Are we eating right? Because what we eat we become. The food we eat nourishes our body, but there is much more than nourishment. Our Vedic scriptures distinguish food into three categories based on its effect on our body on the physical and mental level. Understanding the food we
intake is necessary to ensure it benefits our body. Food in Sanatan Dharma is not just “any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or that plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth”.According to the Vedic scriptures, food is beyond what is eaten through
the mouth and digested by the body. In Sanatan Dharma, food is understood to affect one’s thoughts, emotions, and mind, and food can lead to God-realization. Food is distributed into three categories in Vedic Culture: Sattvic, Rajas, & Tamasic. A Sattvic diet incorporates simple,
light, and healthy food. They are neither too sweet nor salty or spicy. Consuming Sattvic food helps in purifying our body and mind. Food that we obtain after harming any living beings falls under Rajasic or Tamasic foods. Rajasic food accelerates the mind into action. A person
consuming Rajasic food becomes restless. Rajasic food increases the energy level of our body stimulating, every part of the system. However, it promotes aggression and reckless behavior. Sometimes a person becomes dominating due to their extreme violent nature and robustness.
Foods prepared by harming living beings fall under the Rajasic or Tamasic category. Tamasic foods become heavy to our digestion system. Stale or oily food also falls under Tamasic food. Tamasic foods lack life force in the diet and lead to a confused state of mind.
Tamasic food promotes laziness, slowness, clumsy behavior, etc.R

Also, he is the principal source of light on earth and is a supporter of life. Apart from Sanatan dharma Lord Surya is also lord-surya-significance-of-offering-water-to-the-sun/
preached around the world for his gifts to humankind. There are many advantages of offering water to Lord Surya and various other aspects of worshipping him, with the benefits being scientifically proven. Offering Water to the sun during the early morning promotes the absorption

This map was translated from a verse from Mahabharata where Dhrithrashtra asks Sanjay, how world looks like from space. The verses are from ‘Jamvu-khanda Nirmana Parva’, which in turn is within the Bhishma Parva book of the Mahabharata. Sanjay says, O son of Kuru’s race, I will,
however, describe to thee the island called Sudarsana. This island, O king, is circular and of the form of a wheel. It is covered with rivers and other pieces of water and with mountains looking like masses of clouds, and with cities and many delightful provinces. It is also full
of trees furnished with flowers and fruits, and with crops of diverse kinds and other wealth. And it is surrounded on all sides with the salt ocean. As a person can see his own face in a mirror, even so is the island called Sudarsana seen in the lunar disc.

मोहिनी भगवान विष्णु का एकमात्र स्त्री रूप अवतार है। इसमें उन्हें ऐसे स्त्री रूप में दिखाया गया है जो सभी को मोहित कर ले। उसके प्रेम में वशीभूत होकर कोई भी सब भूल जाता है। समुद्र मंथन के समय जब देवताओं व असुरों को सागर से अमृत मिल चुका था, तब देवताओं को यह डर था कि असुर कहीं अमृत Mohini Avatar of Bhagwan Vishnu
पीकर अमर न हो जायें। तब वे भगवान विष्णु के पास गये व प्रार्थना की कि ऐसा होने से रोकें। तब भगवान विष्णु ने मोहिनी अवतार लेकर अमृत देवताओं को पिलाया व असुरों को मोहित कर अमर होने से रोका।
भस्मासुर पौराणिक कथाओं में ऐसा राक्षस था जिसे वरदान था कि वो जिसके सिर पर हाथ रखेगा, वह भस्म हो जाएगा। कथा के अनुसार भस्मासुर ने इस शक्ति का गलत प्रयोग शुरू किया और स्वयं शिव जी को भस्म करने चला। शिव जी ने विष्णु जी से सहायता माँगी। विष्णु जी ने एक सुन्दर स्त्री का रूप धारण किया

Fasting in Sanatan Dharma is a moral and spiritual practice that aims to clean body, mind, and attain divine grace. There is a lot of science indulged in Vedic scriptures of Sanatan dharma. Fasting has greater significance rather than some cultural beliefs. India is said to be a Benefits of Fasting
country with many cultural beliefs. Customs practiced throughout the nation hold greater meaning in life. Fasting is one of such rituals. It is a practice of Santana Dharma that can range from little restrictions to heavy customs. The choice of days and methods of fasting depends
on the community or the individual. Fast is a self-restriction on food and behavior to enlighten our inner being. No priest or person is required to practice fasting. We should fast regularly to keep our minds and body free of toxins that are growing in our lives every day.
