Military Techniques in Mahabahrat (Ancient Indian WAR) Military Formation Techniques (Vyuha)

 

Vajra Vyuha ( in the shape of the thunderbolt)
=============================================================




Chakra shakata vyuha
=============================================================




Mandala Vyuha (Mandala - Circle) :

On the seventh day of the war Bhishma made Mandala Vyuha. It was circular formation very difficult to penetrate. The Pandavas countered it by Vajra Vyuha. On the dawn of the eighth day of the war, it was Oormi Vyuha for Kauravas, meaning ocean. It was the formation in which their army was arranged. It spread on the either side like waves of the sea. Arjuna chose Sringataka Vyuha .
=============================================================




Krauncha vyuha(Krauncha - a Bird) :

Pandava army was arranged in this vyuha on the second day. Drupada was at the head and Kuntibhoja was placed at the eye. The army of the satyaki formed neck of the Kauncha bird. Bhima and Dhristadhymna formed both the wings of the Vyuha. The sons of Draupadi and Satyaki were to guard the wings. The formation of the army phalanxes in this manner was very formidable.

Bhishma also decided to arrange his army in Krauncha Vyuha. Bhurishrava and Salya were to guard the wings. Somdatta, Ashwatthama, Kripa and Kritavarma were positioned at different important place in the formation.

=============================================================



Chakra Vyuha : Well known vyuha. Abhimanyu died in this vyuha. The thirteenth day of the war came. Again the Trigartas challenged Arjuna early. Drona arranged his army in chakra Vyuha formation. Duryodhana was at the centre and other warriors were in different layers. Jayadratha was there guarding the gate of the Vyuha with his army.

Bhima led the Pandavas attack. All other Pandavas warriors were following him, they tried to break the vyuha by a frontal attack but Drona frustrated them. The arrows of Drona began to melt away the Pandavas army. Yudhsithira was at his wits ends.

Arjuna was facing the only Samasaptaka who was surviving. Sursarma and his army went on fighting and kept Arjuna occupied. Young Abhimanyu, seeing Yudhisthira worried, said that he knew the technique of entering the Chakravyuha but did not know how to come out of it. Bhima said that if they could get the entry once, the rest should be left to him and his mace. Yet Yudhisthira was hesitant to sent the sixteen years old son of Arjuna, in absence of his father in such a deadly trap of death.
But Abhimanyu was very confident and so was Bhima. After taking permission and blessings of the elders, Abhimanyu went to break the vyuha with Bhima and others warriors following him closely.

Abhimanyu chariot went with lightening speed and before Jayadrattha could understand his move he was inside the vyuha. He was successful in breaking in to it. But an alert Jayadratha stopped Bhima and all other Pandavas from entering the vyuha. However hard they tried. While Kauravas had panicked by breaking into the Vyuha by Abhimanyu, now the Pandavas were desolate. Arjuna’s son was inside the Vyuha all alone and they were kept outside.

Drona and all other warriors rushed to Abhimanyu to check his advance. Duryodhana, Dussasan, Salya and Karna were fighting him, all at once. Abhimanyu gave them a very tough fight. He could hurt even Karna. Single handedly, he kept all of them at bay. His valor even surpassed that of Arjuna. Kauravas were amazed to see his skill and prowess.

At the gate of the Vyuha, Bhima, Yudhisthira, Shikhandi, Drupad, Dhristadhymna, Virata, Nakula etc. were making determined effort to break into the vyuha but without any success. Jayadratha had obtained a boon from lord Shiva that enabled him to defy all the Pandavas when Arjuna and Krishna were not there. Now, Bhima was very sorry for his recklessness in encouraging Abhimanyu to go into the Vyuha.

All the warriors of the Kauravas side could not have defeated the lone warrior despite their best efforts. Now they were getting frustrated. Karna deceitfully attacked him from behind and cut the string of his bow. Then Drona cut down his chariots wheels. Then Abhimanyu jumped out with a sword and shield in his hand. Drona too cut that down. Then he took a wheel of his chariot and rushed towards them. Abhimanyu killed Lakshamana, the son of Duryodhana. Now the Kauravas were willing to throw out all the rules of fair fighting six Maharathi, Karna, Drona, Ashvatthama attacked him together. Abhimanyu was very tired, from behind, son of Dussasan, hit Abhimanyu with his mace. Abhimanyu fell down and died. Abhimanyu’s killing was the most treacherous and darterdly act of the Karuavas warriors like Drona Kripa and Karna.

Death of Abhimanyu gave rise to loud cheers and sounding of conches drums and trumpets. The Pandavas had a premonition that the worst fears had come true. Soon the terrible news was confirmed. Yudhisthira and Bhima fell down lamenting inconsolably. They had sent Abhimanyu to his death. The Pandavas side had never sunk so deep in despair and sorrow, since the beginning of the war. They were unable to face Arjuna on his return.
===========================================================



Ardha Chakra Vyuha(Ardha Chandra - Half Cresent) :

Arjuna observed this arrangement. He arranged the Pandavas army in consultation with Dhristadhymna, made the Ardha-chandra vyuha. cresent form. At the right end was Bhima, Along the ups were placed the army of Drupada and Virata. Neel, Dhristaketu, Dhristadhymna and Shikandi were placed next to them. Yudhisthira was at the centre. Satyaki, and five sons of Draupadi. Abimanyu were at left end, Ghatatkacha and Kokaya brother was there too. At the tip was Arjuna at his Chariot with Krishna.

SIGNIFICANCE OF TILAK AND DOT(BINDI) ON FOREHEAD.

Scientific and Spiritual significance of Tilak

The Tilak cover the spot between the eyebrows, which connects to the Bhramanadi which is the seat of memory and thinking. In yoga terms it is called as Aajna Chakra (Brow Chakra). We know that the human body emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves and especially the forehead and the subtle spot between the eyebrows. The imbalance in the body causes the energy to destabilize and causes worrie...s and tension and hence headaches. The Tilak cools the forehead, protects us and prevents the loss of energy. Sometimes the entire forehead is covered with sandal wood or the holy ash. Moreover one cannot be easily hypnotized when he/she is wearing these marks and also it acts as an acupressure point GV 24.5 (in acupressure terms) which is also a immune booster and potent point and when one regular applies on this mark his immunity level never comes down easily. This point GV 24.5 along with CV 17 is also pressed during our prayer offerings when we fold our hands and bend our head down thereby making the index and middle fingers touching the points and when we bring down our hand we touch the CV 17 with our thumbs. It also protects one from other’s evil eyes because it neutralizes the negative thoughts of others when they see the face with tilak, that is why young babies are put the black kajal (a purified and medicated charcoal) on the side of their forehead and/or on cheeks and it is replaced by kum kum for adults. Anyone with strong meditative powers can control others evil eyes hence he doesn’t require kum kum although he can wear it.

