SHANKH, TULSI AND SHALIGRAM

TULSI, SHANKH & SHALIGRAM are the 3 things which have very high position in the HINDU culture. The HINDUS worshiped all the three with high regards but very few know about the back grounds of these. The SHANKHCHOUR was an ASUR KING and in previous birth he was the SUDAMA a very close friend of LORD KRISHANA. Due to the SHRAP (curse) of the DEVI RADHA he took birth in the ASUR family, but he was still a very prominent follower of GOD in the present birth and was following the religious path with all faith. Since the ASUR and DEVTA always have a feeling of enmity towards each other so he was against the DEVTAS. He did a very hard meditation to please the GOD BRAHMA and as a result the GOD BRAHMA blessed him with SHRI KISHAN KAVACH and blessed him that only the LORD SHIV will kill him.

On the other hand the TULSI was also doing a very hard meditation to please the GOD BRAHMA and the GOD BRAHMA ask the SHANKHCOUR to contact her and get married with her, GOD BRAHMA also told SHANKHCHOUR about the place where she was doing meditation. Ultimately the SHANKHCHOUR went there and make a proposal to marry her. When she did not accept that then the GOD BRAHMA went there and asked her to marry SHANKH CHOUR and bless her that unless she lost her SATITAV (sexual relationship only with the husband) no body will be able to kill her husband. On the advice of GOD BRAHMA, the TULSI get married with the SHANKHCHOUR and they both started living happily.

Due to enmity with the DEVTAS the SHANKHCHOUR fought with them and defeated them. The DEVTA took a shelter in the unknown caves and the SHANKHCHOUR deprive them of the part of the YAGH given in their name. Otherwise the people were happy in his rule. When a lot of time passed then the DEVTA went to the GOD BRAHMA and GOD VISHNU and told Both of Them about their miserable position. Though the SHANKHCHOUR was ruling properly but he had deprived the DEVTAS from their home the SWARAG (heaven) and this act of his was the violation of the rule of nature or the GOD hence the LORD SHIV decided to kill him and get back the heaven to the DEVTAS the real owner of the SWARAG. The LORD SHIV asked them to go to the GOD RUDHAR who is the part of LORD SHIV and resembles LORD SHIV in all respect and told the GOD BRAHMA, VISHNU and DEVTAS that only GOD RUDHAR will kill SHANKHCHOUR. Then They all came to the GOD RUDHAR and told HIM the facts. The GOD RUDHAR agreed to fight with the SHANKH CHOUR.

Then the LORD SHIV or GOD RUDHAR asked HIS wife DEVI BHADAR KALI HIS sons GOD GANESH AND GOD KARTIK and all HIS followers and the DEVTAS to get ready for the war with the SHANKH CHOUR. Before war the LORD SHIV sent HIS ambassador to advise the SHANKH CHOUR and asked him to return back the SWARAG back to the DEVTAS, but the SHANKH CHOUR did not accepted the advises of the LORD SHIV and ultimately the war started. The war started and continued for a long time and DEVI BHADAR KALI and other followers of LORD SHIV kept on killing the ASURS on the side of the SHANKH CHOUR. But when the LORD SHIV was just going to kill the SHANKH CHOUR then an AKASHVANI took place reminding the LORD SHIV about the blessing of the GOD BRAHMA and also it was mentioned that killing SHANK CHUR without destroying the SATITAV of TULSI will make the blessings of GOD BRAHMA wrong. So the LORD SHIV or GOD RUDHAR did not kill the SHANKH CHOUR at that time and advised the GOD VISHNU to take the necessary steps.

Then the GOD VISHNU changed Him in to a PRIEST and went to the SHANKH CHOUR and asked from him his SHRI KISHAN KAVACH in the donation and the SHANKH CHOUR gave the VISHNU KAVACH as a donation to the GOD VISHNU. Then the GOD VISHNU went to the city of the SHANKH CHOUR and converts Him in to the SHANKH CHOUR and went to the TULSI. Then the TULSI could not distinguish between the real and the duplicate SHANKH CHOUR and had sex with the GOD VISHNU. As a result the SATITAV of the TULSI got destroyed. Then both the blessings of GOD BRAHMA ended and LORD SHIV killed the SHANKH CHOUR.

When the TULSI came to know about this then she got very angry and gave GOD VISHNU a SHRAP(curse) that HE will be converted in to stone. But in the mean time the LORD SHIV came there and advised the TULSI to give up her anger and leave that body and get her converted in to the SUKSHAM SHARIR (minute spiritual body) and go to the BAIKUNTH DHAM along with the GOD VISHNU. She was also blessed that she will remain close to the GOD VISHNU just like the DEVI LAKSHMI and the residual will be converted into the GANDAKI river which will be worshiped as a sacred river and the GOD VISHNU will be symbolically stay there as a stone and will be eaten by the small pesticides which will create a small circle in the stone. This stone will be known and worshiped as the SHALIGRAM. The plant named TULSI will be stayed on the earth and will be worshiped as a sacred plant and will be served in the CHARNAMAT of GOD except in the CHARNAMAT of LORD SHIV. The SHANKH CHOUR was converted in to the SHANKH and was also gave the sacred position in the HINDU religion and the water through the SHANKH is supposed to be the sacred water in all the worships except in the POOJA of LORD SHIV and the SHANKH CHOUR went back to the BAIKUNTH LOK as the SUDAMA.

