Why should we do Half Pradakshina ( Ardh Parikrama ) of Shivling 🔱🙏

Know Why should we do Half Pradakshina ( Ardh Parikrama ) of Shivling 🔱🙏

एका चण्डा रवेः सप्त तिस्त्रः कार्या विनायके | हरेश्चतस्त्रः कर्तव्याः शिवस्यार्धप्रदक्षिणा ||

It means, that a devotee should perform one pradakshina for Maa Durga, seven for Bhagwan Surya,

Three for Shree Ganesh Ji, Four for Bhagwan Vishnu But for Bhagwan Shiv one should perform only half pradakshina.

According to Shastras and Shivpuran, only half-parikrama must be carried out by the devotees around the Shiv Linga. This practice is justified by explaining that, Shiv is both 'Aadi' & 'Anant'. Aadi means first or beginning and Anant means everlasting. 

Thus, the divine and endless energy (Shakti) flowing from him is represented in the form of ‘Nirmili’ which is the narrow outlet (Gomukhi) from where the milk andwater used for ‘Abhishek’ flows out.

When a devotee does the Pradakshina he should never cross the Shivling's Abhishek water passage which goes through the floor where the pradakshina is performed.

The reason not to cross the water passage is that the‘ Abhishek’ water is considered very sacred and should not be crossed or over-stepped by the devotees.

It's said that Shiva's Shakti is so fierce that no one could ever interfere or come in the line of it. Whoever does it has to face the wrath of Bhagwan Shiv. Hence, the devotee should perform a clockwise pradakshina until he reaches the water passage and then he/she should go for an anticlockwise pradakshina until he reaches the other point of the water passage. 

This way Bhagwan Shiv's one circumambulation is completed.

What is Sashtanga / Ashtang Namaskar ( साष्टाङ्ग / अष्टाङ्ग प्रणाम )And why are Women advised to do “PANCHANG NAMASKAR” only?

1- Sashtanga Namaskaram. 

( स+अष्ट+अङ्ग नमस्कारम )

Salutation with eight Limb (part)

Sashtang = Sa+ Asht + Ang 

Sa means ‘Sahit’ or ‘Yukt’ or ‘with’

Astam means ‘Eight’  

Angam means ‘Parts of the Body’

Namaskaram means ‘Salutation’

Sashtanga / Astang Pranam is a more intense form of salutation done using eight parts of the body.

It is used to express not only reverence but also surrender and allegiance. It is commonly practiced during ritual worship at homes, in temples and in front of spiritual gurus.

Its simple meaning is 

"I am offering my prana (breath or life) to you."What is “Panchanga Namaskar” ?

And why Women should only do the Panchanga Namaskaram 

“धरणी न सहते कामिनी कुचमर्दनम्”

Our Vedic Gurus and Acharyas while making the rule ( According to the Scriptures) that namaskara should be by lowering the body prostrate on the ground,

Salutation rules for men: 

उरसा शिरसा दृष्ट्या मनसा वचसा तथा । 

पद्भ्यां कराभ्यां जानुभ्यां प्रणामोऽष्टाङ्ग उच्यते ॥

Meaning: The bowing with the chest, head, eyes, mind, speech, feet, hands and knees, is called the eight-fold (Eight limbed) salutation

What is “Panchanga Namaskar” ?

And why Women should only do the Panchanga Namaskaram 

“धरणी न सहते कामिनी कुचमर्दनम्”

Our Vedic Gurus and Acharyas while making the rule ( According to the Scriptures) that namaskara should be by lowering the body prostrate on the ground,eschewing every thought of self importance and finding the lowest level with the ground, they duly thought of the Universal Mother aspect (matrutwam/ मातृत्वम) of Parasakthi (Ambal) which is a distinguishing divine principle in women, and took care not to imply any suggestion of lowering its importance. They ruled that the part of the body which sustains the growth of the foetus during pregnancy and the part that creates within itself the nourishment for the new born and feeds it should not beallowed to come in contact with the ground. If the torso should not touch the ground, then the shoulders have to be excluded so that the namaskara can conveniently performed 

Thus, excluding the three angas, in their case it becomes “PANCHANG NAMASKAR”

Salutation for women

This also symbolises the need for women to have a “bending” nature. Bowing down itself means bending and it seems that the namaskara performed by women is real bow down.”

