HINDUISM BEYOND DHARMA

DEMYSTIFYING SCIENCE BEHIND HINDUISM

NARENDRA MAHARANA
DEDICATION

Dedicated to my beloved father


Baba, I know you are there somewhere. See, I sew all your
words, gave it a face, and named it “Hinduism beyond
Dharma.”Thank you to taught me to think differently and
logically and always encourage me in all my aspects.
Preface

Hinduism is a lifestyle. It is significantly more than a


Religion, and there isn't so much as a Prophet. All that
numerous incredible antiquated soothsayers uncovered
called Rishies during their profound reflection known as
'sruti,' which structure the establishment for Hinduism. It is
accepted that this information is everlasting and is claimed
and rehearsed by endless searchers of unceasing truth.
What is legitimate is Dharma, and constant is Sanatana and
subsequently the name Sanatana Dharma. In the Vedic
period, mainly truthful information concerning the beginning
of the universe and the idea of God was specific
information. Yet, later, shockingly, even the impassioned
Hindus failed to remember the establishing standards or
Tawas and bound themselves just to the customs
(Acharyas). With the outcome, the old age couldn't address
questions presented by their offsprings regarding even Idol
love or the idea of temples. The present-day Hindus have
lost confidence in customs and are at a complete misfortune
concerning their Religion, Dharmic obligations, or even the
rich culture they acquired. They fall into the gloom without
realizing the significance of life, where he has come from,
and where he would follow demise. The valuable information
on 'Karma' and 'Dharma' would have quieted their fierce
psyche and given them incredible alleviation, ' Santhi.'
According to Hinduism, the Sanskar is a progression of holy
observances, penances, and customs that fill in as
transitional experiences, imprint the different phases of
human existence, and imply section to a specific Ashram
(stage of life). The Sanskar is supposed to help for
accomplishing profound sustenance, true serenity, and
eventually moksha. Thus, Sanskar gives a deep touch to the
significant occasions at various phases of a Hindu life –
directly from pre-birth to post-passing.
Sanskaras are the defining moments of life and should be
commended. Festivities are vital elements of Sanskaras.
They straightforwardly or by implication include our
regarded seniors, researchers, and darlings. Everybody gets
together to pass on their all the best and endowments to
the concerned individual, and in this way, there is social and
strict permission for the demonstration and service.
Sanskaras are extraordinary, dependable apparatuses in our
customary frameworks which help cut out an incredible
character. Aside from scriptural approval, history
additionally demonstrates to us the remarkable adequacy of
these strategies.
In this segment, we will introduce a prologue to these well-
known sixteen Sanskaras of Hindus, which cover the whole
life expectancy of an individual and make him to the
entryway strides to Truth.
ABOUT THE BOOK

This book won't let you deep-dive into the ocean of Hinduism. Instead, this book
will try to reveal the science behind Hinduism. We Hindus celebrate much
cultural activity, going to temples, practicing Hinduism without knowing the
main reason.
From pin to plain, button to a battery, atom to an atom bomb, we made it a
thousand years ago when the western world lived in caves and ate raw meat.
Then, we thought our ancestors were sages and monks. Instead, we should
recognize them as engineers, scientists, doctors, and mathematicians who had
excellent knowledge in mathematics, encryption technology, medicine, plastic
surgery, etc.
Ancestors kept the scientific thing secret and gave a religious angle to it to
benefit from practicing it for a long time.
Hindus are mainly practicing sixteen sanskars in the four stages of life. This
book is all about the science and secret behind the sixteen sanskar and our
ancestor's remarkable discoveries and inventions. But, unfortunately, history did
an injustice to them and gave credit to others.
Here It was clarified based on Rig Veda, Upanishads, Bhagwat Gita lessons, and
science journal articles in a simple language. In a nutshell, it is a Hindu way of
thinking rearranged for the comprehension of youngsters, behind the scenes of
Science and current Physics.
AN INTRODUCTION TO SODASA
SANSKARA

Hinduism is contained various religious practices.


Sanskaras (Samskaras) are holy observances, sacrifices, and
functions that fill in as transitory traditions and record
various periods of the presence of the Hindus. All people
should play out a movement of atonements with
commitments to divine creatures, archetypes, and
guardians following the Vedic maxims about Dharma and
honorable life. According to a far-reaching viewpoint, the
term sanskara implies an action of a custom sort highlighted
chipping away at an individual or article.
These are customs performed for the duration of the
present example of a Hindu, that is, from birth to death,
where it is acknowledged that the karma that youth brings
after entering the world is from his previous existence, so he
ought to be conveyed and Cleaned off of those horrible
practices and change the awful exercises of past existence
into excellencies.
Altogether 16 unique traditions are polished in Hinduism,
set up in the old favored books of Hinduism. At present, it
depends upon the area, station, or family customs to
portray the tradition to be finished.
GARBHA SANSKARA

Garbha sanskara means to educate the fetus in the womb.


Garbh sanskar is a process to impart spiritual thoughts in
the baby right from the time of conception. In this view, the
garbha sanskar should be directed towards raising the
sattva guna (or significant characteristics and positive
speculation in the material sense).
In Mahabharata, Vishnu Purana, many stories describe the
power of garbha sanskara. Many of us know about
Abhimanyu, son of Arjuna, the great archer.
Once Arjuna describes how to enter into chakrabyuha (a
formation held circularly one inside another)to his wife
Subhadra, pregnant with their son Abhimanyu. When
Abhimanyu became a young and a fighter in the
Kurukshetra war, he recollected all the things in battle and
was able to get into the chakrabyuha.
The story of Prahlad is from the Bishnu Puranas. Prahlad was
born into a demon king Hiranya Kashyap who was wreaking
havoc on the Gods in heaven. His Mother listened to
devotional prayers and stories about Lord Vishnu while he
was in her womb. Subsequently, he became a devotee of
Lord Vishnu. He remained by great and revoked all
malevolent. This prompted the defeat of his devil father,
Hiranya Kashyap's evil empire.
Research says around 60 percent of brain development is
done when the baby is in the Mother's womb.
The positive reasoning and mentality advances the Mother
and the child's actual prosperity throughout the pregnancy
and after.
The advantages of Garbh sanskar are that you teach your
child, and there is an advancement of a connection between
the Mother and the child. A child's character starts to come
to fruition in the womb, which can be affected by the
Mother's perspective during pregnancy.
(Image 1: Varamoortheeswarar temple, Tamilnadu,
Ariyathurai )

Varamoortheeswarar temple is 6000 years of age-


dependent on unbelievable angles (considering the
significant association with sages Romar and Mukunthan).
But a reasonable estimate says the Temple is around 1000
years. King Kunjara Cholan has made increments to the
Temple. The Temple certainly existed in the Chola period
(about 1000 years of age).
In the above image, in between three vertical lines, two
drawing are shown. The left one, A snake touching a disk, is
nothing but human egg fertilization, and the right one is its
description. According to the Tamil text, fish is a celestial
object, a star swimming in the heavenly ocean. So the
divine fish which is coming from the sky is entered into the
earthen pot. Ancient Tamil buried their dead ones in an
earthen pot in a fetal position. The inverted pot symbolized
the Mother's womb. So fish, the sacred object having a bud
in mouth dropped into the inverted pot, means the soul
entered into the Mother's womb.
Thousand years ago, our ancestors knew about the science
of fertilization without having modern equipment. They
should have some equipment or technologies which are
missing in this era.
PUMSAVANA

Pumasana is the second sanskara among the 16


sansanskara in hunduism. This is commended in the third or
fourth month of pregnancy; generally, after the pregnancy is
entered into recognizable however before the child starts
moving in the womb.
We found the description of pumsavana in sections 4.3.23
and 4.6.2 of the Atharva Veda, and it gives techniques for
usually creating sound descendants by strategies
referenced in pumsavana, which should be used wisely to
prevent miscarriage and deliver a healthy, intelligent,
beautiful progeny with strength, vigor, and longevity for
tomorrow.
(Model of the human embryo in Kala Bhairava
Natha temple, Tamilnadu; Image courtesy: Google
Plus)

The advancement of the human embryo is additionally


exhibited in the Kala Bhairava Natha temple, Tamilnadu.
Additionally, this Chola temple is called Shri
Garbharakshambika Sameta Shri Mullaivana Nathar temple,
at Thirukarugavur, Papanasam taluka, situated on Thanjavur
(Tanjore) – Kumbakonam street.
There are additionally old engravings on the dividers inside.
Engravings from King Raja Chola's period, who managed
somewhere in the range of 985 and 1014, and those from
Parantaka Chola's period (mid-tenth century) are seen inside
the Temple.
A portion of the supplication method here is identified with
pregnancy. So a devoted temple to tackle "Gynecology
issues."
Might be experts were accessible in the Temple to help
individuals. It was a specialization administration given to
society.
SIMANTONNAYANA

Simantonnayana is the third sanskara among the 16


sansanskara in hunduism. Simantonayana is a Prenatal
custom for the security of conveying Mother and her womb.
Simantonayana is called simantakarana in some parts of
India, and today it is popularly known as Godbharai in the
north side of India. In this ritual, the Husband part the hair
of the wife upwards three times with dhrubha Grass.
In this ceremony, the companions and family members of
the lady meet, recognize and fulfill the food desires of the
hopeful lady, and offer endowments to the Mother and the
child in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy.
After the Simantonnayana custom during the last month of
the pregnancy, the lady is relied upon not to overexert
herself, and her husband is required to be by her and not
travel far.
JATAKARMA

Jata karma is the fourth sacrament of Hindus among 16


sacraments. Jatakarma is coming from two Sanskrit words.
The first one is "Jata" and the second one is" Karma." Jata
means to generate or came into existence. Karma means
sacraments or rituals. The composite word, Jatakarman,
thus represents the rituals we do after the baby is born, or
we can say celebrating the first birthday.
According to Upanishads, the father welcomes the baby by
touching the baby's lips with ghee (clarified butter) and
honey rubbed with gold. Chant Goddess Saraswathi's
mantra is in an infant's ear and wishes to live a hundred
autumns.
After performing the ritual, the umbilical cord of the infant is
cut.
The main reason behind giving the mixture of gold, ghee,
and honey to the infant is to remove the impurity if the
infant takes it in a mother's womb.
It purifies the blood, urine, and stomach-related disorder.
NAMAKARANA

Namakarana is the fifth sacrament among the sixteen


sacraments.
The newborn baby's Namkaran Sanskar (Naming Ceremony)
is typically performed on the 10th day after the sutika sudhi.
Yet, it can be completed within a month or at whatever point
name is given to the kid. Thus, it's anything but a holy
observance for the inconvenience of holiness in a recently
conceived kid.
NISHKRAMAN

Sanskars are answerable for the up-gradation of individual,


family, religion, and public activity of people. Nishkraman
Sanskar is set at the sixth spot in sixteen sanskars.
It is a holy observance of the first excursion of a child
following three months of birth. Since a kid stays tricky to
intense Sun and wind, along these lines, a kid will encounter
the evil impacts of warmth, stroke, and hypothermia.
Therefore, it is taken out for taking the gift for Sun and
moon.
This sanskar is for the acquaintance of a baby with excellent
nature and to have a feel of it. Generally, the child is taken
out to the Temple. It is finished by performing Yagya with a
recitation of mantra. Unadulterated air loaded up with sun-
based prana is genuinely needed for the improvement of
the body and brain.
This sanskar is a powerful perception instrument for the
formative achievements of a child.
Washing the child before setting aside to temple is an
acceptable effort to check any disfigurement by vaidya.
Through this sanskar, we can look at the mental health,
excellent engine or receptors, Head control, and muscles
coordination in a child. For example, if all is well, a child will
respond to the sound of chime in the Temple by turning their
head around and lifting it with unlimited oversight. This
shows the child's acceptable hearing limit.
By seeing the Sun and moon, the pupillary response of the
baby can be noticed.
The determination of getting a handle on, venturing,
establishing reflexes gives the sign of cerebral paralysis
(turmoil of unusual development, balance in child).
Kid meets obscure individual in this sanskar, so child's
responses as grin, chuckle, and dread, tension can be
noticed because the child begins showing feelings following
three months of birth.
Presenting to daylight in the morning speeds up the
amalgamation of nutrient D. Nutrient D aids in retaining
calcium assimilation, which helps in typical mineralization of
unresolved issues bone and teeth wellbeing. Daylight is
additionally helpful for invulnerability.
Presenting to daylight re-energizes child's organic check and
expansion in Serotonin and hindrance of melatonin chemical
fulfills youngster and lively. Daylight is likewise supportive
for the appropriate working of the liver.
Openness to the moon in the night is likewise liable for the
arrival of feeling great chemicals (Serotonin) that keep a
child quiet and unwind. Thus, sun gifts are taken for the
good well-being of the kid. Likewise, moon favoring is
produced for the relieving results of the body and psyche of
a child.
ANNAPRASHANA

The ceremony is generally arranged in discussion with a


priest, who organizes a favorable date to lead the ceremony.
In the 6th, the seventh, or eighth-month baby is given solid
food. The food offered is by and large cooked rice with ghee.
By supporting this sanskar, the wise sages need the
youngster to wean away from the Mother's milk at an
appropriate time.
Annaprashana is trailed by Mamabhat, which happens in the
maternal uncle's or grandparents' home. In this function, the
youngster's maternal uncle takes care of their rice. It is
praised inside that week because the kid can't eat rice until
Annaprashana and Mamabhat have both happened in Vedic
Hindu culture.
CHAULAM

