MAYA , INCA, AZTEC CIVILIZATIONS DECODED-EXTENDED INDIAN,BHARAT'S CULTURE.HINDUISM CULTURE

MAYA , INCA, AZTEC CIVILIZATIONS DECODED




Between 1519 to 1533, the white Christian man discovered and destroyed in a most foul manner, 3 glorious civilizations - the Aztecs of Mexico, Maya of Yuacatan and Guatemala and Inca of Peru.

Historians have time and again tried to decode these civilizations, but have been unsuccessful.

Recently we found a 600000 year old human skull in the Narmada valley Gongwana.  Narmada river is the fountain head of ALL evolution. Meteorites holding DNA ( Shiva lingams ) rained from the sky.
 Maya, Inca and Aztec civilizations were founded by ancient Indians. The Mayan calendar , which everybody knows about , is nothing but a Vedic calendar made by Maya Danava. The Mayan calendar began with the Fifth Great Cycle in 3114 BC and will end on 21 December 2012 AD. In Surya Siddhantam, Maya described how eclipses were caused..



Both the Hindus and S Americans used similar items in their worship rituals. They both maintained the concept of four Yuga cycles, or cosmological seasons, extending over thousands of years, and conceived of twelve constellations with reference to the sun as indicated by the Vedic-Incan sun calendar.


 The ancient Hindus mainly used lunar calendars but also used solar calendars. In the ancient days Indians were the first to do astronomy and astrology. Every other civilization just copied and mirrored , several thousands of years later.


 The Indus Valley inhabitants followed a calendar based on the movements of Jupiter Brihaspathi , and the Mayans followed one based on the Venus Shukra .


The Mayan calendar was made by the Asura Maya Danava, who ran away to Palala . Palata is Vedic lore is the nether world--underneath the ground. For a global earth this translated to the area of these 3 civilizations. 
 THE FLIGHT OF THE VEDIC VIMAMA  VADAKAYIL.


 Maya Danava went to Peru on his own Vimana which was a spacecraft. He had designed several of these spacecrafts for Kubera.   Lord Kubera, the brother of King Ravana had several Vimanas, and he had gifted him one in return for services rendered.  Maya was an architect and a metallurgist par excellence-- he was a magician literally with palaces. He was the architect of Tripura ( Atlantis ) and the Lanka palace of Kubera which was usurped by his half brother Ravana along with the Pushpaka Vimana. After the Ramayana war in 4300 BC, this vimana ( flying saucer with mercury plasma gyroscope vortex ) was returned back to its rightful owner Kubera by Lord Rama.


Maya was arm twisted by Arjuna in a foul manner, to build the amazing Indraprasta Mahasabha for Yuddhisthira. In the ancient days having the best palace among all kings had its own glory and held the awe factor for respect. Mayasabha was a palace of illusions. Maya means illusion in Sanskrit. 

Guest king Duryodhana was circumspect while walking thorough, unable to figure out which is solid and which is liquid, causing Draupadi to laugh loudly in sarcasm from the balcony. Then King Duryodhana to preserve his honour, walked with less caution and fell headlong into a pool of water, and Draupadi laughed again in sarcasm--this time louder.  Duryodhana came out of the pool dripping wet and shouted at her " This laugher will cost you dear!". This was the root cause for the Mahabharata war in 4000 BC.



Maya Danava was a descendant of Danu, one of Kasyapa‘s 13 wives and a daughter of Dakhsa Prajapati. Maya’s grandson ( Mandodari’s son) Meghanada, defeated Indra and was called Indrajit.Maya’s sons Dundhubi and Mayavi were killed by the Vanara, Vali. Maya’s son-in-law Ravana was defeated by Lord Rama in the Ramayana war.


Maya is the author of Surya Siddhantam, which he learnt directly from an Amsa of Surya Deva, where he describes the Heliocentric  model . Maya had accurately arrived at the orbital periods of visible planets, their distance from Earth and their diameters.  In the Surya Siddhanta, a work dealing with astronomy he had described about the results of his analysis. 'Surya' means 'Sun' and 'Siddhanta' means 'theory'.


The British made a big hue and cry when German Jew Sir Frederick William Herschel ( 1738-1822 ) "discovered " Uranus on March 13th 1781--  hi hi the stupid Indians never knew all this. .   Indian Vedic astrology does NOT use Uranus (Shweta ) Neptune ( Shyama) Pluto ( Teevra )- as named in 7000 year old Vedas Vyasa Muni , just because they are too far away to affect your DNA and they stay in one single rashi for too long. 
Ptolemy came to India in 155 AD, and he stole from the astronomical data from Surya Siddhanta (12.85-90) , the most significant being the diameters of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn . You must understand that these diameters were calculated more thas 6 millenniums ago when even the atmospheric refraction of earth was different. 

Much before Pythagoras came to India and stole his theorem.


Maya is mentioned 23 times in the Ramayana, and 61 times in the Mahabharata.   A unique reason for glory and legacy indeed. He was the acharya of all the Mayavis ( sorcerers ).


Maya Danava was a descendant of Danu, one of Kasyapa‘s 13 wives and a daughter of Dakhsa Prajapati.
 Maya Danava was in the Khandava forest,  at the outskirts of New Delhi,  to build for Takshaka the Naga king.  This was the opportunity Arjuna in collusion with Lord Krishna looked for. They set fire to the mighty forest which was reputed to hold every specimen of flora and fauna. In this gruesome deliberate fire everything died except Takshaka's Aswasena son and 4 sarnagaka birds.  Maya was conveniently saved by Lord Krishna.



Out of sheer gratitude Asura Maya Danava asked , how he can ever repay Arjuna. Immediately Lord Krishna trapped him.  "Let a palatial Sabha (meeting hall) as thou choosest, be built by thee, if thou, O son of Diti, who art the foremost of all artists, desirest to do good to Yudhishthira the just (Mbh.2.1)".


 Krishna told Arjuna "Your city has been constructed by Vishwakarma and is truly beautiful. However, the Indraprastha palace is much too plain for such a wonderful city. Let a palatial meeting hall be constructed for Yudhishtra the just. Maya Danava is the best person to construct it, being the architect of the Asuras."Maya measured out a plot of land five thousand cubits square and began the construction. Soon the peerless palace of great beauty encrusted with diamonds was completed. The columns of this palace were made of gold. Maya appointed 8000 asuras called Kinkaras to guard this palace. Inside the palace, there were many amazing devices. It took the Maya just fourteen months to complete this building. Everything was made as per the principles of Vaastu.


In Indian history, Mayan appears several times, most significantly as the author of Mayamatam, "Concept of Mayan" which is a Vastu Shastra, a text on art, architecture and town planning.


 Narada on hearing of this palace hall came to visit , and he cried "O Child, I have never seen nor heard ever before, neither among men, nor among the gods, any assembly room built of gems and precious stones like this hall of thine. I have been to the hall of Indra, it is not equal to yours. I have been to the hall of Yama that shines like burnished gold, but it is inferior to this hall in beauty. I have visited Pushakaramalini, the hall of Varuna, floating in the waters, but it is not equal to yours. The hall of Kubera certainly displays his immense wealth, but is not as beautiful as yours. I have been to the hall of Lord Brahma, the grandsire of all beings, where the Prajapatis offer him worship, but its splendor is nothing to yours. I have seen all these assembly halls O King, but without question, your hall is the best that ever was."

In India, even modern architects learn Maya Danava's Vaastu as part of their syllabus. They perceive existence in terms of two dimensions: first the infinite spiritual realm and second the finite accommodating space for insentient material objects. This concept of a superior plane of existence, where the original form of things exist eternally, is the basis of India's sacred architecture.

Vaastu shastra prescribes desirable characteristics for sites and buildings based on flow of energy called Vaastu Purusha.

Vaastu Shastra which is considered a conduit between man and nature is based on the infinite powers of the five elements – fire, water, earth, and air and space. It essentially deals with two energy sources – the solar energy flux and the geomagnetic energy flux. This science aims at controlling the flow of these two energies by selecting proper directions and alignments for the vaastu. Vaastu is basically aimed at harnessing the higher energy levels within the self and can help in various aspects of life. Buildings not constructed as per Vaastu see their decline to ruins much faster than those built otherwise.

I will get back to the science of Vaastu later on. Vaastu is an Indian thing. You have to be VERY surprised when the intricate mathematical and geometrical principles are Vaastu are followed in arhitecture abroad, when all civilizations were wide apart.

Now let me get back to the surprising similarities between Indian civilisations and these South and Central American civilizations. This first Indian contact happened 11000 years ago.




