This Navaratri, taking the Sankalpa to read Mahabharat in original Sanskrit along with Hindi Translation, thanks to Gita Press Edition (amzn.to/3RdthEY). Seeking the blessings of Devi to keep me healthy enough to complete it without a Vighna.
#Mahabharata
In the forests of Naimisharanya, Ugrashrava - the son of Lomharshan Rishi, tells the Munis gathered for a Satra about Kalchakra - just like fruits and flowers appear with Ritu and merge back after it, so does everything at the end of a Kalpa.

#Mahabharat #AdiParva 1.32 Image
Duryodhan is like tree whose trunk is Karna, Shakuni a branch, Dushasan a fruit & Dhritrashtra the root of this tree.
Yuddhisthir is tree of Dharma, Arjun his trunk, Bhimsen branch, Nakul Sahdev fruits & flowers, root is Krishna & Veda.

'Science Behind Indian Calendar' is a workshop I conducted a lot this year, and then I chanced upon this poem by Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar:
ये नव वर्ष हमे स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं
है अपनी ये तो रीत नहीं
है अपना ये व्यवहार नहीं
1/n
धरा ठिठुरती है सर्दी से
आकाश में कोहरा गहरा है
बाग़ बाज़ारों की सरहद पर
सर्द हवा का पहरा है
सूना है प्रकृति का आँगन
कुछ रंग नहीं , उमंग नहीं
हर कोई है घर में दुबका हुआ
नव वर्ष का ये कोई ढंग नहीं
चंद मास अभी इंतज़ार करो
निज मन में तनिक विचार करो
नये साल नया कुछ हो तो सही
2/n
क्यों नक़ल में सारी अक्ल बही
उल्लास मंद है जन -मन का
आयी है अभी बहार नहीं
ये नव वर्ष हमे स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं
ये धुंध कुहासा छंटने दो
रातों का राज्य सिमटने दो
प्रकृति का रूप निखरने दो
फागुन का रंग बिखरने दो
3/n

Started reading the Brahmananda Puran ( amzn.to/356oH5u) - 2 volume granth, should keep me busy till next Navaratri. As always will share the snippets as I go. Send me your blessings.

#Brahmand #BrahmandPuran #Reading Image
Different Puranas classify the 18 Puranas in different ways. Here is how Padma Purana does it on the basis of Sattva, Rajas & Tamo Gunas.

#brahmand #brahmandpuran Image
Proton = सत्व गुण
Electron = रजोगुण
Neutron = तमोगुण
A combination of the three in different proportions creates this world.

DELHI WE HARDLY KNOW - a thread based on the book ' Delhi - City of Yoginis (amzn.to/2kR2bXS) '. Read it 10 years ago and again now. Sharing some snippets. You can read my earlier review here - anureviews.com/delhi-city-of-…

#books #Delhi @msignca @ICCR_Delhi @MinOfCultureGoI
Delhi was once called Yoginipur, it is one of the 11 names of the city mentioned in scriptures. One Yogini temple survives in the city - Yogmaya Temple behind Qutub Minar - inditales.com/ancient-yogmay… Aurganzeb could not destroy it, he tried though.

#Books #Delhi @SoDelhi @upma23
There were two Devi temples in Purana Qila Complex - one dedicated to Kunti - the mother of Pandavas & second to Shitala Mata. Kunti Murti was stolen & Shitala Mata Temple one was demolished by ASI - inditales.com/in-and-around-…
