Kakudmi's daughter Revati was so beautiful and so accomplished that when she reached a marriageable age, Kakudmi, thinking no one upon earth was worthy of her, went to the Creator himself, Lord Brahma, to seek his advice about a suitable husband for his daughter. When they An incidence from Sanatan Scriptures that relate with the Ei
arrived, Brahma was listening to a musical performance by the Gandharvas, so they waited patiently until the performance was finished. Then, Kakudmi bowed humbly, made his request, and presented his shortlist of candidates. Brahma laughed and explained that time runs differently
on different planes of existence and that during the short time they had waited in Brahma-Loka to see him, 27 Chatur-yugas (a cycle of four yugas, totaling 108 yugas) had passed on earth. Brahma said to Kakudmi, "O King, all those whom you may have decided within the core of
your heart to accept as your son-in-law has died in the course of time. Twenty-seven chatur-yugas have already passed. Those upon whom you may have already decided are now gone, and so are their sons, grandsons, and other descendants. You cannot even hear about their names. You
must therefore bestow Revati upon some other husband, for you are now alone, and your friends, your ministers, servants, wives, kinsmen, armies, and treasures, have long since been swept away by the hand of time." King Kakudmi was overcome with astonishment and alarm at hearing
this news. However, Brahma comforted him and added that Bhagwan Vishnu, the preserver, was currently incarnate on earth in the forms of Krishn and Shesha Naga as Balarama, he recommended Balarama as a worthy husband for Revati. Kakudmi and Revati then returned to earth which they
regarded as having left only just a short while ago. They were shocked by the changes that had taken place. Not only had the landscape and environment changed, but over the intervening 27 Chatur-yugas, in the cycles of human spiritual and cultural evolution, mankind was at a
lower level of development than in their own time. The Bhagavata Purana describes that they found the race of men had become "dwindled in stature, reduced in vigour, and enfeebled in intellect." The daughter and father found Balarama and proposed the marriage which was accepted.
Revathi and Balaram were eligible for each other, but there was a small problem. Revati was much taller than Balaram in size as she was born in a previous Yuga. Balarama Ji touched the head and shoulders of Princess Revathi with his divine plow. The size of Revathi instantly
reduced to a suitable size for Balaram Ji. The marriage was then duly celebrated. This story is a surprising result that our ancestors were aware of the time difference in space. Time in Brahmaloka was slower than that of Earth.
It is believed to be a possible indication of ancient Sanatan knowledge of the phenomenon similar to the time dilation theory of Einstein.

You must have read some books or have heard from many yogis about Chakras. But, do you know what chakras are? How do they work? In the Sanskrit language, chakra means wheel. Here, the spiritual meaning of chakra is “a wheel of flowing energy” in the body. We have 114 chakras in 7 Chakras
total in the human body, and they work as the connection or junction of the Nadis. The Nadis are the passage of prana or energy in the body. Out of the 114 Chakras, two of them are outside the physical body. In reality, we can only work on 108 chakras from the remaining 112
Chakras. However, we only need 21 chakras to be active in our body to live a full-fledged life. Due to the three dimensions of energy, Pingala, Ida, and Sushumna, these 21 Chakras form 7 sets, each of them with three functioning Chakras that work as one. Therefore, you will be

earlier the development of the brain takes place by benefiting the meridians connecting the brain to the earlobe. As per acupressure therapy, piercing helps in allergies and migraines. Earrings are also responsible for maintaining a uniform flow of electric current in the body.

Generally Shiva is referred to as the ultimate man, he is the symbolism of ultimate masculinity, but you will see in the Ardhanarishvara form of Shiva, one half of him is a fully developed woman. Let me tell you the story of what happened. Shiva was in an ecstatic condition and Image
because of that, Parvati was drawn to him. After Parvati did many things to woo him and sought all kinds of help, they got married. Once they were married, naturally, Shiva wanted to share whatever was his experience.
Parvati said, “This state that you are in within yourself,
I want to experience it too. What should I do? Tell me. I am willing to do any kind of austerity.” Shiva smiled and said, “There is no need for you to do any great austerity. You just come and sit on my lap.” Parvati came and with absolutely no resistance towards him, sat on his
