#RamaNama_Mahima
The Ram Nama or name of Rama existed even before the birth of Prince Rama of Ayodhya. It is a sacred vibration which is full of bliss and has the power to control the mind and bring man back to his original divine nature. All karmas are burnt off with the Image
blazing power of the Rama Nama. Every being has a right to return back to his divine nature and thus every being has a right to chant the Rama Nama. Japa Yoga says that one must chant the name of God with Love and feeling. This is true. One must feel love for God and call out His
Name. And God responds even when we call His Name unknowingly and even in sleep. When we receive the Siddha Mantra of Ram and chant the mantra, we do not know or realise the meaning of the mantra or have great love for God in the beginning. But as we keep chanting, the powerful

#India has many temples of #LordRam, but Raveri village in #Maharashtra's #Yavatmal district has a temple dedicated to Goddess #Sita. Read the thread on how the local lore about this shrine was harnessed in a unique initiative to #women their rights
#WomensDay #WomensDay2023
This is a temple to Goddess #Sita and not #LordRam, unlike the other shrines where Ram, Sita, Laxman and even Lord Hanuman are worshipped together. Here, the presiding deity is Sita Mata.

#SharadJoshi #ShetkariSanghatana
It is said that when a pregnant Mata #Sita was asked to leave #Ayodhya by #LordRam, she came to Raveri, which is located in in Ralegaon taluka. She was hungry and asked villagers for some grain. But they refused and she cursed them that no wheat would grow there #SharadJoshi

Thread: Unfortunately in the Tamil Vs Hindi/Sanskrit debate the work of the 18 Siddhas hasn’t received much attention! The Siddhas were experts in Jnana, Aushadha, Alchemy, Astrology, Tantra and Yoga. They worked tirelessly and mystically to benefit humanity. Here is about them+
#Agasthiyar is the pradhana Siddha. Credited with first Tamil grammar compilation: Agathiyam. Deep yogic practices and medicinal system given by him. Directly initiated by Shiva Peruman. He initiated Mahavatar Babaji in Kutralam
#Thirumoolar wrote the Thirumandiram which is an unparalleled work on Yoga with 3000 verss. Did Parakaya pravesha on a cow-herd named moolan and meditated. Blessed by Shiva Peruman to carry fwd his teachings. Samadhi in Chidambaram

Vamos voltar algumas centenas de milhares de anos atrás.

Houve uma aldeia.

Nasceu um cachorro. Depois que cresceu, foi em busca de comida. Comeu alguns vegetais selvagens...

@gustavoramos @PauloDemchuk @alan_schramm @38bitcoinheiro @R0nih @rpandolfato @RedpillOliver - Um dia, houve um incêndio na floresta 🔥

- O cachorro fugiu. Depois que o fogo acalmou, o cachorro voltou.

Os vegetais foram cozidos no incêndio florestal 🧵
@gustavoramos @PauloDemchuk @alan_schramm @38bitcoinheiro @R0nih @rpandolfato @RedpillOliver Achou-os mais saborosos e nutritivos e continuou a comê-los. Poucos dias depois, alguns deles continham altas bactérias. O cachorro comeu e morreu lentamente.

Meses depois, apareceu outro cachorro. Depois que cresceu, foi em busca de comida. Comeu alguns vegetais selvagens 🧵

Valmiki played an important role in Uttara Kanda, the last chapter of epic Ramayana. The Uttara
Kanda was not original work of Valmiki. It is believe to be taken up from Sesha Ramayana.

According to the legend Rama send Sita to forest. Sita finds refuge in Sage Valmiki's ashram,
where she gives birth to twin boys Lava and Kusha. Lava and Kusha were Valmiki's first disciples
to whom he taught the Ramayana. #वन्दे_वाल्मीकिम् #ValmikiJayanti
Bala Kanda of the epic also tells the story of Valmiki narrating the Ramayana to his disciples Lava
and Kusha. #वन्दे_वाल्मीकिम् #valmikijayanti

The #UttarRamayan, derived from Uttar Kand, containing story of Luv Kush is an addition to the #Valmiki Ramayan at a later date. Valmiki's last chapter is Yuddha Kanda or Lanka Kanda. Source : A comparitive study of Kamba Ramayan and Tulasi Ramayan by S Shankar Raju.
In the first few minutes of #UttarRamayan, #RamanandSagar clarified that pressure from #Valmiki samaj and discussions in Indian Parliament led to his acceptance of public demand to continue the serial with Lav Kush angle. #Ramayana
As such #UttarRamayan on @DDNational should be seen only for entertainment purposes. Do not judge the character of #ShriRam with the events that unfold in the serial. Leave it there.

When Valmiki completed his #Ramayana, Narada said 'It's good, but Hanuman's is better'.

#Valmiki didn't like that and wondered whose Ramayana was better. He found #Hanuman Ramayana inscribed on seven broad leaves of a banana tree. He read it and found it to be perfect.
The most exquisite choice of grammar and vocabulary, metre & melody. He couldn't help himself. He started to cry. Is it so bad?asked Hanuman No, it's so good, said Valmiki 'Then why are u crying? asked Hanuman.Bcoz after reading ur Ramayana no one will read mine, replied Valmiki.
Hearing this Hanuman tore up the banana leaves stating now no one will ever read Hanuman's Ramayana But why? asked Valmiki.Hanuman said, U need ur Ramayana more than I need mine. You wrote ur Ramayana so that the world remembers Valmiki I wrote my Ramayana so that I remember Ram.