This is the eighth sacrament that is performed between the


first to third years of childbirth. According to this custom,
hair of kid are partitioned into two sections. A tuft of hair
(Shikha) is left set up at the highest point of the head kept
intact. The excess hair - these are eliminated from the head
with a chant of mantras. After this, Kid's head is washed
with panchaamrit or Ganga water, and a paste of turmeric
and sandalwood is applied to mend the cuts.
The reason for this sanskar is devotion, scholarly turn of
events, and magnificence. This is to enhance life span,
immaculateness, and excellence. Since a kid stays in the
womb for a very long time, this makes the kid's hair unclean
and can prompt scalp infection.
The normal development of hair on a child's head is
lopsided. So along these lines, after shaving, the kid will
have even hair development and not thick hair.
Another motivation to play out this sanskar is, the getting
teeth measure begins from the first to the third year. The kid
encounters substantial head, heat, swollen gums, slobber,
headache, loose motion, and conjunctivitis during this
interaction. This load of things influences the kid's head
making him aggravated and forceful. Thus, this sanskar
assists with keeping the youngster's head cool and light.
In the wake of shaving the head, the size and state of the
head ought to be reported cautiously for abnormal findings,
if any, for example, microcephaly, craniosynostosis,
macrocephaly. On the off chance that this sanskar is done in
first-year-old enough, exercises like strolling without help,
develop pincer handle, jot, the first molar eruption can be
checked.
Shikha left on kid's head in this sanskar has incredible
significance as where Shikha is set a point of nexus of the
relative multitude of nerves. Along these lines, Shikha helps
in ensuring this spot. Shikha is the middle point for getting
energy from the environment.
Beneath the spot of Shikha, crown chakra happens, which is
the focal point of insight. So Shikha helps boost this middle
which can upgrade our capacity to encounter the secret of
the universe.
Crown chakra is identified with the pineal organ, which
creates hormones that impact diverse body organs. This
present mirror's the relationship and collaboration of crown
chakra with other chakras.
NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES OF EAR PIERCING

In India, the ear-piercing of a youngster is done in one of the


16 sacraments known as Karnavedhana sanskar. This is
trailed by pichuvarti (cotton wick-absorbed medication). In
the male kid, the right ear should be pierced first as the
right half of the body oversees more manly parts of our
character. While in the female youngster, the first piercing
ought to be done in the left ear, which controls the ladylike
part of our character.
Injury delivered by piercing the ear starts antigen-
neutralizer response giving emotional invulnerability to the
kid. An analytical report exhibited that ear puncturing is a
speedy strategy that triggers insusceptible bodily activities.
We should examine different advantages of ear penetrating
are:
Ear projection which is pierced contains many sensitive
spots, and accordingly, blood supply is believed to be for
assisting us with keeping up our equilibrium. As per
Ayurveda, energy or critical factor focuses on in-ears
associated with various organs and the entire body.
Ear penetrating improves the listening limit and vision of
youngsters. Moreover, an analytical report showed that the
ear is pierced an ace sensorial point that controls cerebral
cortex space of parietal, occipital, and fleeting flap.
Ear penetrating is likewise liable for the academic
improvement of a youngster. An analytical report showed
that the ear's position is pierced an ace cerebral point
related to the prefrontal projection of the cerebrum. Thus, it
engages with capacities like memory, consideration,
arranging, critical thinking, and dynamic.
The ear projection has a significant point for conceptive
wellbeing. In this way, piercing of the ear keeps up
routineness in the feminine cycle. It is upheld by the Father
of Western medication, Hippocrates.
The ear projection has highlight improve absorption since
ear puncturing invigorates the vagus nerve, which is related
to stomach-related lot and helps in expanding craving,
which is significant for kid's development.
Additionally, Auricular needle therapy keeps from different
illnesses like sleep deprivation, loose motion, panic, over
the top habitual problem.
AN INTRODUCTION TO
BRAHMACHARYA

The strict importance of brahmacharya is celibacy. 'Brahma'


signifies limitlessness, 'charya' signifies moving in,
following. So brahmacharya is following endlessness,
knowing your immense nature, believing that you are not
simply the body; your quality is a shine of light. You move
on the planet like you are space, boundless. This is when
abstinence occurs typically. Celibacy brings you continued
strength. The Brahmacharya lifestyle is something beyond
purity.
An individual who is slightly leaning is continually
surrendering to the desires of the faculties. He attempts to
discover fulfillment through the incitement of the faculties.
This hot movement goes to his head. Furthermore, when
your head is hot, your vision and discernment get obscured.
Sex is a piece of life. However, a fixation on sex is
something that frustrates profound advancement. A
particular individual's energy is low; he makes a thick and
dull vibration around him that no one loves. This debilitates
the brain, and there is no life or responsibility throughout
everyday life.
The rishis divided life into four sections. In the initial 20
years of life, the emphasis was on obtaining information.
The person who went through the initial 20 years of life
chasing after the report is a brahmachari. The substance of
brahmacharya is that you ought not to pursue delight. One
who seeks joy can't obtain information.
The body utilizes similar energy and material squandered
through sexual action to recuperate itself. Observe,
however, that to harvest the training products, you should
be intellectually pure too. Actual forbearance is the initial
step. However, mental celibacy is genuine celibacy. By
limiting yourself truly and allowing the psyche to go out of
control, you may be deceiving yourself.
Here are numerous advantages of practicing brahmacharya.
Boldness/Fearlessness – Fear lessens a ton. It'll turn out to
be difficult for you to be frightened, even of scary things. In
a frightening circumstance, you'll know about the danger;
however, you can likewise manage it cautiously instead of
terrifying and deteriorating the possibility. You will begin to
feel what genuine manliness resembles.
Ecstasy/Contentment – You will begin to feel rapture, which
will cause dispassion and dislike for sexy delights. Once in a
while, the happiness is incredible to the point that you lose
interest in everything around you. To build this happiness,
it's ideal for rehearsing self-request (hold the I thought-
feeling) as instructed by Ramana Maharshi. The joy is like
the delight you get from sexual movement, however more
refined (subtler). It's better because it's constant and
invigoratingly affects the body.
You will think that it's simpler to recall things and likewise
recollect recollections that you had neglected for quite a
while. Quit worrying about old recollections, and you will
again begin to remember dreams which you made some
long memories prior. The psyche will turn out to be a lot
keener.
Your concerns lessen extraordinarily. You will begin to think
that sit's hard to stress since you feel great or near
awesome. This will give you a suspicion that all is well and
good, empowering you to manage tough spots without
worrying.
The psyche turns out to be amazingly sharp and ready to
get a handle on things without any problem. You'll begin to
comprehend things naturally without considering them. The
appropriate responses will come to you usually all alone.
The more prominent the rapture, the more fantastic the
internal harmony is. The euphoric inclination drives it almost
difficult to get mad. Out of nowhere, all is well. Nothing
pesters you any longer.
SIGNIFICANCE OF
BRATAPONAYANA(UPANAYANA)

Upanayana or Yagnopavit is one of the significant Sanskar


among sodasa upachara. According to this, everybody
needs to begin concentrate in the wake of wearing the
Janeu as it were. The main secret of life through
Brahmopadesam has been educated in the ceremony. The
second birth happens when a man looks for his spiritual
personality; The emblematically acknowledges profound
teacher as father and the Vedas as a mother.
Upanayana ceremony is performed on young men of various
age-dependent on the Varna, 7-8 years for Brahmin
varna,11-13 years for Kshatriya varna, 17 years for Vaishya
varna.
There is no evidence that no one but brahmins can do
upanayana. Unmarried young men wear sacred threads with
three strands.
The married men wear sacrosanct strings with six strands,
and the individuals who lost their parents wear nine strands.
In ancient times, some texts like Harita Dharmasutras,
Asvalayana Grhya Sutra, and Yama smriti recommend that
ladies start Vedic studies after the Upanayana sanskara.
A notice of this is found in the Kurmapuranaas as well.
Young ladies who chose to turn into an understudy went
through the Upanayana transitional experience at eight
years old, and from that point, were called Brahmavadini.
They wore a string or upper article of clothing over their left
shoulder. Those young ladies who decided not to go to a
gurukul were called Sadyovadhu (in a real sense, one who
marries straight).
Nonetheless, the Sadyovadhu also went through a stage
during the wedding ceremonies, where she would finish
Upanayana, and from there on, wear her upper article of
clothing (saree) over her left shoulder.
This break emblematic Upanayana soul-changing
experience for a young lady before her wedding is depicted
in numerous writings, for example, the Gobhila Gryha Sutra
verse 2.1.19 and some Dharmasutras.
The science behind Janau sanskara:
There are many logical explanations for the utilization of
janeu; a vein named Lohitika going through the right ear
controls the flow of urine. Along these lines, when the
individual wears the sacred thread string around his ear
while passing urine, it indirectly helps the urinary framework
control the urine stream, consequently keeping the urinary
framework and bladder healthy.
It likewise helps in diminishing the circulatory strain and
heart-related sickness too. It likewise helps in expanding the
memory power.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GAYATRI MANTRA

During upanayana, it was giving Gayatri's mantra as a


Diksha to the child. From Vedic times in gurukul, the Gayatri
mantra was included in the prayer before starting class. The
sacred Gayatri mantra was clarified in Rig Veda. Brahmarshi
Vishwamitra at first described it. This mantra is concerned
about the Sun, and it is additionally called as Savir mantra.

|
||

The scientific interpretation The earth (bhur), the planets


(bhuvah), and the cosmic systems (swah) are moving at a
highly extraordinary speed. The sound delivered is Om (the
name of shapeless God.) That God (tat), who shows Himself
as the light of suns (savitur), is deserving of bowing/regard
(varenyam). We as a whole, accordingly, ought to think
(dheemahi) upon the light (bhargo) of that god (devasya)
and do reciting of Om. May He (yo) guide in the correct
heading (prachodayat) our (Nah) mind dhiyo.
This mantra describes the heavenly and sacred beam of
light that invades all that exists, the vast and lovable Sun,
as I ponder your incomparable and sovereign brilliance. May
you enlighten and light up my insight. Gayatri Mantra is
accepted as quite possibly the most remarkable and
singular mantra in the Hindu religion. Gayatri is the Mother
of the multitude of Vedas and has the force of destroying all
sins. Discussing the Gayatri mantra brings similar wonder
and result as the recitation of every one of the four Vedas
together brings. Each expression of the Gayatri mantra is
orchestrated in a particular way to make tremendous power
and effect on the brain, soul, and body. The meaning of
Gayatri Mantra is too hard to be investigated by people
possibly; indeed, it's past human reach. The power of the
Gayatri mantra can be felt by just the person who charms it.
Some sure principles and rules must be followed while
enchanting the Gayatri mantra. First, it is energetically
suggested that an individual who recites Gayatri Mantra
should, in every case, close their eyes, attempting to focus
on every word that is discussed or articulated.
Notwithstanding, you can discuss Gayatri Mantra in any
piece of the day; however, the preachers state that it's
valuable on the off chance that you start your day by
reciting the excellent Hindu Mantra and recounting the
mantra around evening time will loosen up your body and
soul to give you an undisturbed rest restoring your body and
brain.
While researching, I found a paper in "SEMANTIC SCHOLAR,"
which was quite enjoyable, where mentioned how Gayatri
mantras decrease anxiety. The scientific study was on the
effects of Mindfulness with Gayatri Mantra on Decreasing
Anxiety in the Elderly.
Reference : DOI:10.14710/HNHS.1.1.2018.35-45 Corpus ID:
197714963
Anxiety is one of the psychological issues which can create
in the old. Whenever left untreated, it can diminish the
efficiency and quality of life. Care with Gayatri mantra is a
particularly correlative treatment that is successful in
reducing anxiety in the old. Objective: The motivation
behind this investigation was to decide the impacts of care
with the Gayatri mantra on diminishing anxiety in the older
Hindus in Bali, Indonesia. Strategies: This investigation
utilized a one-gathering pre and post-test semi exploratory
plan and affected 34 old individuals enrolled using a
purposive inspecting procedure. Anxiety was estimated
utilizing the Geriatric Anxiety Scale (GAS). A t-test factual
investigation was used to examine the information. Results:
Results showed critical impacts of care with Gayatri mantra
on diminishing the tension in the old Hindus in Bali with a p-
worth of 0.000 (α-esteem = 0.05). End: Mindfulness with the
Gayatri mantra could lessen stress in the ancient Hindus.
This treatment can be utilized as a choice to forestall the
repeat of tension in the old.