NAGA SADHUS MAHASHIVRATRI AND KUMBH

The curiosity about the NAGHA SADHUS is there among the whole world. The people from the other religions feel surprised and even some of them goes up to the extent of saying it as uncivilized. But the HINDU sees it as the extreme of the self discipline, sacrifice, tolerance and dedication. It is not easy to live in a nude stage when all others are wearing very attractive cloths. It is not easy to stay nude in such places of harsh winter and summer. It is not easy to control over your sexual excitements, it is not easy to give up all the facilities of the life and stay alone in the hills, caves or ASHRAMS. Though in today’s society we called them as nude but in fact if we see carefully then it can be understand that the nature has not sent us nude and our skin is the cloth which is provided to us as the cloths to cover over body. The center of the skin or the GANTH of the skin is the NABHI. So the NAGHA SADHUS shows that they have no interest in the physical luxuries of the world and like their GOD LORD SHIV they feel that all the luxuries are meaning less and the real luxury is spiritual growth and the real peace is spiritual peace.

They generally stay in the caves of the GIRNAR PARVAT in GUJRAT and came out on MAHASHIV RATRI. On the MAHA SHIVRATRI they came out in the processions and go to the SHIV MANDIR and offered their prayers to LORD SHIV as they follow the path of YOGH and SADHNA told by LORD SHIV to achieve HIM. After the MAHA SHIVRATRI they all went back to the caves in the hill and not seen again in the open till the next MAHASHIVRATRI. Though for the rest of the year the tourist keeps on visiting these hills but they very rarely find any NAGHA SADHUS there in the out. So the NAGHA SADHUS represents the importance of the will power in the HINDU religion.

SHIV & SHIVA ROOP OF THIS UNIVERSE

The life is present in the SHIV AND SHIVA form only. Every male represents the LORD SHIV and every female represents the DEVI SHIVA or the SHAKTI (power). In the beginning of the life the LORD SAMBH SADHA SHIV divided HIM into LORD SHIV and DEVI SHIVA OR PRASHAKTI. With the inspiration of LORD SADHA SHIV the LORD SHIV and DEVI SHIVA OR SHAKTI meet together and give rise to the PRASHAKTI of LORD SHIV. When the LORD SHIV WHO is SHAKTIMAN (owner of the power) activate HIS PRASHAKATI or power then that created the NAAD (sound) from there BINDU (point) came into existence from there the LORD SHIV become visible and from HIM the MAHESHWAR came out and from MAHESHWAR the GODDESS of KNOWELDGE – VIDYA came out. The VIDYA gave rise to the different AKSHAR (digits) and VARANS (in HINDI means some special digits having the voices).and MATRAS (these are used on the top or the back of the digits or words for creating a special sound effect) and is called the VAGAESHWARI or GODDESS of voice.

The complete Universe has JADH (non living things) and CHETAN (life) objects. When the non living things combined with the life and then it becomes APAR (impure) or the living (CHETAN) object. These living objects are found every where in the Universe and are known as CHIDCHIT SWROOP. In this the JADH is impure and CHETAN is pure and are also called the APAR and PAR and LORD SHIV is the owner of both of these and is away from both of these.. In the beginning of the life the LORD SHIV uses HIS powers of ICHAA (desire), KRIYA (action) and GYAN (knowledge). When the LORD SHIV decided with HIS ICHAA SHAKTI or desire that this should happen and this should not happen or we can say that HE differentiates between the RIGHT AND WRONG. Then HE by using the knowledge decided the KARY (work to be done), KARAN (who will do it), KARAN (reason for doing that work by that KARN), and PARYOJAN (purpose solved). With HIS imagine and using HIS power with in seconds the SRISHTI (universe) is created and every living or non living things have their role and duties pre decided in this Universe. Every non living object is known as the SHAR and the life in this is called the ASHAR and the LORD SHIV is the owner of both of these. What ever which can be described is called the VYAKAT and certain things which can not be described but can be felt are called the AVAKT form and LORD SHIV is owner of the both but the later is superior then the previous. The bodies are allotted to the soul according to their birth in the previous KALP.