The ancient Mexican game of Patolli is similar in details to the game of Panchisi played in India. The mathematical probability of two games invented separately agreeing by chance in so many specific intricate features, is zilch.  Mexican call a potter "Kumbhar", as Sanskrit word. There are several other similarities.

After Vedic people the Mayas of Yucatan were the first people to use a zero sign in Mathematics. This knowledge came from India, as we had this knowledge thousand of years before them.  All over Mayan civilization you find stone sculptures of Indian Vimanas and people in space suits. They just sculpted what they saw.  The Kundalini snake of Lord Shiva is also depicted.


The elephant on a sculptured pillar at Copan, which he referred to as an “idol”. Is an animal unknown in that country. It is an Indian elephant and NOT an African elephant. Indian elephants are found in Indian elephants as they are conscious creatures. They can see their image in the mirror, which only humans can do. Animals and birds cant see themselves in the mirror.  Few like Bonobos and Chimps can see partially.

Archaeologists found many Hindu deities like Shiva, black meteorite Shiva linga, Lord Ganesha, Goddess Kali, Sun god Surya , Buddha etc. (in similar or slightly different forms) which were worshiped in ancient America.   

Images of Ganesha have been excavated in plenty in Mexico. This god with the elephant's trunk is frequently depicted in Mexican manuscripts . Lord Ganesha 'Ekadant Ganesh' was found in the temple at Kopan .


The image of Hanuman called by the name 'Wilka Huemana' and measuring 50 feet in height and 12 feet in breadth was found in Guatemala. Similar one was found during an excavation of an Aztec temple in Mexico City and was known as 'Euhectal', a wind God, a monkey God.


In the jungles of Honduras idols sit in Hindu mudra meditation pose .




The Hindu doctrine of the ages is found on a massive stone monolith popularly known as the Aztec calendar. This amazing piece of stone disc is 12 feet in diameter and weights more than 20 tons.


A festival called Sita-Ram (Situa - Raimi) was celebrated in Mexico during Nav-Ratri or Dussehra period which has been described on page 5867 in the book 'Hamsworth History of the World'.  

Both in Central and South America, there are found Sati cremation, priesthood, gurukul system, yajna, birth, marriage and death ceremonies to some extent similar to the Hindus. When Pizarro killed Peruvian King Atahualpa his 4 wives committed Sati—or self sacrifice.  


Same with Hindu concepts of cataclysm, rebirth, four yugas and the concept of two planets like Rahu and Ketu causing solar eclipse



The ancient American's dresses (male and female) were simple and similar to those of Hindu dresses. You can mistake a Mexican woman with a Indian woman, with narrow waist , wide feminine hip bones  long black hair and same facial features.


 Ayar Inoa King used to wear a turban, earring and a trishul type trident in his hand.

Vegetarianism exists in these areas as well as Hindu India. They wore cotton which is India's gift to this planet. Indian maize is used in Mexican Tortillas --a form of Chapati.They love their food spicy, like Indians.

Baron Alexander Von Humboldt,  did extensive studies and found similarities between Asian and Mexican astrology.

In 1866, the French architect, Eugene Viollet-le-Duc,  noted striking resemblances between ancient Mexican temples and  and those of South India.

There is amazing similarity between the Hindu Trinity - Brahma- Vishnu- Shiva and the Mexican Trinity Ho- Huitzilopochtli- Tlaloc .

The idols were represented with serpents round their heads, as for Lord Shiva.-basically raised Kundalini.

The Swastika sign of this area , seen on a "huaco" pot had with four dots inside. This is a Vedic sign that you can see on the top of the gates of ancient temples, and even in my home.


 A flying monkey wearing a helmet , holding a mountain in one hand and a club in the other is the same as Hanuman of Ramayana 4300 BC.

In Bolivia and south of Peru, you can see the "La Diablada" ("Demoniac Dance"). This famous festival depicts a very ancient Indian story: two angel-like warriors fight ( Rama and Lakshmana )  against a ten-headed demon ( Ravana of Sri Lanka ) . This demon has a army and the angelical warriors are being helped by animal armies, especially by a society of well organized monkeys., who built the Ram Sethu bridge. Yet our Italian waitress who rules India and her “not so bright” son, thinks this is fanstasy.

INCA OF PERU is “ Child of the sun” in Quechua . In Sanskrit Dinaka has same meaning. Dinakar is a common name in India.

AZTEC OF MEXICO is derived from "worshipper of Ashtabhuja or Ashtak ( 8 armed ) " , the eight armed God- found in Mexican temples.  

No where in the word are multi-armed idols found, except in India.

Trilokinath, the Hindu ruler of the three worlds, was known to the Mexicans by the name, until the Spanish conquerors mistakenly changed the name into Tloque Nahuaque. William MacLeod had written about the similarity between the Mexican volador ritual and the Indian rite of hook-swinging.



Above: Aztec Ganesha ( elephant god )

MAYANS OF GUATEMALA and Yuacatan call Kundalini, as kultunlilni.  Kultunlilni is the vital life force empowering all human growth and development. This crucial life-force is the same as what is known in Hindu cosmology as the serpent power: Kundalini. In a temple in Guatemala is a statue of an incarnation of Vishnu as Kurma, the tortoise. The sculpture is richly and finely detailed and strongly suggests that it can only be done by a pure Hindu Indian.



A wall panel (Panel No. 3 of Temple 0-13, at Piedras Negras, Guatemala; reproduced as Plate 69, page 343 of 'The Ancient Maya' by S.G. Morley) belonging to the Later Classic Stage of Mexican history, associated with the peaking of Maya architecture and sculpture. It depicts the Ramayana. The artistic design and postures of the figures carved can be compared to those found at Ajanta and Ellora caves in India.

The Mexicans throne is same as the Hindu Simhasan (Lion throne).  The Kings wore turbans and travelled in Indian palanquins.



US  Ambassador Miles Poindexter, to Mexico, in his two-volume 1930s treatise The Ayar-Incas called the Mayan civilization "unquestionably Hindu." He said that that primitive Aryan words and people came to South merica across the Pacific ocean . Poindexter gives a long list of words of the Quichua languages and their analogous forms in Indian Sanskrit. He also detailed the similarities between the hymns of the Inca rulers of Peru and Vedic hymns 



Betel-chewing with lime and coca-whew and tobacco, as well as the gourd-container for the lime are common to both people. The Peruvian substitute for tobacco, which was used for medicinal purposes, was a shrub, called cuca (coca).


Mexican temples and idols, as in India, were lavishly decorated with gold and precious stones.


Mayan gods Xiuhtechutli and Xipe Totec have their Vedic counterparts in Indra and Agni. Indra or Xiuhtechutli, is the rain god and guardian of the Eastern Quadrant, and Agni, or Xipe Totec, is the god of sacrificial fire, born in wood and the life force of trees and plants.  Mayas had ceremonies like Namakaranam, Punyaha vachana and Gurukula. They put their offerings to gods in water tanks like Hindus.

The ships made in Kerala never hugged the coast like European ships. These ships which could hold more than thousand people did cross-ocean from South India to West coast of South America. Chinese traveller Fa Hein had written that he himself travelled cross-ocean with 500 others. These ships were made with aged Teak and Rosewood, the best for shipbuilding. 

Our ancient Jataka stories wrote about large Indian ships carrying seven hundred people.  Brahmanda Purana provides the best and most detailed description of world map drawn on a flat surface using an accurate scale. When Vasco da Gama landed in Calicut ( my hometown ) in 1498, the King Zamorin, had whipped out a world map and asked him where he came from,much to his surprise

Lord Ganesha is seen with his vehicle rat in Inca mythology in Peru.  Lord Ganesha was found in temple of Diego Riviera in Mexico City. Hanuman and Lord Shiva can be seen in the Guatemala Museum. Shiva Lingam was found in Vera Cruz and in Mexico City. The Mexican Vishnu holds the traditional Gadha or mace and his Chakra. The image of Vishnu’s tortoise Kurma avatar incarnation is preserved by the United Fruit Line in the museum at Quiragua, Guatemala. They have named this image , the Turtle Stone. Indra and the Vamana (midget Brahmin ) avatar who did in Kerala ( my home state ) Asura King Mahabali can be seen in the Mexican National Museum .

The Maya Codex Tro-Cortesianus shows a tortoise, a central churning rod and a serpent being used as a rope by figures of dark and light shade, which is the Hindu Samudhra Manthan. The tortoise, is, however, on the summit of the mountain pestle instead of being beneath it, and the other form of the serpent god appears above his avatar. Round the mountain-pestle is twisted a snake. Two dark gods, evidently demonic forms of deities, like the Indian Asuras, hold one end of the snake-rope while the other end is grasped by the elephant god Ganesha.


