REVIEW OF SANSKRIT LESSON-1

नास्ति विद्यासमो बन्धुःनास्ति विद्यासमः सहृत् ।नास्ति विद्यासमं वित्तम्नास्ति विद्यासमं सुखम् ॥
There is no kin equivalent to knowledge.There is no friend equivalent to knowledge.There is no wealth equivalent to knowledge.There is no happiness equivalent to knowledge.
कामधेनुगुणा विद्याह्यकाले फलदायिनी ।प्रवासे मातृसदृशीविद्या गुप्तं धनं स्मृतम् ॥
- चाणक्यनीतिः
Knowledge has the quality of Kamadhenu, which grants all wishes of a true seeker. It is useful at all times. When in a foreign land, our knowledge takes care of us like a mother. Knowledge is aptly believed to be a secret wealth.
अजरामरवत्प्राज्ञोविद्यामर्थञ्च चिन्तयेत् ।गृहीत इव केशेषुमृत्युना धर्ममाचरेत् ॥
- हितोपदेशः
A wise person should pursue knowledge and wealth as if he was to live young forever। He should practice moral principles as if death has grabbed him by his hair.


सुखार्थी चेत्त्यजेतविद्याम्विद्यार्थी चेत्त्यजेतसुखम् ।सुखार्थिनः कुतो विद्याकुतो विद्यार्थिनः सुखम् ॥
One who delights in material wealth sacrifices education।One who desires to gain knowledge gives up luxuries.How can someone seeking lavish life gain knowledge?How can someone seeking knowledge lead a luxurious life?


विदेशेषु धनं विद्याव्यसनेषु धनं मतिः ।परलोके धनं धर्मःशीलं सर्वत्र वै धनम् ॥
One's knowledge is his wealth when in a foreign country.One's intelligence is his wealth when in adversity.One's righteousness is his wealth in the netherworld.One's character is a wealth everywhere and at all times.


जयतु संस्कृतं !
प्रथमं वयं स्व-परिचयं वदामः
यथा -मम नाम भूपेन्द्रः
भवतः नाम किम् ?
मम नाम -----------
भवत्याः नाम किम् ?
मम नाम ---------
(भवतः पुरूष के लिए ,भवत्याः स्त्री के लिए )

SANATAN, VEDIC DHARMA

Photo: HOW IS SANATAN DHARMA (HINDUISM ) DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RELIGIONS ?

Open source religion :: If Wikipedia is an encyclopedia then Hinduism is a religion .Here religious democracy is practiced religiously. It absorbs everything, there are regular moderations, revolutions, induction of local beliefs and deities .

No one God but one God :: It's not a polytheistic religion where Ares will get angry if you pray Hercules. Hanuman will be as happy as Ganesha whether you worship him or not. But every Hindu tries to stick to a God that suits him, so in the end its one God.

No one prophet but hundreds :: We have seven Rishis, after them hundreds of other Revolutionary saints and philosophers. Each one of them belong to a school of thought and everyone has a following.

No single philosophy or version of reality :: Dvaita, advaita, samkhya, yoga, nyaya, vaisheshika, vishista-advaita, bauddha, jain and sikh. Choose whichever pleases you .

No single book to follow :: follow bhagavad gita or ashtavakra gita, follow veda or just vedanta. Follow samkhya karika or brihadaranyaka upanishad. Anything and everything is open to you. Read, explore and enjoy.

Science is Religion and Religion is science :: Not every school of thought is creationist in Hinduism. Samkhya propounds creation of being from non-being. Those scientists who invented surgery, ayurveda, number system, explored astronomical objects were devout Hindus not necessarily believing in a personal God.

Yes to Evolution :: every soul has to pass through 8,400,000 lifetimes in various species to get human form. Layman or poetic way to express evolution.

Vedas :: They are not word of any personal God, but are apaurushya, they are not concieved by one prophet but clans of prophets. They are universal sounds "shabda" and no single man can claim authority over them. Since they are the eternal truth and eternal truth is very difficult to get. Very truly vedas are as mysterious as the truth itself.