The power can be seen in lakhs of forms in the UNIVERSE. But in the beginning the PRASHAKTI (nature) gave rise to MOOL PRAKARATI (basic objects needed), MAYA (confusions or attractions towards the physical things) and TRIGUNATAMAK SHAKTI. The MOOL PRAKRATI gives rise to the present form of the nature and MAYA covered that with the KAAL (time), NIYATI (fate), KALA (art of living) and VIDHYA (knowledge). It also gives rise to the TRIGUNATMAK SHAKTI means the three types of GUNS (QUALITIES) named as SATVIK, RAJSI and TAMSI. These further give rise to the TRIGUNESH MURTIES. These TRIGUNATMAK MURTIES give rise to MAHAT (importance or self identification) which creates million of UND (egg) and PIND (jeans) which give rise to living objects in this UNIVERSE. LORD SHIV and DEVI SHIVA control the VISHAW (world) that is why THEY are called the ISHWAR or VISHVESHAWAR. Also since LORD SHIV and DEVI SHIVA or SHAKTI can not be imagined separately and always exist together that is why the world is also called as SHEV and SHAKT form.

The LORD SAMBH SADHA SHIV is the whole sole owner of this universe that is why HE is seen in various ROOPS (forms). Some people see HIM as APAR BRAHMA. APAR means the FIVE MAHA BHOOT (already explained), INDERIYA (already explained), ANTHAKARAN (already explained), JADH PRAKRITI (articles without life) are called the APAR BRAHMA. Some people saw HIM as PAR BRAHM ROOP in CHETANY ROOP (live form). Some see HIM in VYAKAT (describe able) form some see HIM as AVYAKAT (undescribe able) form. Some see HIM as SAMAYSHTI-VYASHTI ROOP means the AVYAKAT is SAMASHTI and the VYAKAT is VYASHTI and HE is the owner of the both. Some see HIM as SHAR means the JADH and ASHAR means the JEEV ATMA and HE is the owner of the both, so, HE is SHARASHAR ROOP. Some see HIM as the VIDHYAVIDHYA ROOP where the VIDHYA means the knowledge and the AVIDHYA means ignorance and HE is the owner of the both. Some see HIM as SAKAR (with certain shape) and some as NIRAKAR (without any shape).

Actually the LORD SHIV has never take birth from any father and mother. HE has no beginning, middle or the end. HE does not hate any body and is not effected with the MAYA or KARAM PHAL. HE need not follow any body’s instructions and it is only HE who decides what is right and what is wrong. HE has not to explain any thing to any one. When every thing got destroyed in this Universe then only HE remains here and all the energies of the universe get merged into HIM. Then again in the beginning of the Universe the GOD BRAHMA is created by HIM and only GOD BRAHMA made this Universe at the order of the LORD SAMBH SADHASHIV. So like that the different scholars see HIM in the different ROOPS (form or shape). The story of ELEPAHANT fits here in which few blinds who were asked to narrate the shape of the ELEPHANT and they described the different shapes as per they their experience.

                               THE STORY OF KUMBH

KUMBH is the one of the most important occasion in the HINDUSTAN. The thousands of saints who remain involved in the meditation for years together in Jungles or Hills come down to take bath on the occasion of KUMBH. It is believed that it is very sacred to take bath in the holy rivers where the KUMBH MELA is taking place. It is also believed that by taking bath on this occasion the human can wash away all its sins. The KUMBH MELA is organized at 4 places in INDIA at the interval of 12 years between the two KUMBS. The 4 places in INDIA are HARIDWAR, UJJAIN, ALLAHABAD and NASIK.

The story behind organizing the KUMBH is that once the King of DEVTAS GOD INDER was moving on His elephant and in the way He met the RISHI DURVASA and as a blessing and gift the RISHI DURVASA gave a garland to GOD INDER. The GOD INDER put that garland on the elephant and that irritate the elephant and due to irritation the elephant threw that garland on the ground. When the RISHI DURVASA saw that the garland is thrown on the earth he gave a SHRAP to the GOD INDER and deprived all the DEVTAS of their strength and power etc.

When the demons came to know about this then they attacked the heaven and pull the DEVTAS out of the heaven and the king of the demons BALI become the king of the UNIVERSE means heaven, earth and PATAAL. Then the DEVTAS went to the GOD VISHNU and requested Him to help them. Then the GOD VISHNU with the help of LORD SHIV organized a meeting between the demons and the DEVTAS and they both decided to do the SAGAN MANTHAN (charring of the sea) to get the holy liquid AMRIT to get the immortality. They make the MANDHRACHAL hill as the rod and VASUKI NAAG as the rope. They put that hill in the sea and wound that with the VASUKI NAAG as the rope and starting rotating that one by one from their side like blowing out butter from the milk. After some time the hill started sinking and then to help that out the GOD VISHNU became a turtle and took the hill on His skin in the bottom of the sea.

Then the HALAHAL the most dangerous poison came out first. That poison was so dangerous that they all feared that poison may not destroy the life in the Universe and they all run to the LORD SHIV to help them. The LORD SHIV after listening to their request just to save life on the earth swallowed that poison but in the mean time the DEVI PARVATI wife of LORD SHIV who was standing there press the neck of the LORD SHIV so that the poison could not enter the stomach of the LORD SHIV and remain stored in the throat of the LORD SHIV and HIS throat become blue for ever and from that day the LORD SHIV is also known as the NEEL KANTH.