The largest temple in Mexico City was the temple of Lord Shiva, the War God of the Mexican whom the Spanish invaders found entwined by golden snakes. The Mexican temple had the Gopuram South Indian temple MERU style. 

Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raflles or the father of Singapore wrote,”The great Hindu temple of Borobudur might readily be mistaken for a Central American Temple. Every page of Peruvian poetry bears the imprint of Ramayana and Mahabharata.”


Mayan crystal skulls could have been carved in ancient times without instruments and tools of today. The most amazing thing was that the ancient skull weighing 5.13 kg, 203.4 mm long and 125.4 mm wide had been made of a whole crystal. This fact contradicted the laws of physics. The research by Hewlett-Packard in 1964 in a special laboratory revealed that the skull had been made long before the first civilizations appeared in that part of America where the skull was found. In addition, rock crystal of such perfect quality could not be found in that area.

Crystal quartz is the same material used in microchips that can hold billions of bits of information. Given that, imagine the amount of info a whole skull can hold.  These  13 Crystal Skulls are  linked to the “Year Zero” or December 21, 2012, the date at which the Mayan Calendar ends.


The rock crystal has a hardness that is slightly lower than that of topaz, corundum, and diamond; it can be cut with diamonds only. It is astonishing, but the ancient Mayans managed to cut it somehow, and even made a lower jaw with the joints.

Diamonds were found only in India till 1886.

Now let me get back to Vaastu.


 Mayans like Hindus worshiped the very concept of space, specifically a space made according to the modular system. There is a sacred room in the center of the Chidambaram Siva Temple in South India, where space or akasha ( ether ) is worshiped- there is no idol.


The temple structure at the top is exactly 1/4th of the base according to Vastu Vedic principles of Mayan.  The name of the structure is chilambalam, meaning a sacred space. Mayan chilambalam refers to a sacred space, as does Tamil Chidambaram. Yok'hah in Mayan means "on top of truth,"  is what is  yoga in Sanskrit.

Machu Picchu temples and structures follows the Indian Vaastu. The layout of these structures, locations for doors, windows, proportions of width to length, roof styles, degree of slopes for roofs, column sizes, wall thicknesses, etc., all conform completely to the principles and guidelines as prescribed in the Vastu Shastras of Maya Danava in India. Residential layouts are identical to those found in Mohenjodaro.



The temple layouts are identical to those that he is building today and that can be found all over India.Maya Danava advocated the use of an eight-by-eight square, for a total of 64 units, which is known as the Vastu Purusha Mandala. The buildings were oriented toward certain points of the compass, also a principle of Maya, rather than randomly placed. Also the lengths of buildings were never more than twice their width, as Maya Danava stipulated.


The sculptures were similar or identical to India, such as the earrings, ear plugs, teeth, head dresses, even buckles around the waist. There are bas reliefs of priests sitting in lotus posture meditating.


 As in Mayan buildings, Indians have been using lime mortar for all of their stone and brick buildings. This can been seen in the monumental creations in Mahabalipuram and also in the South Indian temples.. The outer surfaces were plastered, embellishments worked out in lime mortar, then painted.

The size of plots, position of doors and windows, proportions, form of roofs, inclination angles of roofs, diameter of columns, width of walls etc. are perfectly in accordance with the rules of Vaastu. 

 As per Vaastu , the best location to build a temple is at a tirtha(holy place), which is  a ford or crossing place from this world to the above-a point of marriage between transcendence and the mundane. A tirtha provides a crossing place for the upward journey of the soul and a place for the downward crossing-for the crossing of higher entities who sometimes descend to this world for the good of mankind.


In Indian architecture, the dwelling is itself a shrine. A home is called manushyalaya, literally, "human temple". It is not merely a shelter for human beings in which to rest and eat. The concept behind house design is the same as for temple design, so sacred and spiritual are the two spaces. The "open courtyard" system of house design was the national pattern in India before Western models were introduced. The s is called Brahmasthanam, meaning the "nuclear energy field". It should be kept unbuilt and open to the sky so as to have contact with the outer space (akasha). 

The northeast quarter is called Isanya, the southeast Agni, the southwest Niruthi and northwest Vayu. These are said to possess the qualities of four respective devatas or gods—Isa, Agni, Niruthi and Vayu. Accordingly—with due respect to ecological friendliness with the subtle forces of the spirit—those spaces (quarters) are assigned as follows: northeast for the home shrine, southeast for the kitchen, southwest for the master bedroom and northwest for the storage of grains. 


Energy is primarily considered as emanating from the center of the building. It originates from subtle earth energy called Vaastu Purusha and subtle cosmic energy (Unified Field) called Vastu Purusha which meet in the center of the building and then spread outward in all directions. these two energies unite and form the five elements which then distribute in the for corner zones. This energy is a mixture of Vaastu energy, which is subtle energy from the earth, and Vastu energy which is subtle energy from Consciousness itself. 


Even my home is made as per principles of Vaastu. Let me quote a few among hundreds of rules.

Only new material should be used for the construction of the building.

Dig a well in N-E direction and use this ground water for the construction of the house.
One must paint his/her house in light colors avoiding red and black for bringing prosperity.
Doors must be opened at inner side of the house not at outer side as it brings luck and positive energy in the house.
 The guest room should be at the North-West side of the house and closer to the living room and at the front side of the house. 
While placing the bed make sure that you do not sleep with your head to the north side as that will create a repelling magnetic force in your blood stream that will cause disruption in sleep. You can sleep with you head towards any other side, but the best side to keep your head while sleeping is south. 
The safe should be placed in south west side and it should be opened in the north direction. You need to keep the north east side empty.
The NE side of the plot ( kanni moola ) must be raised and kept free of garbage.


It must be noted that the Spanish grossly magnified and exaggerated the bad points of these great cultures (like human sacrifices). It was selective reporting and vested interpretation to paint them in bad light and to show that Christianity did them a great favour in converting them from uncouth pariahs to cultured humans.


After the Spanish conquest, the first Bishop of Mexico, Juan de Zumarraga, burned all the records of the Library of Texcoco in Tlateloco market square as "the work of the Devil," and religious fanatics destroyed temples and statues. Fray Diego de Landa, the second Bishop of Yucatan, following the pattern, reduced the Maya Library in Yucatan to ashes in 1562. Bishop Diego da Landa burnt a huge bonfire of valuable documents and nothing but the three codices of 'Chilam Balam' could survive the holocaust....


"We found a large number of their books of these letters, and because they did not have anything in which there was not superstition and falsehoods of the devil, we burned them all, which they felt very sorry for and which caused them grief."


It was Landa that gave the orders for all the Mayans to bring all manuscripts to the public squares in Mani to be burned. All these books contained what would now be priceless information on astronomy, medicine, religion, and philosophy. The burning of manuscripts continued for decades. Soldiers were encouraged to ransack palaces, public buildings, and private houses to find manuscripts.

Pablo Jose de Arriaga, the head of the Jesuit College in Peru, in almost unparalleled fanaticism, caused the systematic and wholesale destruction of all state archives, customs records, royal and imperial archives, codes of laws, temple archives, and historical records. Less than a score of manuscripts escaped annihilation.
These libraries contained records of ancient Vedic history, medicine, astronomy, science, religion, and philosophy.

Below: The ancient Mayan had seen Indian Vimanas and recorded it on stone.




A German linguist Kurt Schildmann, a native of Heiderhof, says his study of ancient inscriptions discovered in the caves of Peru and the United States shows that they are similar to ancient Indus Valley Sanskrit, suggesting that Indians in Vimanas reached the Americas thousands of years ago.  He describes the Indus civilization as a forerunner of all other world civilizations. While doing "epigraphic research" on the Crespi collection of Cuenca, Peru, Schildmann discovered Sanskrit in inscriptions found in Peru and in the Burrows cave in southern Illinois.  

He also deciphered an icon found in the Burrows' cave, on which he said many details depicted the "wisdom of the Indus culture".  Schildmann was struck by the drawing of an elephant on top of a "Pyramid", with three lines of a legend.  He deciphered the legend as "PIL", that was 6000 years old ancient Sanskrit word for an elephant.  He concluded, the ancient Indian engraved texts on gold plates and hid them to honor the gods and address the succeeding generations.   Elephants are not found in Peru and USA.   In 1821 a man  Joseph Smith found these plates , considered himself the chosen one and founded the Mormon religion..