The above table shows changes in the Geriatric Anxiety


Scale (GAS) scores on substantial, intellectual, and full of
feeling spaces. The degree of anxiety in the physical area,
psychological freedom, and emotional room showed the
most elevated score of 67.6% (mild anxiety), 52.9% (mild
anxiety), and 61.8% (mild anxiety) individually. After the
mediation, the substantial, intellectual, and emotional
spaces changed to little anxiety (100%).
VEDAARAMBHA

This Sanskar is done alongside Upanayana. Vedarambha is


the learning of Vedas and Upanishads in 'Gurukula' or
'Pathashala'. At the start of every academic period, there is
a function called Upakarm, and toward the finish of every
scholarly period, there is another service called Upasarjana.
The youngster starts his journey headed for profound life.
This is appeared differently about the existence of eating,
dozing, and reproducing, which sorts of everyday routine
creatures likewise experience. The youngster is sent to
Gurukul.
SUPERBRAIN YOGA IN ANCIENT TIMES

In India, it is viewed as entirely ordinary to rebuff failing


students. A portion of the method for punishment is to
embarrass the students by making them stand up on the
seat or confront the edge of the classroom. Another type of
punishment is to cause torment by sending a clear message
utilizing a long scale or stick.
The eldest and well-known type of discipline is to make
students hold their ears with hands crossing one another
(left hand holding right ear and right hand holding left ear)
and switch back and forth between standing and squatting.
It is designated "Uthak-Baithak" in Hindi or "Baski" in
Kannada or "Thoppukaranam" in Tamil. It isn't only a type of
discipline in study hall yet additionally conventional practice
for some who perform it while offering prayers.
It further creates concentration and starts bits of the
psyche, which helps one with remaining alarm, fostering
memory, and handling data. In this manner, it was used as a
kind of discipline for understudies. In the past couple of
years, a package of investigation mulls over were
endeavored by Scientists and Doctors across the world on
this strategy, and the results were stunning.
During the assessment, it was seen that Alpha waves
development extended after playing out this methodology
for just 1 min. Since this system incorporates crushing the
projections of ears, it is according to pressure point knead.
Overcoming the left ear starts the right brain and stimulates
the looking at the pituitary gland and the reverse way
around for the right ear.
In another assessment, the outcome of an EEG showed
extended adequacy in the parieto-occipital district of the
frontal cortex following the strategy, which achieved vast
psyche electrical development.
Unending supply of the advantages of this procedure
through research considers that most of the made countries
have sincerely acknowledged it and changed it as a
"movement" recommended by Doctors and executed in
Schools. Curiously, they have named it "Super Brain Yoga,"
which has become a free for, especially in the USA where
uncommon studios are being directed to help interested
people learn this technique.
Accordingly, this direct technique isn't just a sort of
discipline but an intelligence establishment that was found
by Indians centuries earlier and has been made a piece of
the custom in Indian classrooms.
HOW DID WE KNOW THE EARTH WAS ROUND
BEFORE ANY OTHER CIVILIZATION KNEW IT?

Rather than the standard argument of the word "Bhugol"


being used in India for hundreds of years, we will perceive
what is told about Varaha Avatar before clarifying Earth as a
globe.

||
Interpretation
He saw there the almighty Personality of Godhead in His
boar manifestation, bearing the earth upon the closures of
His tusks and denying him of his magnificence with His
reddish eyes. The evil spirit giggled: Oh, an amphibious
beast!
Ref: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 3 Chapter 18 Shloka 2
This specific shloka portrays the Varaha Avatar of Lord
Vishnu protecting the Earth.

Interpretation:-
Individuals living in nations at points diametrically inverse to
where the Sun is first seen rising will see the sun setting. For
example, if a straight line were drawn from the Sun in the
early afternoon, individuals in nations at the far edge of the
line would encounter noon. Additionally, if individuals dwell
where the Sun is setting where to go to countries entirely
inverse, they would not see the Sun in a similar condition.

Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 5 Chapter 21 Shlokas 8–9


This stanza clarified that the Earth is a sphere.
Chennakeshava Temple, worked by the Hoysala authority,
Somnath, in 1268 A.D is a live illustration of the legacy and
culture of the Hoysala Empire, and this Temple was built
utilizing the soapstone. A dazzling delight, the compositional
plan of this Temple draws in individuals from everywhere in
the world. The band around the western sanctum portrays
the Bhagavata Purana. Dasavataram was carved on the
outer wall surrounding the southern garbhagriha.
Varava avatar was one of them from somanathpura Keshava
temple. What's unique to the carving? As usual, Lord Vishnu
holds sankha nad chakra in two hands, but if you see the
other two hands, he has a spherical ball. What is it?
At the point when you say, "When it became public
information," you are just discussing the western
information banks that recognized the realities like the Sun
being the focal point of the close planetary system and
Earth is spinning around it after they had wound up killing
whoever considered such thoughts. Galileo is one such
miserable model.
The latest setup proposition exhibits that the Bhagavatham
was incorporated from the finish of the Mahabharata age,
toward the start of Kali-yuga (3102 BC) and at the most
recent round, 2600 BC.
DID WE KNOW HUMAN EVOLUTION BEFORE
CHARLES DARWIN'S THEORY OF EVOLUTION?

The scientist Charles Darwin was born in a small town


named Mount in England on 12th Feb 1809. He joined HMS
Beagle (a ship)as a scientist and started his journey on 27th
March 1831, from England to Latin America .continously
sailed the boat from one island to another. He carefully
studied different animals, fossils, and the people in
Galapagos, the Falkland Islands.
They concluded that life evolved in water as a single-cell
creature, and the evolution continuously changed into a
complex multicellular organism. The aquatic animal slowly
changes their habitat from water to earth by changing their
body, shapes, and food habits after switching from a four-
legged animal to a two-legged human being. Many changes
are also noticed from dwarf man to man with weapons,
intelligent human beings.
Our Vedas seemed well and good, and they had sorted it out
long back.
The first avatar is Matsya avatar:
Matsya is an incarnation fish of the best ten incarnations of
the Hindu god Vishnu. Lord Vishnu, who showed up as a fish,
came to Cherivee river and showed up before King Manu,
educating him regarding the conclusion of the age, and the
entire earth would before long be overflowed. You
assembled a boat, brought every one of your kin, a wide
range of grains, and a wide range of creatures to the ship,
and afterward attached it to my horn. I will take you to a
protected spot; you have started another time, a fresh start
of life on earth. Similarly, Matsya incarnation Vishnu killed
the evil presence of Hayagriva and carried the Vedas to
Satyvrata holy people and Saptarishis for study.
It satisfies Darwin's hypothesis of life advanced in water.
Life starts in the sea, and fish are the fundamental
vertebrates.
The second avatar is Kurma avatar:
Kurma is the second incarnation of Vishnu. Kulma showed
up during a period of emergency to reestablish the
equilibrium of the universe. Kurma shows up as a turtle. The
sage Durvasa reviled the divine beings (divine beings) for
losing their force since they overlooked him. The celestial
beings need the godlike nectar (Amrit) to conquer the revile.
So they agreed with the Asura (evil presence) to mix the
expanse of milk. They use Mandara Mountain as the twirly
doo, Snake wasuki as the string, and Turtle Mountain,
defeating the ocean.
Turtle (Kurma symbol) is an amphibian, could endure both
ashore and in water. Thus, it satisfies Darwin's hypothesis of
the endless battle of fishes to change and adjust to land and
water proficient life.
3rd avatar is Varaha avatar:
Varaha shows up as a wild boar, or the head and human
body of a wild boar. At the point when the devil Hiranyaksha
upset Bhudevi (earth) and its occupants and tossed them
into fresh waters, Vishnu dropped into the profundities of
the sea as Varaha to save the planet and its occupants and
kill Hiranyaksha.
It satisfies Darwin's theory, Wild creature - a complete
change from water to Land, next achievement in the
development. Creatures of land and water have battled
constantly to adjust to earthly creatures. Hog reminds us
about the dinosaurs that lived on the earth 1000s of years
sooner.
4th avatar is Narasimha avatar:
Narasimha shows up in human structure, with the face and
paws of a lion. Kill the evil spirit Hiranyakashipu. Kill the evil
presence by setting the devil on his legs and tearing his
body with claws.
It satisfies Darwin's theory, Conceptualisation of Homo
Sapiens, the following significant thing concerning the
development
The god Vishnu became Vamana (dwarf) and reestablished
the universe's equilibrium by overcoming King Asura
Mahabali (Bali Chakravarti). Mahabali acquired unbalanced
control over the universe. The evil spirit ruler started forfeits
and blessing offering functions to fortify his force. Vishnu
showed up as a dwarf beggar, requesting three goes of land.
Mahabali granted three stages of land. Vamana then, at that
point, turned into a goliath of the universe. He covered the
earth in one location and the sky in the other. Mahabali
offered his head in the third step, and Varmona sent his
head to Patara to secure the earth and its occupants.
Short height individual after the ape age was part of
advancements of homo Sapiens.
Parshurama is the son of the saints Jamadagni and Renuka
Yellamma. The saints Jamadani has a heavenly cow named
Surabi. Surabi has the exceptional capacity to make
everything that Jamdagni needs, so his name is Kamadenu.
The Kshatriya King Kartaviye Arjuna persuasively grabbed
Kamadinu from Jamdagni. Parshurama tested Kartavirya
Arjuna and killed him in the fight. The devotees of
Kartavirya Arjuna tested Parshurama, and they all passed on
in the war. Parshurama is a Sadhu warrior, saint, and martial
arts master.
According to Darwin's theory, man lived in the Jungle and
started using weapons.
Sri Rama is the child of King Dasaratha. He was married to
Sita, the daughter of Maharaja Janaka. The evil spirit Rabana
hijacked Sita, and Ravana was killed in a fight. From the
existences of Sri Ramah and Sita, we figured out how to live
in the public eye and how to regard our folks, family
members, educators, companions, and adversaries. Sri
Rama is called Maryada Purushottam. His life showed us
monogamy and monogamy. All researchers regard him as
"Daivam Maanusharoopena." God comes in human
structure.
Rama- > Moving to standard social orders, figuring out how
to living as local area, Various Skills created, still not bad.
Developed an amazing delicate man who followed
monogamy and is designated "Maryada Purushottam."
Eight avatars: Sri Krishna is a brilliant and clever man; he
will play with the human brain. Arjuna was reluctant to
battle with his family members and family members.
However, his recommendation was acceptable to such an
extent that he took up a bow and bolt and fought. He helps
the needy, and he rebuffs the underhanded. He is an
influential government official.
In my childhood, I always thought, why we are not
considered Krishna as part of dasavataram? Why do we
consider Balaram? If we think of Balaram as part of
dasavataram, it gives more power to our theory to prove
human evolution because Balaram uses plow as his tool,
and plow is being used for farming.
If we consider both Krishna and Balaram, darwins theory
says after humans maintaining social order, they became
wiser and started using tools for cultivation.
Buddha seeks happiness. He taught us that life is Dukkha
(torment). Dukkha comes from want and greed. If we control
greed, narrow-mindedness, and envy, we will dispose of
dukkha. He likewise instructed that passing is interminable;
everybody on earth must die.
Budha - On the way of illumination, more developed type of
individual, attempting to discover replies inside
Purana teaches us that Lord Vishnu has finished nine
incarnations, and the 10th incarnations of Kalki have not
yet shown up. Kalki ought to ride a white pony with wings
and conveying every single lethal weapon. He is the
upcoming man. Their destructive weapons will obliterate
the whole world; presently, the time of Kali is finished, and
the time of Nobel Shadia will start once more.
Kalki - > Humans progressed to the degree of self -
obliteration.
Dasavataram was not a figment of someone's imagination;
it's an entire human evolution theory with proof.
Our ancestors know the theories of evolution, and they just
told it as a story of "Dasavataram."
WHO CREATED THE FIRST MAP OF EARTH?

We will view the main ever world map as referenced in the


Hindu sacred texts (Mahabharat). The noteworthy Sanskrit
epic Mahabharat was placed in composed structure by
MahaRishi Ved Vyas 5000 years prior. Ved Vyas is one of the
essential rishis who made incredible commitments to Vedic
human progress. In Mahabharata, it is portrayed how
Maharishi Ved Vyasa gave divine vision (Divya Drishti) to
Sanjay, a charioteer for the visually impaired ruler
Dhritarashtra he could depict the occasions of the
forthcoming Mahabharata war. Before inquiries of war
started, Maharaja Dhritarashtra requested that Sanjay
portray how the world looks from space.
In the incredible undying Sanskrit epic of the Mahabharata,
Ref(Bhishma Parva (Book 5), Jamvu-khanda Nirvana Parva
(Chapter 6), verses 15 & 16, describe the world (called
Sudarshana).)

yathā ca puruṣaḥ paśyed ādarśe mukham ātmanaḥ


evaṃ sudarśana dvīpo dṛśyate candramaṇḍale
dvir aṃśe pippalas tatra dvir aṃśe ca śaśo mahān
Translation

Actually, like a man sees the impression of his face in the


mirror,
Likewise, the appearance of Sudarshan (earth) is found in
the lunar house (universe).
In two pieces of Sudarshan, there are Peepal (fig) leaves,
and two sections have a rabbit hare.
A long time later, the endeavor was made by Indian sage
Ramanujacharya (1017–1137 CE), a Hindu scholar, logician
portrayed out the guide, beneath is an example of what he
concocted leaves and a rabbit. A few researchers guarantee
that Sriman Thiruvenkata Ramanuja Jeeyar (1806-1877)
thought of this guide.

Once you rotate the original image, we will get a close view
of today's original map
Slight contrasts may have happened over the most recent
5000 years because of tectonic shifting and catastrophic
events.
It is astonishing how two fig leaves and a goliath hare could
characterize the planet 5000 years ago when there was no
advanced innovation like we have today. The rishis and
sages of the Vedic period were the genuine researchers of
their time, and they have recorded a great deal of their
intelligence in the sacred writings for the improvement of
the world. Present-day academic local areas should play
close thoughtfulness regarding their commitments.
ANCIENT ENCRYPTION AND ITS USAGE IN
MATHEMATICS

The most settled available confirmation of the usage of


Kaṭapayādi structure is from Grahacāraṇibandhana by
Haridatta in 683 CE. It has been used in
Laghu·bhāskarīya·vivaraṇa created by Śaṅkara·nārāyaṇa in
869 CE.
Some fight that the system began from Vararuci.In some
galactic compositions standards in Kerala, planetary
positions were encoded in the Kaṭapayādi structure. The
principle such work is seen as the Chandra-vakyani of
Vararuci, usually apportioned to the fourth century C.E. In
like manner, sooner or later in the early initial thousand
years is a reasonable measure for the start of the
Kaṭapayādi system.
Let us take the below-mentioned sloka, and we will found
the value of P.I. from it.

|
||

Gopi bhagya madhuvrata srngiso dadhi sandhiga |


Khala jivita khatava gala hala rasandhara||
The interpretation is as per the following: "Oh Lord blessed
with the yogurt of the milkmaids' worship (Krishna), Oh
savior of the fallen, Oh master of Shiva, please save me."

