If you are a Shiv Bhakt, you must have practiced saying your prayers in the ears of Nandi Ji. Bhagwan Nandi Ji is one of the most dearest and close one to Bhagwaan Shiva. Outside every Shiv temple we can see Nandi ji patiently waiting for his Aradhya. The word Nandi comes from a

Tamil rooted word Nandhu which means to grow, to flourish or to appear, symbolizing the appearing of Nandi Ji or other white bulls. The sanskrit word nandi means joy, happiness, and satisfaction, which are the properties of divine Shiv-Nandi.
Every Shiv temple showcases

Nandi Ji looking towards the entrance of the main shrine.

Nandi Ji is a symbol of eternal patience and waiting. In indian culture waiting is considered as one of the greatest virtues. The one who knows how to simply sit and wait can achieve anything on a spiritual level and

The game had its origin in India and was called #Moksha Patam or Parama Padam or Mokshapat. It was used to teach Hindu Dharma and Hindu values to children. The British renamed it #snakes and #Ladders.

The game was created by the 13th-century poet saint Gyandev. The ladders in

the game represented virtues and the #snakes indicated vices. The game was played with cowrie shells and dices. Later through time, the game underwent several modifications but the meaning is the same i.e good deeds take us to heaven and evil to a cycle of re-births. Certain

references take the game back to the 2nd century BC.

In the original game square, 12 was faith, 51 was Reliability, 57 was Generosity, 76 was #Knowledge, and 78 was Asceticism. These were the squares where the ladder was found. Square 41 was for Disobedience, 44 for Arrogance,

The European Space Agency's (ESA) exoplanet-hunting Cheops satellite has found a third planet in a star system previously believed to have only two planets. The third planet, discovered in a unique photobomb, appears to contain large amounts of water clouds.

Astronomers came across the third planet as it moved across the star revealing details of a rare planet “with no known equivalent.” This is the first time that an exoplanet with an orbit of over 100 days has been spotted transiting a star that is bright enough to be visible to

the naked eye.

The star system dubbed Nu2 Lupi is located just under 50 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Lupus (the Wolf) and previous observations had shown two planets orbiting it.

We live in a world where walking barefoot is avoided. The modern world believes that walking barefoot is not appropriate, but our ancestors were in favour of walking barefoot. Do you know the reason behind it?
Going barefoot also signifies respect for the earth upon which people

walk. The foot is the body part that touches the earth – the sacred mother of all. The earth is imbued with generative powers and the foot is thought of as the conduit through which the vital energy of the earth travels through humans unto the cosmos.

The fact that ‘We are electrical beings’ was long understood by our ancestors. Hence the traditional lifestyle hinged around connecting with the earth by either walking barefoot within the house, sleeping on ground, eating while sitting on ground and even kids playing barefoot

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

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.

The spiritual meaning of Namaste is profound Particularly in Hinduism, Gods are worshiped by closing the eyes and joining the palms in reverence, which indicates the recognition of their divinity.

'While paying obeisance to God, bring the palms together. After joining the hands

one should bow and bring the head forward. While tilting the head forward, one should place the thumbs at the mid-brow region, i.e. at the point between the eyebrows and try to concentrate on the feet of the Deity. After that, instead of bringing the folded hands down immediately

they should be placed on the mid-chest region for a minute in such way that the wrists touch the chest; then only should the hands be brought down.

The fingers should not be stiff while bringing the palms together because this will lead to a decrease in Sattva component from the