NASA: DNA Found on Meteorites Indicates Life ? Originated in Space

NASA researchers have found the building blocks for life in meteorites, indicating that the components for life on Earth may have originated in outer space.
DNAResearchers from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greebelt, Md., report evidence that ready-made DNA parts could have crashed to the surface on objects like meteorites, and then assembled under Earth's early conditions to create the first DNA.
The discovery was made using samples from 12 carbon-rich meteorites, nine of them from Antarctica. The team extracted small fragments of the meteorite and ran them through a process to determine their structure. What they found was adenine and guanine. These are two of the nucleobases needed to make the rungs of DNA's spiral ladder (in addition to thymine and cytosine, which were not present in the sample).
The team also found hypoxathine and xanthine, which are not part of DNA but are used in various biological processes.
"People have been discovering components of DNA in meteorites since the 1960s, but researchers were unsure whether they were really created in space or if instead they came from contamination by terrestrial life," said Dr. Michael Callahan, lead researcher of the discovery. "For the first time, we have three lines of evidence that together give us confidence these DNA building blocks actually were created in space."
The team all but ruled out the possibility that the compounds were contaminated on Earth because the nucleobases they found do not naturally occur on this planet. Furthermore, the samples, predominately found in Antarctic ice, did not have the chemical makeup to support terrestrial contamination.
They studied both terrestrial and extraterrestrial samples to make the comparisons. Opponents of the idea that DNA particles came from space typically point to contamination of samples to question the theory.
What is particularly significant about the new research is that the scientists were able to effectively prove there was no contamination and that the biological parts were created in space and carried to Earth.
The research has even greater implications than first meets the eye.
If the ingredients for life were brought here from some external source, there's always the possibility that the same thing has happened elsewhere in the universe -- possibly many times over. This would give credence to the theory that life exists on other planets.
Though the findings are likely to undergo a lot more scientific scrutiny, if meteorites are truly bringing in the ingredients for life, it could forever change our picture of life in the universe.
The research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

PROOF OF SOUL!!!!!!!!!HINDUISM DECODED

Is This Proof That The Soul Exists?
Does the soul exist? Is there any scientific theory of consciousness that could accommodate such a claim?  According to Dr. Stuart Hameroff, a near-death experience happens when the quantum information that inhabits the nervous system leaves the body and dissipates into the universe.  Contrary to materialistic accounts of consciousness, Dr. Hameroff offers an alternative explanation of consciousness that can perhaps appeal to both the rational scientific mind and personal intuitions.
Consciousness resides, according to Stuart and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose, in the microtubules of the brain cells, which are the primary sites of quantum processing.  Upon death, this information is released from your body, meaning that your consciousness goes with it. They have argued that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects in these microtubules, a theory which they dubbed orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR).
Consciousness, or at least proto-consciousness is theorized by them to be a fundamental property of the universe, present even at the first moment of the universe during the Big Bang. “In one such scheme proto-conscious experience is a basic property of physical reality accessible to a quantum process associated with brain activity.”
Our souls are in fact constructed from the very fabric of the universe – and may have existed since the beginning of time.  Our brains are just receivers and amplifiers for the proto-consciousness that is intrinsic to the fabric of space-time. So is there really a part of your consciousness that is non-material and will live on after the death of your physical body?
Dr Hameroff told the Science Channel’s Through the Wormhole documentary: “Let’s say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing, the microtubules lose their quantum state. The quantum information within the microtubules is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large.
If the patient is resuscitated, revived, this quantum information can go back into the microtubules and the patient says “I had a near death experience”‘
He adds: “If they’re not revived, and the patient dies, it’s possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.”
This account of quantum consciousness explains things like near-death experiences, astral projection, out of body experiences, and even reincarnation without needing to appeal to religious ideology.  The energy of your consciousness potentially gets recycled back into a different body at some point, and in the mean time it exists outside of the physical body on some other level of reality.

Value of Pi, written in Sanskrit by Arya Bhata, long before any European even thought of it

Photo: Value of Pi, written in Sanskrit by Arya Bhata, long before any European even thought of it.

Brahmastra

Brahmastra' is heard as a buzzword in almost every historical tale of Hindu History/Mythology. Have we ever wondered how is it invoked and fired? Like normal weapons it is not held in hands nor is usually kept in quiver like an ordinary arrow. When need arises to release this weapon, it is summonned by casting a divine spell (chanting a mantra). So, what's that secret code/mantra to fire this highly devastating missile?

It is said that Brahmastra is released by a mantra derived from gayatri mantram.
Some also believe that Gayatri mantram itself is used to release Brahmastra.

Then a question arises- why can't everyone who knows Gayatri mantra release Brahmastra?
I'm a twice born (Brahmin) and since the day of my thread ceremony (Upanayanam), as a tradition i should chant Gayatri mantram daily, and i do. So can i release Brahmastra? Definitely NOT!! Then what's the difernce between me and Dronacharya (another Brahmin) who could release Brahastra? The answer being a simple fact which is detailed below:-

All Mantras have great potency.One has to gain siddhi on a particular mantra before it works miracles for him. Now what is siddhi? Every mantra needs a particular no. of repeatation after which it becomes 'Siddh'. Siddhi is nothing but when a sadhaka chants with full concentration a particular mantra for a particular no. of times (no. varies and is either in thousands or lakhs or crores for each type), it gives him siddhi in that. Siddhi is nothing but that particular person himself becomes charged with that mighty energy.

In the case of Brahmastra, when a person is trained how to chant Gayatri mantra for Missile purpose, a person has to gain siddhi on it, and when he acquires it, he gets energized. With that energy when he releases even a grass blade by chanting that Gayatri mantra it turns into Brahma Missille due to his own charged energy and the missile inturn derives it's power from Lord Brahma.

This siddhi concept is not only limited to Astras, but it's all about a human being turning divine...We have seen many examples in our scriptures. Kapila muni had destroyed 1000 sons of Sagar just within a moment. Did he use any weapon? NO..he used his enerygy. How did he gain his energy? He should definitely have worked on some divine mantra and got energized himself.

We have also observed in the scriptures that sages usually refrain from giving curse. Only when there is no way they give curse. Why? Why can't they freely donate curses to anyone whom they see as sinners?

Reason is, when a siddh yogi (Energized human body) gives a curse, it decreases his aura (Teja/Energy) to a large extent, since curse also works by deriving enerygy from the Yogi's energy pool. However it wastes the energy to a great extent. so, usually saints refrain from wasting the energy since they always believe it should be used constructively. The same thing holds good for releasing the Brahmastra kind of Maha Weapons, sinc ethey also consume lot of energy and hence should be used when there is no other go.

Now coming back to Brahmastra again:-
Brahmastra is released by Chanting Gayatri in a specific manner, the syllable sounds and pitch may differ from normally what we chant during our puja.
So, a question arises, what's the diference between those two chants? Let me tell you that Sonic energy (Sound) is extremely powerful, since it's afterall energy!!
Any noise made at a particular frequency can destroy objects. We have examples where sound made in a particular high pitch destroys glass (metals and other objects as well).

In Stephen Knapp’s article “Frequencies that can kill, heal and transcend” he states, “The science of vibrations and frequencies and how they effect people is something that has been around for thousands of years. We can still find evidence of this in the ancient Vedic texts of India. These explain not only the results of using the frequencies of words and mantras, but also supply instructions in some cases. The sages of ancient India used it to produce various results in the rituals they performed, and from the mantras they would recite. If the mantras were recited in particular ways, certain amazing results would take place, including changing the weather, producing certain types of living beings, or even palaces. Others used it to produce weapons, like the Brahmashtra weapon, which was equal to the modern nuclear bombs. Specific mantras could be attached to arrows, with the sound causing powerful explosions when the arrow reached its target. Others used the science of vibrations to bring their consciousness to higher levels of perception, or to enter spiritual reality.” (This paragraph referred from 
here).

Now another question arises; if that is the case for Brahmastra, when a person chants gayatri at a very shrill sound, wouldn't that effect the listeners?
Well, it's not the sound which we hear. There are two types of sounds, before describing them let's know what is sound.
Sound is referred to as the “Nada Brahma” or the divine sound, that is to say, in abstraction too there is a connection with the divine. There are two types of sound: un-struck/un-heard sound and struck/heard sound. Un-struck sound is a vibration of ether, the upper or purer air near the celestial realm. The enlightened yogis seek the unstruck sound called “Anaahata Nada”, and only they can hear it. The struck sound or “Aahata Nada”, is the vibration of air in the lower atmosphere closer to the earth. It is any sound that we hear in nature or man-made sounds, musical, and non-musical. So to release Brahmastra it's the Anahata sound which is used to chant Gayatri and not the normal Aahata sound which we use for puja.