Before I talk about Kumkum (vermillion) and its medical significance let me give a brief introduction on Rasayan shastra. Rasayan Shastra (Ayurvedic Alchemy) is one of the subject in Asthanga Ayurveda. Mercury here is considered as a Maha dhathu (Main metal), we all know that mercury is a dangerous poison and its vapour is even more dangerous, but when processed under specific shodhana (purification) process it becomes pure and becomes a miraculous medicine. It is a great feeling to touch mercury after it is bound when purified. Parad Shivalinga that you find in Rameshwaram or a Ganesha statue or even beads is made from mercury after binding it.
Mercury being considered as a Maha Dhathu is a most potent metal can cure any disorder and however old it may be. According to Ayurveda it is the best anti-ageing agent that one can use for remaining young and healthy. Interesting? Now in kum kum mercury in its pure compounded form is available as mercuric sulfide. Regularly using it will prevent the face from having wrinkles. Married women use this vermillion on their Maang (top of forehead till the middle of the head) because it has those nerves that when activated reduces the stress and fatigue. Other ingredients like turmeric, camphor and lime powder and since turmeric is grown underground it has all the 18 nutrients of the earth (soil) and the important being iron, hence when applied of the forehead (middle of eyebrows) will regulate your body aura and eliminate negative energy and promote good health.

PRE-ISLAMIC ARABIA Hindu Nation ?

Was PRE-ISLAMIC ARABIA Hindu Nation ?
Un Told Arabian Tales Revealed ! ! !

Arabia is an abbreviation. The original word even today
is Arbasthan. It originates in Arvasthan. As observed earlier
Sanskrit “V” changes into “B”. Arva in Sanskrit means a horse.
Arvasthan signifies a land of horses, and as we all know Arabia
is famous for its horses.
...
In the 6th and 7th centuries A.D. a wave of effecting a
complete break with the past spread over West Asia. All links
with the past were broken, images smashed, scriptures des-
troyed, education discontinued and the entire West Asian
region took a plunge in abyssmal ignorance which lasted for
centuries thereafter and perhaps persists to a certain extent
even today because if in the whole world modern scientific and
educational developments find stubborn and entrenched resis-
tance anywhere it is in the West Asian countries. It is said
that the late Saudi Arabia ruler could not permit a radio
broadcasting station opened in his own capital because of
oposition from his Maulavis. He then resorted to a stratagem.
Once while he had his council of Maulavis in attendance he had
a radio set switched on to a program of Koranic recitation
broadcast from a small transmitting station set up earlier
without much ado. The Maulavis were delighted, so goes the
report, to hear the word of Allah coming to them as if from
nowhere. The king told them that what objections could they
have to a mechanism which broadcast the word of Allah. The
Maulavis agreed and the small radio broadcasting project was
at last ratified.

According to Encyclopaedia Britannica and Encyclø-
paedia Islamia the Arabs are ignorant of their own history of
the pre-Muslim era. By a strange euphemism they call it a
period of ignorance and darkness. Probably no other country
in the world has deliberately written off a 2,500 year period of
their own history by systematically stamping out and snapping
all links with the past. They have wiped the memories of pre-
Muslim era off their minds. So while they chose to remain
ignorant of their past ironically enough it is they who dub the
pre-Muslim era as a period of ignorance.

Fortunately we can still trace the history of that pre-
Islamic Arabia. It is a well known adage that there is no such
thing as foolproof destruction of all evidence. The pre-Islamic
history of Arabia is the story of Indian Kshatriyas over that
land, with the people following the Vedic way of life.

In our attempt to reconstruct the story of pre-Islamic
Arabia we begin with the name of the country itself. As
explained earlier the name is fully Sanskrit. Its central
pilgrim centre, Mecca is also a Sanskrit name. Makha in
Sanskrit signifies a sacrificial fire. Since Vedic fire worship
was prevalent all over West Asia in pre-Islamic days Makha
signifies the place which had an important shrine of fire
worship.

Coinciding with the annual pilgrimage of huge bazaar
used to spring up in Makha i.e. Mecca since times immemorial.
The annual pilgrimage of Muslims to Mecca is not at all an
innovation but a continuation of the ancient pilgrimage. This
fact is mentioned in encyclopedias.

VIKRAMADITYA

Evidence is now available that the whole of Arabia was
part of the great Indian King Vikramaditya’s vast empire. The
extent of Vikramaditya’s empire is one of the main reasons for
his world wide fame. Incidentally this also explains many
intriguing features about Arabia. It could be that
Vikramaditya himself had this peninsula named Arvasthan if
he was the first Indian monarch to capture it and bring it
under his sway.

The second intriguing aspect is the existence of a
Shivalinga or the Mahadeva emblem in the Kaaba shrine in
Mecca. Before going into further details about the ancient
Vedic rituals and names still clinging to Muslim worship at
Mecca we shall see what evidence we have about Arabia
having formed part of Vikramaditya’s dominions.

ANTHOLOGY OF ANCIENT ARABIC POETRY: SAYAR-UL-OKUL

In Istanbul in Turkey, there is a famous library called
Makteb-e-Sultania which is reputed to have the largest
collection of ancient West Asian literature. In the Arabic
Section of that library is an anthology of ancient Arabic
poetry. That anthology was compiled from an earlier work in
A.D. 1742 under the orders of the Turkish ruler Sultan Salim.

The ‘pages’ of that volume are made of HAREER – a kind
of silk used for writing on. Each page has a decorative gilded
border. It may be recalled that gilding pages of sacred books is
an ancient custom associated with old Sanskrit scriptures
found in Java and other places. The anthology itself is known
as SAYAR-UL-OKUL. It is divided into three parts, the first
part contains biographic details and the poetic compositions of
pre-Islamic Arabian poets. The second part embodies accounts
and verses of poets of the period beginning just after Prophet
Mohammad up to the end of Banee- Ummayya dynasty. The
third part deals with later poets up to the end of Khalifa
Harun-al-Rashid’s times. Incidentally “Banee” means “Vanee”
and Ummayya as in Krishnayya are Sanskrit names.

