God Ram and his Guru-Maryada Purushottam

Even if we think that we know everything, we shouldn’t feel reluctant in approaching our masters and learn the secrets of righteousness and the inner reality from them. This is what Lord Rama teaches us by doing it himself. The depth of the Vedic teachings is such that every time a person comes back to it, however a great scholar he might be, he receives a new and fresh insight into his own life through them.
Picture: Lord Rama seated at the lotus feet of his master MaharshiVasishtha.
भले ही हम यह सोचते हों कि हमें तो सब कुछ पता है, फिर भी गुरुजनों की सन्निधि में जा कर और उनके चरणों में बैठ कर धर्म तथा अध्यात्म के गुह्य रहस्यों का ज्ञान प्राप्त करते ही रहना चाहिये। स्वयं भगवान् राम सर्वज्ञ होते हुए भी केवल बाल्यावस्था में ही अध्ययन करने के लिये गुरुजनों के पास नहीं गये, अपितु वनवास से वापस आकर अयोध्यापति बन जाने के उपरान्त भी गुरुजनों की सन्निधि में बैठ कर उनके उपदेश सुना करते थे। गोस्वामी तुलसीदास जी कहते हैं – “बेद पुरान बसिष्ट बखानहिं। सुनहिं राम जद्यपि सब जानहिं” (श्रीरामचरितमानस उत्तरकाण्ड २५.१) अर्थात् ‘महर्षि वसिष्ठ जी वेद और पुराणों की कथायें वर्णन करते हैं और श्री राम जी सुनते हैं, यद्यपि वे सब जानते हैं’। वास्तविकता यह है कि हमारे प्राचीन वेदों के मन्त्रों का गाम्भीर्य ही कुछ ऐसा है कि चाहें बड़े से बड़ा विद्वान ही क्यों न हो, हर बार जब वह उन्हें सुनता है और उनकी गहराई में प्रवेश करने का प्रयत्न करता है, तो उसमें से अपने जीवन व आन्तरिक विकास के लिये ज्ञान व अनुभूति के कोई न कोई अमूल्य मोती लेकर ही लौटता है। अतः इनका अध्ययन व श्रवण करने के लिये सदैव ज्ञानी महापुरुषों की सन्निधि में जाना ही चाहिये; इसी में ही अपना एवं समाज का कल्याण है। ॐ

Bhagavan Vishnu era of the Utpala Dynasty (circa 800-900 AD), Kashmir

Bhagavan Vishnu from the era of the Utpala Dynasty (circa 800-900 AD), Kashmir. Looks so similar to Tibetan Buddhist statues. Most kings of the Kashmirian Utpala Dynasty were devotees of Bhagavan Vishnu. उत्पल राजवशं कालीन (लगभग ८००-९०० ईस्वी) कश्मीर में ढाला गया भगवान् विष्णु का श्रीविग्रह। उत्पल राजवंश के कई सम्राट् वैष्णव थे। ध्यान देने योग्य बात यह है कि यह प्रतिमा तिब्बती बौद्ध प्रतिमाओं से पर्याप्त साम्य रखती है।

God Vishnu circa 900 AD.

Bhagavan Vishnu with two Lakshmis: Shri Devi and Bhudevi. These statues are from the Chera (Kerala-Putra) Dynasty, Tamilnadu and Kerala, and are dated to circa 900 AD. श्रीदेवी तथा भूदेवी समेत भगवान् विष्णु, केरलपुत्र राजवंश (केरल तथा तमिलनाडु) कालीन (लगभग ९०० ईस्वी) प्रतिमायें।

Shiva Lingas in Cambodia

Thousands of Lingas and other Vedic deities carved into the river-bed of the Kbal Spean river in Cambodia.
कम्बोडिया की क्बाल स्पिएन नदी के तल में प्राचीन काल में उकेरे गये सैकड़ों शिवलिङ्ग तथा वैदिक देवी-देवताओं की प्रतिमायें॥