Then 12 more things including the DEVI LAXMI, KAMDHENU COW, ERAVAT ELEPHANT, KALP VRIKSH, WINE etc came out and the last among those 13 things in total was the AMRIT the divine liquid which gives the immortality. When the AMRIT came out in a KUMBH (pitcher) then the DEVTA and demons started fighting to drink the AMRIT and they fought for their 12 days and night which are equivalent to the 12 years on the earth.

At last the GOD VISHNU with His power convert Him into a very beautiful woman named MOHINI and the demons forget every thing due to her beauty and started running after her. Then the MOHINI took that pitcher of AMRIT from them and asked them to sit in the line and promised to give AMRIT to all of them. She started giving AMRIT to the DEVTAS first because it was feared that if the demons become immortal then they will be doing atrocities on the others. It was planned that the AMRIT will be given to the DEVTAS only. When the MOHINI was giving AMRIT to the DEVTAS and it was just going to finish then one of the demon known as the RAHU came to know about their trick and warned the demons as a result the MOHINI gave the pitcher to the JAYANT the son of GOD INDER and JAYANT by taking a shape of bird flew towards the heaven but in the mean time four drops of that AMRIT fall down on the earth at HARIDWAR, UJJAIN, ALLAHABAD and NASIK. Then the DEVTAS become immortal and defeated the demons in the war and the demons went back to their place PATAAL.

From that day the KUMBH MELA is organized at these cities one by one after 12 years gap and it is believed that who so ever took bath in these rivers on the dates of KUMBH that person washed away all his/her sins. These MELAS are heavily crowded and the 13 major AKHARAS (groups) of SADHUS (saints) took the bath one by one according to their turn and then the general public can take the bath.

SEX, GOD OF SEX AND HINDU RELIGION

It is a very wrong impression in the mind of the people of this world that the HINDU’S are very conservative about the sex. In fact the sex is a very open topic in the HINDU RELIGION and the importance of sex is always recognized in the HINDU RELIGION. The HINDU’S are very open minded in this matter and the GOD OF SEX- KAAM DEV is as respected in the HINDU RELIGION as any other DEVTA. But the only thing is that in HINDU RELIGION it is also felt that the excess of every thing is bad. So the excess of sex is also dangerous and the over exposure of sex in the public life is also not good and shall be confined to the private life of a man and woman. Perhaps HINDU is the only religion where the sex education is given by the temples also as SUN TEMPLE-KONARK, CAVES OF AJANTA & ELORA & TEMPLES OF KHUJRAO are the examples of this. The History of HINDU religion is as old as the HISTORY of this UNIVERSE. The HINDU religion has all the answer how the UNIVERSE was came in to the existence and WHO is the creator, WHO will run the UNIVERSE and WHO will destroy the UNIVERSE is explained in the HINDU RELIGION (see my previous topic the evolution of earth and universe in the HINDU RELIGION).

. When GOD BRAHMA started creating the SRISHTI and created HIS MANAS PUTR (son) till then the JEEV were created by the cloning. It may be a new concept for other religion but HINDU RELIGION is full of its examples as RAKT BEEJ etc. To start the MAITHUNI SARISHTI God Brahma created His ARDH NARISHWAR ROOP and from HIM created DEVI VAGHA. With Her help God Brahma created MANU and SHATROOPA. Then RISHI Manu got married with the SHATROOPA and started the MAITHUNI SRISHTI (world with intercourse between the opposite sex) and gave birth to two sons PRIYA VART AND UTTAN PADH and three daughter named AAKUTI who was later married to RISHI RUCHI then DEVHUTI who later got married to RISHI KARDAM and third PARSOOTI who got married to RISHI DAKSH and gave birth to so many children who further created the different spices of JEEVS including Human beings. The famous ROOP of DEVI SATI was in the form of daughter of DAKSH who got married with LORD SHIV.

Even today the Hindu’s know their GOTRA to which they belong to and actually shows the RISHI who was the forefather of their VANSH. So, like that the HISTORY OF HINDHU DHARAM cannot be simply discarded by saying MYTHOLOGY since it is very scientific and if the detail of our VEDS, SHASTRAS are studied then the complete family History of any Hindu can be find out. Even today when we go to HARIDWAR we can see our family history and name of our forefathers up to hundred of years perhaps up to the time back when the humans started writing. Similarly how the JEEV started feeling the sex in them is also explained when we study the story of the KAAM DEV – GOD OF SEX. It is also explained that how a certain age was fixed for starting the feeling of sex.