Treat God like Human :: Idols are human-like or anthropomorphic or just animals. Each day Idols are offered the food and dressed with new dresses. Festivals are for us and for the idols as well.

No proselytization :: One of the few religions in which proselytization/conversion is not a part of spiritual diet. No forced conversions. Because forcing itself defeats the concept of open source Sanatan Dharma.

Absorb and learn from others :: Islam came, christianity came and so did jews and parsis and mingled with Sanatana Dharma. Religious sharing at its best. Sufism could only flourish in India because here Idolatry can be practiced But sufism told native Indians about love and they started doing Bhakti.

Hinduism is the religion that could rightly capture the infinitude of universe and the value each human holds in this vast scheme.HOW IS SANATAN DHARMA (HINDUISM ) DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RELIGIONS ?

HINDUISM IN AUSTRALIA

As per the 2012 census, Vedic Hinduism has become the fastest growing religion in Australia.There are more than 200,000 Hindus. ISKCON has been playing a great role in spreading Vedic Sanatana Dharma.

Here is the link to a video showing functioning of a ISKCON run school "Govardhana Gurukula".

 

ELLORA TEMPLE-KAILASH TEMPLE

Photo: Kailash Temple, Ellora cave temple complex

It is a megalith carved out of one single black granite rock. It is estimated that about 400,000 tons of rocks was scooped out over years to construct this monolithic structure. It was built in the 8th century by the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I .
The Kailash Temple is notable for its vertical excavation—carvers started at the top of the original rock, and excavated downward, exhuming the temple out of the existing rock. The traditional methods were rigidly followed by the master architect which could not have been achieved by excavating from the front.Kailash Temple, Ellora cave temple complex

                                " SHARE IF YOU CARE "

SHRI RAMA AND THE HISTORY OF RAMAYANA …..MORE THAN A MILLION YEARS OLD …. AS RAMAYANA SAYS RAVANA’S CASTLE WAS GAURDED BY FOUR TUSKED ELEPHANTS …..
Four-tusked Trilophodon lived from the Miocene epoch (26 million years ago) to the Pleistocene epoch (2 million years ago) in Eurasia, Africa, and North America.

From today’s scientific point of evolution of animals in accordance with the geological eras go back to millions of years back. How, then such description could be found in Valmiki Ramayana?
The antiquity of Valmiki Ramayana, there has been specific references and description about certain strange animals as found in Sundarakandam is as follows:

1. The grand palace of Ravana was protected by many strange fierce animals.
2. Certain characteristic that horses were neighing.
3. There were many elephants and they had four tusks.
4. Protected by fat animals and birds.
5. The palace was protected by four tusked elephants and as well as three tusked animals. However, three tusked animals are not named.

The first four depictions are in Sundarakanda (4.25-30) and the fifth one also in Sundarakanda (9.5) of Valmiki Ramayana.

The great Hanuman entered secretly Ravana's inner city which was equal to paradise, rendered noisy by neighing of horses and tinkling of ornaments, by chariots, vehicles and aerial-cars and decorated by auspicious elephants and horses and great elephants with four tusks and by birds and animals in heat. It had beautiful entrances and was protected by thousands of rakshasas with great strength.

Thereafter, Hanuman the glorious one neared and observed the best residence of Rakshasas and the house of Ravana, containing elephants with four tusks and also those with three tusks, those with two tusks and still not crowded. It was protected by soldiers bearing raised weapons.

Four-tusked Trilophodon lived from the Miocene epoch (26 million years ago) to the Pleistocene epoch (2 million years ago) in Eurasia, Africa, and North America. Also seen in the Miocene epoch were the downward-curving tusks of Deinotherium. Platybelodon, with its lowered, flattened, shovel-shaped tusks probably used for scooping vegetation from the water, occupied Asia and North America in the late Miocene epoch and the Pliocene epoch (7 million years ago). The largest proboscidean, the Imperial Mammoth, Mammithera imperater, was well adapted to the cold in Eurasia, Africa, and North America during the Pleistocene epoch. Its teeth were much like those of the modern elephant.SHRI RAMA AND THE HISTORY OF RAMAYANA …..MORE THAN A MILLION YEARS OLD ….