Also, since it's a person's divine energy which is used to propel the Brahma missile which in turn derives further energy from Lord Brahma, the destruction effect varies. It's not like if Drona releases Brahmastra, whatever effect/destruction it caused, would be the same if Lord Brahma himself releases the astra. In former case destruction would be massive, but in latter case it would be an annihilation in an astronomical range...!!

The sum and substance of this article is- Gayatri Mantra chanted in normal way can have healing and good benefits on a human, but when particularly chanted in a different/varying pitch (Anahata Sound), can turn a Darbha (Grass Blade) into a Brahmastra! Only the Guru teaches the right desciple the way to invoke Gayatri into running a Brahma missile. Otherwise any tom dick and harry who knows Gayatri mantra could have played with Brahmastra. Thank God for not disclosing the key to everyone, otherwise the world would have become a grave yard long back!!

Brahmastra in Metaphysical plane:-


Till now we have discussed about Brahmastra in it's real and true form. But let's correlate this to our inner self and see what ebenfit we achieve if we release the Brahmastra present in our own body.
There are two planes, 

  1. Physical
  2. Meta-Physical
In physical plane if we understand Brahmastra then it's a weapon of mass destruction. We have discussed this above. In Meta-Physical plane we can assume Brahmastra as the Kundalini Serpent power. This Brahmastra is located within the 'Mooladhara Chakra/Base shell' of our body situated near the Anus.

When a sadhaka (Warrior) meditates and raises his Kundalini, his kundalini (Read Brahmastra here in this context), derives energy from his base chakra (Mooladhara) and propels upwards. On its way, it penetrates through 5 other chakras deriving energies from them at every stage. Finally it hits the target-Crown chakra (Sahasrara) and explodes there with a brilliance. That explosion annihilates all "Illusion/Maya", and leaves the sadhaka with the debris called as "Aham Brahmasmi" feeling.

So, everyone should yearn for pocessing and releasing one's inner Brahmastra but the Brahmastra in physical world should always be in the hands of right people!

GURU/TEACHER

Upanishad Ganga's photo.The concept of the Guru can be traced back to the ancient Vedic periods; in the Upanishads, the teacher is presented at being indispensable to Self-knowledge. Other traditions also emphasise the need for a teacher for those who wish to advance spiritually. The names for teachers are different- spiritual director in Christianity, tzaddik in Judaism, startsy in the Russian Orthodox tradition, and mu...rshid in Sufism. All these guides perform the same task; namely, leading the souls in their care to the place they themselves have reached.

People often wish to know 'How does one choose a Guru?' It is not a question of the disciple selecting the Guru. The disciple gravitates towards a Guru, and will find the Guru he needs for his present state of mental development. In the words of Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj, a contemporary sage: “Be the right man and the right guru will surely find you.”

The Upanishads summarise the qualifications of a teacher in two terms: Shrotriya (one who is a master of the scriptures) and Brahmanishtha (one who is well established in the experiences of Truth). Without the knowledge of the scriptures, the teacher will not be able to convey his wisdom to the disciples. But a mere book-knowledge is not sufficient. The words coming from an individual can gather wings only when they spring from a heart soaked with sincere subjective experience.

However, to be a preceptor, one must have two more qualifications. His behaviour in the world must be perfect, as his students will be tempted to imitate him in all his external habits. If his behaviour is not perfect, it is possible that students will copy his bad habits and thus ruin themselves. Secondly, a preceptor must have large-heartedness flowing with kindness and patience. This is necessary since in the early stages the students will revolt against new concepts that conflict with their present understanding. To weed out the mind and to replant new ideas is a most painful operation and this can be achieved only when the teacher has infinite patience, endless love and supreme affection
It is clear that no amount of enquiring into or discussing with a Teacher is of any avail unless the student has taken enough time to tune himself up to the Teacher. Spirituality is not something that we can start discussing and arguing among ourselves to while away an idle hour. It is to be understood in an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity – for this understanding is an attempt at comprehendi...ng the deep experiences of the Master expressed not so much through his words.

Therefore, Shri Adi Shankaracharya, in his composition 'Vivekachoodamani' explains that a seeker should approach the Teacher and learn, first of all, to love him, trust him and later on, through love-inspired acts of service, become receptive and establish a rapport filled with reverence. Thus, Vedanta is almost over-emphasising the method of approaching the Teacher.

तमाराध्य गुरुं भक्त्या प्रह् वप्रश्रयसेवनैः।
प्रसन्नं तमनुप्राप्य पृच्छेज्ज्ञातव्यमात्मनः॥ [- विवेकचूडामणि ३४]
tamārādhya guruṁ bhaktyā prahvapraśrayasevanaiḥ,
prasannaṁ tamanuprāpya pṛcchejjñātavyamātmanaḥ. [- Vivekacūḍāmaṇi 34]

Worshipping that Guru with deep devotion, when he is pleased with your surrender, humility and service, approach him and ask him to explain what you must know.

These days, unfortunately, we find seekers who think nothing of calling the Teacher over the phone to enquire from the Teacher about the goal of life, the path, the means and so on. Such telephone-tuition is not possible in spirituality and the seeker of a spiritual life and religious truths should approach the Master in an attitude of reverence and surrender.
 
A young seeker once questioned Swami Chinmayananda: 'Whatever you teach is there in the books. What do I need a Guru for?' Swamiji replied: “Why don't you ask this question to the books?' The very fact that we have such questions such as th...e one asked by the young seeker indicate that we need teachers to teach us. Is there anything we do well, with confidence, or mastery if it has not been taught to us? If, for every perfect act in the world we need the guidance of an instructor, we can well understand the need for a guru on the spiritual path. On this path we have to deal with the subtlest forces and enormous confusions of the vehicle called the mind with its varied moods and delusions! Today – the full moon day in the month of Ashada as per the Hindu calendar, is Guru Purnima – a day of veneration to the Guru. Followers of Buddhism also celebrate this day in honour of Lord Buddha who gave his first sermon at Sarnath on this day. Hindus celebrate this day as Vyasa Purnima, as not only was Sage Veda Vyasa born on this day, but is also said to have commenced the great work, Brahmasutras, on this day. For those who wish to express their reverence and offer prostrations to Sage Veda Vyasa, These are the 108 names of Sage Veda Vyasa (श्री वेद व्यास अष्टोत्तरशत-नामावलिः) which may be chanted by setting aside 10 minutes today:
 
The 'secret' technique of getting freed from the ahamkara – the ego, the sense of doer ship and enjoyer ship is shared by Lord Krishna in the following verse of the Bhagvad Geeta:

यत्करोषि यदश्नासि यज्जुहोषि ददासि यत्।
यत्तपस्यसि कौन्तेय तत्कुरुष्व मदर्पणम्॥ [- भगवद् गीता ९.२७]

yatkaroṣi yadaśnāsi yajjuhoṣi dadāsi yat,
yattapasyasi kaunteya tatkuruṣva madarpaṇam. [- Bhagavad Gītā 9.27]

Whatever... you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever you give, whatever you practise as austerity, O Kaunteya (Arjuna), do it as an offering to Me.

The seeker is assured of attaining the supreme Self by living in the pure spirit of dedicated offering. When actions are undertaken without ego, the reactions of those actions cannot add to the impressions on the mind. It is the ego that acts and it is the ego that receives the reactions. Since existing impressions get wiped out during the mind's activities in the world; slowly and steadily the mind gets almost a total purgation of all impressions. In short, the mind becomes more and more purified (in the scriptural sense) – and a purified mind has more concentration and single-pointedness.
The teachings of Chanakya have the unique distinction of being principles which have been used successfully to achieve good results on a sustainable basis. Shared below are some foundation principles that Chanakya taught his students - including the well known Emperor Chandragupta:

सा श्रीः वः अव्यात। sā śrīḥ vaḥ avyāta. May that wealth protect you (all). (Invocaion)

सुखस्य मूलं धर्मः। sukhasy...a mūlaṁ dharmaḥ. Basis of happiness is ethics.

धर्मस्य मूलम् अर्थः। dharmasya mūlam arthaḥ. Basis of ethics is resources.

अर्थस्य मूलम् राज्यम्। arthasya mūlam rājyam. Basis of resources is kingdom (enterprise).