According to the scriptures

ब्राह्मणस्य गुदा शंखं शालग्रामं च पुस्तकम्।

धरणी न सहते कामिनी कुचमर्दनम्।।

It means that a Brahmin should ALWAYS be offered an Aasan/Seat to sit.

Conch shell, Shaligram and Books/Vidya should NEVER be placed on the floor coz they are considered sacred in Hindu Dharm

Lastly, a woman should NEVER be subjugated to the extent of lying prostrate (garbha part of the body shouldn't touch the floor) Mother Earth can't bear the insult to a woman.🙏

🌺क्या काबा में रखा काला पत्थर एक शिवलिंग है जोकि प्राचीनकाल में मक्केश्वर महादेव के नाम से जाना जाता था?🌺- एक विश्लेषण:शिवोपासना न केवल भारतवर्ष में अपितु भारतेतर देशों में अति प्राचीन काल से प्रचलित रही है। दुनिया के कोने-कोने में विद्यमान शिवलिंग इस बात के उदाहरण हैं।

इस्लाम में सर्वाधिक पूजनीय स्थल ‘काबा’ भी इस्लाम से पहले समय का शिवमन्दिर ही है जिसकी घनाकार इमारत के ईशान कोण (उत्तर-पूर्व)में शिवलिंग ही स्थापित है जिसे अरबी में ‘अल्-हज़र-अल्-अस्वद’और फ़ारसी में ‘संग-ए-अस्वद’ अथवा ‘काला पत्थर’ कहा जाता है।

‘संग’ का अर्थ है पत्थर और ‘अस्वद’ का अर्थ है अश्वेत (काला)। उल्लेखनीय है कि वैदिक परम्परानुसार शिव की स्थापना ईशान कोण में ही की जाती है। यदि मुसलमान अपने सबसे पूजनीय काले पत्थर का हिंदुत्व से कोई सम्बन्ध नहीं मानते हैं, तो इसे काबा के... ...ईशान कोण में ही क्यों स्थापित किया गया? क्योंकि इस्लाम में तो प्रत्येक वैदिक मान्यता का विपरीत ही किया जाता है। उल्लेखनीय है कि काबा के ईशान कोण में स्थापित शिवलिंग पर 'ॐ' की आकृति भी स्पष्ट उत्कीर्ण है। संलग्न पहले चित्र को जूम करके देखें।

यदि यह शिवलिंग नहीं है, तो इसपर 'ॐ' क्यों उत्कीर्ण है?

‘अल्-हज़र-अल्-अस्वद’, ‘काबा’ नामक इमारत के अन्तर्गत है और काबा एक विशाल मस्जिद के अन्तर्गत जिसका आधिकारिक नाम ‘अल्-मस्जिद-अल्-हरम’ है। यह मस्जिद मक्का (महाकाय) नगर के बीचोंबीच स्थापित है।

परम्परानुसार और इस्लामी ग्रंथ भी यह स्वीकार करते हैं कि 'मक्का में 360 मन्दिर थे' और बीचोंबीच महान् शिवालय था जिसके अधिपति श्रीमक्केश्वर महादेव थे।

काबा की पूर्वी बाहरी दीवार के कोने में सतह से 1.5 मीटर ऊपर 30 सेमी. (12 इंच) व्यासवाला लाल-काले रंग का यह अति प्राचीन और महान् शिवलिंग चिना हुआ है। अज्ञानतावश सोशल मीडिया पर काले पत्थर के नाम पर बहुत से भिन्न चित्र प्रदर्शित किए जाते हैं।