(Katapayadi table)
Kaṭapayādi framework directs that:

* As the primary digit is 3, the central consonant should be


one of ga, ḍa, ba, la
* As the subsequent digit is 1, the subsequent consonant
should be one of ka, ṭa, dad, ya
* For the third digit to be 4, the third consonant should be
gha, ḍha, bha, va.
So to fit 3.141592653589793…, the rundown of consonants
in the section should fulfill the regex
Now let's change the sloka as per the katapayadi table.
ga – 3 pii – 1 bhaa – 4 gya – 1 mama – 5 dhu – 9 ra – 2 ta - 6
shru – 5 ga – 3 sho – 5 da – 8 dhi – 9 sa - 7 dha – 9 ga – 3
kha – 2 la – 3 jii – 8 vi – 4 ta – 6 kha – 2 ta – 6 va – 4 ga-3 la –
3 ra – 2 sa – 7 dha – 9 ra – 2
we will end with the number
31415926535897932384626433832792.

What is this number? What is the use of the number?


This might be compared to the proportion of the
circumference of a circle to its diameter, Which we say as
"pi" in current calculations. The above number gives the
precise worth of pi/10 right to 31 decimal spots. Isn't it
fascinating???
Along these lines, while offering mantric recognition to
Godhead in dedication, by this technique, one can likewise
add to memory massive everyday realities.
Likewise, not exclusively did the code surrender pi to 32
decimal spots. However, there was a mysterious Master key
inside the design of the 32 that could open the following 32
decimals of the pi, etc.
The Code did not just praise Krishna; it worked on another
level as a commitment to Lord Shankara or Shiva. Pi's
significance has been recognized for at least 4,000 years.
Babylonians and the Egyptians also knew about π, and they
knew that every circle has the same ratio of circumference
to diameter. They had rough mathematical approximations
to the value of pi, and later mathematicians Archimedes
enhanced those approximations.
In 825 AD, one Arab mathematician Mohammad Ibn Musa
said: "The Hindus have given this worth."
DID YOU KNOW ASTRONOMICAL
INFORMATION IS THERE IN HANUMAN
CHALISA?

Hanuman Chalisa was written in Awadi by Tulsidas in the


15th century. In the doha, the distance between the Sun and
the earth is mentioned, which is more accurate than that of
scholars in the 17th century, even before the 2nd century.

18th verse from Hanuman Chalisa ,




juga sahasra jojana para bhānū
līlyo tāhi madhura phala jānū 18

Hanuman you covered {one Yug is equals to 12,000 years,


one Sahasra is equals to 1000, one Yojan is equals to 8
Miles, Multiplying all together(Yug x Sahasra x Yojan) =
12,000x1,000x8 miles = 96,000,000 miles (1 mile = 1.6 km)
96,000,000 miles = 96,000,000x1.6 km = 153,600,000 km}
153,600,000 km from the earth, You mistakenly thought sun
was a sweet fruit and swallowed it.
The most accurately calculated average distance between
the Sun and Earth.
The distance from the planet earth to the Sun, as calculated
by modern scientists in the 19th century, is 92,955,807
miles (149,597,870.691 km).
Was this a coincidence, or did Tulsi das have this
astronomical information, or did people at that time knew all
this information? Tulsidas just mentioned this information in
“Hanuman Chalisa.” Only lord hanuman knows.
BHASKARACHARYAS THEORY FOR
GRAVITATION

Bhaskaracharya was a famous astronomer and


mathematician of the twelfth century. He is known among
the scholar for finding standards on astronomy and math.
He expressed "Siddhānta Śiromaṇī"at 36 years old in 1150
AD. He additionally added to "Surya Siddhanta," which was
initially composed by Aryabhatta. The primary guideline of
gravity was expressed by "Bhaskaracharya" and "not
Newton" Bhaskaracharya described the laws of gravity in
the book Surya Siddhanta in the eleventh century.
Subsequently, the law existed even before Sir Isaac's
introduction (Newton was brought into the world in the
sixteenth century). Here is a portion of the slokas from his
book Surya Siddhanta that specifies how gravitational force
works:
“madhye samantandasya bhugolo vyomni tisthati
bibhranah paramam saktim brahmano dharanatmikam”.
Ref (Surya Sidhantha 12th chapter 32 sloka)

The meaning of the above sloka: The circular earth remains


at the focal point of the world in space due to the
dharanatmikam energy, which keeps the world from falling
endlessly and assists it with the standing firm.

“akrsta saktisca mahi taya yat svastham guru


svabhimukham svasaktya

akrsyate tatpatativa bhati same samantat kva patatviyam


khe”

Reference (Sidhanta Shiromani, Bhuvanakosa, 6th sloka)

The meaning of the above sloka: Every object falls on the


ground because of the earth's attraction. This power permits
the Sun, earth, moon, and heavenly bodies to remain in the
circle.
NAMASKARA THE SCIENTIFIC GREETINGS
PRACTICE

The word Namaskar or Namaste comes from the Sanskrit


word "Namaha." The word Namaste means

"a physical act that expresses the fact that you are superior
to me in all qualities and all senses."

It represents an attitude of surrender by eliminating our


inner self. Accepting that we are not even part of this
universe is self-actualization. This posture is also known as
"Anjali Mudra" or "Pranamasana" and involves lightly
leaning on another person, folding hands together, touching
palms, thumbs on the chest, fingers facing upwards. This
can be done without pronouncing the word "namaskar" or
simply pronounce the word instead of the physical
pronunciation. The palms are close to each other, which
causes pressure from the pressure points on our palms and
fingertips. We all now know that there are several health
benefits of massaging pressure points. It will help you solve
anxiety, stress, insomnia, depression, and even heart
problems. Several pressure points on the palm also help
solve physical painful breathing problems, such as
headaches, neck pain, stomach pain, migraine, etc.
SANSKRIT'S INFLUENCE ON ENGLISH

Sanskrit was the medium for education and communication


in the far-off past, and India had world-class educational
institutions like "Nalanda" and "Takshashila." So
understudies from everywhere over the world came to India
to consider.
Sir William Jones was an English linguist who first proposed
in 1786 that Greek and Latin are related to Sanskrit and
even Gothic, Celtic, and Persian may be related to Sanskrit.
"Exist anymore Sanskrit language, whatever be its artifact,
is of superb construction; more wonderful than the Greek,
more bountiful than the Latin, and more perfectly refined
than either, yet bearing to the two of them a more grounded
partiality, both in the underlying foundations of action words
and in the types of punctuation, than couldn't in any way,
shape or form have been delivered unintentionally; so solid
undoubtedly, that no philologer could inspect them each of
the three, without trusting them to have sprung from some
normal source which, maybe, does not exists; there is a
comparable explanation, however not exactly so coercive,
for assuming that both the Gothick and the Celtic, however,
mixed with an altogether different phrase, had a similar
beginning with the Sanskrit; and the old Persian may be
added to a similar family" - Sir William Jones, at the third
yearly talk before the Asiatic Society on the set of
experiences and culture of the Hindus (on 2 February 1786)
"I'm persuaded that everything has come down to us from
the banks of the Ganges," said Voltaire. He accepted that
the "Line of Brahmins showed the remainder of the world."
Kant was brought into the world on 22 April 1724 into a
Prussian German family. He is quite possibly the most
persuasive figure in the present-day western way of
thinking. His pondered Sanskrit is referenced beneath.
"Humanity along with all science more likely than not began
on the top of the world, i.e., the Himalayas."
Below mentioned words were taken from Sanskrit as English
advanced by getting words from Greek/Latin and so forth.
SAMAVARTANA

Samavartan is the capacity identified with the completion of


formal training of Vedas in 'Gurukul.' In the wake of learning
the rules of life, he returns from his Guru's Ashram. When he
finishes his schooling about religion and the law of life, his
first Ashram Brahmacharya is finished. He is presently
qualified to go into the householder stage and thought
about a capable man marrying.
Introduction to Grihastha

In the Grihasthashrama, you have more noteworthy


assurance, and with this security, you continue working out
your Sadhana, and the spouse is called Saha-dharmini. She
helps you to satisfy Dharma. Furthermore, what is Dharma?
The most elevated origination of Dharma is the satisfaction
of the obligation, and the message of Divine life shows that
the sole motivation behind life is God-acknowledgment.
Consequently, they are two out of one, each helping the
other. That is the origination of Grihasthaashrama in the
Hindu perspective on life. Indeed, all Ashramas were made
to work out this single ideal, as it were. The Grihastha
upholds the wide range of various Ashramas. The
Brahmachari doesn't procure. The Vanaprasthi doesn't
procure, and the Sanyasin doesn't acquire. Then, at that
point, who reaches? Talking according to the common
perspective, it is just the Grihasthi that accepts. The
understudy procures information. He considers and soaks up
information. The Vanaprasthi and the Sanyasin don't
procure.
Consequently, the Grihastha, without any assistance,
upholds the other Ashramas. As indicated by this Brahmana
Granth, grihastha ashram gives a chance to a person to take
care of his fatherly obligation. This is finished by wedding
and creating respectable posterity, which is permitted
uniquely in the grihastha ashram. Another section in
Manusmriti portrays the significance of this ashram, as
follows:
The grihastha ashram is the best among all ashrams since it
is just the Grihastha that gives food and different
necessities of life to individuals of the other three ashrams
(Brahmacharya, Vanaprastha, and Sanyasa).
HINDU MARRIAGE AND THE SECRET
RITUALS ADDED TO IT.

Sindoor is applied between the eyebrows, and this area is


called Ajna Chakra. This is the entry and exit point of our
jivaatma (soul) according to Sanatan Hindu Dharma.
This area is susceptible.
The Ajna chakra is very active in ladies. The pineal gland is
the actual attending of Ajna chakra. According to the
perspective of clinical science, the pineal gland addresses a
kind of atrophied photoreceptor. It is connected to a minimal
organ, and the parietal eye is also called the third eye. If
ajna is awakened and working appropriately, the pineal
gland secretes chemicals that affect our sexual
consciousness, erotic nature, and perspective.
The pineal gland produces Melatonin. Melatonin is a
Serotonin inferred chemical by likewise reverberating
Serotonin with the actual heartbeat of life 7.83 Hertz to
become Melatonin (O.M. ruler mantra is 7.843 hertz, a
similar recurrence of planet earth and is called Schumann
reverberation, the beat the DNA uses to repeat, and which
has been estimated to be transmitted from the minds and
hands of every single fruitful healer, paying little heed to
conviction or confidence.)
Mercury in the sindoor is sent into a deep state by retaining
its band hole energy of 2.1eV from the apparent range. Red
is the concealing with the most extended frequency, being
the nearest perceptible light to infrared in the
electromagnetic range with its photon energy of 2.1eV. The
innocuous and de-toxified mercury in the sindoor draws
energy vibrations from the universe. It initiates the pituitary
and pineal organ, with the goal that the body and brain of
our married ladies work better. Reverberation made aides
the pineal gland to deliver neurotransmitters, Melatonin,
DMT, and so on. Melatonin impacts the sexual turn of events
and rests wake cycles.
Sindoor is the combination of Musk and Sandalwood, the
fragrance of the musk and shoe channelizes the energy of
married life. Take a stab at having intercourse with your
accomplice after she applies sindoor on the hair separating
after a shower. It energizes delight, energy, dynamism, and
excitement
Socially: They look married, and subsequently, they are not
watched with a terrible eye
Organically: Melatonin supports the sex drive. This should
be the motivation behind why widows and virgin young
ladies are not permitted to wear sindoor.
Melatonin additionally controls the perspective and helps to
sleep well.
INDIAN WOMEN ARE WEARING BANGLES

Ladies are advised to wear bangles on their hands, anklets,


toe rings, ear studs, nose rings, and so forth, not simply for
improvement. This matter isn't identified with one or the
other practice or culture. The purposes behind wearing
every one of these trimmings are identified with physiology,
wellbeing, and brain science. A great deal of energy is
created in the wrist. This energy spreads to all pieces of the
body. Bangles are worn around the wrist. The wrist is
invigorated when it interacts with the bangles repeatedly,
which upgrades the blood course. In the past, ladies were
doing minor family occupations dissimilar to those who did
difficult positions. Bangles helped give their bodies more
energy. Since hands are constantly moving, the sound of the
bangles created electric radiations, which would spread
everywhere on the body.
Since the bangles are round fit, the energy created will be
moved to our own body through the sensory system. The
power won't be transferred somewhere else. Even though
the measure of energy produced is negligible, this energy is
accessible to the body persistently; hence wearing bangles
keeps us dynamic. Seemantham (Baby shower) is led for
pregnant ladies, and bangles are put on their wrists. The
sound of these bangles resembles music to the developing
embryo. It assists the child with recognizing the Mother.
Metal bangles or wristlets help draw out the friction-based
electricity from the garments we wear. If more bangles are
worn to cover the hand, it shields the hand from minor
wounds also.
What is the reason behind wearing toe rings by Hindu
women?
There is also a scientific basis for the tradition of married
women wearing rings on their toes. Toe rings were usually
worn on the second toe. A particular nerve on the middle
finger connects to the uterus and passes through the heart.
As we all know, the ring on the finger can keep the uterus
healthy. Regulates the constant blood flow to normalize the
menstrual cycle. Silver is a good conductor and can radiate
body heat very fast. Therefore, the ring on the toe can keep
women cool and refreshing.
WHAT IS THE USE OF MEHENDI IN INDIAN
WEDDINGS?

