..paintings of India comprises of the Ragas or a pattern of musical notes, and religious and mythological stories. Miniature paintings are made on a very small scale especially for books or albums. These are executed on materials, such as paper and cloth. Image
The Palas of Bengal are considered the pioneers of miniature painting in India. The tradition of miniature paintings was further taken forward by the artists of various Rajasthani schools of painting, including the Kishangarh, Bundi Jaipur, Mewar and Marwar. Image
Natural stone colours are used in a paper-based “wasli” for the creation of these paintings. The miniature paintings have developed into several distinct schools of miniature like Mughal, Rajasthan, Deccan, Kangra, Malwa, Pahadi, etc. Image
Miniature paintings originated in India around 750 A.D when the Palas ruled over the eastern part of India. Since religious teachings of the Buddha, accompanied by his images, were written on palm leaves, these paintings became popular. Image
As these paintings were done on palm leaves, they had to be miniature in nature because of space constraint.Around 960CE,similar paintings were introduced in western parts of India by the rulers of the Chalukya Dynasty. Image
During this period,miniature paintings often portrayed religious themes.Rajasthan had their own distinct features and often depicted the royal lifestyle and mythological stories of Sri Krishna and Radha. Image

🌺।।The Concept of Sapta Dvipa or Seven Continents is not new in the Hindu Cosmology।।🌺

⚜️Isn't it Amazing ?

How did our ancestors know that the Earth consists of Sapta Dvipa (Seven Continents) ?

Let's explore here;

A Thread 🧵Image
The Ancient Scriptures like Puranas and Mahabharata very clearly talk about the Seven Continents in the World.

In Hindu cosmology, the world is described as being divided into seven concentric island-continents. These are mentioned in texts like the Puranas and the Mahabharata. Image
These Saptadweep together form the world (Bhu-mandala) according to Hindu cosmology.

The Srimad Bhagavatam Puran offers a unique perspective on the world’s geography. It describes our planet, the Vasumatī, which comprises seven continents, or “Sapta dvipa.” It provides a fascinating glimpse into ancient geographical knowledge.

🌺।।Uddhava was a close friend, confidant, cousin and devotee of Sri Krishna।।🌺

And, The Uddhava Gita is a sacred spiritual discourse that Sri Krishna gave to his devotee and cousin Uddhava towards the end of his earthly life.

A Thread 🧵Image
Uddhava was the son of Devabhaga, who was Krishna’s paternal uncle (Vasudeva’s brother). This makes Uddhava Krishna’s cousin.

Towards the end of Krishna’s earthly life, Krishna imparted the Uddhava Gita (a spiritual discourse similar to the Bhagavad Gita) to Uddhava, containing profound teachings on devotion, dharma, and renunciation.
This story, set during Krishna’s final days as an avatar, records the conversations between Krishna and Uddhava , later known as the Uddhava Gita, where Uddhava asks heartfelt questions about Krishna’s actions in the Mahabharata, and Krishna offers deep, enlightening answers.

🌺।।Rameshwaram Temple traces its history to the times of Ramayana &there are 24 Holy Wells here,but the most fascinating fact about them is,even being surrounded by the vast sea,the water in the Wells is fresh water।।🌺

Divine mysteries of 24 Teerthams

Thread🧵Image
Ramanathaswamy Temple (Rameshwaram Temple) is one of the most sacred Hindu temples, located on Rameswaram Island in Tamil Nadu, India.

Dedicated to God Shiva, the Temple is considered one of the Twelve Jyotirlingas.

Prabhu Sri Ram worshipped Bhagwan Shiv here after defeating Ravana in Lanka and installed the sacred Shiva Lingam.

Rameshwaram is one of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites of Hindus, the other being Badrinath, Dwarkanath, Jagannath.
Rameswaram Temple Tirthas are the holy wells situated inside the Rameswaram Temple in Tamilnadu, India. There are sixty-four Tīrthas (holy water bodies) in and around the island of Rameswaram.

According to Skanda Purana, 24 Tirthas in Rameswaram are important and taking snan (bathing) in them are considered equivalent to penance. Twenty-Two Teerthams are inside Ramanathaswamy Temple.

The number twenty-two denotes the twenty-two arrows in the quiver of Prabhu Sri Ram. The first and the most important theertham is called as Agni Theertham, which is the serene shallow water of the Bay of Bengal, close to the Ramanathaswamy temple.Image

🌺।। हेरम्ब गणपति गणपति के 32 प्रसिद्ध रूपों (बत्तीस अवतारों) में से एक हैं। इन्हें सबसे शक्तिशाली, करुणामयी और नम्र लोगों तथा आंतरिक जगत का रक्षक रूप माना गया है।।🌺

A Thread 🧵

तांत्रिक और शाक्त परंपराओं के हरे-भरे, गोधूलि उपवनों में, जहाँ ईश्वर स्वयं को उग्र और दयालु, दोनों रूपों में प्रकट करता है, भगवान गणेश का एक गहन और राजसी रूप, हेरम्ब गणपति, निवास करता है।Image
वे केवल बाधाओं को दूर करने वाले ही नहीं हैं, वे एक दुर्जेय रक्षक हैं जो यह सुनिश्चित करते हैं कि यात्रा स्वयं पवित्र और सुरक्षित रहे। उनका नाम, हेरम्ब, एक वचन फुसफुसाता है, "वह जो कमज़ोरों की रक्षा करता है" (हे, जिसका अर्थ है 'कमज़ोर' या 'असुरक्षित', और रम्ब, जिसका अर्थ है 'रक्षक')।
एक साधारण दर्शक के लिए, वे एक शक्तिशाली सिंह पर सवार, पाँच मुख वाले, दस भुजाओं वाले देवता हैं, जो विस्मयकारी शक्ति का एक दर्शन हैं। लेकिन आंतरिक दृष्टि, ज्ञान चक्षु के लिए, हेरम्ब ब्रह्मांडीय सिद्धांतों का एक जटिल मानचित्र और आध्यात्मिक साधक के लिए एक गहन मार्गदर्शक हैं।

🌺।।मंत्र जप के 10 नियम और विधि।।🌺

यह आलेख उन सभी के लिए है जो मंत्र की शक्ति तो जानते हैं पर जप विधि में ध्यान नहीं दे पाते। मंत्र को कैसे सिद्ध करें और उसका पूर्ण लाभ उठाने के लिए ध्यान से पढ़ें।

⚜️1. मंत्र जप के लिए बैठने का आसन : मंत्र को सिद्ध करने के लिए और उसका पूर्ण लाभ उठाने के लिए सबसे पहले सही आसन का चुनाव करें। हमारे ऋषि मुनि सिद्धासन का प्रयोग किया करते थे। इसके अलावा पद्मासन , सुखासन , वीरासन या वज्रासन भी काम में लिया जा सकता है।
⚜️2. समय का चुनाव : मंत्र साधना के लिए आप सही समय चुने। जब आप आलस्य से दूर और वातावरण शांत हो। इसके लिए ब्रह्म मुहूर्त अर्थात् सूर्योदय से पूर्व का समय उपयुक्त है। संध्या के समय पूजा आरती के बाद भी जप का समय सही माना गया है।

⚜️3. एकाग्रचित ध्यान : मंत्र जप करते समय आपका ध्यान और मन एकाग्रचित होना चाहिए। आपको बिल्कुल भी बाहरी दुनिया में ध्यान नही देना चाहिए। मन दूसरी बातो में ना लगे। जिस देवता का आप मंत्र उच्चारण कर रहे हैं बस उनके रूप का ध्यान करते रहें।
