“PERIOD PARTY” is the new fad in west.
WOW! They r catching up to our traditions.
Since eons in south India we hv been celebrating RITUSHUDDHI (ceremony to celebrate menarche) when the young girl is gifted SAREE & waist-let.
FERTILITY was always celebrated in #Sanatana. 👍

2/3 In last one decade these celebrations have reduced as it is not considered PROGRESSIVE to celebrate female fertility anymore. Western media wont spare a chance to rub it into INDIANS that some call it ASHUDH(impure) But they will never speak about KAMAKHYA temple where we…

…celebrate a bleeding Goddess.🙏
What I fear most is— someday westerners will become more Sanatani than Sanatanis themselves and they will put a western stamp on it.
Like the war on TURMERIC patent.
B4 we lose our inheritance— lets begin exploring SANATANA deeper. 😊

Science in Sanatana!
Why did Bhagwan #Shiv not destroy poison, HALAHALAM and why did he choose to drink and keep it in original form in his throat?
Ans:
LAW of conservation of MASS and BODY cycles simplified! 😊 In #Sanatana stories help simplify universe’s functioning.

2/3 The 4 chakras below throat chakra each represent Earth, water, Fire and Air. If the poision was allowed to go below throat chakra, OR if it was allowed to be buried in soil, poured into sea or destroyed in Air, then it would hv polluted the planet. Inside & outside!
3/3
Shiv ji knew matter can neither be created or destroyed— what is today called law of conservation of mass. Hence he decided to keep the poison in his throat in it’s original form.
Stories of Puran are not merely stories but pearls of wisdom.

1/2 From now let us call it by its original name—DHRUV STAMBH (Sanskrit) & not Qutub Minar (Urdu). The structure is aligned to North Star-Dhruv. It is also called VISHNU Stambh. And hold ur breath—it’s associated with HEART CHAKRA/Green LOTUS. 😊 Let me explain. @LostTemple7
2/3 In Hinduism, Dhruv is Vishnu Bhakt & Vishnu Bhagwan is associated with AIR & so is the heart chakra. In short, this place ws used not jst to study stars but also the WIND.Btw Vishnu equivalent Egyptian God is also associated with Air. #Sanatana ws spread across the globe.😊🙏
3/3 U’ll find many LOTUS symbols inside QM/Dhruv Stambh—it represents heart chakra—Green Lotus with 12 petals. Y 12? The astrological signs when put together form a lotus. Check the pic👇—the black band represents the outer wall of Dhruv Stambh. Top view of the tower is a flower.
Video of #Sabrimala, reopening.
~2018,Nov—v wr fought to protect Sabrimala.
~2019,Nov—#Ayodhya verdict happened.
~2020–ppl involved in desecrating the temple r incarcerated.
I’ve lots more to say bt we believe Sri Ayappa Swami controls Saturn/lord of #Karma so let it be. 😊

In Kerala, anyone with shani (Saturn) dasha is advised to visit Ayappa temples & consume sesame seeds (hs iron & calcium). Apparently, Saturn dasha impacts calcium level jn our body, that’s why its associated with Bones & Teeth. Interesting nooh?

Have u ever wondered y does India remain poor, despite the fact, in #Sanatana v offer poojas to Goddess of wealth-- LAXMI and v hv rituals to "charge" wealth?
Problem is most of the ppl fear manifesting wealth & believe that wealth is for the greedy. Let me burst few myths.

No, Santana doesn't say wealth is bad & that a spiritual person can't b RICH.
Ever wondered y do shops hv pictures of Ganesha & Laxmi at their entrances
or
y on Diwali, v offer pooja to Ganesha (deity who destroys troubles) & LAXMI (deity of wealth)?

Ideally we should be using Ganesha, Laxmi & Saraswati devi's pictures.
This so bcoz:
Saraswati~ represents wisdom
Ganesha~ represents new beginnings
Laxmi~ represents WEALTH.
We need wisdom to earn wealth.
WISDOM & WEALTH go hand in hand.

1-Today is the #Birth #Anniversary of quite possibly the most interesting #God in the #Sanatana #Pantheon - #Ganehsa!
For #AyurvedicAstrology and #VedicAstrology #Tradition in general – Ganesha is the central #God controlling all the #Planets.

No tradition is as rich in #Mythical #Symbolism (that if properly meditated upon – can point to the reality) – as the Vedic Tradition.

..and Tulsi leaves are an essential ingredient of panchamrita
Some people say that even when Tulsi is once used in worship,
..it can be cleaned and reused in another puja because it purifies itself. (3/25)

The story goes like this –
Imagine a group of prisoners in a underground cave who have been chained there since they were kids and they are tied in such a way that they can’t move. All they can see is in front of them – the back wall of the cave with the entrance behind them.

1. With cunning and ruthlessness #China was well on track. It might have become a #GlobalEmpire within another 20 to 30 years. But its own shrowdy , anti democratic and #AntiHuman policies leading to its own #disaster.
2.However in their desperation and over eagerness, China it seems has overplayed its hand on many fronts. Now, by triggering, concealing and manipulating a #CoronaPandemic, China has not only made its dream of empire untenable, it will probably destroy China.

It had been proclaimed in 1947 that the so called communal problem had been solved forever;
hardly 70yrs have passed and the Muslims have started speaking the same language which they used before the partition of India?