Other than loaning tone to the hands, mehndi is an


exceptionally incredible medicinal herb. Weddings are
stressful, and regularly, the pressure causes stress and
fevers. As the wedding day is near, the energy blended in
with anxious expectation can negatively affect the bride and
groom. The mehndi can forestall a lot of pressure since it
cools the body and holds the nerves back from getting
tense. This is why mehndi is applied on hands and feet,
which house sensitive spots in the body. Mehndi has
antiseptic properties, which can shield the couple from viral
sicknesses. Such infections are unfortunate not prolonged
before the wedding, and this therapeutic herb can loan a
solid safeguard. Any minor cuts consume or scratch that the
couple may support throughout so numerous ceremonies
and customs can be mended effectively using mehndi. It
improves blood flow in the body and upgrades general
wellbeing. The underlying act of applying mehndi on
antiquated occasions started to ensure the couple and keep
them sound.
Mehndi that is applied during Indian weddings isn't only a
plain glue of mehndi powder and water. Eucalyptus oil, a
touch of clove oil, and a couple of drops of lemon are added.
These oils not just assist in obscuring the shade of mehndi
on the body, also upgrade the advantages of mehndi and
make the glue profoundly restorative. Best of all, the smell,
the extraordinary rich tone, and the medical advantages
that mehndi loans go about as an incredible love potion.
Likewise, since the shading and smell stay for quite a long
time, it supports the sentiment in the underlying long
periods of the wedding.
WHY GROOM SHOWS ARUNDHATI
BASISHTHA NAKSHATRA TO THE BRIDE ON
THE FIRST NIGHT?

Benedetto Castelli and Galileo's assistance first saw with a


telescope that Mizar was not a solitary star in 1617. Galileo
observed a week after hearing about this from Castelli and
noted it in his journals. Thus, those two stars called
Mizar(Vasishta) A and Mizar(Vasishta) B, along with Alcor, in
1857 turned into the primary paired stars at any point
captured through a telescope.
The western world knew about Arundhati Basistha
nakshatra in 1617, but we knew this thousand years ago,
and it was part of our culture.
In marriages, there is a custom on the fourth night, where
the spouse shows Arundhati nakshatra (star) to his lady.
Even though the star isn't noticeable in the daytime, the
training is to show it emblematically. For what reason does
the spouse show Arundhati nakshatra? It isn't the star
Arundhati alone; it is a couple of stars that are shown-
Arundhati and Vasishta nakshatras. The clerics call attention
to the pair of stars to tell the new couple that they ought to,
in every case, live with love and understanding like the
couple Arundati and Vasishta. We as a whole know the
Saptarishi mandala (Ursa Major). One of the stars in this
heavenly body is Vasishta (Mizar). There is another star
exceptionally near it. This is Arundati (Alcor). These two
stars are incredibly close. They are considered as a couple
from days of yore.
As per the Puranas, the marriage of Arundhati and Vasishta
muni was an ideal marriage. They were highly steadfast and
given to one another. Once, Agni needed to have
intercourse with the spouses of the sapta rishis. Agni's
significant other Swaha came to think about it. She
expected the types of the rishis' spouses and combined with
Agni. However, she could accept just the kinds of six of the
rishis' spouses. She could not take the type of Arundhati,
Vasishta's significant other, because Arundati's modesty and
wifely dedication were so extraordinary. The other six rishis
got questions about their spouses' celibacy and isolated
from them. However, Vasishta didn't leave his better half.
They were highly faithful to one another. The spouse shows
the pair of stars, Vasishta and Arundhati, to the wife with
the wish that they ought likewise to be given to one another
like Arundhati and Vasishta.
WHY NOT USE THE DINING TABLE?

Sitting in a relaxed posture can help you focus on taste,


texture, and, most importantly, the amount of food. In this
position, we tend to eat less and more meals. Helps
digestion with Cross Legs (sukhasana).
Sukhasana helps improve the digestive process.
Place the plate on the floor to eat, move your body forward
slightly, and then return to the starting position. This
repetitive action activates the abdominal muscles, thereby
increasing gastric acid secretion and making food digest
faster. Help you lose weight.
Standing up and sitting down can increase physical
flexibility. It can also help you feel fuller faster. Don't sit on a
chair, but put down the cushion, cross your legs, and keep
your back straight. When you want to lose weight, follow
this pattern regularly. This posture can also effectively relax
your mind, thereby preventing you from overeating. Bits
help reduce physical fatigue and weakness.
Increase blood circulation.
Cross-legged posture can improve blood circulation in our
body because it calms nerves and relieves tension. In
addition, he keeps the heart healthy as if we are sitting; it
reduces the burden on our body and heart. In Sukhasana,
the blood flow is evenly distributed throughout the body.
Improve posture.
As with all other yoga asanas, you are sitting in Sukhasana
can help you maintain a good posture and relieve muscle
and joint pain. It provides you flexibility, keeps your back
straight, and provides strength to your legs. Some studies
also claim that people who develop this habit have a longer
life expectancy than people who are not accustomed to it
because it is effortless when they practice getting up.
Support requires fundamental strength and skills. Relax.
Padmasana and Sukhasana are ideal meditation postures,
which are very helpful in relieving stress in the mind. It is
also an excellent location for breathing exercises, which
increases the flow of energy—oxygen in the body. Straighten
your spine and relax your shoulder muscles. Sitting for a
long time is good for health and helps manage many
psychological and emotional factors. For example, when we
sit down to eat, we become more humble and more
confident. It also connects family members. Therefore, start
eating while sitting on the floor with your family and loved
ones, and avoid watching T.V. and gossip while eating.
WHY PUTTING A COIN INTO THE RIVER?

Copper is antimicrobial and can kill 99.99 % of infection-


causing bacteria within two hours of its exposure. Our
ancestors 5000 years ago know the antibacterial property of
copper. Copper coins were hugely used in those times. At
that time, rivers and ponds are the only sources of drinking
water. So they kept the scientific thing hidden and added a
religious angle to it. They knew that if we tell that copper
will clean water, we never drop a single coin to the river or
pond. So they told us to put a coin into the river, and our
wishes were granted, and the river will wash out all our sins.
WHY OFFERING WATER TO THE SUN?

First thing in the morning, the sunbeams contacting us are


inclining. These sunbeams are an incredible wellspring of
nutrient D, which is vital for solid and sound bones.
Unfortunately, nutrient D insufficiency is regular in
metropolitan zones. 70-80% of individuals lack this
fundamental nutrient.
Looking at the Sun through the stream of water shields our
eyes from the unsafe sunbeams and allows the helpful
beams to arrive at our eyes (bars and cones) that improve
our visual perception. These beams likewise forestall
waterfall arrangement. That is why it is recommended that
you look at the Sun through the water for 3 to 5 minutes.
After taking a bath, performing the offering causes better
adsorption of nutrient D due to delicate and graceful skin
after a shower with open pores. Our skins are adsorbent
right now, equipped for taking in 75% of the things it is in
touch with.
GOING TO TEMPLE WORSHIPING IDOL
REGULARLY

We are going to the temple and worship idols. In most


temples, idols are made of stones. Stone is nothing but a
combination of different minerals. In the Temple, bells are
ringing and chanting mantras. Different vibrations of sound
combined hit the idol and bounced back in all the direction
through its closed room with one main entrance sound is
back through the main entrance, and the people praying to
the idol soaks that sound energy.
LISTENING VISHNU SAHASRANAMAM

Vishnu Sahasranama is an ancient content, a Sanskrit sloka


that in a real sense means a thousand names of Lord
Vishnu, who is accepted to be perhaps the most loved Gods
in Hinduism. Master Vishnu is otherwise called the preserver
of this world. 'Sahasra' signifies thousand, and 'nama'
indicates name. One of the most straightforward
approaches to ask and offer appreciation to the Lord is by
presenting mantras, strotras, and shlokas.
Listening to "Vishnu sahashra Nama" enhances the mind. It
increases concentration, reduces stress. It can fill the brain
with positive thoughts and clear the clutches in the brain.
Genuine commitment originates from total confidence in the
force of the divine. Henceforth, hailing the incomparable
power and doing Nama Japa with trustworthiness does
something unique, as our supplications arrive at the Lord
sooner than anticipated. Reciting 1,000 names of Shri Hari
Vishnu draws in goodness, euphoria, and harmony or more
every one of his favors.
Reciting the mantras or shlokas or strotras assist us with
staying focussed throughout everyday life. Each word, when
articulated effectively, creates energy that can be felt
inside. This energy invigorates the littlest cells of the body
and lifts our focus power.
A sound psyche is fundamental for a solid body and the
other way around. Subsequently, we should keep both our
psychological and actual well-being liberated from pressure
and sickness. Normal reciting of the Vishnu Sahasranama or,
in any event, paying attention to Vishnu Sahasranama every
day helps enthusiasts keep up with great wellbeing.
Taking the name of the Lord routinely assists us with
remaining grounded. It instills a feeling of appreciation as
we recognize the way that there's something more
remarkable than humanity.
LISTENING TO LALITHA SAHASHRA NAMA

Lalitha Sahasranama is a dialogue among Hayagreeva and


Agastya. It is remembered for the Brahmanda Purana. It is
portrayed that Hayagreeva was looking for compensation
for not imploring the Goddess and consequently displayed
this Sahasranama. Thus this Lalitha Sahasranammam can
be described as looking for repentance.
The word Lalitha signifies 'relax' or 'play it simple.' By
reciting this, we foster mental development to take all
hardships effectively and face them with restored energy.
There was numerous research done on sound. A thousand
years ago, these mantras were engineered to affect our
parasynthetic nervous system, and a person can quickly go
to sleep in a few minutes.
Introduction to Vanaprastha

Vanaprastha is the third stage as per the Vedic ashram


system. Vanaprastha is a composite Sanskrit word, a
combination of two words Vana ( ) and Prashta ( )."
Vana" means forest and "Prashta" means going to, journey
to.
There are numerous descriptions of vanaprastha in
Mahabharata and other holy books.
When Yudhisthir became Samrat of Hastinapur after the
great war of Mahabharata, the father of the Kauravas,
Dhrutarshtra, alongside his better half Gandhari and
Pandavas mother Kunti all stayed in Hastinapura.
Bhim could not suppress his jealousy for a long time, and
whenever he found any chance, he insults and taunts
Dhutarastra. Vidur kept track of these incidents. One day he
told Dhutarastra, There is no compelling reason to carry on
with a corrupted life and remain alive on the foundation of
those whom you attempted to kill by illegal conflagration
and harming. You likewise offended one of their spouses and
usurped their realm and riches. Regardless of your
reluctance to bite the dust and your longing to live even at
the expense of honor and renown, your miserly body will
positively diminish and decay like an old piece of clothing.
So please left Hastinapura and think for vanaprastha.
At the same time, Sage Vedvyas likewise went to the
Hastinapur and convinced Yudhisthir to permit all the three
to go to the timberland. So Vedvyas Ji, alongside
Dhritarashtra, Gandhari, and Kunti, went to the woods.
For a long time, the three lived in the timberland, living like
the Vanaprastha Ashram, the Sage Sanyasi, and living as a
woods tenant in a great life, debilitating their old body.
Then, unexpectedly, a backwood fire broke out at that point,
and every individual began escaping, saving their lives. But
the three decided to sit in meditation and died in the forest
fire.
Samrat Yudhishthira ruled Hastinapura for 36 years. One
day king Yudhishthira listen to the ascension of Muralidhar
Krishna. After listening to this, he was morally down and
decided to go for mahaprasthana(Vanaprashta).
The Pandavas first go south, arriving at the salt sea(Indian
ocean). At the bank of the salt ocean, god Agni shows up
and requests that Arjuna return his bow. Agni says that he
asked this bow from Varuna for the utilization of Partha.
Presently, that reason has been served; thus, Arjuna should
return the bow to him. Asked by his siblings, Arjuna tossed
into the waters of the ocean, both the bow and the
inexhaustible quivers. They turn southwest, visiting locales
en route. From that point, they head west to see Dwaraka.
They see it lowered under the ocean, as portrayed by Arjuna
in Mausala Parva. Seeing a lovely city fallen and deadly
makes them discouraged. They turn north, stop at
Rishikesh, then, at that point, cross the Himalayas. One by
one, all left their bodies among Pandavas in the Himalaya
valley during swargarohana. Only Yudhistir survived and
went to heaven.
In this eternal world, after finish our work, we all need to go
one day. So this stage is not necessarily about dying. It's
moreover returning to the society whatever you earned in
vanaprastha journey respective to knowledge and culture.
SIGNIFICANCE OF CHARDHAM