The “Indianizers” of Kambuja Desha (modern day Cambodia). Thousands of years ago these men were among the intrepid pioneers who took India’s culture to far away lands. We need to remember their names and be inspired by the great work they did, so that we can reawaken this spirit in our younger generation. These were the great souls who inspired the Vedic culture in ancient Cambodia, which eventually led to the construction of the largest Hindu temple complex in the world: The Angkor Vat temple which was dedicated to Lord Vishnu. This is also the largest religious structure in the world. Remnants of a glorious Hindu past, such as great temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and river-beds in which thousands of Shiva Lingas have been carved, are found all around Cambodia even today.
ये कुछ उन श्रेष्ठ भारतीय महामना धर्मप्रचारकों के नाम की सूची है, जिन्हें शायद हम आज भारत में भूल चुके हैं, लेकिन जिन्होंने प्राचीन काल में सैकड़ों मील दूर की यात्रा करके कम्बुज देश (आधुनिक कम्बोडिया) में वैदिक सनातन धर्म की स्थापना की थी, जिसके परिणाम स्वरूप आज भी हमें कम्बोडिया में जो वैदिक सनातन धर्म से जुड़े ध्वंसावशेष उपलब्ध होते हैं,वे वास्तव में आश्चर्य जनक हैं। कम्बोडिया का ९०० वर्ष प्राचीन विष्णु मन्दिर ‘अंकोर वट’ विश्व का सबसे विशाल हिन्दू मन्दिर ही नहीं, विश्व का सबसे विशाल धार्मिक स्थान है; अन्य कोई भी धर्म इससे विशाल धर्मस्थान न बना पाया। इसके साथ ही भगवान् सदा शिव आदि भारतीय विभिन्न देवी-देवताओं को समर्पित अनेकों विशाल मन्दिरों के ध्वंसावशेष आज भी कम्बोडिया में खड़े हैं। सबसे आश्चर्यजनक मुझे लगी क्बाल स्पिएन नदी, जिसके तल में पत्थरों पर हजारों शिवलिङ्ग तथा अन्य देवी-देवताओं की मूर्तियां प्राचीन काल में उकेरी गयी थीं। एक बार ध्यान दें इन महामना मनीषियों के नामों की ओर, शायद इनका शुभ संस्मरण ही हमारे अन्दर उस सोई हुई वैदिक आत्मा को जागृत कर दे, जिसके कारण ये मनीषी सैकड़ों मीलों की यात्रा करके इस वैदिक ज्योति के महान् ज्योतिवाहक बने॥

Shiva Linga In Indonesia

Natural Shiva Linga, Lingga Islands, Indonesia.
Natural Shiva Linga on top of Mount Daik in the Lingga Islands of Indonesia. Obviously, the Indonesian Lingga archipelago gets its name from this natural structure. The archipelago lies in the south of Singapore. It must be noted that Shaivism was the form of Hinduism which was most popular in Indonesia before the advent of Islam.
प्राकृतिक शिवलिङ्ग, लिङ्ग द्वीपसमूह, इण्डोनेशिया..
इण्डोनेशिया के लिंग द्वीपसमूह में विद्यमान डाईक पर्वत की चोटी पर दिख रहा प्राकृतिक शिव लिङ्ग। इसमें कोई संशय नहीं कि इण्डोनेशिया के लिंग द्वीप समूह का नामकरण प्राचीन काल में इसी पर्वत की चोटी पर दिख रहे प्राकृतिक शिवलिङ्ग के कारण ही किया गया होगा। यह द्वीप समूह सिंगापुर के दक्षिण में विद्यमान है। इसलाम के आगमन से पूर्व शैव सम्प्रदाय ही इण्डोनेशिया में सबसे अधिक फैला हुआ हिन्दू सम्प्रदाय था।

 

8.4 MILLIONS OF SPECIES IN EARTH – PADMA PURANA

 

Hindus Knew about total number of Species before 7000+BC.

Nameste _/\_ this is another proof that Ancient Hindus/Indian was the First ever Technologically Advanced Civilization in the world .They had a knowledge about every thing.

From planets not only about solar system but about the universe, milkyway, black hole, atoms, Sun’s energy classification, Vibration, positive and negetive energy etc One must have most advanced scientific equipments to even acknowledge their existence.

It took many years for mankind to invent fire and it took many 10000s of years to invent wheel and so on.

If Ancient Hindus can calculate total number species on earth what kind of research and advanced scientific equipments and technically advanced system they must have had ? Even Hindus calculated the number of species from which Human Body evolved,

THIS IS MIND BOGGLING even to think. What is the age of Hinduism even with the same logic of modern Historians ?.

Modern Christianity based Science wont agree what i said above . SO let me provide some info about my claim. Remember if a veda was written 5000 bc ago the knowledge in that vedas are even older than the writter itself.

These are the knowledge passed on to many generations. Modern day biologists have claimed to list around 1.3 million species of life on earth.

They agree that this is a small number and still many species are yet to be discovered, named and listed.

Everyday, about 15000 new species are being discovered and they estimate that earth may be habitating between 8 to 8.7 million species with life.

Padama Purana (written around 5000 years ago in Ancient India by Veda Vyas) states that Earth has 8.4 million different species with life.

But this number could be reduced today as many species have become extinct and population among other species (mostly humans) have increased.

Just as Bhagavadgita says (in chapter 2.22) that just as one gives up an old shirt to put on a new one, the soul gives up an old body to acquire a new kind of a body (vasāmsi jirnāni yathā vihāya).
All the shapes, sizes of these species (including humans) will be decided by Manu (the one who rules creation for a certain time period).

In present Sweta Varaha Kalpa, 7th is Vaivasvat Manu, who designed our body structures. In another manvantara, humans and animals may look different.

A soul can take birth in any form of life out of the 8.4 million and many might have attained human form, which is stated as the ultimate one on earth.

Classification of Species on Earth Padama Purana also mentions about different classifications among these 8.4 million species with life on earth :

jalaja nava lakshani, sthavara laksha-vimshati, krimayo rudra-sankhyakah, pakshinam dasha-lakshanam, trinshal-lakshani pashavah, chatur lakshani manavah Jalaja (Water based) – 0.9 million

Sthaavara (immobile, like plants & trees) – 2.0 million

Krimaayo (Reptiles) – 1.1 million

Pakshinaam (Birds) – 1.0 million

Paashavah (terrestrial animals) – 3.0 million

Maanavah (human-like animals, including human species) – 0.4 million Total number of species with life are 8.4 million.