राज्यमूलम् इन्द्रियजयः।rājyamūlam indriyajayaḥ. Enterprise is rooted in conquering the (sense) organs.

इन्द्रियहजस्य मूलम् विनयः।indriyahajasya mūlam vinayaḥ. Conquering organs is rooted in humility.

विनयस्य मूलम् वृद्धोपसेवा।vinayasya mūlam vṛddhopasevā. Humility (moral training) is based on serving elders.

वृद्धोपसेवया विज्ञानम्।vṛddhopasevayā vijñānam. Worldly knowledge through serving with the learned.

विज्ञानेन आत्मानम् संपादयेत्।vijñānena ātmānam saṁpādayet. Equip yourself fully with worldly knowledge.

संपादितात्मा जितात्मा भवति।saṁpāditātmā jitātmā bhavati. One who has acquired knowledge becomes one who has conquered himself.

जितात्मा सर्वार्थैः संयुज्येत।jitātmā sarvārthaiḥ saṁyujyeta. The self-conquered shall endow himself with all resources.

Thus, the basis of all happiness is ethical behaviour – dharma !
 
The three levels of reality are summarised here:

1. प्रातिभासिक सत्ता / prātibhāsika sattā or illusory reality is that which appears for a very short period and then it disappears. For example our dream. This reality ceases to exist once one wakes up from the dream.

2. व्यावहारिक सत्ता / vyāvahārika or transactional reality is that which is perceived and interacted with during our waking s...tate. This entire universe that we experience everyday comes under this category. It seems to be more real than the previous one, and also seems to possess qualities like continuity, cause-effect relationship, doer-work relationship and so on. But all this remains true only until one 'wakes up' to the highest level of reality.

3. पारमार्थिक सत्ता / pāramārthika sattā or Absolute Reality is the changeless reality and is of the nature of existence per se. Not knowing this is called ignorance in the language of Vedanta, and knowing this is called real knowledge. This Absolute Reality is also referred to as Brahman or Atma or Sat-chit-ananda in the Vedantic texts.
 



BHAGWAN,GOD,BRAMHA? WHO IS THYSELF?

Photo: विवेक द्वारा अपने शरीर अथवा पञ्चकोश को देखो। 

viveka dvārā apane śarīra athavā pañcakośa ko dekho.

Observe your body or the five sheaths through discrimination - Bharat in Episode 34In the Mandukya Upanishad's first chapter of the first section, there is a mantra which gives what is said to be the most 'perfect' definition of the Indefinable which is said to be the cause of all creation (Mantra 1.i.6). Thereafter, the rishis explain creation with the example of the spider which projects and withdraws (unto itself) the web; and the herbs and plants that sprout from earth. Havi...ng thus explained creation, the following mantra shares the various stages in the process of Creation:

तपसा चीयते ब्रह्म ततोऽन्नमभिजायते।
अन्नात् प्राणो मनः सत्यं लोकाः कर्मसु चामृतम्॥ [ मुण्डक उपनिषद् १.i.८]

tapasā cīyate brahma tato'nnamabhijāyate,
annāt prāṇo manaḥ satyaṁ lokāḥ karmasu cāmṛtam. [Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad 1.i.8]

In brooding meditation or continuous thought (tapas) , the total creative urge (Lord Brahma) swells (with the very joy of Creation). From Him food is produced, from food the prana, the mind, the bhutas, the worlds and the karmas and their fruits.

The nuances of some of the terms in the above mentioned mantra would need to be understood to get clarity on the sequence of creation.
 
That all of creation has come from the Supreme, has been stated in various ways in different scriptures. In the ninth chapter of the Bhagavad Geeta, Lord Krishna tells Arjuna that He is the cause of all beings. The supreme Lord, 'brings forth and supports all beings', just as the ocean gives birth to, supports and nourishes all the waves in it. However, a doubt may arise in the mind of a student, ...as to how the Supreme is said to be action-less, part less, formless and therefore can be the cause of the entire creation. This seeming contradiction is resolved in the following verse where the Lord tells Arujna that is in the mere presence of the supreme Self, Prakriti, borrows her sanction to plan and to execute, to act and to achieve:

मयाध्यक्षेण प्रकृतिः सूयते सचराचरम्।
हेतुनानेन कौन्तेय जगद्विपरिवर्तते॥ [- भगवद्-गीता ९.१०]

mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram,
hetunānena kaunteya jagadviparivartate. [Bhagavad-gītā 9.10]

Under Me as her supervisor, Prakriti (nature) produces the moving and the unmoving; because of this, O Kaunteya (Arjuna) the world revolves.

Nature here means, the Unmanifest that gets projected as the manifest.
 
Jiva = Sat-Cit-Ananda principle + microcosm conditioning
Jiva – microcosm conditioning = Sat-Cit-Ananda principle

Ishvara = Sat-Cit-Ananda principle + macrocosm conditioning
Ishvara - macrocosm conditioning = Sat-Cit-Ananda principle

The relation between jiva-jagat-Ishvara can also be grasped from the following analogy:

A piece of cloth has some decorative patterns woven into it by the same thread of which the cloth is made. The various patterns form an image of a flower garden. The total concept we gain – that is of a flower garden – is similar to our total concept of the cosmos (jagat). The individual decorative patterns symbolise the individual names and forms of beings (jivas) as well as various inert objects.

What is the essence of the flower garden? Does it have an existence apart from the thread? If we were to remove all the threads, where would the flower garden be? The thread is the symbol of Ishvara in this analogy. But for this Ishvara, there would have been no world (jagat). Thus, the individual jiva and the varied names and forms that constitute the total concept of the world as we see it, are in essence nothing but a pattern fashioned from Ishvara.
In Vedanta, various terms are used to refer to the ignorance of one's true nature. Maya happens to be one of the appellations of ignorance – with its own unique connotation. The term maya indicates 'illusion' and 'magic'. The magician with his magical powers creates the illusion of pigeons flying out of his hat. So too, the all-powerful Lord with his maya creates a magical world wherein the Infini...te seems to be finite and the formless Truth seems to be endowed with forms. This indeed is unfathomable and hence maya is said to be 'अघटित-घटना/aghaṭita-ghaṭanā' which means 'that which makes the impossible possible'.

Another derivation for maya is 'या मा सा माया/yā mā sā māyā' or 'that which is not really there’ – since the ignorance is illusory and hence not really existent.

Two other terms – pradhana and prakriti are also used in Vedanta to describe ignorance.

The cosmos is created out of this maya endowed with three gunas (त्रिगुणात्मिका माया/ triguṇātmikā māyā). Just before creation there is equilibrium between sattva, rajas and tamas. This balance is broken by an upheaval and predominance of rajas and tamas over sattva. Such a break in equilibrium is necessary for the dynamics of creation. Maya loses its quiet stability, and then becomes functional and capable of creation. This state of maya when it is ready for creation is termed 'prakriti'. When there is equilibrium of sattva, rajas and tamas in maya the tendency for creation will be dormant and this state of maya is termed 'pradhana'.
 

WHO AM I,WE,YOU,THEM?

The word veda comes from the root vid, "to know". Veda literally means "the book of knowledge." It is a compendium containing sacred and secular knowledge.
1. Rig Veda: hymns of praise and believed to be the oldest book of knowledge

2. Yajur Veda: special directions and formulas for the preparation and performance of rituals and ceremonies

3. Sama Veda: melodies and songs, with precise intonations and modulations to be changed at rituals and considered the most voluminous of the four Vedas

4. Atharva Veda: mystical formulas which paved the way for modern science in India.

Each Veda consists of three sections, namely:

1. Samhitas: The mantra portion, consisting of hymns of praise for Vedic deities

2. Brahmanas: The ritualistic portion, dealing with the methodology of performing Vedic rituals

3. Aranyakas: The contemplative portion.

It must also be understood that this classification is based on the content and not in the sequence of appearance.
...
The Upanishads belongs to Aranyakas.

Bhaja Govindam V.4

नलिनीदलगत जलमतितरलं

विद्धि व्याध्यभिमानग्रस्तं
लोकं शोकहतं च समस्तम्॥४॥

nalinīdalagata jalamatitaralaṁ

lokaṁ śokahataṁ ca samastam||4||

The water drop playing on a lotus petal has an extremely uncertain existence; so also is life ever unstable. Understand, the very world is consumed by disease and conceit and is riddled with pangs.
______________________________

Life is uncertain; death waiting to take us at any moment. Understanding this we must question the purpose of our life. Why am I here? What is the purpose of my existence?