ORIGION OF GOD OF SEX:
Actually when GOD BRAHMA founds that the SRISHTI is not growing as the JEEV created by HIM are not taking interest in creating more JEEVS then HE got worried and thought what to do. Then God BRAHMA created one very handsome, attractive BOY from HIS heart and one very beautiful girl from HIS heart. That girl was called as SANDHYA. That girl was very SATVIK in nature. The boy was very attractive so was called MADAN as He was creating the feeling of sex whenever he goes near to some one so He was called KAAM DEV also. On the other side the girl SANDHYA was very SATVIK and was busy in doing TAPSAYA (meditation). She never took interest in sex, but one day by mistake She got the feeling of sex and for that She got very angry about Herself and decided to do a great TAPASYA as PRAYSHCHIT. She went to forests but She did not know how to do GREAT TAPASYA so She was a bit confused. In the mean time looking at this GOD BRAHMA send HIS son MUNI VASHISHT to teach Her the procedure of doing GREAT TAPASYA. He went there and told SANDHYA how to do the GREAT TAPASYA to make LORD SHIV happy. She accordingly did the GREAT TAPSYA of LORD SHIV for thousands of years. At last LORD SHIV become visible to SANDHYA and asks Her to give her request for any VARDAN (desire). Then She said that JEEV may not feel desire for sex immediately after birth and may get this feeling only after attaining certain age. LORD SHIV agreed to Her request and told Her that from that moment onwards all the JEEV will feel about sex only after attaining the young age. So after that day the JEEV started feeling the desire of sex only after attaining the young age. The concept of creating child by putting mail sperms in the lady uterus is not new to HINDU CULTURE and cloning is also not new as the HINDU RISHI MUNI actually the scientist of that time were able to produce the child from the sweat even. The morning SANDHYA is the time just before the SUNRISE and evening SANDHYA is the time just after the SUNSET. Both the SANDHYA’S are very attractive and are supposed to be the best time to worship.



On the other side KAAM DEV was assigned the duty of creating the desire of sex among the JEEVS and for His marriage MUNI DAKSH created a very beautiful girl child from his sweat and was called RATI and was married to KAAM DEV. From that day the duty of KAAM DEV is to attract the JEEV towards sex to increase the JEEVS so that the SRISHTI could be run. When the DEVI SATI jumped into fire for being HER HUSBAND GOD RUDHAR insulted by HER father DAKSH in a YAGH organized by him. Then GOD RUDHAR got very angry and created VEER BHADAR and sends all HIS GANS AND DEVI CHAMUNDA and other force to destroy the YAGH of DAKSH where the DEVI SATI had immolated alive. They went there and killed or injured all the people present there and even GOD VISHNU was defeated. After ward all the DEVTAS, RISHI MUNIES along with GOD BRAHMA AND GOD VISHNU went to the KAILASH PARVAT and requested GOD RUDHAR to forgive DAKSH and make him alive and let the YAGH be completed. On their humble and repeated request GOD RUDHAR make every body alive who were killed in the war with VEER BHADAR and HIS force. GOD RUDHAR then went to the KAILASH and took a DEEP SAMADHI and got involved in HIS DIVYA ROOP and started HIS YOGH. With the passage of time the DEVI SHIVA took rebirth as DEVI PARVATI and GOD RUDHAR went to the HIMALAYA for meditation. After repeated request from the king HIMVAN the GOD RUDHAR allowed DEVI PARVATI to serve HIM.

In the mean time the an ASUR TARKASUR did a very hard TAPASYA and got the VARDAN from GOD BRAHMA that no body except the SON of GOD RUDHAR would kill him in the UNIVERSE and that ASUR started harassing all the DEVTAS and JEEVS. So just to kill him the DEVTA tried to arrange the marriage of GOD RUDHAR with DEVI PARVATI and for that KING OF SWARAG AND KING OF DEVTA’S INDER called the KAM DEV (GOD OF SEX) and told that being a best friend of him the KAM DEV should help him in killing the TARKASUR. He also said that the DATA KI PEHCAN DURBIKSH ME HOTI HAI (the donor is tested in draught), MITER KI PHECHAN MUSEEBAT ME HOTI HAI (a friend in need is a friend in deed), ISTRI KE KUL KI PECHAN TAB HOTI HAI JAB PATI ASHAY HO JATA HAI (the family background of wife is tested when the husband become disabled). So, I request you to help me. At this KAM DEV happily agreed and asked the task. At this RAJA INDER told that as all the DEVTAS are fed up of the atrocities of the TARKA SUR and none of the person or GOD can kill him except the son of LORD SHIV. As the would be wife of LORD SHIV had taken birth as DEVI PARVATI and is serving GOD RUDHAR so KAM DEV may try to create the feeling of sex in the heart of GOD RUDHAR.