Abu Amir Abdul Asamai, a distinguished Arabian bard
who was the Poet Laureate of Harun-al-Rashid’s court has
compiled and edited the anthology.

The first modern edition of Sayar-ul-Okul anthology was
printed and published in Berlin in A.D. 1864. A subsequent
edition was published in Beirut in A.D. 1932. This work is
regarded as the most important and authoritative anthology of
ancient Arabic poetry. It throws considerable light on the
social life, customs, manners and entertainment forms in
ancient Arabia. The book also contains an elaborate descrip-
tion of the ancient Mecca shrine, the town and the annual fair
known as OKAJ which used to be held there every year. This
should convince readers that the annual Haj of the Muslims to
the Kaaba is only a continuation of the old fair and not a new
practice.

But the OKAJ fair was far from a carnival. It
provided a forum for the elite and learned to discuss the
social, religious, political, literary and other aspects of the
Vedic culture then pervading Arabia. Sayar-ul-Okul asserts
that the conclusions reached at those discussions were widely

respected througout Arabia. Mecca, therefore, followed the
Varanasi tradition of providing a seat for important discussions
among the learned while the masses congregated there for
spiritual bliss. The principal shrines at both Varanasi in India
and at Mecca in Arvasthan were Shiva temples. Even to this
day the central object of veneration at both Mecca and
Varanasi continues to be the ancient Mahadeva emblems. It is
the Shankara stone which Muslim pilgrims reverently touch
and kiss in the Kaaba.

ENTRY OF NON-MUSLIMS FORBIDDEN

A few miles away from Mecca is a big signboard which
forbids entry to any non-Muslim in the area. This is a
reminder of the days when the Shrine was stormed and
captured solely for the newly established faith of Islam. The
object obviously was to prevent its recaptue.

As the pilgrim proceeds towards Mecca he is asked to
shave his head and beard and to don a special sacred attire.
This consists of two seamless sheets of white cloth. One is to
be worn round the waist and the other over the shoulders.
Both these rites are remnants of the old Vedic practice of
entering Hindu shrines, clean shaven and with holy seamless
spotless white sheets.

The main shrine in Mecca which houses the Shiva emb-
lem is known as the Kaaba. It is clothed in a black shroud.
This custom could also originate from the days when it was
thought necessary to discourage its recapture. According to
encyclopaedias Britannica and Islamia the Kaaba had 360
images. Traditional accounts mention that one of the deities
among the 360 destroyed, when the shrine was stormed, was
that of Saturn, another was of the moon and yet another was
one called Allah. In India the practice of Navagraha puja that
is worship of the nine planets is still in vogue. Two of these
nine are the Saturn and the moon. Besides, the moon is always
associated with Lord Shankara. A Crescent is always painted
across the forehead of the Shiva emblem. Since the presiding
deity at the Kaaba shrine was Lord Shiva i.e. Shankara, the
crescent was also painted on it. It is that crescent which is
now adopted as a religious symbol of Islam. Another Hindu
tradition is that wherever there is a Shiva shrine the sacred
stream of Ganga that is the Ganges must also co-exist. True
to that tradition a sacred fount exists near the Kasba. Its
water is held sacred because it was regarded as but another
Ganga since pre-Islamic times. Muslim pilgrims visiting the
Kaaba shrine go around it seven times. In no other mosque
does this perambulation prevail. Hindus invariably perambu-
late around their shrines. This is yet another proof that the
Kaaba shrine is a pre-Islamic Shiva temple where the Hindu
practice of perambulation is still meticulously observed.

Allah is a Sanskrit word. In Sanskrit Allah, Akka and
Amba are synonyms. They signify a goddess or mother. The
term Allah appears in Sanskrit chants while invoking goddess
Durga i.e. Bhavani. The Islamic word Allah for God is
therefore not an innovation but the ancient Sanskrit appella-
tion retained and continued to be used by Islam.

The seven perambulations too are significant. At Hindu
wedding ceremonies the bride and bridegroom go round the
sacred fire seven times. the practice of seven perambultions
around the Kaaba shrine in Mecca is, therefore, a Hindu Vedic
custom. It is also a proof that Mecca was Makha or the shrine
of the sacred fire around which worshippers made seven
perambulations.

SAYAR-UL-OKUL tells us that a pan-Arabic poetic
symposium used to be held in Mecca at the annual Okaj fair in
pre-Islamic times. All leading poets used to participate in it.
Poems considered best were awarded prizes. The best poems
engraved on gold plate were hung inside the temple. Others
etched on camel or goat skin were hung outside. Thus for
thousands of years the Kaaba was the treasure house of the
best Arabian poetic thought. This tradition was of im-
memorial antiquity. But most of the poems got lost and
destroyed during the storming of the Kaaba by prophet Moham-
med’s forces.

SAYAR-UL-OKUL is a poem by UMAR-BINE-HASSNAM
(Poetic Title: ABBUL-HIQAM meaning Father of Knowledge).
He was an uncle of prophet Mohammed. He refused to get
converted to Islam. He died a martyr at the hands of Muslim
fanatics who wanted to wipe out non-Muslims. This poem was
adjudged as the best in the annual fair at Kaaba.

MIND BOGGLING REVELATION :12 Common Gods in India, Japan, China, Tibet & Turkey
जापान, चीन, तिब्बत और तुर्की, भारत में 12 आम देवताओं:

Vedas indicate that the supreme power is only one and its verbal description will always be incomplete.
So, all natural and supernatural phenomena are counted as his manifestations and called as ‘Deva‘s, with sanskrit root ‘Div‘ meaning ‘The Shining One‘.
That is how all devi, devat...a forms got their names based on their characterizations.
There are 33 main Devas who were the guardians of Nature and Cosmic Creation :

12 Adityas or Solar gods including Indra, Surya, Varuna
11 Rudras, the Manifestations of Lord Siva
8 Vasus or Elemental gods such as Vayu, Agni etc
Brahma, the creator
Vishnu, the protector
Interestingly, these 12 Adityas were adopted into Japanese and Chinese Buddhism as Juniten.


12 Juniten in Japanese and Chinese Buddhism
They are guardians of 4 main directions, 4 corners of directions (ashta dikpalakas in vedas), above, below, sun and moon.