The world is riddled with pain and sorrow. Yet, we continue to seek for everlasting bliss. We go to great lengths to obtain moments of fleeting joy from this impermanent world, but we never stop to think. Can I obtain permanent joy from something impermanent?

Vivekachoodamani, V.49

को नाम बन्धः कथमेष आगतः
कथं प्रतिष्ठास्य कथं विमोक्षः।
कोऽसावनात्मा परमः क आत्मा
तयोर्विवेकः कथमेतदुच्यताम्॥४९॥
ko nāma bandhaḥ kathameṣa āgataḥ
kathaṁ pratiṣṭhāsya kathaṁ vimokṣaḥ|
ko'sāvanātmā paramaḥ ka ātmā
tayorvivekaḥ kathametaducyatām||49||...

What is bondage? How has it come? How does it continue to exist? How is one freed from it? Who is the non-Self? Who is the Self? And how can one discriminate between them? Do tell me about all these.
_________________________________________

Deep enquiry into oneself and the world around us brings us here. The most pertinent questions of Vedanta are being asked by the student to the teacher.

Will these answers leave me questionless? Will this search for the truth give my life relevance? Will I attain that ultimate peace and happiness?

Stay with us as we continue our journey to the Truth

Atma Bodha, V.6

संसारः स्वप्नतुल्यो हि रागद्वेषादिसङ्कुलः।
स्वकाले सत्यवद्भाति प्रबोधे सत्यसद्भवेत्॥६॥
saṁsāraḥ svapnatulyo hi rāgadveṣādisaṅkulaḥ|
svakāle satyavadbhāti prabodhe satyasadbhavet

This world, which is full of attachments and aversions is like a dream. It appears to be real, as long as it continues but is unreal when one is awake.
---------------------
...
The world is full of change. No object ever remains the same. This is the nature of the world. Yet, we attempt to look for permanent happiness in this impermanent world. Alas, the greatest contradiction of our life!

Take a closer look. Is the world the ultimate reality? Is there something beyond what meets the eye?

Praśnopaniṣad V. 1.3

अथ कबन्धी कात्यायन उपेत्य पप्रच्छ भगवन्कुतो ह वा इमाः प्रजाः प्रजायन्त इति
प्रश्नोपनिषद् १.३
atha kabandhī kātyāyana upetya papraccha bhagavankuto ha vā imāḥ prajāḥ prajāyanta iti

Then Katyayana Kabandhin having approached (Pippalada) asked him, 'Venerable Sir, from where are these creatures born?'

_______________________

Here, the student is enquiring about the origin of all living beings. Why is it important to know our origin? How can this information help us?


Bhaja Govindam V. 23

कस्त्वं कोऽहं कुत आयातः
का मे जननी को मे तातः।
इति परिभावय सर्वमसारम्

kastvaṁ ko'haṁ kuta āyātaḥ
kā me jananī ko me tātaḥ|
iti paribhāvaya sarvamasāram...
viśvaṁ tyaktvā svapna vicāram

Who are you? Who am I? From where did I come? Who is my mother? Who is my father? Thus enquire, leaving aside the entire world of experience, essenceless and a mere dreamland, born of imagination.

'Enquire the source from which we must have risen. Let us not take things for granted. Let us make use of our rational intellect. Enquire wherefrom we have come and where we are bound to- whence? And whither? 'Who are you? Who am I? Where have we come from? Who is really my mother? Who is father?' ... Such enquiries will reveal not only the hollowness of the world of names and forms of endless bewitching enchantments, but will also reveal the empty vanities of the life we now live.'

- Pujya Swami Chinmayananda , Bhaja Govindam Commentary V.23

Shri Adi Shankaracharya is the finest spokesperson the world has produced for Advaita Vedanta. It is his work that restored Advaita Vedanta in the echelons of World philosophy. The vibrancy he brought to Advaita has been picked up by many s...aints in the centuries after him. Naturally there are many biographies of the Acharya.

Adi Shankara: Finite to the Infinite is a picturesque narrative that closely follows Swami Vidyaranya's Shankara-digvijaya. It is a monograph on the life, travels and works of Acharya Shankaracharya. The presentation is lucid, very often poetical and gives us a vivid picture of the young sannyasi moving from place to place. What emerges in the end is an inspiring figure of an intrepid scholar, an illustrious teacher, a visionary administrator, and a superb poet. Certainly, we have in Adi Shankaracharya's personality the much needed motivation for the youth of today who are building the new India!

 The Śivasūtraṇi (शिवसूत्राणि), also referred to as the Māheśvara sutras (माहेश्वर सूत्राणि) are fourteen mnemonic verses which encode the organization of the alphabet of the Sanskrit language. They have been referred to in th...e Aṣṭādhyāyī of Pāṇini, which is the foundational text of Sanskrit grammar. They and are called by this name as they are said to have been revealed to Pāṇini by Śiva (also known as Māheśvara) through the Tāṇḍava (ताण्डव) dance.

नृत्तावसाने नटराजराजो ननाद ढक्कां नवपञ्चवारम्।
उद्धर्त्तुकामो सनकादिसिद्धादिनेतद्विमर्शे शिवसूत्रजालम्॥
nṛttāvasāne naṭarājarājo nanāda ḍhakkāṁ navapañcavāram,
uddharttukāmo sanakādisiddhādinetadvimarśe śivasūtrajālam.

At the end of His Cosmic Dance, Śiva, the Lord of Dance, with a view to bless the sages Sanaka and so on, played on His ḍamarū fourteen times, from which emerged the fourteen sūtras, popularly known as Śivasūtras or Māheśvara sutras.

Based on Episodes 45 and 46, which explains that sadhana (spiritual practices) is required for gaining Self-knowledge, we may conclude that two things are required - purity of mind and clarity in intellect. It is important to understand th...at with a lack of spiritual discipline (or discipline in any field) one will not be able to excel, let alone progress in that field. An undisciplined mind drives the individual to the field of sense objects so that it is never available for the Higher. But as one develops restraint over ones senses, one can 'call back' the mind whenever it wanders away to the sense fields. At the same time the intellect has to distinguish between the ephemeral objects of the world and the eternal Principle of Life. Thus, the emphasis on niddhidhyasana, which leads to a subtle discrimination. The purity and clarity render the human mind and intellect integrated for the pilgrimage to the Truth.

Shared is a pictorial explanation how the integrated mind and intellect can help one attain the Truth:

Yoga Vasishtha is a text in which the way of reaching the Truth is taught by Kula Guru Rishi Vasishtha to Shri Rama (in this instance, symbolising the ideal student). Analysing the nature of the mind and the vasanas therein, Sage Vasishtha states the following:

द्विविधो वासनाव्यूहः शुभश्चैवाशुभश्च ते।
वासनौघेन शुद्धेन तत्र चेदपनीयसे॥ [ योग वसिष्ठ सार संग्रह २.४]

dvividho vāsanāvyūhaḥ śubhaścaivā...śubhaśca te,
vāsanaughena śuddhena tatra cedapanīyase. [ Yoga Vasiṣṭha sāra saṁgraha 2.4]

तत्क्रमेण शुभेनैव पदं प्राप्स्यसि शाश्वतम्।
अथ चेदशुभो भावो यत्नात् जेतव्य एव सः॥ [ योग वसिष्ठ सार संग्रह २.५]

tatkrameṇa śubhenaiva padaṁ prāpsyasi śāśvatam,
atha cedaśubho bhāvo yatnāt jetavya eva saḥ. [ Yoga Vasiṣṭha sāra saṁgraha 2.5]

शुभाशुभाभ्यां मार्गाभ्यां वहन्ती वासनासरित्।
पौरुषेण प्रयत्नेन योजनीया शुभे पथि॥ [ योग वसिष्ठ सार संग्रह २.६]

śubhāśubhābhyāṁ mārgābhyāṁ vahantī vāsanāsarit,
pauruṣeṇa prayatnena yojanīyā śubhe pathi. [ Yoga Vasiṣṭha sāra saṁgraha 2.6]

Your vasanas are of two kinds – good (auspicious) and bad (inauspicious). If you are led by the stream of pure vasanas, then you will gradually reach the eternal Abode. However, if the disposition of the mind is bad then it should be conquered by effort. (2.5 & 2.6)
The river of vasanas flowing through good and bad channels should be directed to the good channel by great effort. (2.7)

Thus, it is by becoming aware of one's inherent tendencies that any change can be brought about. Subsequently, by consciously following good promptings, their forces increase. Some of the ways in which we can work on purifying / changing our vasanas are: being intellectually alert to recognise vasanas; analysis (how thoughts come to us, what sustains them, what aggravates them, what stops them); substituting negative thoughts (vasanas) by positive ones; outgrowing vasanas and also by observing terrible consequences of bad tendencies in others.

