🌺आचमन क्या है और इसे तीन बार ही क्यों किया जाता है ?🌺

पूजा, यज्ञ आदि आरंभ करने से पूर्व शुद्धि के लिए मंत्र पढ़ते हुए जल पीना ही आचमन कहलाता है। इससे मन और हृदय की शुद्धि होती है।

धर्मग्रंथों में तीन बार आचमन करने के संबंध में कहा गया है।

प्रथमं यत् पिवति तेन ऋग्वेद प्रीणाति। यद् द्वितीयं तेन यजुर्वेदं प्रीणाति यद् तृतीयं तेन सामवेदं प्रीणाति॥

अर्थात् तीन बार आचमन करने से तीनों वेद यानी-ऋग्वेद,यजुर्वेद,सामवेद प्रसन्न होकर सभी मनोकामनाएं पूर्ण करते हैं।
मनु महाराज के मतानुसार
त्रिराचामेदपः पूर्वम्।
-मनुस्मृति2/60

अर्थात् सबसे पहले तीन बार आचमन करना चाहिए। इससे कंठशोषण दूर होकर, कफ़ निवृत्ति के कारण श्वसन क्रिया में व मंत्रोच्चारण में शुद्धता आती है। इसीलिए प्रत्येक धार्मिक कृत्य के शुरू में और संध्योपासन के मध्य बीच-बीच में अनेक बार तीन की संख्या में आचमन का विधान बनाया गया है।

Did you know?

The Leaning Tower of Pisa leans at 4 degrees, which is less in comparison to the 9 degree tilt of the Ratneshwar Mahadev Temple. Yet, this Leaning Temple of Varanasi has been lost in anonymity and not known in the world as widely as Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Forget the world, it's not even known in India. This is called the Peak of Hypocrisy.

Ratneshwar temple near Manikarnika Ghat, is also called Kashi Karvat. It means a temple in Kashi, which leans ( karvat) to one side.

The story behind its tilted nature is quite interesting.

There is a legend surrounding the origin of this temple, which states that it was built by a certain servant of Raja Man Singh for his mother, named Ratna Bai. Once the temple was built, the man proudly declared that he had paid the debt to his mother.

🌺Do you know the great King of Bahraich named Suheldev?
Here's his story.🌺

The Ghznavid invasions had crippled India like no other invasion ever before. Mahmud of Ghzni was perhaps one of the first invaders to actually dent the strong Indian defences after alexander the great.

But ultimately he couldn’t follow up with the empire as his kingdom stopped at the north western region of India.

His nephew, Salar Masud would go on to continue his dream of raiding and plundering India every single year.

As a young upstart, Salar showed ferocity just like his uncle while his martial fervour eclipsed even that of his warrior ancestors.

At a young age of 16 he led his army to capture various parts of northern India including Ajmer and Delhi by the help of the Ghaznavid Army.

Nellaiappar Temple in Tirunelveli is a place of religious significance. It is a place of spiritual significance. It finds mention in our puranas and many literary books, especially the Tevarams. It’s gopurams and musical pillars are a work of beautiful art.

Musical magnificence of Nellaiappar Temple in Tirunelveli
• This 7th century Musical Pillar produces musical notes when tapped. Indeed a wonder of ancient architecture.

• The majestic Nellaiappar Temple itself is a masterpiece in terms of architecture.

The entire city is synonymous with this temple that is steeped in so many rich legends and stories.

I am talking about the Nellaiappar temple, a living example of beautiful Dravidian architecture that was built by the early Pandyas in the 7th century.

Why do we Indians don't need a separate day to celebrate 'Thanksgiving'? We celebrate 'Thanksgiving' 24X7 365 days, every hour, every minute...

Today on Thanksgiving want to highlight why we never need to dedicate a day to express our gratitude and thanks.

Our culture is built upon idea of feeling grateful to the Mother Nature. Our Vedas give Godly status to natural elements such as wind, fire, rain, water etc. We consider life saving river water, milk giving animals or life saving herbs as mother.

We pray& r thankful to each and every living,non-living thing,even the stones,we create symbolism of our devotion through them. No other way of living on this Earth celebrates'Thanksgiving' throughout the year but we Sanatani.Thats our culture, thats our pride!

Jayatu Sanatan 🙏