These 12 Gods are :

Bonten, 梵天 or Dai Bontenno, ruling Sky/Zenith – similar to Brahma who created the universe, with four heads for overlooking each of the four directions (although often shown with only one).
Taishakuten, 帝釈天, ruling East – similar to Indra, who governs all natural forces
Bishamonten, 毘沙門天, ruling North – (Sanskrit वैश्रवण, Sinhalese වෛශ්‍රවණ, who once ruled Lanka and was step-brother of Ravana) is Kubera the ruler of weath and also known as Namtösé in Tibet
Katen, 火天, ruling South East – similar to Agni the fire god. Invoked in Shingon fire rituals (Agni homa ritual)
Enmaten / Emmaten / Emma , 焔魔天 or 炎魔天, ruling South – similar to Yama the god of death and Hell
Rasetsuten / Rasatsu / Rasetsu, 羅刹天, ruling South West – similar to Nirrti or Rakshasa
Suiten, 水天、水神、水王, ruling West – similar to Varuna the god of water
Fūten / Fūjin , 風天, ruling North West – similar to Vaayu the wind god
Ishanaten / Daijizaiten, 伊舎那天 (Also known as Jizai Ten 自在天), ruling North East – similar to Isana or Siva
Jiten / Chiten / Kenrochijin, 地天, ruling downwards direction or Nadir – similar to Prithvi or Earth
Nitten / Dai Nittenno / Nikko, 日天 – is SUN adopted into Buddhism as a protector; said to be a subject of Taishakuten.
Gatten / Gakko, 月天 – is MOON who ppears as a Bodhisattv in Buddhism.
In Japanese, Nikko = Suryaprabha (illumination of Sun) & Gakko=Chandraprabha (illumination of Moon)
We can notice Bonten having 3 visible faces like Brahma and Ishanaten carrying a Trident (Trisul) like Siva in his hand.

Similar 12 Gods are found on a rock-cut cave far away in YaziliKaya in Turkey.
This cave has multiple depictions of Gods and Goddesses that resemble Hindu Vedic Gods (Lion Headed man, Animal bodied man with human face etc).
Lower chamber in this cave shows a frieze with 12 gods carved onto it who were worshiped by Hittites, who were an Ancient Anatolian people who established an empire at Hattusa in north-central Anatolia around the 18th century BC.
This empire reached its height during the mid-14th century BC under Suppiluliuma I, when it encompassed an area that included most of Asia Minor as well as parts of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia. After c. 1180 BC, the empire came to an end during the Bronze Age collapse, splintering into several independent “Neo-Hittite” city-states, some of which survived until the 8th century BC.


12 Hittites gods at Yazilikaya cave in Turkey
After 1180 BC, amid general turmoil in the Levant associated with the sudden arrival of the Sea Peoples, the kingdom disintegrated into several independent “Neo-Hittite” city-states, some of which survived until as late as the 8th century BC. The history of the Hittite civilization is known mostly from cuneiform texts found in the area of their kingdom, and from diplomatic and commercial correspondence found in various archives in Egypt and the Middle East.

After the Battle of Kadesh, which took place in the 5th year of Rameses (1274 BC), the power of both the Hittites and Egyptians began to decline yet again because of the rising power of the Assyrians.

वेद परम सत्ता केवल एक ही है कि संकेत मिलता है और अपने मौखिक विवरण हमेशा अधूरी रहेगी.
तो, सभी प्राकृतिक और अलौकिक घटना उसकी अभिव्यक्ति के रूप में गिना जाता है और के रूप में कहा जाता है 'देवा की, संस्कृत जड़ के साथ' डिव 'अर्थ' उदय 'एक कर रहे हैं.
यही कारण है कि सभी देवी, देवता रूपों उनके अभिलक्षण के आधार पर उनके नाम को कैसे मिल गया है.
प्रकृति और ब्रह्मांड के निर्माण के संरक्षक थे जो 33 मुख्य देवता हैं:

इंद्र, सूर्य, वरुण सहित 12 आदित्यों या सौर देवताओं

जापानी और चीनी बौद्ध धर्म में 12 Juniten
वे 4 मुख्य दिशाओं, दिशाओं के 4 कोनों (वेदों में अष्ट dikpalakas), ऊपर, नीचे, सूर्य और चंद्रमा के संरक्षक हैं.

इन 12 देवताओं हैं:

Bonten, 梵天 या दाई Bontenno, सत्तारूढ़ आकाश / जेनिथ - चार दिशाओं में से प्रत्येक की अनदेखी के लिए चार सिर (अक्सर ही एक साथ दिखाया गया है) के साथ, ब्रह्मांड बनाया जो ब्रह्मा के समान है.

जापानी में, निक्को = Suryaprabha (सूर्य की रोशनी) और Gakko = Chandraprabha (चंद्रमा की रोशनी)
हम Bonten उसके हाथ में शिव की तरह एक ट्रिडेंट (त्रिशूल) ले जाने ब्रह्मा और Ishanaten तरह 3 दिखाई चेहरे होने नोटिस कर सकते हैं.

इसी प्रकार 12 परमेश्वर तुर्की में YaziliKaya में बहुत दूर एक चट्टान को काट कर गुफा में पाए जाते हैं.
इस गुफा देवताओं और हिंदू वैदिक देवताओं (शेर नेतृत्व आदमी, मानवीय चेहरे आदि के साथ पशु शरीर आदमी) जैसे लगते हैं कि देवी के कई चित्रण है.
इस गुफा में निचले सदन में 18 वीं सदी ईसा पूर्व के आसपास उत्तर मध्य अनातोलिया में Hattusa पर एक साम्राज्य की स्थापना की, जो एक प्राचीन अनातोलियन लोग थे जो हित्तियों, द्वारा पूजा होती थी जो इसे पर खुदी हुई 12 देवताओं के साथ एक फ्रीज़ से पता चलता है.
यह सबसे एशिया माइनर के साथ ही उत्तरी लेवंत और ऊपरी मेसोपोटामिया के कुछ हिस्सों शामिल है कि एक क्षेत्र को घेर लिया जब इस साम्राज्य, Suppiluliuma मैं तहत मध्य 14 वीं शताब्दी ईसा पूर्व के दौरान उसकी ऊंचाई पर पहुंच गया. ग के बाद. 1180 ईसा पूर्व, साम्राज्य 8 वीं शताब्दी ईसा पूर्व तक बच गया, जिनमें से कुछ कई स्वतंत्र "नव हित्ती" शहर राज्यों में टूटने, कांस्य युग के पतन के दौरान का अंत हो गया.