‘अल्-हज़र-अल्-अस्वद’ (काला पत्थर) को इस्लाम में पवित्रतम वस्तु माना जाता है। दुनियाभर के मुसलमान इसी पत्थर का दर्शन करने, जितनी बार हो सके, मक्का की यात्रा करते हैं। यही कारण है कि इस्लाम में शिवलिंग को उतना बुरा या अस्पृश्य नहीं मानते जितना अन्य मूर्तियों को मानते हैं।

क्योंकि शिव तो असुरों के लिए भी पूजनीय हैं। एक अवधारणा ये भी है कि काबा असुरों के गुरू शुक्राचार्य का ही मंदिर है क्योंकि शुक्राचार्य को वैदिक संस्कृत में 'काव्य' कहा जाता है और काव्य का अपभ्रंश काबा हुआ है।

भविष्यमहापुराण (प्रतिसर्गपर्व, 3.3.5-27) में इसी शिवलिंग का उल्लेख आया है, जिसे राजा भोज ने पंचगव्य एवं गंगाजल से स्नान कराया था— 

"नृपश्चैव महादेवं मरुस्थलनिवासिनम्। गंगाजलैश्च संस्नाप्य पंचगव्यसमन्वितैः"॥6॥ 

सुप्रसिद्ध यूरोपीय-लेखिका फै़नी पार्क्स (1794-1875) ने लिखा है : ‘हिंदुओं का दावा है कि काबा की दीवार में फँसा पवित्र मक्का के मन्दिर का काला पत्थर महादेव ही है। मुहम्मद ने वहाँ उसकी स्थापना तिरस्कारवश की।

काशीनाथ शास्त्री ने उल्लेख किया है— ‘मुसलमानों के तीर्थ मक्काशरीफ में भी ‘मक्केश्वर’ नामक शिवलिंग का होना शिवलीला ही कहनी पड़ेगी। वहाँ के ज़मज़म नामक कुएँ में भी एक शिवलिंग है, जिसकी पूजा खजूर की पत्तियों से होती है।

(कल्याण शिवोपासनांक), जनवरी, 1993 ई., पृ. 374, प्रकाशक: गीताप्रेस, गोरखपुर) डॉ. ता.रा. उपासनी ने भी उल्लेख किया है कि मक्का में दो शिवलिंग हैं।’ (वही, पृ. 355)

अजर-अश्वेत शिवलिंग का एक बड़ा और चौकोर खण्ड हैदराबाद स्थित ‘मक्का मस्ज़िद’ में भी लगाया गया है।

यह भारत की सबसे पुरानी और दूसरी सबसे बड़ी मस्ज़िद है। इसी शिवलिंग का एक हिस्सा ब्रिटिश म्यूज़ियम, लन्दन में भी सुरक्षित है।

वैदिक-परम्परा है कि जहाँ कहीं भी शिव-मन्दिर हो, वहाँ जलधारा का प्रबन्ध अवश्य होगा, ताकि भक्तों को शिवलिंग पर जलाभिषेक करने में कठिनाई न हो।शिव के शीर्ष पर भी गंगा का अंकन होता है। इन्हीं सब परम्पराओं के अनुसार मक्केश्वर शिवलिंग के समीप ‘ज़मज़म’ नामक एक वापी (कुआँ) है। इसके जल को ‘आब-ए-ज़मज़म’ कहा जाता है। फ़ारसी-शब्द ‘आब’ संस्कृत के ‘आप्’ से उद्भूत है, जिसका अर्थ जल होता है।

राजा भोज ने इसी वापी के जल से महादेव का अभिषेक किया होगा, जिसे भविष्यमहापुराण में ‘गंगाजल’ कहा गया है— 

🌺‘गंगाजलैश्च संस्नाप्य पंचगव्यसमन्वितैः।’🌺

हजयात्री इसे गंगाजल के समान पवित्र मानकर पीते हैं और इसे बोतल में भरकर अपने घरवालों,मित्रों व संबंधियों केलिए लेजाते हैं।

पचास-साठ वर्ष पूर्व यह किंवदन्ति चर्चित रही थी कि यदि कोई हिंदू अपने साथ थोड़ा गंगाजल ले जाकर ज़मज़म वापी में डाल दे (अथवा मक्केश्वर शिवलिंग का अभिषेक कर दे)तो वह स्थान पुनः शिव-मन्दिर का रूप धारण कर लेगा।

शिवलिंग क्या है?