Listening this the KAM DEV agreed and along with his wife RATI & VASANT RITU went to the place where GOD RUDHAR was busy in meditation. From there he started his efforts to evoke the feeling of sex in the heart of LORD SHIV and when the GOD RUDHAR felt disturbance in their mind due to feeling of sex then HE try to find out the reason from HIS DIVYA DRISHTI. Being MAHA YOGI and without any attachment or desire GOD RUHAR when saw KAM DEV was trying to disturb HIM then HE got very angry and a fire broke out from HIS third eye (in between the two eyes) and converted in to a ring of fire. That ring of fire burnt the KAM DEV and convert him in to ashes. Also a great sound was heard. Looking at this all the DEVTA’S got frightened. Looking at this the DEVI PARVATI got frightened and went back to HER palace. In the mean time the wife of KAM DEV, DEVI RATI started crying bitterly and blaming all the DEVTAS for misguiding and using her husband KAM DEV for their purpose. The DEVTAS told her that it is not their fault and all due to HONI. She should not worry and they advise her to keep a little of his ashes and assured her that they all will go to LORD SHIV and request HIM to make KAM DEV alive.

They all along with GOD VISHNU went to the GOD RUDHAR and told HIM that KAM DEV was not guilty and what ever he has done had done on the request of DEVTAS and also told the reason behind their request. Listening this GOD RUDHAR forgive them but told that it is not possible to make the KAM DEV alive and he will be alive in the ROOP of PRADHUMAN when the GOD KRISHAN will come to the earth in DAVAPUR YUG. The PRADHUMAN will become HIS son and will be stolen by the ASUR SHAMBAVAR and that ASUR will throw him in the sea assuming that HE has died. But HE will be alive and will kill that ASUR and marry to DEVI RATI and both will live happily. Then the DEVTAS told that it will be difficult to run the SARISHTI without KAM DEV, then the GOD RUDHAR told that the KAM DEV will stay in the heart of every JEEV permanently and after that LORD SHIV ANTARDHYAN (disappear) from there. Then the DEVI RATI went to the place of SHAMBAVAR waiting for her husband KAM DEV and the DEVTAS went back to their places.

In due course when the GOD RUDHAR’S marriage was organized with DEVI PARVATI and GOD RUDHAR was in a very happy mood then the DEVI RATI (wife of KAAM DEV) requested GOD RUDHAR to alive the KAAM DEV and on her repeated request GOD RUDHAR make the KAAM DEV alive.

So the HINDU RELIGION is the most scientific, oldest in the world and most liberal religion but wants a little discipline and all the misgiving in this regard are baseless and motivated.

SOLAR/LUNAR ECLIPSE, ASTROLOGY & EFFECT ON LIFE

The general tendency among the educated group of people is to criticize all our old traditions and religious books. We have come under the influence of English people who has ruled us for about 200 years and Mughals who has ruled us for about 600 years and has destroyed all our old VED AND SHASTRA’S. Actually the HINDU Religious Books are based on scientific theories and if the so called modern people claim that they can tell us the future eclipses then we can also say that our RISHI, MUNI’S has declared all this in their PANCHANGS thousands of years back. It can not be denied that some ANDH VISHWAS has come due to the illiteracy but it does not mean that all our VED SHASTRA’S were useless. When they knew about the future dates of these eclipses then it is also sure that they did know about the reasons of eclipses. Not only this but they did also know about the effect of these eclipses on the human behavior and special effect on the some groups of human’s as described in the ASTROLOGY.

Actually our forefathers knew that all the planets are linked with the SUN with a magnetic force and also to each other with a magnetic force. These magnetic forces keep on changing with the changing positions of various planets. They did also know about the magnetic field of a human. There main principle of dividing the humans in to 12 RASHI’S is based on the type of magnetic field in the body of a human with respect to the various planets position at the time of birth and there effect on that human body. That positions of the planets hints about the nature of that human and on the basis of those magnetic fields the 12 RAHI’S were divided.

Since the so called modern science has not achieved that level of knowledge that is why just to satisfy their ego they are discarding these facts as mythology. Now some scientist has started saying that the gravitational force of earth changes slightly during the eclipses. Now they are also studying the effect of eclipses on the animals and started accepting that they behave abnormally during the eclipses. Actually the human’s also feel the effects in their body and their behavior but they can control that effect as they have more stable brain then animals. Now some scientist has also accepted that the people having the problem of depression, high blood pressure and other mental or psychological problems behave abnormally during the eclipses. In fact during the eclipse the magnetic field between the SUN, MOON & EARTH disturbed due to their abnormal positions and similarly the magnetic field on the human on the earth also get disturbed and they behave abnormally. The astrology gives the effect of change of magnetic field on the different RASHI’S during eclipses and that gives the tentative effect of eclipses on the human’s of different RASHI’S.

When these eclipses come very frequently and the magnetic fields are disturbed very frequently then the fear of natural calamities always prevail. So all these things are not mythology and we should try to take the help of these VED & SHASTRA to understand the effect of the eclipses on the human behavior and life.

