unending campaigns against his neighbours - the Cheras and Pandyas and crushed their power.

To commemorate these victories, Rajaraja assumed the title of "Mummudi Chola" i.e the one who wears three crowns of Cholas, Pandyas and Cheras.

His most important military campaign was his invasion of modern day Srilanka.

Chola navy & army under his command crossed the ocean &destroyed ancient Singhla capital of Anuradhapura. Destruction of Anuradhapur was so great that it was turned into ruins& abandoned. City of Polanaruwa was made new capital & Shiva temple was built to commemorate the victory.

🌺Hinduism regards all souls as equal & all beings as the manifestation of Supreme Brahman & that's why we see God in everyone of his creation.🌺

Presence of soul in animal bodies may pose some problems to them with regard to their chances of liberation, but it does not..

..alter their essential nature.Beings differ in their ability &intelligence bcoz of presence or absence of certain aspects of Nature, but the soul is same in all. They r manifestations of Supreme Brahman,they deserve to be treated well& allowed to evolve in their own natural way.

Compassion to animals is an important virtue for those who seek liberation or those who want to lead virtuous lives on the path of righteousness to cultivate divine qualities. Killing animals without reason has the same karmic consequence..

..as killing humans, since every living being upon earth has an opportunity to evolve into higher life forms and work for their salvation.

Although animals enjoy the same spiritual status as humans, they are not well qualified to achieve liberation, since they do not..

..possess the higher mind or discriminating intelligence to make intelligent choices. Hence, to achieve liberation they have to take birth as humans. In some extraordinary circumstances, due to past karmas or the grace of God, they may rarely achieve liberation.

🌺What is so sacred about Kashi and its importance in Sanatan.🌺

💮Kashi is the spiritual capital of our country.
Our elders have always said that, every Hindu must visit Kasi atleast once in His/Her lifetime.

It is believed that , Shiva himself has created Kashi town, so, when the entire world will cease to exist , even then Kasi would remain untouched.

💮 Kashi is Rudra's(Bhairav) favourite place &daily at afternoon 12,Rudra comes to take a holy dip in Ganga at the Manikarnika Ghat.

Manikarnika means Ear ring, it is believed that the Ghat got this name because Shiva's ear ring / Vishnu’s ear ring / Sati’s ear ring has fallen in this place.

💮When Bhairav cut one of Brahma’s head , it is believed that Bhairav was wandering with that head in his hand, and Brahma’s head was absorbed in the Kashi mud, and thus Bhairav was relieved from the sin of Brahman Hatya ( murder ) in the holy Kashi.

💮Kashi is the place of moksha for all mortals.
The holy river Ganga flows in the Kashi, and pilgrims immerse the ash of their kin in Ganga , and thus believe they would get moksha and get cleansed of all sins by Ganga bath.

Bhishma advised for all human beings nine qualifications:

* To equally distribute wealth
* To forgive
* To beget children only by one’s legitimate wife
* To be pure in mind and hygienic in body

2. To be free from unlawful desires one should not make plans.

3. By spiritual culture one can conquer sleep.

4. By tolerance only can one conquer desires and avarice.

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.

🌺The Curse on Agni, the God of Fire🌺

There was a sage by name Bhrigu. Bhrigu was created by the Creator Brahma from the fire during a sacrificial rite performed by Varuna, the God of rain. Thus Bhrigu is to be considered the son of Brahma, the Creator.

Bhrigu married Puloma. Puloma became pregnant after some time. One day Bhrigu left her alone in his hermit and went to the river to perform ablutions. At that time, a Rakshasa (demon) entered Bhrigu's house.

Puloma entertained him offering him fruit and snacks, taking him for a guest. (It was a practice in ancient India to offer food to anyone, including a stranger, who visits one's house.

In fact, feeding at least one stranger before the people in the house took their food was even considered an obligation.) The rakshasa was attracted by Puloma's beauty and was instantly consumed by intense lust.

The demon saw the sacrificial fire (Agni) that was earlier lit by Bhrigu, the fire that was still burning.

He asked Agni, "This woman's father had betrothed her to me and I had also accepted her as my wife. (When Puloma, as a child, was committing

NAMAKKAL ANJANEYAR

Namakkal Anjaneyar Temple is located in Namakkal Dt. Anjaneyar is about 18ft tall seen with folding hands praying to Narasimha Murthy.