Adi Guru Shankaracharya, the avatar of Lord Shiva, took


birth at Kalady in Kerala during 788 C.E.He revived Hindu
culture when it was in decline. He has been the fittest
Spiritual General to support the reason for Upanishads. Adi
Guru Shankaracharya achieved this inside the limited ability
to focus 20 years, for at 32 years old, he had completed his
work and had collapsed up to his indication. Building up four
maths, known as Char-Dham s in the four quadrants of our
country, this strong expert left nothing fixed in keeping up
what he accomplished. Vaishnavite Hindus accept that
meeting these Dhams achieves "Moksha" (salvation). It
involves Baindrinath, Dwaraka, Puri, and Rameswaram.
"Why Chardham? What is the secret behind these four
Dham?"
One question came to our mind why Chardham? Why not
less to it or more to it. There is a sign to it. According to
Sanatana dharma, we are having four yugas
Satya,tretaya,dwapara, and kali.Four Vedas Rig,Yajur,sham
and Atharva.Four directions East, West, North, and South.
In Satyayug, towards the north of India, near the bed of
Ganges in badrika van(barries forest), Narayana started
Tapasya. Years went by, and goddess Lakshmi could not see
this. So to save Lord Narayan from sun and rain, she turned
into a barries (Badri) tree and gave shadow. Lord Narayan
was pleased with goddess Lakshmi and gave her a boon
that people always take her name before him. Hence Hindu
always says, Lakshmi Narayan or Badri Narayan.
Adi guru Sankaracharya established a pitha or matha called
jyotrimath near Badri Narayan temple. The Badri Narayan
temple is open for a half year and is shut during winters,
and a small lamp is constantly consumed inside. When the
temple is returned after winter, this light is continuously
burning; additionally, the blossoms kept in the temple when
the temple shut stay new. Individuals think about this as a
supernatural occurrence, yet there is a logical explanation
for such a marvel. Since the oil utilized in the light is an
explosive blend is known as Essential Oil (or Volatile Oil)
separated from various spices, including the oil of clove, and
requires a limited quantity of oxygen to get singed and
delivers no carbon dioxide.
Adi guru Sankaracharya composed the formula of the oil
made of traditional spices blended in with Ghee made of
cow's milk. Since the antiquated occasions, the occupants of
the Mana Village close to Badrinath are setting up this blend
for the temple. It is stringently educated to plan by the
young ladies of under ten years for religious reasons.
A flower named Ban Tusli (Scientific Name-Croton
bonplandianus) is offered in Badrinath, which stays new for
longer days, and that is why it is liked to offer at the temple.
Was Rama Setu man made?
In tretaya yuga towards the south of India, as indicated by
legends, this is where Lord Ram and his younger brother
Laxman and devotee Hanuman constructed a bridge(Rama
Setu) to arrive at Lanka to save his better half Sita who had
been snatched before by Ravan, the king of Lanka. The
Ramanatha Swamy Temple devoted to Lord Shiva involves a
significant space of Rameswaram.
When Ram was returning alongside Sita and others in
Pushpaka-Vimaana (the plane Pushpak), he showed Sita
everything related to his endeavors and the incredible
extension he worked. He told how it would have great strict
significance.

||
|

ēṣa sēturmayā baddhaḥ sāgarē salilārṇavē ||


tavahētōrviśālākṣi nalasētuḥ suduṣkaraḥ |

(vālmīki rāmāyaṇ 6-123-16b, 17a)

Ram said to Sita: - "O the huge peered toward Sita! Here is
the extension called Nala Setu, which was so hard to
execute for other people, got worked by me over the salt-
ocean for the wellbeing of you.
So Shri Ram fabricated it for Sita. He appeared and offered
everything to his favorite Sita, how and what he did when
she was not with him.

||
|

paśya sāgaramakṣōbhyan vaidēhi varuṇālayam ||


apāramabhigarjantan śaṅkhaśuktiniṣēvitam |

(vālmīki rāmāyaṇ 6-123-17b, 18)

O, Sita! See this thundering imperturbable and vast sea, the


home of Varuna (the lord of waters), which is overflowing
admirably with lounge chairs and clamshells.
In tretaya yuga, around 5000 BC, our ancestors know how to
build a bridge. The engineers named Nala and Nila in the
Ramas army made the bridge. The bridges we are preparing
wash away in a bit of heavy rain, but we can see the
Ramasetu even today from sate light submerged in water.

(Google satellite image of Ramasetu)

The Ram Setu is a chain of sandbars between Pamban


Island (otherwise called Rameswaram Island) in Tamil Nadu
of India and Mannar Island in Sri Lanka. The bridge is around
48 KM long.
Research says that the bridge is artificial dependent on
examinations found on the arrangement and citing
researchers from Indiana University Northwest, University of
Colorado Boulder, and Southern Oregon University.
On top of the stone bridge, there is a sand bed which is
shown from the map. The sand bed is around 4000 years
old, a natural formation, but the stone beneath is about
7000 years old.
Found Dwarka evidence from the submerged city.
Dhaam Dwarka became famous in the Dvapara Yuga when
Lord Krishna made Dwarka his home in the western ghat.
Dwarka(Doors) coming from the word Dwar.It means city of
doors. As per the research, around 40 big doors are there in
submerged Dwarka city.
After killing Kamsa, Krishna and his older brother Balarama
set Ugrasena on the seat and stayed in Mathura. This
enormously irritated Kamsa's father-in-law Jarasandha, the
head of Magadha. He over and over assaulted Mathura to
retaliate for Kamsa's passing. Even though Krishna and his
little Yadava armed force had the option to overcome
Jarasandha's swarms without fail, it's anything. Still, an
inconsistent challenge wherein better numbers were bound
than tell over the long haul. So Krishna drove the Yadavas
toward the west coast. They fabricated the braced town of
Dwaraka on the antiquated Kushastali, which turned into
Krishna's seat for the remainder of his remarkable life.
Dwaraka was lowered in the ocean 36 years after the
Mahabharata War. Cautioned, Krishna had convinced the
Yadavas to move to higher ground in Prabhas (close to
current Somnath). Presently, the Yadavas, or possibly their
chiefs, obliterated themselves. Krishna himself died after
few days by Jara sabar's arrow.
The Marine Archeological Unit (MAU) of the Archeological
Survey of India (ASI) led an unearthing in 1979 under the
oversight of Dr. S. R. Rao (quite possibly the most regarded
archeologists of India). An emeritus researcher at the
marine paleontology unit of the National Institute of
Oceanography, Rao has uncovered countless Harappan
destinations remembering the port city of Lothal for Gujarat.
He tracked down an unmistakable earthenware known as
brilliant red product, which could be over 3,000 years of
age. Because of the after-effects of these unearthings, the
quest for the indented city in the Arabian Sea started in
1981. Researchers and archeologists have constantly
chipped away at the site for a very long time.
The task for submerged investigation was authorized in
1984, straight by the then Prime Minister for a very long
time. Unearthing under the ocean is a challenging and
demanding undertaking. The side sweep sonar offers a
perspective on the ocean's bottom. The sonar signals sent
inside the water return the signs. Perusing of the characters
uncovers the broad idea of the article submerged.
Submerged bikes, other than the standard jumping gear like
scuba, were additionally squeezed into administration.
Somewhere between 1983 and 1990, S.R.Rao's group went
over revelations that established the existence of a lowered
city.
Jagannath Puri is the last among four Dham.
Lord Jagannath, Devi Subhadra, and elder brother
Balabhadra are loved in Puri (The Purusottama Kshetra). The
divinities are situated on the Bejeweled Pedestal (Ratna
Simhassana). Shree Jagannath Puri Temple, perhaps the
most spectacular landmark of the Indian State Odisha, was
built by a renowned lord of the Ganga Dynasty, Ananta
Varman Chodaganga Deva, tracing back to the twelfth
century at the coastline Puri. The primary temple of
Jagannath is a dazzling and astonishing design developed in
Kalinga engineering, with a statue of 65 meters put on a
raised stage. There are countless celebrations of Sri
Jagannath during the year saw in Puri. The main celebration
is the World renowned Rath Yatra (Car Festival) and Bahuda
Yatra. An enormous group is accumulated to observe Lord
Jagannath during this celebration.
Texts say God Vishnu wakes up from Badri, does his sringar
in Dwarika, has lunch in Puri, and takes rest in
Rameswaram. So Lord Vishnu takes his lunch here, and his
lunch should be grand. So Every day, 56 different items are
prepared and gave to Jagannath.
In all over India, most of the deities are made of stone, but
Here, the deities are made of neem wood. There are
different reasons for the same.
The neem wood used to make idols of the blessed Trinity
Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra is likewise called
'Daru Bramha.’If in any Odia schedule year, two months of
ashadha falls, then the symbols are replaced by recently cut
idols. This ceremony is called 'Nav Kalevar.'
The act of utilizing neem wood follows custom just as
practicality. For example, Neem wood doesn't get attacked
by termites, and now and then, the time between two
navkalevars could be 50–60 years; subsequently, neem
wood is the ideal wood making of symbols.
After new deities are sit in a ratna singhasana, The old
deities are kept inside the temple in a spot known as Koili
Vaikuntha. Koili signifies "burial ground," and Vaikuntha
signifies "Paradise." It is where the old divinities will be
buried, and the new ones made a temple in India aside from
the Jagannath temple observes the burial service of its
gods. After the exchange of 'Brahma padartha,' the old idols
are considered inert. 'Kothasunasia' servitors dig up a pit of
around 25 feet long, 20 feet in width, and 10 feet down.
If the deities were made of stone after being buried, they
wouldn't destroy by time, but wood can destroys by time.
Some old priests of Jagannath temple who change the
‘Brahma padartha’ say it's something like a full-grown rabbit
in hand and kind of a good conductor of electricity and very
radioactive, so their hands and faces are covered with
different layers of silk sarees, but still, they can feel it. If
that’s true, stones are also good conductors of electricity, so
to make it safe and neutralized should keep inside
nonconductor like wood. It's one of the reasons all the three
deities are made of wood.
TEMPLES SIGNIFICANCE IN HINDUISM

The idea of God in Hinduism runs in two parallel lines like


railway tracks which never meet together. One line
comprises the concept of Nirguna Bramha (God without
indication).
The second line comprises Shagun Bramha (the exemplified
type of God). Since the spirits in the human body are
encapsulated spirits, it gets simpler for people to appease
before the symbols of Gods in sign.
The need to focus on the encapsulated type of God was the
primary purpose of developing temples for Gods and
Goddesses. Concentration is required to find God's
existence. The trouble was referenced by Arjun in Gita.
(Srimad Bhagavad Gita. Verse 34 ,chapter6)
: |
|| 34||

chañchalaṁ hi manaḥ kṛiṣhṇa pramāthi balavad dṛiḍham |


tasyāhaṁ nigrahaṁ manye vāyor iva su-duṣhkaram||

Translation: The mind is very restless, turbulent, strong, and


obstinate, O Krishna. It appears to me that it is more difficult
to control than the wind.
4000–5000 years prior, Vedas and Upanishads were created.
Vedas were composed widely, and Upanishads were
principally educated verbally, expressed information
business. The educator (Guru) showed you, and henceforth,
the information developed. The whole accentuation was on
paying attention to the educators (Shruti). For long years
this was done. Before beginning anything new, say learning
another course, starting a business, individuals used to
perform Yadnyas (Yagyas) or sacrifice. Fundamentally, it's
anything but a function with the holy fire as the observer
(Agni-Sakshi) to seek favors from some divinity. Indeed,
even there, the mantras and shlokas are said. There were
no temples during this time. Every one of the Vedas and
Upanishads alludes to Gods and Goddesses significantly
through their deeds and characteristics instead of
appearances.
Puranas were composed during Leap to 2000–2500 years
before. Upanishads were currently being written. Puranas
depict Gods' and Goddesses' appearances. They disclose to
you what they look like unequivocally, for example, skin
tone, tallness, and so on. This is the place where the idea of
Pooja essentially supplanted Yadnyas. Presently, more
individuals began performing Satya-Narayana, instead of a
Yadnya. Currently, you adored symbols of Gods and
Goddesses, which were etched by their portrayals in
Puranas and different works. It is similar to making films out
of intriguing books, isn't it! The symbols depicted each
component impeccably. Presently, you didn't have to pay
attention to the Guru or Pandit serenade the shlokas that
portray the gods. The accentuation moved from Shruti to
Darshan (seeing).
This is the place where individuals began building the
temple, recognitions for a specific God or Goddess,
contingent upon the area, availability, and local significance.
This is accurately the motivation behind why you don't see
numerous temples more established than 2500 years. That
is the place where the symbol of love began. Temples were
created because the symbols must be kept someplace.
Fundamentally, the whole center moved to "speedy
otherworldliness," "two-minute contact with the divinity,"
"Go. Rapidly do the Darshan and come." The significant
thing is, everybody couldn't peruse the writings, for different
reasons. Along these lines, Darshan was intended to be the
quick method of understanding what the divinity is
attempting to pass on to you.
Here is a model. Pick any precisely made Ganesh idol. You'll
see four hands, each holding something. The writings
fundamentally disclose to you this.
One hand is loosened up with the palm confronting you. This
is the Abhaya mudra. This means: Don't be apprehensive.
One hand is holding a plate brimming with desserts.
Presently, this isn't what it is currently depicted. The laddus
are not for him to eat. They're an image. This means: I will
carry success to you. (Metaphorically him, it's you. Through
buckling down.)
One hand holds a hatchet (Parashu). This means: Bad karma
will be rebuffed.
One hand holds a lotus (Padma). This means: Good karma
will be compensated. The environment of the temple was
built in such a way that it is easier to concentrate thousands
of devotees at the same time.
As compared to other religions, the Hindu religion is more
departmental. If you see a pahalban(bodybuilder), he
chooses hanuman as his istadev. If you go to a musician or a
writer, his istadevi is Goddess Saraswathi. The businessman
keeps istadevi as goddess Lakshmi. The logic behind istadev
is to concentrate or to focus on their selective profession.
The sense of self is the best adversary of humankind and
the root cause of loot, murder, lust, and anger. Among
thousand of the devotee, ego is quickly evaporated in the
temple, and the individual becomes a nonentity. Hair is the
symbol of ego and richness. As we dissolve our ego and
unified among all as a symbol of this, we gave our hair to
god. Mostly all of the Hindus shaving heads in temples like
Tirupati, Haridwar, etc.
RITUALS INSIDE TEMPLES AND THEIR
SIGNIFICANCE