EVOLUTION OF EARTH AND BRAHMAAND (UNIVERSE) IN HINDU RELIGION

On one side the whole world is not sure about the evolution of earth. On the other side they are not ready to accept the findings of Hindu religion where as no other religion is so scientific and old as is the Hindu Religion. That is why it is called SANAATAN (oldest) DHARAM. The Hindu Religion has not only explained about the origin of earth but has given the detail of how this whole BRAHMAND (universe) came into existence. As per Hindu religion when there was no life, no earth, no fire, no water, no sound, no taste nothing was there at that time the owner of this whole energy Lord Shiv was in Nirakar (without any shape) Nirgun (irrespective of any quality or which is not concerned) was in BrahamTatav (basic energy) Roop (form). There was no Sun or Moon or earth or planets or stars. There was only darkness all around. At the time when that ALMIGHTY GOD wanted to create life, then the first thing He has produced from HIMSELF was in a SAKAR ROOP (visible form) who was LORD SHIV. That Divine force took the shape as Lord Shiv which we worship.

Then Lord Shiv created another body from Him and is called Shiva (the female part from within the body) and which is the origin of Shakti (energy), Prakarati (nature), Maya (attractions). That is why LORD SHIV is also called ARDH-NARESHWAR. The Lord Shiv and Shiva decided to create a peace of land to live and that place was called ANAND VAN (land of happiness) and is now a days called as KASHI or VARANASI or BANARAS. This is the land where even today the LORD SHIV along with SHIVA lives and it is believed in Hindu religion that who so ever die in this City will get the MOKSH (will get rid of the Cycle of BIRTH AND DEATH).Also it is believed that when the whole universe will finish at that time also only KASHI will not be destroyed. The famous Temple of LORD SHIV–KASHI VISHWNATH (the owner of this world) is situated here.

After some time They thought that They may form another body who will be handling the creation of this NATURE and running the NATURE. So after rubbing the AMRIT on 10th part of HIS body LORD SHIV created another body very Strong and complete in all senses. The newly created body ask LORD SHIV after birth, the reason of creating Him and request Lord Shiv to give a name to Him. Lord SHIV gave Him the name as VISHNU (the person responsible to run the Vishav-world) and told Him to create the whole nature and run it effectively. Accepting the directions, God Vishnu started the GREAT TAPASYA (meditation) and while doing the meditation, the various streams of water came out from His body and that is why He is also called NARAYAN (owner of Neer-water). That is why the rest place of God Vishnu is the water. At this by the blessings of God Vishnu from the nature MAHATAVTA (importance) comes out which further give rise to 3 GUNAS (type of nature of people), TIVIDH AHANKAR (three types of proud) which further give rise to 5 TANTARAMYA and which further give rise to 5 BHOOT and it further give rise to other GYANANDERIAY (feelings) and KARAMAYENDRIYA (working sense). Like this total 24 TATAVS were created.

He took rest on the water and after a long time a very beautiful KAMAL (lotus) comes out from the NABHI of God Vishnu and Lord Shiv creates GOD BRAHMA from his right part and put God Brahma in that lotus. But when GOD BRAHMA became active then HE found HIMSELF in the lotus and to know about HIS father, HE started taking round of that lotus and try to find out its end. But even after HIS thousands of attempt HE could not find the origin point of that lotus. When God Brahma was very confused at that time an AKASHWANI (spiritual voice) was heard ‘DO TUP (meditation)”. After listening this, God Brahma started doing TAPASYA (meditation). After a very long Tapasya of God Brahma, God Vishnu became happy and gave HIM the DARSHAN (become visible) and told him that only LORD SHIV is the owner of whole of this. Later while debating a dispute cropped up between GOD VISHNU and GOD BRAHMA over the supremacy. When they could not solve it at that time a pillar of cool and pleasant fire suddenly comes out from the earth. Both of THEM tried to find out the origin of this pillar. But even after coming up and down thousands time THEY could not find the beginning and end of that pillar. When BOTH OF THEM could not succeed then THEY went to the SHARAN (shelter) of LORD SHIVA and remember HIM. After thousands of years of meditation by THEM, then the LORD SHIV and SHIVA comes out in the form of NAAD (sound) ‘OM” from the pillar. Since the pillar was with LAY (sound) that is why it is also called the LING ROOP of LORD SHIV.

This word OM in Hindi or Sanskrit is consisting of three parts. The first part ‘AA” represent- BEEJ (seed) means GOD BRAHMA and middle part “OO” represent the YONI –GOD VISHNU-responsible to control and run the universe and last part “MA” represent LORD SHIV who is BEEJAK (the power responsible for putting the seed ). So “OM” is the first MANTAR and is also called PARANAV MANTAR. From that pillar LORD SHIV along with DEVI SHIVA came out and told GOD BRAHMA & GOD VISHNU that this pillar is a HIS LING ROOP and shall be worshiped like HIM only. LORD SHIV gave the full knowledge of VEDAS’S first to GOD VISHNU then GOD BRAHMA.