”शिवलिंग”’क्या है ?

लिंग का अर्थ संस्कृत में चिन्ह, प्रतीक होता है।

 

जिस प्रकार पुरुषलिंग का अर्थ हुआ पुरुष का प्रतीक इसी प्रकार स्त्रीलिंग का अर्थ हुआ स्त्री का प्रतीक (अन्यथा स्त्री शब्द के साथ इसे जोड़ने का क्या औचित्य होता?) ठीक वैसे ही शिवलिंग का अर्थ है जो शिव का अंश या प्रतीक है उसे ही शिवलिंग कहा जाता है।

शिवलिंग का अर्थ लिंग या जननांग नहीं होता। दरअसल ये गलतफहमी, जानबूझकर कुछ विशिष्ट श्रेणी के इतिहासकारों और मूर्खों द्वारा भाषा के रूपांतरण ( literal translation) और हमारे पुरातन धर्म ग्रंथों और प्रतीकों की महानता को नष्ट कर दिए जानेब्रह्माण्ड में दो ही चीजें हैं : ऊर्जा और पदार्थ , हमारा शरीर पदार्थ से निर्मित है और आत्मा ऊर्जा है। इसी प्रकार शिव ‘पदार्थ’ और शक्ति ‘ऊर्जा’ का प्रतीक बन कर शिवलिंग कहलाते है।

ब्रह्मांड में उपस्थित समस्त ठोस तथा उर्जा शिवलिंग में निहित है.अर्थात् आकाश स्वयं लिंग है।शिवलिंग वातावरण सहित घूमती धरती (उसका आधार) तथा सारे अनन्त ब्रह्मांड (क्योंकि,ब्रह्मांड गतिमान है) का अक्ष/धुरी ही लिंग है अर्थात एक दिन सब उसी आकाश में समा जायेगा व फिर से एक नयी सरंचना बनेगी।)शून्य,आकाश,अनन्त,ब्रह्मांड और निराकार परमपुरुष का प्रतीक होने से इसे लिंग कहा गया अर्थात जिसका कोई अन्त नहीं है न ही शुरुआत

स्कन्दपुराण में कहा है -

“आकाशं लिंगमित्याहु: पृथ्वी तस्य पीठिका।

आलय: सर्व देवानां लयनार्लिंगमुच्यते ॥”वास्तव में शिवलिंग हमारे ब्रह्मांड की आकृति है. (The universe is a sign of Shiva Lingam.)

शिवलिंग भगवान शिव और देवी शक्ति (पार्वती) का आदि-अनादि एकल रूप है तथा पुरुष और प्रकृति की समानता का प्रतीक भी अर्थात इस संसार में न केवल पुरुष का और न केवल प्रकृति (स्त्री) का वर्चस्व है बल्कि दोनों का समान है। 

शिवलिंग' को 3 रूपों में बांटा गया है

शैव संप्रदाय के अनुसार 'शिवलिंग''परशिव', 'पराशक्ति' और 'परमेश्वर' तीन रूपों में बंटा है। ऊपर वाले भाग को 'परशिव' और बीच वाले हिस्से को 'पराशक्ति' कहते हैं। इन्हीं से मिलकर 'परमेश्वर' का रूप सृजित होता है, जिसका संबंध आत्मा से है।