Temples are found purposely at where the positive energy is


accessible bundantly from the attractive and electric wave
movements of north/south post push. The symbol of God is
set in the center focus of the temple, known as
"Garbhagriha" or Moolasthanam." In a perfect world, the
temple's design is worked after the symbol has been put in
a high sure wave-driven spot. This moolasthanam is where
earth's attractive waves are found to be generally
outrageous.
A Temple is a smaller than expected universe that involved
the five components and a directing god. A temple is an
outgrowth of the god which has its autonomous insight and
from which energy is continually emanating. Temples were
intended to be spaces where the psyche unexpectedly
moves inside, and contemplation happens quickly. Each part
of the Temples, from the design to the ceremonies to the
sorts of love offered, has been intentionally made to get this
experience going.
Temple is the spot that contains unadulterated vibrations of
attractive and electric fields with positive energy. Temples
were inherent in such a way that the floor at the focal point
of the Temples were acceptable conductors of these positive
vibrations permitting them to go through our feet to the
body. Thus it is essential to walk exposed footed while you
enter the center focus of the temple.
Another realized explanation is shoes are utilized wherever
henceforth they will, in general, get every one of the
pollutants like soil, germs, and so on, which ruin the
temperate climate of the temple and is the wellspring of
negative energy.
Individuals visiting the temple ought to and will Ring the bell
before entering the inward Garbhagriha where the primary
idol is placed. These rings are made so when they produce a
sound. It's everything except fortitude on the Left and Right
sides of our cerebrums. The second we ring the chime, it's
anything but a sharp and suffering sound that goes on for at
least 7 seconds in reverberation mode. The length of
reverberation is adequate to actuate every one of the seven
mending places in our body—these outcomes in purging our
mind from every adverse idea.
Bells had different reasons likewise, as the majority of the
old temple never had entryways and were situated close to
hills and forest, there would have been particular
opportunities for creatures, Insects, birds to take cover. Yet,
the bell sound doesn't permit any of the living animals to
support inside for quite a while. So don't be shocked if you
discover Old temples overflowing with energy inside with
less residue, no indication of bugs or creatures.
The internal center of the temple is typically dull where the
idol is set. This is because we usually close our eyes to pray,
and when we open our eyes, we should see the camphor
which was lit to do the Aarthi before the idol. This light seen
inside the dull initiates our sight sense.
The other explanation of lighting camphor is for the symbol
to assimilate the warmth and vibrate inside the Garbhagudi
for a certain period.
Put our hands over the camphor blazes and afterward
contact eyes – Touch Sense Activated
Just explicit blossoms are utilized for offering to God like
flower petals, jasmine, marigold dependent on various
components. Among them, the scent is generally significant.
The smell of the blossom, camphor, and occasion sticks
together have the solid pith to keep your smell sense
dynamic and outstanding, offering tranquility to the brain.
The following piece of your demonstration is to drink
theertham in a perfect world from silver or a copper vessel.
The water utilized for theertham, as a rule, would contain
Thulasi leaves plunged in the water and should be put away
essentially for eight hours in the copper vessel. As indicated
by Ayurveda, water put away in a copper vessel can adjust
all the three doshas in your body (Vata, Kapha, and pitta),
and it does as such by emphatically charging the water.
Moreover, by drinking this Thulasi water, you actuate the
taste sense. Different advantages of drinking Thulasi water
from a copper or silver vessel likewise incorporates remedy
for take-off throats, Fever and Common Cold, Coughs,

At long last, after playing out all the above customs, you
need to stroll around the icon inside the Garbhagirha, the
inward most center of temple clockwise way for multiple
times. Pradakshina scholarly methods right side in Sanskrit.
The symbol inside the Garbhagriha ingests all the energy
from the chime sound, camphor heat and vibrates the
positive energy inside the Garbhagriha for a specific period.
At the point when you do the pradakshina now of time, you
will, in general, ingest this load of positive vibrations once
your five faculties are initiated. This vibration inside the
Garbhagriha is impressively less, and subsequently, it is
encouraged to visit the temple all the time and follow
similar customs once more.
On the brow, between the two eyebrows, recognition is
considered a significant nerve point in the human body
since antiquated occasions. The Tilak is accepted to forestall
the deficiency of "energy," the red 'kumkum' between the
eyebrows is said to hold energy in the human body and
control the different degrees of fixation. While applying
kumkum, the focuses on the mid-forehead area and Adnya-

Coconut and Banana are the only two natural products in
this world that are viewed as "Consecrated natural
products." Any remaining organic products are corrupted
natural products (incompletely eaten natural products). For
instance, the apple tree develops from the seed of another
consumed product of the soil. Therefore, the natural product
is treated as spoiled.
On account of coconut and banana, the shell or the sleeves
isn't utilized for anything. A coconut tree can be grown by
planting the whole coconut itself, and the Banana tree
develops with the examining. This is the motivation behind
why Coconut and Banana has a significant spot in every
single, strict action.
Our Ancestors had discovered this reality sometime in the
past, and they had made it's anything but a framework that
is as yet followed strictly.
Introduction to SANNYASA

Sannyasa is a Sanskrit expression that alludes to a phase in


an individual's life or otherworldly turn of events. Therefore,
one revokes material belongings to focus absolutely on the
profound issue. Their objective now is to accomplish
moksha, which is freedom from the pattern of death and
resurrection.
Immensely progressed yogis may search out this kind of
way of life to develop or even total their profound yoga
venture. For most professionals, in any case, sannyasa is a
future objective, which people can pursue by relinquishing
pointless belongings and limiting mess.
Sannyasa is a life of renunciation and the fourth stage inside
the Hindu arrangement of four life stages known as
Ashramas, with the initial three being Brahmacharya,
Grihastha, and Vanaprastha. Sannyasa is customarily
conceptualized for men or women in late long stretches of
their life. Yet, youthful brahmacharis have had the decision
to skirt the householder and retirement stages, repudiate
typical and materialistic pursuits and devote their lives to
otherworldly pursuits.
In this stage, both the saints and the scientists are the
same. Both of their brains are working similarly. They are so
focused that it is very tough to feel different emotions. They
were always thinking about the target. The human brain is
developed to get a solution. It hallucinates and will try to
provide various solutions to achieve the target. Rishis
trained their brains to not require practical thinking of
complex machines without having or preparing the
prototypes.
Einstein's Dreams is a novel that is an excellent example of
our theory. Alan Lightman wrote this novel in 1992, and the
novel fictionalizes Albert Einstein as a young researcher who
is pained by dreams as he manages his hypothesis of
relativity in 1905. The book comprises 30 parts, each
investigating one long time that Einstein had during this
period. The system of the book consists of a preface, three
breaks, and an epilogue. Einstein's companion, Michele
Besso, shows up in these segments. Each fantasy includes
the origination of time. A few situations might include
misrepresentations of genuine marvels identified with
relativity, and some might be completely unbelievable.
Nevertheless, the book exhibits the relationship every
person needs to time and hence profoundly certifies
Einstein's hypothesis of relativity.
WHO WAS THE FIRST PLASTIC SURGEON?

Statue of Surgeon Sushruta in the Royal Australia


College of Surgeons, Melbourne

From the sixth century, Sushruta was a doctor in ancient


India who referred to the present time as the "Father of
Indian Medicine" and "Father of Plastic Surgery" for
inventing and creating surgeries. His work regarding the
matter, the Sushruta Samhita, is viewed as the most
seasoned content on the planet on the plastic medical
procedure and is exceptionally viewed as one of the Great
Trilogy of Ayurvedic Medicine
The 'Sushruta Samhita' contains the significant surgical
content of the Vedas and is viewed as the most exceptional
aggregation of surgical acts of now is the right time.
'Sushruta Samhita' is the bible of plastic surgery procedure
and contains composite lessons of the medical practice and
every one of the unified branches, including birthing
assistance and making it a thorough composition on the
whole clinical discipline. Sushruta accepted that information
on both medical surgery and medicine are fundamental to
establish a decent specialist who in any case "resembles a
bird with just one wing." indeed, Sushruta accentuated in
his content that except if one has sufficient information on
pertinent sister parts of learning, one can't accomplish
capability in one's subject of study. As indicated by
Sushruta, "Anyone, who wishes to secure intensive
information on life systems, should set up a dead body and
cautiously notice and inspect every one of its parts." The
strategy for the study was to lower the body in water and
permit it to decay, followed by an assessment of the
disintegrating body at stretches to examine structures, layer
by layer, as they got uncovered after deterioration. The
main highlight note here is that the analysis was performed
without utilizing a blade.
Susruta practiced medicine in northern India around the
area of advanced Varanasi by the banks of the Ganges
River. He was viewed as an incredible healer and sage
whose gifts were thought to have been given by divine
beings. As indicated by legend, the god passed their clinical
understanding down to the sage Dhanvantari, who
instructed it to his devotee Divodasa, who then, at that
point, educated Sushruta.
Susruta fundamentally created diverse careful methods (like
utilizing the head of an ant to sew stitches) and, most
strikingly, concocted the act of restorative medical
procedure. His forte was rhinoplasty, the recreation of the
nose, and his book trains others on precisely how a
specialist ought to continue:
The wine was utilized as a sedative, and patients were
urged to drink intensely before a methodology. The
utilization of wine prompted the advancement of a sedative
including both liquor and cannabis incense to either actuate
rest or dull the faculties to a trance during techniques like
rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty was a particularly significant advancement in
India due to the long-standing custom of rhinotomy
(removal of the nose) as a type of discipline. Sentenced
crooks would regularly have their noses cut off to stamp
them as dishonest, yet removal was likewise often
rehearsed on ladies blamed for adultery – regardless of
whether they were not demonstrated liable. When marked
in this design, an individual needed to live with the shame
for the remainder of their life. Reconstructive medical
procedure, hence, offered an expectation of recovery and
routineness.

Take a cleaned copper plate in an earthenware vessel. Cover


it first with copper sulfate and afterward with damp
sawdust. From that point forward, put a mercury-
amalgamated zinc sheet on top of the sawdust to keep it
away from polarization. The contact will create energy
known by the twin name of Mitra-Varuna. Here Mitra means
cathode, and Varuna means Anode. This momentum will
take water into Pranavayu(Oxygen) and
Udanavayu(Hydrogen). we consume oxygen. Without it, we
cannot leave. So oxygen is called pranavayu. A chain of 100
containers is said to give a victorious power. (p. 422)
Electrical energy is created by this specific get-together of
synthetic substances and wire; that energy is double.
Water can be parted utilizing that energy. After parting of
water, two gasses are delivered. The power can be
intensified if the cells are collected in series. Thus, there is a
material OR a texture that is impenetrable and can be
saddled to construct a design that will not permit air to get
away. Udaan Vaayu, created in the wake of parting water,
can be caught in a sealed shut get-together. Udaan
Vaayu(Hydrogen Gas) is light and self-light. The self-
lightness of Udaan Vaayu can be bridled to construct a
design that is fit for flying in the air.
SIGNIFICANCE OF ANTYESTI KARMA