तुर्की में Yazilikaya गुफा में 12 हित्तियों देवताओं
1180 ईसा पूर्व के बाद, सागर पीपुल्स का अचानक आगमन के साथ जुड़े लेवंत में सामान्य उथलपुथल के बीच, राज्य में 8 वीं शताब्दी ईसा पूर्व के रूप में के रूप में देर तक बच गया, जिनमें से कुछ कई स्वतंत्र "नव हित्ती" शहर राज्यों में विघटित. हित्ती सभ्यता के इतिहास ज्यादातर उनके राज्य के क्षेत्र में पाया कीलाकार ग्रंथों से, और मिस्र और मध्य पूर्व में विभिन्न अभिलेखागार में पाया राजनयिक और वाणिज्यिक पत्राचार से जाना जाता है.

रामसेस (1274 ईसा पूर्व) के 5 वें वर्ष में जगह ले ली है, जो कादेश के युद्ध के बाद, हित्ती और मिस्र दोनों की शक्ति है क्योंकि अश्शूरी की बढ़ती शक्ति का एक बार फिर से गिरावट शुरू हुई.

GAYATRI MANTRA MEANING

Meaning and Significance of Gayatri Mantra
 

 Gyatri Mantra is recited in Sanskrit language as mentioned below:

“ओम् भूर्भुव: स्‍व: तत्‍सवितुर्वरेण्‍यं भर्गो देवस्‍य धीमहि धियो यो न: प्रचोदयात् ।”

(Aum bhoorbhuvah svah tatsaviturvarenyam bhargo devasya dheemahi dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.)

Thus Gayatri Mantra begins from the word aum whose meaning and significance has been explained in Mandukyopanishad. The word ‘Aum’ is in itself a hymn which is also called ‘Pran...ava’. This word contains three letters A, U, M. The letter A represents the cosmos, the body of Virat Brahma. When subtle Brahma (Supreme Eternal Being) manifests or projects himself into vast universe which can be visualized by the mind or by the senses it is called Virat or Vaishvanar. In this shape, magnificence of God is fully reflected. The letter U stands for intellectual design of creation, the totality of all subtle subjects and Brahma possessed of subtly differentiated creation is called Hiranyagarbha (also Sutratma or Prana) where every being is in the illumined shape of self-born sperm and foetus. The letter M stands for Saguna Brahma or Ishvar where Brahma described also as Omniscient and Omnipotent Being is the Creator, the Sustainer and the Destroyer of the world. Thus all the three letters combined together give description of God in three different ways.

The remaining part of Gayatri Mantra finds place in thirty-sixth chapter of Yajurveda. The word Savitri (or Savita) has two meanings—(1) the sun (2) One that inspires. Here the word Savita has been used in the sense of God who inspires us. Due to some confusion some people say that this hymn prays the sun.

The words bhoorbhuvah svah tell about the body of Brahma (Supreme Being). Bhoor or Bhooh means Being or matter and energy of the universe. Bhuvah means space and Svah means Atma or the Self or the Spirit. If we want to see God, we can see Him in anything visible in the universe. If we separate matter, energy and space, then we can know God through self-realization for in that position God is formless, weightless, consciousness or knowledge, all-pervading, all-knowing, omnipotent, eternal, imperishable and abode of bliss. Then God is called Paramatma.

Thus we can understand Gayatri Mantra in brief in the following manner-----

That omnipotent God (Supreme Being) pervades all matter, energy, space and consciousness. That (tat) God is the source of inspiration (savituh), is most venerable (varenyam), and is pure in character (bhargah). Our mind should take hold (dhimahi) of that divine power (devasya). May that Supreme Being (yah) lead (prachodayat) our (nah) wisdom (dhiyah) towards good path.

Gayatri Mantra is very significant for us because it describes, in brief, essence of God or material and spiritual aspect of God. It is also a magnificent hymn or prayer that yokes the mind with Supreme Being.

In the interest of readers and devotees another Vedic hymn is given here---

यो भूतं च भव्‍य च सर्व यश्‍चाधितिष्‍ठति

स्‍वर्यस्‍य च केवलं तस्‍मै ज्‍येष्‍ठाय ब्रह्मणे नम: ।

(Reverential obeisance to Brahma (Supreme Being) who is the past and the future and who precedes and pervades all beings, and who presides over divinity and who alone exists)
 

JEEVAK KAUMARBHRITYA AND TAKSHSHILA

Early Life of Jeevak Kaumarbhritya

He was found as an adbandoned orphan at a roadside in Rajgrih(Rajgir) to prince of Magadh.
The prince(Kaumar/Kumar) found him Jeevit (alive) even after being abandoned and has served(Bhritya) him.
Thus, his name became Jeevak Kaumarbhritya.
He went to Takshila (which is now in Pakistan) for his higher studies a place which could be called as the “first university of the world” and was famous for its specialized study.
He studied the whole 8-limbed Ayurveda (Medical science of 8 subjects) there for many years.
Ultimately he became a great maser and research scholar of this subject. His intelligence and skill are known through different case studies in his life.

Case 1 – “Every plant is a medicine” :- When his studies were done, the mentor of Jeevak examined him by giving a project. The task was to find a useless plant in the 5 miles circumference of Takshila. Jeevak wandered everywhere and reported in conclusion that “Every plant has medicinal and other uses, no plant is useless.” The teacher was extremely delighted to listen his answer.

Case 2 – “Treating a chronic headache through medicinal ghee” :- When Jeevak was returning to Magadh from Takshila, on the way he stayed at Saket(Ayodhya). The wife of a famous businessman (Shresthi) was suffering from chronic headache which was not cured by other doctors (Vaidyas). When he inserted medical ghee through her nose. She got relief within 3 days. The shresthi awarded him with 26,000 coins, chariots and servants. This was the first treatment in Jeevak’s career.

Case 3 – “Treating fistula of Magadh emperor Bimbasar” :- Bimbasar was suffering from fistula. Due to disease, his clothes get stained with blood. Which was witted by his queen. He became extremely sorrowful due to the pain of disease and the other reason was the humour of the queens. This mentally and physically sick king was treated by only one paste of Jeevak. The happy king awarded him with enormous property and appointed him on the post of Royal Doctor (Raj vaidya)

Case 4 – “ Head Surgery of a Shresthi” :- A shresthi of Rajgrih has a chronic disease uncured by the Vaidyas. They speculated that shresthi would live five to seven days. Bimbasar appointed Jeevak on this case. Jeevak tied the patient to the left side for 7 days, on right side for 7 days and central mode for 7 days, then he pierced his skulll and brought out two insects. Then he closed the brain, stitched it and did the bandage. The shresthi according to his promise offered him his whole property but Jeevak took only one lakh coins.