'शिव का प्रतीक' ‘पराशक्ति’ परिपूर्णता में भगवान शिव का ‘आकार’ है परन्तु ‘परशिव’ परिपूर्णता में वे ‘निराकार’ हैं

परमेश्वर का शाब्दिक अर्थ ‘परम ईश्वर’ है।संपूर्ण ब्रह्मांड की उत्पत्ति का मूल कारण परमेश्वर है

It’s not 33 crore it’s 33 koti devta

It’s not 33 crore it’s 33 koti devta 

33 Crore Gods’ is a completely misinterpreted fact due to wrong translation of Vedic Sanskrit by certain foreign 'scholars'.

The term ‘trayastrimsati koti’ mentioned in Atharva Veda, Yajur Veda, and Satapatha-brahmana, is rightly translated

 https://t.co/SWtZUoiAUIas 33 Gods.

The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2).

According to Vedas there are 33 Gods/Devas.

These Gods are separated in the following pattern : 12 + 11 + 8 + 2.

12 is the number of Adityas, 11 are the number of Rudras, 8 is the number of Vasus, 1 is Prajapati, the Master of Gods, and 1 is the Supreme Ruler who is very powerful.

Names of all 33 Vedic deities:

12 Adityas (personified deities) correspond to the 12 Solar months and represent different attributes of social life. The Vedic sages especially venerated the Adityas and Vedas are full of hymns dedicated to Indra, Agni, Surya, Varun and the like. 

These are:1. Indra/Shakra (eldest and the undoubted leader of other Adityas)

2. Ansh (due share),

3. Aryaman (nobility),

 Surya/Vivasvan (social law),

11. Varun (fate),

12. Vaman (cosmic law).

8 Vasus are attendant deities of Indra and comprise of eight elemental gods that represent the different aspects of Nature. They are:

1. Anil (Wind),

2. Apas (Water),

3. Antariksh/Dyaus (Space),

4. Dhara (Earth),

· 5 names of Śiva – Īśāna (ruler), Tatpuruṣa (that person), Aghora10.

Ātmā (spiritual self)

In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, the 11 Rudras are represented by ten vital energies (rudra-prana) in the body and the eleventh one being the Ātman (the soul)

Navagraha Deepam- Lighting the lamp for Nine Planets

Navagrahas ( Nine Planets) are important deities of the Hindu religion. The cosmic energy we receive contains different energies coming from these celestial bodies.

The Navagraha Deepam (lamp) is lit in the puja room of our house to inspire positive vibrations. 

In this lamp, Surya Dev (the Sun), occupies the center place.

Surya is the source of life in our Solar System and represents the Light of Wisdom who dispels our darkness.and teaches us the art of indulging in the senses.

All of the faces in this lamp can be lit daily to welcome success and happiness. 

Alternately, the lamp can be lit on Saturdays.

When one lights the lamp on Saturday, it is suggested that each of three faces be lit.In the Navagraha Deepam, Surya is surrounded by the other Grahas (planets).

The nine faces of the lamp represent the Navagrahas. The face of Saturn is made of iron to please Shani Dev, who represents the inner strength that is founded in Truth.The lamp is to be placed is such a way so that the face of Saturn points in the West direction.

Diametrically opposite to the face of Shani Dev, is the face for Shukra. Shukra, which is the planet Venus, is the emblem of love and attachment. Shukra is the Guru of the asurasBenefits of Lighting the Respective Deepams on the Corresponding Days* :

Monday: Unnecessary fears will get eliminated. Skin diseases will be cured. State of being without peace of mind due to worries will vanish. Inferiority complex will go away.

Tuesday: Obstacles for marriage, such as marriage getting unduly postponed, will be removed. Other problems in marriage due to Chevvai Dosham (unfavorable planetary influences), or problem due to Ketu, He who presents obstacles, will be eliminated. This day is auspicious for Devi

Stomach problems will be cured. 