Lord Shiv also assigned the duty of creating life to God BRAHMA and running the life AND to control the life to God VISHNU. Lord SHIV also said that from there after God Vishnu will look after the God Brahma and will provide help in the formation and running of Srishti. Lord SHIV also told them that one creation of DEVI SHIVA –the female counter part of HIM, will create VAGH DEVI for GOD BRAHMA and LAKSHMI DEVI for GOD VISHNU and also told them that another GOD in the name of GOD RUDHAR will also come, Who will be exactly similar to LORD SHIV and nobody will be able to distinguish between LORD SHIV and God RUDHAR. LORD SHIV also directed that GOD RUDHAR shall be given the same respect as is given to LORD SHIV and the third female part created by SHIVA will be KAALI DEVI for God RUDHAR. GOD RUDHAR will be responsible for the destruction and end of life in the universe. LORD SHIV also told that GOD RUDHAR will come out from the eyebrows of GOD BRAHMA. After that LORD SHIV disappear and went to KAILASH LOK (HIS PLACE) from there and also God Vishnu went to the BAIKUNTH DHAM (His place).

Then the God Brahma took some water in HIS hand and did the JAL ARPAN (gave water after keeping the hand above the head) as a respect to LORD SHIV and God Vishnu. Immediately a GOLDEN EGG appeared but was in a JADH (without life) Roop and was consisted of 24 TATAVS (already discussed above) and having access from PATAL LOK TO SATYA LOK. Disappointed with this God Brahma keeps on with TAPSAYA for 12 years and after that God Vishnu appears and asked God Brahma about the problem. God Brahma told God Vishnu that the egg is not having CHETNA (life) then God Vishnu enters that egg and broke that egg. The lower half portion of that was converted into earth and the upper half of the egg was converted in to Universe on the top.

First of all TAMSI PRAVARTI appears which represent the PAAP and is also called AVIDHYA PANCHAK. Then God Brahma created SATHAVAR SANGHYK VRIKSH and is also called MUKHAY SARG. It was not able to do KARAMs all trees and plants belong to this category. Then God Brahma created TRIYOKSROTRA which means moving in TIRCHI direction and all animals and birds over and under the water comes in this category which also is a BHOG YONI. Then God Brahma created URDHAV SATRAN SARG under which DEVTAs were created, which is again a BHOG YONI. Then God Brahma created AVARKSROTRA under which the human beings were created and were able to do KARAM. Then God Brahma created BHOOT etc other Yoni’s. Then God Brahma creates four sons from Himself and this process is called KOMARSARG.

He gave instructions to HIS sons to create SARISHTI but they refused and pleaded that they will only do the TAPSYA and worship LORD SHIV. At this God Brahma got angry and did very hard TAPASYA to make LORD SHIVA happy. In the mean time, God Rudhar appeared from the in between space of God Brahma was exactly alike LORD SHIV and was in ARDHNARISHVAR ROOP. The GOD BRAHMA request God Rudhar to create some humans. He created many RUDHAR GAN from Him. God Brahma requested him to create HUMANS with birth and death. God Rudhar, who is LORD SHIV, in fact refused and said that the JEEV with birth and death will never be happy so GOD RUDHAR will not create them and HE will only help them to come out of this cycle by giving them GYAN and KIRPA so this thing will have to be done by GOD BRAHMA only and went away from there with HIS RUDHARGAN.

Then God Brahma by combining 5 SOOKSHAM BHOOT established JADH AKKASH, JAL, VAYU, AGNI called PANCH BHOOT. Then God Brahma created- RISHI- MAREECH, BRAHG, ANGIRA, PULLAH, PULASTYA, VASHISHT, KRATU, ATRI, DAKSH, NARAD, KARDAM AND DHARAM. . Then God Brahma created his ARDH NARISHWAR ROOP and from HIM created DEVI VAGHA. With Her help God Brahma created MANU and SHATROOPA. Then RISHI Manu got married with the SHATROOPA and starts the MAITHUNI SRISHTI (world with intercourse between the opposite sex) and gave birth to two sons PRIYA VART AND UTTAN PADH and three daughter named AAKUTI who was later married to RISHI RUCHI then DEVHUTI who later got married to RISHI KARDAM and third PARSOOTI who got married to RISHI DAKSH and gave birth to so many children who further created the different spices of JEEVS including Human beings. The famous Roop of Devi Sati was in the form of daughter of Daksh who got married with LORD SHIV.

Even today the Hindu’s know their GOTRA to which they belongs to and actually shows the Rishi whose was the forefather of their VANSH. So, like that the HISTORY OF HINDHU DHARAM cannot be simply discarded by saying MYTHOLOGY since it is very scientific and if the detail of our VEDHs, SHASTRAs are studied then the complete family History of any Hindu can be find out. Even today when we go to HARIDWAR we can see our family history and name of our forefathers up to hundred of years perhaps up to the time back when the humans started writing. So, ultimately I will say that if we want to know about NATURE then we should give up the intention of WINNING the NATURE and shall try to take the blessings from Nature and try to understand Nature by understanding it with her help only.