Jeevak successfully operated the most critical kind of Head Surgery

Case 5 – “Intestinal Surgery of a boy” :- The son of a shresthi of Varanasi had tumor in his intestine. He did not recovered even after many treatments. When Jeevak came to see him, he moved his surgical tool on his stomach & brought out intestine. Then he cut off the tumor and stitched the intestine at it’s position. The boy recovered from disease.

Case 6 – “Treating the disease of Avanti king Chand Pradyot” :- King Chand Pradyot invited Jeevak from Rajgrih to Ujjain for his treatment. The king was furious in nature and Jeevak knew that fact. That’s why before giving the king medicine, he fled with Bhadravati elephantess with the excuse of bringing medicine for the king from the forest. As soon as the king took the medicine, seviere vomiting started. This made him very angry and thus he ordered to bring the Jeevak before him. But Jeevak using his tactical brain, reaches Rajgrih safely. After some time, Chand Pradyot recovered completely and rewarded Jeevak by sending a very costly pair of Sivayak garments to Rajgrih.

Jeevak had a big residence, which was also his Hospital in Rajgrih, whose ruins still exist in Rajgir as “Jeevak ambvan”, which literally means the mango orchard. The building was surrounded by the mango orchard where lord Buddha stayed with his disciples. Jeevak had introduced Ajatshatru to Gautama Buddha. Jeevak had even treated the lord Buddha once with his simple medicines.

Many iconic personalities like Charak, Kashyap, Dhanvantri, Vagbhatt etc followed Jeevak and went onto write books on Ayurveda.
Unlike, Hippocrites, Jeevak’s legacy did not find ‘school of medicine’ and popularize his methods.
That is why Jeevak Kaumarbhritya, who lived more than a century before Hippocrites (460-370 BC), was neglected by the world.
But infact, he is the ‘Real Father of Modern Day Medicine‘.
Hippocrites From all other religions Shame Fully Copied each and Every thing from Hinduism. From Language,Spirutual ,Culture ,Medicine , ART OF WAR ! ,Advanced Technology ,Maths ,Science and Many Many Many More even in the modern day. At present Its Indian Brain !

As we always said TRUTH CAN BE HIDDEN BUT CAN NOT BE CHANGED

1000 YR OLD TEMPLE IN INDONESIA, HINDU NATION 1000 YRS BEFORE ISLAM.

 

Archaeologists in Indonesia have uncovered a 1,000-year-old temple that could shed light on the country's Hindu past.

1000 YEAR OLD GANESH TEMPLE IN INDONESIA

1000 years old Ancient Hindu Temple Uncovered in Yogyakarta ,Indonesia under Islamic University

Archaeologists in Indonesia have uncovered a 1,000-year-old temple that could shed light on the country's Hindu past.

The intricately carved ...statues and reliefs are some of the best preserved in Indonesia, but the dig is being conducted under tight security to protect the site from well-organised relic thieves. The temple was found on the grounds of Yogyakarta's Islamic University as workers probed the ground to lay foundations for a new library, and they realised the earth beneath their feet was not stable.

Digging soon revealed an extraordinary find: three metres underground were still-standing temple walls. Heavy rains then exposed the top of a statue of the god Ganesha in pristine condition. A few weeks into the excavation, archaeologists are declaring the temple and its rare and beautiful statues an important discovery that could provide insights into Indonesia's pre-Islamic culture.

"This temple is a quite significant and very valuable because we have never found a temple as whole and intact as this one," said archaeologist Dr Budhy Sancoyo, who is one of the researchers painstakingly cleaning up the temple.

 "This temple is important for understanding the culture of our ancestors."

A volcanic eruption is thought most likely to have covered the temple around the 10th century, about 100 years after it was built.
The eruption preserved its statues and reliefs in better condition than almost everything else discovered in Indonesia from that period, including the Borobodur and Prambanan temple complexes.
But now that they are exposed, the temple's contents need to be protected with 24-hour security.
Last November, thieves plundered the nearby Plaosan Temple.
The heads of two rare Buddhist statues were stolen, to be traded by organised syndicates dealing in artefacts.
Tri Wismabudhi from central Java's culture and heritage agency says temple thieves are robbing Indonesians of a piece of their history.
"To us, archaeological sites like this are archaeological data, so if the data is missing or incomplete, that means the history of the nation is also missing," he said.
"People don't understand that. That's why they steal, because they don't realise how important this is for us as a nation."
At the Kimpulan temple on the campus of Yogyakarta's Islamic University, the statue of Ganesha is being kept slightly buried to make it harder to steal.
It could sell for up to $250,000 on the black market.
The university wants to open the site to the public once the dig is complete.
The library that was destined for the site will be redesigned to incorporate the Hindu temple.

HIDDEN HISTORY,WESTERN FOOLED US???

HIDDEN History
The lost continent of Kumari Kandam:Motherland of MAN KIND (NOTE : Dravidian mentioned here to make it easy for english members . Hindus= Indian = Dravidians = Aryan = Human . SIMPLE AS THAT )

More than 1,40,000 Year old Indian Civilization.

I’m sure the science-fiction geeks amongst y’all know about the lost continents of Atlantis, Lemuria and Mu. These are the “missing continents” that were submerged in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans respectively.

[The story of Atlantis has its origin in the Platonic dialogues, while Lemuria was hypothesized in the late 1800s as an explanation for why there were Lemurs in both Madagascar and India but not in Africa or the Middle East. Both are now beloved of mystics and kooks. Nobody really cares about Mu, although it is sometimes confused with Lemuria.]
Sri Lanka together with India, Indonesia and Malaysia were a part of this continent. Many islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans are remnants of this continent that in ancient time covered the whole area of today’s ocean.
 

The lost continent of Kumari Kandam
It turns out that everything does not actually come from India, it comes from Kumari Kandam. And by everything, I do mean everything.

“Homo Dravida” first evolved in Kumari Kandam; it is the cradle of civilization; the birthplace of all languages in general and of the Tamil language in particular. This is where the first and second great ages (Sangams?) of the Tamils happened, not in India, but in the true Dravidian homeland, further south.

