Today is Vamana Dwadshi, the day Bhagwan Vishnu incarnated as a midget brahmin to tame the inflated ego of King Bali, grandson of Bhakta Prahlad and the erstwhile ruler of the three lokas. Read the story in the poetry thread that follows.

#VamanaJayanti
#PauranicTale

Vamana came to the door of Bali
At the time of a sacrifice great
Asking for the humblest charity
Three short steps of land to take

The king drunk on his power n wealth
Laughed at the dreary demand
Ask for something more he said
You know not my generous hand

#VamanaJayanti

No, said Vamana, this would suffice
All I need is a space to squat
Where none could disturb my peace
O King, just grant me what I ask

As the Asura haughtily sealed the oath
Releasing water from his palm
Vamana grew in stature at once
All visible space to span

#VamanaJayanti

Mudras are specific hand positions used in Yogic tradition to facilitate smooth flow of various life energies through the human body. The word Mudra literally means ‘Seal’ (symbol) in Sanskrit. In Yoga each Mudra is a Seal of one specific life force.

Universe is made of 5 elements, and each finger represents one of them. The thumb represents Fire (universal consciousness); the index finger Air (individual consciousness); the middle finger Akasha (connection); the ring finger Earth (life); the little finger Water (flow).

When the 5 elements in our body lose their mutual balance, not only do we lose spiritual and emotional equilibrium; on the physical plane too various ailments can arise as a result. Mudras can help us restore that balance and gain direct benefits in all 3 spheres.

Importance of Learning Sanskrit:

Most of us today shirk away from learning Sankrit, the Devbhasha developed n used by our ancestors for conversation n transmission of knowledge.

This thread explores the reasons why we should.

#JayatuSanskritam

Our biggest excuse is when so many translations are available of every scripture that we ever want to read then why take up the extra load?

What we forget is much is lost in translation n each translation is affected by the translator’s individual understanding of the text.

Our scriptures are multi-layered. Every time we read, we may open another layer. But these layers are lost in translation n we read same layer each time, the one that translator opened. If it isnt in sync with our current spiritual stage, then we may miss the point entirely!

*The Science behind Gotras*

This thread explores the questions we may have about Gotras.

What’s Gotra system? Why do we have it? Why do we consider this to decide marriages?

Why do sons carry the gotra of father, why not daughter?

#VedicKnowledge
#HindutvaRevival
#GotraGyan

Why does gotra of a daughter change when married? Is there any logic behind it?

Infact there is an amazing genetical system we follow through Gotra Gyan.

The word GOTRA is formed by combination 2 sanskrit words Gau (cow) & Trahi (shed). So gotra basically means cowshed.

Gotra is like cowshed protecting a particular male lineage. We identify our male lineage/gotra as descendants of the 8 great Rishi (Saptarishi + Bharadwaj rishi). All other gotra evolved from these only.

Each human carries 23 pairs of chromosomes each with one from each parent.

महिलायों के प्रति दुष्कर्मों में बढ़ोतरी देख कर बार बार ध्यान जाता है इतिहास की ओर जहाँ ऐसी दुर्गति से बचने हेतु हमारी राजपूत मातायों ने हँसते हँसते मृत्यु वरी, जौहर किया था। महारानी पद्मिनी की प्रसिद्ध गाथा के माध्यम से इस दुष्कर प्रथा का वर्णन कर रही हूँ।

#जौहर
#महरानी_पद्मिनी

है यह कथा अमर पद्मिनी रानी की,
शौर्य सुगाथा भगवती भवानी की
क्षत्राणी सती के रुद्र व्रत अटल की,
सनातन हिंदु संस्कृति विमल की !

पुन: घिरा मेघ मेवाड़ पर काला,
शत्रु ने आघात किया था कराला!
द्वार खड़ा था नरपिशाच विदेशी,
जिसके हृदय न मानवता लेश थी!

#जौहर
#महारानी_पद्मिनी

लिए नयन में स्वपन विजय का,
ले सेना अगाध आया निर्दय था !
नहीं मर्यादा न संस्कृति उसकी,
केवल कुवासना भरी वृति उसकी!

वो मांग रहा प्रतिष्ठा क्षत्रियों की,
आंख मे उसकी अस्मिता सतियों की,
न रही कोई अब आशा बचने की,
घड़ी आ पहुँची थी मारने मरने की!

जून ८ को बन्दा बैरागी का शहीदी दिवस मनाया गया. दशमेश गुरु के विशेष सिख थे बन्दा जी, उन्होंने गुरु महाराज के चरण चिन्हों पर चलते हुए अपने प्राणों व अपने परिवार को धर्म की वेदी पर बलिदान किया, इस कविता में उन्हीं की शौर्य कथा कहने का प्रयास किया है, 👇👇

#बन्दा_बैरागी
#सनातनी_सिख

है गाथा दशमेश गुरु साहिब की
कहानी बन्दा बैरागी की
अटल अजेय धवल कीर्ति शूर की
है कथा धर्म अनुरागी की

लिया था वैराग्य दास लक्ष्मण ने
तरुनाई की आयु अल्प में
देखे जो निकट से कष्ट संसारी
बाँधा तन संन्यास संकल्प में

#बन्दा_बैरागी
#सनातनी_सिख

तज कर रम्य घर द्वार काश्मीरी
छोड़ पितु मत बंधु भगिनी
चल दिया हो अनासक्त युवक वह
बसा जा प्रांत दूर दक्षिणी

सरिता के तट पर किया बसेरा
बैठा वहां रमा कर धूनी
माधोदास नया नाम धरा कर
ध्याता निसदिन ब्रह्म अजूनी