Modern day scientists have not been able to discover even 16% of what ancient seers knew.

Kannada dasara pada of more than 500 years old says : “ಎಂಭತ್ತ್ನಾಲ್ಕುಲಕ್ಷಜೀವರಾಶಿಯನ್ನುದಾಟಿಬಂದಈಶರೀರ…”

Translation : Our human body evolved out of 8.4 million species.

DHRUV STAMBH NOT QUTUB MINAR

VIJAY STAMBHA ~ OF EMPEROR VIKRAMADITYA ~~ TRUTH OF FALSE QUTUB MINAR

The complex is supposed to be built by the Greatest of Hindu emperors there was MaharajaDhiraj Vikramaditya of Ujjaini , brother of Bharathiri the Kind and Philosopher and originator of Bharathari neeti shataka . The tower is known to have been errected to celebrate the victory of the Great Emperor Vikramaditya , over the lands now called as Arab lands . They have known to celebrate the coming of the vedic way of life .

Vedic culture was very much alive just before the birth of Muhammad. Again let’s refer to the Sair-Ul-Okul. The following poem was written by Jirrham Bintoi who lived 165 years before the prophet Muhammed. It is in praise of India’s great King Vikramaditya who had lived 500 years before Bintoi.

“Itrasshaphai Santul
Bikramatul phehalameen Karimun
Bihillahaya Samiminela
Motakabbenaran Bihillaha
Yubee qaid min howa
Yaphakharu phajgal asari
nahans Osirim Bayjayholeen
Yaha sabdunya Kanateph natephi
bijihalin Atadari Bilala masaurateen
phakef Tasabahu. Kaunni eja majakaralhada
– (Sair-ul-Okul, Page 315)

“Fortunate are those who were born during King Vikram’s reign, he was a noble generous, dutiful ruler devoted to the welfare of his subjects. But at that time, We Arabs oblivious of divinity were lost in sensual pleasures. Plotting & torture were rampant. The darkness of ignorance had enveloped our country. Like the lamb struggling for its life in the cruel jaws of a wolf, we Arabs were gripped by ignorance. The whole country was enveloped in a darkness as intense as on a New moon night. But the present dawn & pleasant sunshine of education is the result of the favor of that noble king Vikram whose benevolence did not lose sight of us foreigners as we were. He spread his sacred culture amongst us and sent scholars from his own land whose brilliance shone like that of the sun in our country. These scholars & preceptors through whose benevolence we were once again made aware of the presence of god, introduced to his secret knowledge & put on the road to truth, had come to our country to initiate us in that culture & impart education.”

Thus we can see that Vedic religion and culture were present in Pre-Islamic Arabia as early as 1850 B.C., and definitely present at the time of Mohammed’s birth.
The Iron Pillar served an important astronomical function, when it was originally at Vishnupadagiri. The early morning shadow of the Iron Pillar fell in the direction of the foot of Anantasayain Vishnu (in one of the panels at Udayagiri) only in the time around summer solstice (June 21).Dhillika is the old name of India’s capital, New Delhi. The name Delhi is derived from the word ‘Dhillika’.The Iron Pillar ,a symbol of Truth and Nemesis-God Shani of Hindu Religion was brought by Anang Pal of Tomar dynasty to Delhi to establish rule of Clean,truthful and honest governance,from Mathura a land of Krishna devotion.The idea behind it was to establish an orientation to the great epic Mahabharata whic

h is connected to the history of Delhi as well as the significance of Gita,and Yudhishtra’s ascent to heaven in bodily form; from Swargya Rohini..The Hindu rulers built temples and used psychological epigraphs and monuments to instill religion in the local The Iron pillar bears an inscription in Sanskrit which states that it was erected as a standard in honour of the Hindu god, Vishnu. It also praises the valor and qualities of a king referred to simply as Chandra, who has been identified with the Gupta King Chandragupta II Vikramaditya (375-413).

The reference was also to the Satvikka Purana [Smirti Texts of Hinduism]called Garuda Purana which is recited as a cremation ritual.The Garuda atop the pillar ,which was removed by muslims,bore testimony to what was inscribed and its relevance to the installation of the pillar.The pillar was used to signify the death principle of Hindus,the need for attaining Mokhsha and the path of Dharma. The iron pillar was the Garud Dhwaj alias Garud Stambh, i.e, the sentinel post of the Vishnu temple. The Sanskrit inscription in Brahmi script on the non-rusting iron pillar proclaimed the lofty standards of Vishnu on Vishnupad Giri. Here in the said precincts ,the description indicates that a statue of the rec- lining Vishnu ;initiating the creation was consecrated in the central shrine there which was ravaged by Mohammad Ghori and his henchman Qutubuddin.

Truth revealed from sky . People usually see this tower from ground. Prof Bhatnagar hired a helicopter and took a photo from the sky. That is when he realised that is a blooming lotus flower.