R. Mathivanan, then Chief Editor of the Tamil Etymological Dictionary Project of the Government of Tamilnadu, in 1991 … [produced] the following timeline …:

ca. 200,000 to 50,000 BC: evolution of “the Tamilian or Homo Dravida”,
ca. 200,000 to 100,000 BC: beginnings of the Tamil language
50,000 BC: Kumari Kandam civilisation
20,000 BC: A lost Tamil culture of the Easter Island which had an advanced civilisation
16,000 BC: Lemuria submerged
6087 BC: Second Tamil Sangam established by a Pandya king
3031 BC: A Chera prince in his wanderings in the Solomon Island saw wild sugarcane and started cultivation in Tamilnadu.
1780 BC: The Third Tamil Sangam established by a Pandya king
7th century BC: Tolkappiyam (the earliest extant Tamil grammar)  

Kumari Kandam


The continent was destroyed by three large floods which wiped out most of the golden civilization with it:

It is believed by some Tamil scholars that the first academy existed at southern Maturai and was terminated by sea devouring the city. The Pandya king established a second academy at Kapadapuram. Again, the sea devoured the city. The Pandya king established the third academy in present Maturai (far away from sea coast).


What was left was later wiped out by the invaders that corrupted the remnants of the once great Tamil civilizations:

“After imbibing the mania of their culture of destroying the enemy and their habitats, the Dravidians developed a new avenging and destructive war approach. This induced them to ruin the forts and cities of their own brethren out of enmity
Archaeological & Geological Evidence
A discovery made by a team of marine archaeologists from India’s National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) in March 1991 has begun to bring about a sea-change. Working the off-shore of Tarangambadi-Poompuhar coast in Tamilnadu near Nagapattinam, a research vessel equipped with side-scan sonar, identified a man-made object and described it as “ a horse shoe shaped structure”. In 1993, it was examined again and NIO’s diver archaeologists reported that the U-shaped structure lies at a depth of 23 metres and about 5 kms offshore.

The significance of that discovery is that it is a much older structure to any discovered earlier. Subsequent explorations carried out by Graham Hancock and his team, who working in association with Dr Glen Milne, a specialist in glacio-isotacy and glaciation induced sea-level change, were able to show that areas at 23 metres depth would have submerged about 11,000 years before the present time or 9,000 BC. The historical significance of that fact is that it makes the U-shaped structure 6,000 years older than the first monumental architecture of Egypt or of ancient Sumer or Mesopotamia (in present day Iraq) dated around 3,000 BC and traditionally regarded as the oldest civilisations of antiquity.

The Durham geologists led by Dr. Glen Milne have shown in their maps that South India between 17,000-7,000 years ago extended southward below Cape Comorin (Kanya Kumari) incorporating present day Ilankai/ Sri Lanka. It had an enhanced offshore running all the way to the Equator. The maps portray the region as no history or culture is supposed to have known it. The much larger Tamil homeland of thousands of years ago as described in the Kumari Kandam tradition takes shape. It supports the opening of the Kumari Kandam flood tradition set in the remote pre-historic period of 12,000 –10,000 years ago. The inundation specialists confirm that between 12,000-10,000 years ago Peninsular India’s coastlines would have been bigger than what they are today before they were swallowed up by the rising seas at the end of the Last Ice Age.

With its description of submerged cities and lost lands, the Kumari Kandam tradition predicted that pre-historic ruins more than 11,000 years old should lie underwater at depths and locations off Tamilnadu’s coast. The NIO’s discovery and Dr. Milne’s calculations now appear to confirm the accuracy of that prediction. At that period of time, Ilankai/ Sri Lanka was part and parcel of South India. It is, however, in the inundation map for 10,600 years ago as seen that the island to the south of Kanya Kumari had disappeared to a dot, and the Maldives further ravaged.

But more importantly, a neck of sea is seen separating Tuticorin in South India from Mannar in what is now Ilankai/ Sri Lanka. It is however in the map for 6,900 years ago that the separation of Ilankai/ Sri Lanka from the South Indian mainland is complete as it is today. Ilankai/ Sri Lanka’s separate existence as an island, so it seems, began 6,900 years ago or circa 4,900 BC.

What the Significance of "Aaragya (अर्ध्य)" (offering water to Sun)?

What the Significance of "Aaragya (अर्ध्य)" (offering water to Sun)?

Our parents, grand parents teach us to get up early get ready and offer water to Sun since our childhood. in the society where we have been dealing with rituals, faith and belief does it actually help us in offering water to Sun. or its just another myth.

There have been researches and many provide scientific reasons for offerning water to sun which generally is done using a Lota. When we pour water by raising both our hands towards Sun God a very thin flow of water falls from the Lota and we do not even see towards the Sun because of the strong rays coming from it. While our ancestors would offer water to Sun God at the time of dawn, when the Sun rises, with a utensil which had a wide edge. When the water was offered by raising both the hands towards the Sun God a wide film of flowing water would be made in front of the eyes and our ancestors (sages, saints) would see the Sun God through that film of flowing water. The rays of the Sun coming (filtered from the flowing film of water) at the time of sun rise were not only excellent for their eyes but it would also energize their entire body and soul.

scientists say that the early morning sun rays are good for the human being, after all human body is also a bundle of energy. The human body is made up of five things, air (vayu), water (jal), earth (prithvi), fire (energy) and space (aakash) and the cure of all the ailments of the body is amongst these five things only and the rays of the rising sun are one of these things. Many diseases can be cured by the use of sun rays e.g. ailments of the heart, eyes, jaundice, leprosy and weak mind. Rigveda says, it is sun that wakes one up from sleep. It is due to thesun that all can work and are active. All living beings of the creation depend on the sun. The sun removes physical, mental and spiritual weaknesses and makes one healthy and long lived. The seven colours of the sun are very good and important for the health. If early morning one has a bath and after offering prayers to the Lord one has sun bath and allows the sun rays to fall on one's body then one could free the body of all ailments and increase one's intelligence.

On the other hand there are theories that say SUN isn't thirsty of water OR it is the way our offering reach to SUN. just to prove this theory one saint created a 2 - 3 feet way for water to move on banks of ganga . when others asked why is he wasting sacred Ganga's water, the saint calmly replied he has moved water to his fields in village.

All other saints got angry and said this way water can't be reached to his fields so the said smiled and asked then how come your offerings reach to SUN.

anyways question still remains what benefits we get from "Aaragya"? and the confilct continues amongst two philosophies.

HINDUISM IN NUTSHELL

HINDUISM IN NUTSHELL 

It does not want you to do or believe something if you do not wish to.

Nor does it condemn you to Hell if you do not follow it.

it suits your Nature, attitudes and Lifestyle.