Also, it is beneficial to chant or listen to the ‘Aaditya Hridayam’ which is a great hymn associated with Āditya (the Sun God)

The Age of Universe and Brahma

Thread ‘Age of Universe and Brahma’ according to Ancient Vedic texts 🚩

First of all keep this👇🏼in mind- 

‘The life span of d Universe’ is equal to the ‘Age of Brahma’ which is called ‘Maha Kalp’

Now We start our calculations with ‘Large Units of Time’ in ancient Indian texts. https://t.co/QTBDdwP5UA1- Yug 

2- Mahayug 

3- Manvantara 

4- Kalp 

5- Mahakalp (Age of Brahma) 

A ‘MahaYug’ is made up of four sub ‘Yugs’that are distributed in the ratio of 4:3:2:1

Krit (Satya)Yug- 1,728,000 yrs

Treta-Yug - 1.296.000 yrs

Dvapar-Yug - 864,000 yrs

Kali-Yug - 432,000 yrsSo 1 Chatur Yug (Mahayug) = 4.320.000 human yrs this is called “A Yug Cycle”

1000 Chatur Yug (Mahayug) = 1 Kalp

Each 1000 Mahayug (Kalp) is divided between 14 Manus. 

(1000/14 means = 71.42 Mahayug)

Means 1 Manu rules - 71.42 Mahayug.Therefore 1 Manvantara is equals to 71 Mahayug

Hence 1 manavntara = 4320000 x 71 = 306,720,000 human years

Each kalp has 14 manvantaras and 15 manvantara sandhyas ( each manvantara sandhya is equal to length of Krit Yug means 1,728,000 years - manvantara)(Each manvantara is distinguished by the Manu who rules over it, of which we are currently in the seventh manvantara of fourteen, which is ruled by Vaivasvata Manu).

Cos 1 Kalp = 14 manvantaras + 15 manvantara sandhyas

That means 1 Kalp = 14 x 306,720,000 + 15 x 1,728,000 https://t.co/ZiThSzsJTl=4,294,080,000 + 25,920,000 = 4,320,000,000 human years = 4.32 billion year

1 day/ night of Brahma = 1 Kalp

1 day and 1 night (full day) of Brahma = 2 kalp = 2000 Mahayug

( 1 day of Brahma or Kalp is followed by 1 night of Brahma (Pralay)length, and each lasting for ( 1000 X 4320000= 4,320,000,000 years.= 4.32 billion human years)

So one year of Brahma ( Brahma year) is 360 x 2000 Mahayug =720000 Mahayug.

The lifespan of Brahma is 100 Brahma years = 720000 x 100 = 72000000 Mahayug.Coz 1 mahayug = 4320000 human yrs. therefore “Age of Brahma” is = 72000000 X 4320000 = 311,040,000,000,000 human yrs. or 311,040 billion human years. i.e. 311.04 trillion years.

(👆🏼This period is called Mahakalp = The total age of this Universe)The ancient Indian texts say that our Universe is currently in the 1st day of its 51st year of brahma. (Total age of Brahma is 100 brahma years 50 passed ( 1st half) away means 50 are remaining ( 2nd half).. cos we are in the 1st day of 2nd half of brahma)

So in calculation 👇🏼

50 Brahma years passed away means 720000 Mahayug X 50 = 36,000,000 Mahayug

36000000 X 4320000 = 155,520,000,000,000 human years = till now

So current age of Universe is - 155.52 trillion yearsWhen the lifespan of current Brahma is over New Brahma will be created by Bhagwan Vishnu ( Means after eac 100 brahma years. or 311.04 trillion human years new Brahma will be born )

In this day of the Universal scale, we are in the Kaliyuga ofthe 28th Mahayug of the 7th Manvantara. ( keep in mind that each manvanara has 71 Mahayuga.. that means 43 mahayuga are still remaining in this manvantara)

The name of the Universal day is Svetha Varaha Kalp. The name of the Manvantara is ‘Vaivasvata Manvantara.