(Please note: Yoga Vasishtha is a voluminous book of 32000 verses. This has been abridged to 86 verses by Swami Tejomayananda in a text titled 'Yoga Vasishtha Sara Sangraha'. The verse numbers shared above are based on this text and not the complete Yoga Vasishtha text).
The three gunas (sattva, rajas and tamas) and their expressions are described in some detail in texts like the Bhagavad Geeta and Vivekachoodamani. This has been done so that, we as seekers of cultural expression and growth, are to take warning and strive to raise ourselves into the sattvika guna, if we find ourselves to be predominantly tamasic or rajasic. It is important to remember that the des...cription of gunas is not to classify others! They are shared to provide us a ready-reckoner to help in our constant and daily self analysis and self-discipline.

Lord Krishna tells Arjuna in the concluding chapter of the Bhagavad Geeta that no living organism in the world, 'no creature either on earth or even among the Gods in heaven,' is totally free from the influence of these three gunas. No living creature can act or work beyond the frontiers provided by these three gunas. Nature (Prakriti) itself is constituted by these three gunas; actually, the play of these three gunas is the very expression of Prakriti.

न तदस्ति पृथिव्यां वा दिवि देवेषु वा पुनः ।
सत्त्वं प्रकृतिजैर्मुक्तं यदेभिः स्यात्त्रिभिर्गुणैः ॥ [ भगवद्-गीता १८.४०]

na tadasti pṛthivyāṁ vā divi deveṣu vā punaḥ,
sattvaṁ prakṛtijairmuktaṁ yadebhiḥ syāttribhirguṇaiḥ. [ Bhagavad Gītā 18.40]

There is no being on earth, or again in the heavens among the Devas (heavenly beings); who is totally liberated from the three qualities, born of Prakriti (matter).

पृथ्वी की गुरुत्वाकर्षण शक्ति

आजकल हम कहते हैं कि न्यूटन ने ही सर्वप्रथम गुरुत्वाकर्षण की खोज की, परन्तु उसके कई वर्षों पूर्व भास्कराचार्य ने पृथ्वी की गुरुत्वाकर्षण शक्ति को विस्तार में समझा दिया था। हमारी शिक्षा प्रणाली तो इस तथ्य को गर्व से नहीं सिखाती, तो क्या हम भी अपने पूर्वजों के ज्ञान से मुख मोड़ लेंगे? हम Newton सरीके वैज्ञानिकों के योगदान को कम नहीं आँक रहे हैं, अपितु आपको अपनी वैज्ञानिक संपदा के प्रति सचेत कर रहे हैं जो आज कहीं खो सी गयी है| हो सकता है अन्तोगत्वा हम जिन प्रश्नों के उत्तर ढूंढ रहे है वा ढूँढेगे उन्हें हमारे मह्रिषियों ने पहले से ही लिख रखा हो?

STOLEN WEALTH OF INDIA DURING BRITISH RULE

The Stolen Wealth of India During British Rule : S Gurumurthy

 ----------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone knows the history of India. But not all knows how much wealth it gave to this world. I don’t mean the literature and culture it taught to this world. I mean the real wealth, the money, the gold and diamonds stolen, looted by the British rulers, when they ruled India for nearly 200 years.

During the mid of 1770’s, the western countries, espec...ially Britain had Industrial revolution and it was completely financed by the money looted from India. Even William Digby and British historian agreed that without the “Venture Capital” which was looted from Bengal, the Industrial Revolution might not have happened. In 1757, the Battle of Plassey happened among the King of Bengal and British rulers. But Robert Clive defeated the effort of evicting the British rule. During this battle, Bengal got looted completely.

The looted money and wealth were then showered in the industrial revolution, which helped in the inventions like “The spinning Jenny” in the year 1764, “The water Frame”, a machine to spin cotton threads in the year 1769, “The Steam Engine” in the year 1785 and a lot more.

Apart from financing the British people to develop their inventions and economy, the wealth of India also helped Americans also to grow economically. During 19th century, USA levied heavy and stiff tariffs on any goods that are imported from Britain. Since Britain didn’t have any problem for wealth and money, as it was flowing from India, which they absorbed completely. So they didn’t care about the high taxes. So, the prosperity of India was shared with America also by the British rulers.

One more Englishman mentioned in his note about India, “Even after sucking the entire wealth of India, our government is still giving more sufferings to the people of India by forcing them to by their products like dresses which they wove by the inventions sponsored by Indian money. How people of hot country can wear a dress woven for a cold country like England?” and so on…

Anglophiles’ note of apology says “British colonial rule in India was the organized banditry that financed England’s Industrial Revolution”. The British rulers even took over the technology of India, along with money. Will Durant, an American Historian mentioned in his note “India was flourishing in Ship building besides the expertise of making steel and textiles. But all got ruined when British took over those technologies”.

Only few knows that the birth place of the world famous Kohinoor diamond (which means Mountain of Light), which is currently a part of the Royal British Crown Jewels, is India. This 105 carat diamond was the largest one at that time and it was kept by various Mughal Emperors. But it was later looted by the East Indian Company, which was then gifted to Queen Victoria when she was declared as “Empress of India” in the year 1877.

Roughly it has been estimated as 1.8 Trillion Dollars of money that was looted by the British rulers in that 200 years of brutal ruling of India, apart from some other wealth like gold, diamonds and raw materials which got transported out of India in around 700 Ships and made India from a Developed Nation to a “Third World Country“.

That, Freedom Movement is still yet to be WON.

TRUTH OF ORIGIN OF CASTE SYSTEM IN INDIA



The Betrayal : Truth of Origin of Caste system in India 
 
 

 -------------------------------------------------------------
There were no castes in Hinduism, only Job trades which were chosen by people suited to what they could achieve.
The word caste comes from Europe not India, in fact the word caste comes from the Portuguese word "castas" and the Portuguese got it from the Latin word "Castus" which mean (race).
The words "Caste" and "Dalit", were the creation of European... Christian Missionaries in Europe. The term "Dalit" was created in Scottish Christian missionary school in around 1835 AD, and their number were made to grow more, under the exploitations by Britishers via colonialism.

Our Hindu scriptures are not written in either English, or Portuguese or Latin, they all are written in Sanskrit and the word seen in the scriptures is (((Varna))). The word Varna translated into English means "sort into natural quality's".
-------------------------------
If India was noted to be as "Rich" by the Portuguese, the Greeks, the Muslim rulers and now even the British, then how the hell did we become poor and why the hell these these foreigners invaded India? and Can we Indians expect a true version of Indian Ancient history written by our Invaders and their System to Govern and loot us?? How come European wealth rose from ZERO to trillion of tons of Gold and Diamonds??

Well look no further then on the queen of England's head and around her neck, Diamonds are not found in England, they are found in India, Rubies are not found in England they are found in India, Sapphires are not found in Europe they are found in India, Emeralds are not found in England they are found in India!! Moreover, India alone had the world's 70% of Gold before Invasions

All these stones dripping from the royal families of Europe and no one has figured it out yet !!!

OPEN YOUR EYES!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Every Hindu needs to understand that caste system is not by birth and should reject it completely.

In Ancient India two great Rishi's, one was "Rishi Bhrigu" and other was "Rishi Bhardwaj", met to discuss how to structure a stable society. Then "Rishi Brigu" said there are four sources of power in a society and we must ensure that nobody has more than one of that. The four sources are 1. Knowledge, 2. Weapons, 3. Wealth, 4. Land. These should not be in one hand, not even two should be in one hand. So those who has knowledge will not have wealth, will not have weapons and will not have lands. Those who will have weapons will rule the country but they will not make policy. They need to go to people having knowledge to seek their permission and advice. Those who are having wealth, their social status will be decided by the how much philanthropy they do not by their wealth. Those who has lands have to produce for the society. In fact none of these four category or "varna" was based on by birth.

"Ved Vyasha" who was a Maharishi, who wrote the "Mahabharat". His mother was a fisher women. Maharishi "Valmiki" who wrote the "Ramayan" was considered as child of a Dalit women. 'Kalidasha" who is the greatest poet our country has produced, was a Hunter. "Rishi Vishwamitra" who was considered as Rishi of Rishi was born in "Kshatriya" family. It proves that Hindu Dharma does have have "varna" or "caste' on the basis of Birth. The Ravana was a "Brahmin" whom no Hindu worship. So every Hindu needs to understand that caste system is not by birth and should reject it completely.