Let us look at some facts of Hinduism.

1.You can be a Non Believer in God, yet a follower of Hinduism.

Denial of God is also a path to Reality, asserts Hinduism.

What is required is the eternal quest to know and realize what you are, that is Hinduism.

You are born in Hinduism, it is by attitudes not by dogma.

There are Philosophical systems which deny God, yet are a part of Sanatana Dharma, called by the West as Hinduism.

Nyaya, Vaiseshika, Sankhya do not believe in the concept of God. yet they are a part of Hindu systems of Philosophy.

2.If you believe in God, you may worship in any form you wish and are comfortable with.

To choose modern terminology, the template is all your to choose from.

Be it a male or Female,

In the Form of Mother(UMA,Parvati,Kali)

As Father Siva, Vishnu,

As Guru, The Preceptor( Dakshinamurthy) or Lord Krishna.

As friend, Lord Krishna as He was to Arjuna,

As Friend, as Siva was to Sunadaramurthy,

As a child Lord Krishna,

As a warrior, Rudra,

As a principle of Nature, Air, Water, Fire, Earth-Vayu, Varuna, Agni and Prithvi,

As a servant, Lord Shiva.

3.You can choose a Human Figure or symbol.

Linga Swaroopa(Shiva) Saligrama(Vishnu and Shiva)

As Mathematical Symbols, The Yantras,

As Plain Nature, Prakriti

4.You can choose how you want to follow,

By performing Duty(Karma Yoga),

Through Knowledge(Gnana Yoga),

Physical and mental Exercise(Raja Yoga)

Surrendering to God(Bhakti Yoga)

5.You are not born to/in Hinduism.

Hinduism holds the view every one to be a Sanadhani who is Pure and a Believer.

One is always a Hindu by disposition at Birth.

6.Hinduism does not have room for conversions and reconversion.

Hinduism does not talk about Religious conversion at all.

If you follow it for your good, if not ‘No comments’

7.Hinduism absorbs facts that are Good.

Hinduism is like a reed.

It does not stand rigid against the Tide.

It bends and stands up once the water drains.

When onslaught is made on it, it seems to bend, later it absorbs what is good or proceeds as it has been hitherto.

As it has done to the Agamas,Buddhism and Jainism

8.Hinduism does not advocate Collective worship or temple worship.

Essentially it advises on Personal worship.

But if you want to worship collective and need a place, yes you have it, The Temples.

9.Hinduism does not condemn you to Hell if you do not believe in it.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna, after explaining the Hindu Thoughts to Arjuna, says towards the end of the Gita , to follow what Arjuna Thinks as Right and what would suit him!

10.Everything, living and presumed Nonliving should be happy, that is Hinduism,

LAWS OF UNIVERSE

If one looks the Universe and its workings it would be evident that everything in the Universe takes place in a rhythmic  pattern.

 Stars are formed, decay, Die and are regenerated.

Plants , animals and Man are born grow, decay and die.

Seasons come and go.

Everything in the world takes something from the Universe and gives it back.

Plants give out Oxygen and we need Oxygen ‘we give out carbon and Plants need them

Despite our mishandling of the Universe, the Universe takes back what we have taken from it, including our Life and Body.

The Laws of Universe do not expect anything.

Gravitation,Light,Heat and the other elements do not care whether we understand them or not.

They just go about their jobs..

In the Vedas performance of an action because it ought to be performed is called Yagna.

The Purusha Suktam describes the evolution of the Universe at two levels. describing the process at two levels.

One by performing a Yagna and another as Yaga where a specific result is required.

The Purusha ukta describe the process of manifestation as Indian Philosophy does not use the term Creation, but only manifestation.

Creation involves bringing forth some thing new which has not been in Existence before.

As everything is Eternal there is no question of Creating something.

Contrary to what many belive the Pursh Sukta is not about Vishnu or Narayana.

Separate Suktam on these Deities appeat later as Narayan Suktam and Sri Vishnu Suktam.

While Narayana is an Amsa of Purusha, Visnu is an Amsa of Narayana.

As Lakshmi and Durga are.

Therefore to complete the Chanting one has to recite all the Five Suktas .

This is the actual Panchamrutha. not the dish we prepare and offer to God as an item to bathe Him with.

When some one says in the Pooja, whether in the Temples or Homes, Panchamrutha Snanam Samarppayami, the Five Suktas are to be chanted.

The Vedas have Four Parts,

Samhitas, which contain Prayers to Gods,

Brahmanas about the Oblations/Yagnas,

Aranyakas, the efforts to realize Reality from the forest, and

The Upanishads, where Reality is described.

The Purusha Sukta is unique in that it contains all the four parts in one Sukta,

Purusha Sukta appears in the Rig Veda 10.90 verses.

सहस्रशीर्षा पुरुषः सहस्राक्षः सहस्रपात् ।
स भूमिं विश्वतो वृत्वात्यतिष्ठद्दशाङुलम् ॥१॥
Sahasra-Shiirssaa Purussah Sahasra-Akssah Sahasra-Paat |
Sa Bhuumim Vishvato Vrtva-Atya[i]-Tisstthad-Dasha-Angulam ||1||

Meaning:
1.1: The Purusha (The Universal Being) has Thousand Heads, Thousand Eyes and Thousand Feet (Thousand signifies innumerable which points to the omnipresence of the Universal Being),
1.2: He envelops the World from all sides (i.e. He pervades each part of the Creation), and extends beyond in the TenDirections ( represented by Ten Fingers ).

Purusha-Reality,

Sahsra Seersha-has over 1000 heads-In Sanskrit , innumerable is often called as ‘Sahasra’ or Thousand.

Aksha-has 100 eyes(Aksha-eyes)

Sahasrabath-has over 1000 feet.

Bommim-The Earth,

Viswatha-everywhere,

Vruthvaa-Spread and immanent,

Dasa Angulam-Stands at 10 Inches.

Athyathishtath-Stands, remains.

Angulam means ‘by a measurement of two fingers’

“The fact that the unit of angulam of 1.763 cm could match very well the dimensions of historical monuments establishes the continuity of India’s engineering tradition through the ages for as long as 3,900 years’

In Hindu Theology the personal God Iswara who resides in the heart measures one inch .

In Hinduism, the Psychological heart is said to be on the Right side of the Chest as against the left side for the Physical heart.

In this verse, the external manifestation of the Universal Principle , as can be grasped by the Human mind, is expressed,just as camera film records the size, not in real-time.