Story says that, Once when Anjaneyar was carrying Saligrama from Mandakini river, was surprised to see Mahalakshmi here. Devi was praying for Bhaghavat darshan in the form of Narasimha. As Saligrama must not be kept on the ground Anjaneya requested Devi

To hold it till he returns. Hanuman didn't return on correct time & Devi placed the saligrama on the ground, which grew to a hill & Mahavishnu gave darshan as Narasimha here. Thus Anjaneyar also stayed here worshipping Narasimhar. Vada Mala is very famous here.

भगवान श्रीराम का अयोध्या से लंका मार्ग...

1.तमसा नदी : अयोध्या से 20 किमी दूर है तमसा नदी। यहां पर उन्होंने नाव से नदी पार की।

2.श्रृंगवेरपुर तीर्थ : प्रयागराज से 20-22 किलोमीटर दूर वे श्रृंगवेरपुर पहुंचे, जो निषादराज गुह का राज्य था। यहीं पर गंगा के तट पर उन्होंने केवट

से गंगा पार करने को कहा था। श्रृंगवेरपुर को वर्तमान में सिंगरौर कहा जाता है।

3.कुरई गांव : सिंगरौर में गंगा पार कर श्रीराम कुरई में रुके थे।

4.प्रयाग : कुरई से आगे चलकर श्रीराम अपने भाई लक्ष्मण और पत्नी सहित प्रयाग पहुंचे थे। कुछ महीने पहले तक प्रयाग को इलाहाबाद कहा जाता

था ।
5.चित्रकूणट* : प्रभु श्रीराम ने प्रयाग संगम के समीप यमुना नदी को पार किया और फिर पहुंच गए चित्रकूट। चित्रकूट वह स्थान है, जहां राम को मनाने के लिए भरत अपनी सेना के साथ पहुंचते हैं। तब जब दशरथ का देहांत हो जाता है। भारत यहां से राम की चरण पादुका ले जाकर उनकी चरण पादुका रखकर

राज्य करते हैं।

6.सतना*: चित्रकूट के पास ही सतना (मध्यप्रदेश) स्थित अत्रि ऋषि का आश्रम था। हालांकि अनुसूइया पति महर्षि अत्रि चित्रकूट के तपोवन में रहा करते थे, लेकिन सतना में 'रामवन' नामक स्थान पर भी श्रीराम रुके थे, जहां ऋषि अत्रि का एक ओर आश्रम था।

💮🌺Madhubani Art🌺💮

The Madhubani or Mithila paintings of Bihar are one of the most vibrant folk arts of the world. Using natural dyes/pigments and fingers, twigs, matchsticks, brushes and pens, it is an art form dominated by women, who use it as...

...self expression and to reflect the mores of their society and region.

The form dates back to the Ramayana period, but was revived by WG Archer, an Englishman in the 1940s. It is divided into 5 distinct styles.

The skills are passed from mother to daughter, the decoration of the kohbar(the newly weds room) being the culmination of a lifetime of learning the art.Thereby,it makes sense that overweening themes are love & fertility,accompanied by religious motifs from Sanatan Vedic Culture.

Madhubani has traditionally been painted on mud walls but in recent years, artists such as Sita Devi and Ganga Devi have made paper /canvas works that stand individually as art.

Their interpretation of western themes such as the Twin Towers, the Arlington Cemetery and roller coasters are worth appreciating. Artists such as these are now collected in Japan and the USA, where the Asian Art Museum held a special showing.

#Thiruvellarai Divya Desam Dakshinayana entrance opening ceremony. The presiding deity Sri Sendhamarai Kannan/ Pundarikaksha Perumal is called as "Maayavan" during Dakshinayana.

This Divya Desam is 4th among 108 Divya Desams of Vishnu.

@ramapriya1989 @Vadicwarrior @AnchorAnandN

The temple is also called Adhivellarai (primary white stone), Uthama Kshetram (best destination), Hita Kshetram (beneficial destination) and as the temple is perched on top of a small white-stoned hillock, it is also known as #Swethagiri (#Sanskrit: Swetha-white; Giri-hill).

In this Kshetram, there are 2 entrances to the sanctum sanctorum, Dakshinayana & Utarayana.

Dakshinayana entrance open from Aadi to Margazhi Tamil months covering from Jul-Aug to Dec-Jan & the Utharayana open from the Tamil months Thai to Aani covering Jan-Feb to Jun-Jul.

The sanctum sanctorum has one more entrance called ‘#Nazhi_Kettaan_Vaayil’ where it is believed that the Perumal was intercepted & questioned by his consort, upon his returning home later, after his sojourn.

Even today, during the festivals, after completing the trip outside, Perumal has to account for his time to his consort by informing the time he started, the places he visited etc., at this gate in order to gain entry into the temple.