Antyeshti referred to as Antim-Sanskar among the 16


sanskar, are the rituals related to funeral service. So
Antyesti is an appropriate term for the entire cycle. We
accept that after the spirit has lived in the body for such a
long time, it will be joined to the body, and if it is permitted
to spoil or be covered in its body, it will remain close by. In
this manner, consuming a cadaver will return the spirit to
where it ought to be before being covered. So sadhus
(illuminated individuals) and youngsters are not incinerated
but covered because the soul of a sadhu is now edified. So
the kid's spirit won't be in touch with the body for quite a
while and get joined to the body.
Pancha Mahabhootas (five components) is the most
flawless. However, all leftover Mahabharata gets messy
after being utilized for decontamination. For instance, after
water is used to clean the earth, it gets polluted and can't
be used; the breathed-in air becomes carbon dioxide and
can't support life. Comparative things are additionally
substantial for the earth and the ether.
Fire is the solitary exemption. Fire is utilized to consume and
sanitize, stays unadulterated, and is fantastic.
Consequently, in the ideas of Agni Pareeksha, Agni Saakshi,
and so forth, fire is utilized to deliver the body back to its
starting point in Pancha Mahabhootas: every spirit is made
out of five Mahabhootas, to be specific Dhara (earth), Nabh
(ether), and Vayu (air), Varuna (water), Agni (fire). After
death, the body ought to be separated into these numerous
Mahabodhi once more.
The incineration of the body advises us that the body isn't
significant. However, Atman is substantial. The body will die,
yet Atman will consistently exist. For instance, this is rather
than Christianity, in which individuals enter the realm of
paradise with their actual bodies, so they cover their bodies
until the day of judgment. In Hinduism, it is Atman, not the
body, that can arrive at Moksha. The body addresses a
sense of self/ahankar. Consuming it resembles giving up.
This is the philosophical premise of incineration demanded
by numerous factions.
To be exact, Hinduism is a combination of humanism,
science, and philosophy. Hinduism (Sanathana Dharma) is
essentially a culture, not a religion followed by India.
The way of life of a space depends on the climatic
conditions and nature of the area. The incineration of the
body is a genuine illustration of this reality. India's dirt is wet
(contrasted with Gulf nations and European nations) and has
more dampness. If the body is made in progress,
biodegradation will occur, and body fluids will move away.
Since the dirt is adequately clammy, these liquids will blend
in with the water in the soil, so drinking water sources, for
example, wells and streams, will be sullied. This can cause
illness. Incineration likewise helps not to squander land.
After the body is incinerated, there is an approach to put a
few grains (Nava danyas, nine seeds) in the crematorium
(this is as yet continued in southern India, I don't know
about different parts). This methodology is a straightforward
method to bring up the significance of horticulture in
Hinduism (or Indian culture). This is done to guarantee that
horticultural land isn't squandered. A similar land parcel is
utilized again for agricultural purposes. So there is no
graveyard in this culture. A similar land is being used for
agribusiness once more. The entirety of this is written in
Smrithies, which contains the code to follow The conduct of
individuals of a specific culture. As per its inclination and
climatic conditions, each Smrithi will be followed inside a
particular timeframe. Smrithi can be altered on a case-by-
case basis (given evolving climate, way of life, and so forth).
Change as indicated by Indian culture.
Customs, areas, or explicit nations can receive their
internment strategies as per usual and climatic conditions.
This bodes well. In the Middle East nations/Gulf, most
regions are deserts. Subsequently, religion started there.
That is, Islam follows this entombment strategy that suits its
inclination. Comparable circumstances can influence the act
of internment among Christians. Thus, with everything
taken into account, contingent upon climate conditions, it
may not be essential to consume dead bodies in different
nations. But since India has its climatic attributes, our
precursors formed many rules appropriate for the country.
They also prevailed regarding understanding their thoughts
by framing great traditions to shroud logical realities (As
referenced above, Antyeshti in Shodasa Sansakara is one of
them).
Consuming dead bodies is perhaps the best model.
Different reasons: If we cover that spot, it should be utilized
by just a single individual; Others can't utilize it for years
and years: What number of sites are required? There will be
more graveyards on the planet: After many years, if the
burial ground is sold accidentally, individuals will fall into
the notion of phantoms: we accept that the spirit is undying;
demise represents the presence of an individual's body. The
end, however the start of another excursion for the soul.
Then, at that point, this spirit is resurrected into another
living thing, encountering a similar pattern of birth,
development, and last passing, just to begin the cycle once
more. Hence, incineration of a person’s carcass ought to
free the deceased’s soul from any connection to the body it
recently possessed. An individual doesn't generally pass on
of advanced age, and he may pass on of sickness. If it is
scorched, the microorganisms in your body will bite the dust
(no microbes will endure the temperature of the fire). In this
way, consuming the body after death guarantees that no
homicide will happen and keeps it's anything but a
wellspring of any sickness transmission. The customary
conviction among us accepts that the human body is made
out of five components: earth, fire, water, air, and sky. The
incineration service of Hindus expects to reestablish the
body to these components. The body continuously got back
to the earth, air, atmosphere, and fire, consuming under the
sky; the remains were gathered deferentially and unloaded
in the stream. It is said that exorbitant grieving of the
expired will keep the spirit from being isolated from the
friends and family and incapable of leaving on another way,
that is, to begin another life. Incineration (and ensuing
grieving services) assists with disposing of the vast majority
of the things that help individuals remember the presence,
which likewise assists families with adapting to misfortunes.
Numerous Hindu sacred destinations are based on the
banks of renowned waterways. Banaras is situated along the
hallowed stream Ganges and is the holiest spot. It is viewed
as exceptionally consecrated, and all Hindus desire to pass
on there. Indeed, this longing is solid to such an extent that
some ardent Hindus get ready to move to Banaras in their
later years to join with God.
As per the Buddhist Bardo Thodol and the Hindu Garuda
Purana Worlds, Jeeva (soul) leaves the body at death and
stays as Pretha for 11 days, after which it will go to Yama's
home for the last judgment. Pretha is essentially an
apparition. Like people, apparitions likewise experience
different feelings like an annoyance, want, and appetite.
However, they have nobody or holder to smother or deliver
these feelings. During these 11 days, it is said that the
apparition will be exceptionally appended to his past body
and family. Particularly in the initial three days, people and
apparitions have been messed, not realizing that they exist
outside the body and are dull and dead. They said that due
to his actual connection to the body, he continually
attempted to get back to the body. This is the reason Hindus
demand consuming the body within three days. Fire is
viewed as hallowed in Hinduism. Consume everything until
there isn't anything. Then again, internment is a sluggish
cycle, coordinating the body's five components into the
universe's five components. By incinerating the carcass, the
body that survives from the phantom is eliminated from the
outside of the earth, with the goal that the apparition can
continue forward following 11 days. This additionally
decreases the chance of remaining as an apparition on an
actual level. For quite a while, Garuda Purana referenced
individuals who have encountered unnatural and
unexpected losses (because of mishaps, suicides, and so
on) and bodies that have not been incinerated as per
guidelines. During the service, they saved the apparition for
quite a while. This is because the body is viewed as a holder
for the soul. When it stays on the earth, the pith and life
energy of the individual exists. This is the reason in
Hinduism, the assortments of incredible yogis, holy people,
and sacred people are rarely singed yet covered, and Shiva
lingam is introduced on them or made into spots of love.
The body of a holy person or holy person is the holder of the
sacred soul. By covering it, we can permit the yogi's
sacrosanct energy or the idea of material presence to
decidedly affect individuals around him.
WHY ARE CROWS GIVEN IMPORTANCE
DURING PITRU-PAKSHA?

We are providing food to the crows, particularly during the


Shraadha time frame. In numerous families, crows are given
food consistently, yet Shraadha Day has its extraordinary
importance. Most Hindus accept that their precursors visited
them for those performing Shraadha and delighted in food
as crows. Hence, they will be highly cheerful when the crow
shows up promptly and jumps on the food. This may appear
moronic to specific individuals. However, the individuals
who trust this custom consider it's anything but a gift to
their ancestors. To repeat, accept and unbelief are closely-
held convictions, and nobody else can do anything about it.
In any case, regardless, for fans, a couple of issues might
arise. For what reason is it mainly the crow? Why not
different creatures or birds? Is there a particular justification
for this? This is an overall article attempting to investigate
the responses to these inquiries.
Before proceeding, let me give you some data about
Ravens. First, they are species like crows (even though they
have numerous distinctions). Strangely, countless old
fantasies (Greek, Roman, Nordic, Celtic, and so forth) give
the crow some profound significance.
In Indian mythology, crows and pitrus are associated for
different reasons. We will see two of them here.
”KHA” sound: The sound made by the crow is “Kha.”
This is viewed as a vital word in Sanskrit. Essentially, “kha”
is the principal consonant in Sanskrit. It has various
implications, like sun, void, sky, ether, air, paradise, bliss,
sacred circle, Brahma, and so forth. “Kha” is likewise an
inquiry word, which is a real sense implies “why”. Everybody
must discover their life objectives. The essential goal of
individuals is to find answers to three inquiries; “Who am
I”?; “Where am I from”?; And “Where do I follow I die”? In
any case, we consume for our whole lives in external
fulfillment and interest and don't hold quick to the key
perspective of life. Then again, our progenitors trusted that
we would keep on getting a handle on our spirits through
self-request. In this way, in “pitru-paksha,” we use crows to
celebrate our predecessors. When we give food to the
crows, we will hear the sound of “Ka,” reminding us to ask.
When the crow isn't there, we likewise call “kha” and “kha”
and welcome the crow. In any case, again, we neglect to
recollect the internal significance, yet we regard the outside
custom.
The tale of Ramayana:
There is a tale about the northern god, Ramayana, with the
accompanying substance:
Once, a lord named Maruta performed Maheshwara Yagna.
All divine beings, including Indra, have taken an interest in
penance. Ravana, who was a foe of the celestial beings,
likewise went to the conciliatory spot. When the divine
beings saw him with sickening dread, they transformed into
odd monsters and escaped Lobo Na. Indra turns into a
peacock, Cooper turns into a chameleon, Varuna turns into a
swan, Yama turns into a crow, etc. Subsequently, everybody
got away from the strong Ravana
When he left, every one of the divine beings got back to
their unique appearances. They additionally expressed
gratitude toward their creatures for saving their lives. Since
the type of Hades crow, he gives the accompanying favors
crow.

IS OFFERING WATER TO PEEPAL NOT ONLY A
PRACTICE BUT ALSO A MEDIUM FOR
PROMOTION?

The Banyan Tree is being considered to be the national


tree of India. Although individuals don't prefer to eat the
products of the banyan tree, individuals who eat it, for the
most part, say that the product of the banyan tree is
palatable and wealthy in supplements. If you have any skin
disturbance, it very well may be utilized for something
similar, and they can likewise ease expanding. Indeed, even
today, bark and leaf removes are being used to quit dying.
The buds of the leaves are utilized to set up a glue for the
therapy of ongoing runs/diarrhea. Previously, a
straightforward way for individuals to attempt to dispose of
hemorrhoids and related illnesses was to utilize latex
produced using the buds and leaves of the banyan tree to
calm draining from hemorrhoids. Quite possibly, the most
exceptional employments of this tree is to treat female
fruitfulness. Utilizing airborne roots to clean teeth can assist
with forestalling gum and tooth issues. Notably, the banyan
tree can deliver shellac, used as a surface clean and
cement. Notably, the banyan tree can create shellac, which
is utilized as a surface clean and glue.
In ancient times, when a framework accepted that the ruler
would wed one more spouse, the ability to control oneself to
be a similarly influential man was pretty much as impressive
as each ruler. As an individual, everything emerges from the
milk given to him by the banyan tree for individuals to drink
or use as medication. Particularly now in the town, there is
still such a maxim. I accept that even now, a banyan leaf is
picked each day in Batasha, and a sort of sweet food is
picked. Individuals who eat it consistently will feel like steel.
This gives fundamental nutrients in the body, makes each
nerve as solid as steel, builds imperativeness and
essentialness, and keeps individuals alive. He has genuinely
steady and reliable wellbeing.
The god of death, Yamaraj, is identified with the Bodhi tree,
which is usually planted external the town close to the
crematorium. The standing and truth conveyed by this tree
are that it doesn't permit a piece of sod to develop under it.
At the point when he knew his realm and world, it was
Gautama Buddha. He sat under this tree and would think for
a few hours together. Subsequently, this tree involves a
prime spot in the existence of Buddhists and the individuals
who love Buddhism on the ground. They accept that this
tree is the profound force left by Buddha Shakyamuni for
Buddhists to draw strength and motivation from the peepal
tree. Accordingly, the peony tree doesn't permit any
resurrection or restoration, and even though it gives
conceal, it doesn't provide food. This is the reason it's
anything but part of birth services like marriage and labor,
which incorporate food conveyance plants, which
reestablish rapidly and have a short timeframe of realistic
usability, like bananas, mangoes, coconuts, betel nuts, rice,
and even grass. What's more, individuals believe that there
are two kinds of holiness: one is identified with ephemeral
material reality, and the other is identified with perpetual
otherworldly existence. Two natural products appropriate for
this sort of school belief are bananas and coconuts. Peepal
is reasonable for the last mentioned. The banana that is
colored consistently is an image of the body and is
reestablished, while Peepal is simply the spirit, which never
perishes and rehashes the same thing.
The convenience of Peepal trees, logically Peepal is a sort of
water-engrossing tree. They are never planted or planted in
the scope of the means to fabricate houses or condos. The
root framework is all over the place and is destructive to the
structure. They draw water as food from plants that fix
nitrogen through photosynthesis. On a fundamental level,
peony trees are predominantly planted out and about or
even out and about. The explanation is that individuals were
starting with one town then onto the subsequent need to
rest in the shade out and about. In a beat where local
gatherings in urban communities or towns are constantly
held in open spaces, they need conceal. It is where peony
trees are planted as a platform for the supervisor to plunk
down. The accomplishment of female ripeness
Circumambulation Among every one of the trees in nature,
Peepal breathes out the biggest ozone (O3) just under the
sun. Ozone ingestion assists ladies with conceiving
offspring. Before, even in crude India, ladies consistently
strolled around the Bodhi tree in the evening and sat close
to it. Walking makes the lungs ingest more natural air
increasingly, so it additionally retains ozone, accordingly
upgrading the capacity of the uterus and fallopian cylinders
to get sperm. On the new moon day, individuals see and
watch more occasions because the cutting edge moon day
ingests more o3 under the activity of gravity than different
days. Restorative worth It is said that in bygone times,
individuals with barrenness would utilize the product of the
linden tree to reinforce the sun. Nearly everybody currently
accepts that even now in India, individuals get up at 4
o’clock. When the sun rises, I am making a beeline for the
linden tree. A natural product that appears as though a turn
or what we call ber will tumble from the tree. This organic
product will be gathered and brought home. It will be
cleaned. Add milk, bubble, bite, and drink milk.
