Question: After getting darshan in the temple, sit for a moment on the stairwell/platform outside.

But why do you want to sit for a while?

#Thread Image
Answer: It is customary for us to come out after visiting a temple and sit for a time at the temple's foot.

Do you have any idea why this custom exists? Image
This ancient custom was created for a specific reason. In reality, one should recite a shloka while sitting silently at the foot of the shrine. This verse has been forgotten by modern people. Recite this shloka and pass it on to the next generation.

Jaggery (GuDa) - Health benefits - #Thread

The sugar crystals we eat or the brown sugar (jaggery or GuDa) is not so obviously in the sugar cane until we squeeze it out and process it.
The majority of people believe that drinking warm water with lemon juice and a tablespoon of honey on an empty stomach in the morning will help them lose weight and stay healthy (but don't combine #Honey with warm water).
We all know that drinking a cup of warm water first thing in the morning aids digestion. By combining jaggery and lemon juice, the profit can be tripled. Drinking warm water with jaggery in the morning before brushing your teeth will improve your skin and overall health.

Adam and Eve, who are they❓- Part 2 #Thread

Part -1 👇
To the east of it, according to Puranic narratives, there are two Nagarams: Pradana-Nagaram and Ma-Nagaram. Eden is the only garden referenced in the Old Testament. The omission is a critical error that renders the entire scenario worthless and ludicrous in every sense.
प्रकर्षेण दानं प्रदानम्।
Thus, Pradana-Nagaram denotes the zone of renunciation that is superior to Ma-Nagaram, the forest to the east. Worldly bliss is symbolised by Ma or Lakshmi. Eden has the same meaning in Hebrew.

Adam and Eve, who are they❓ #Thread
In the Old Testament, no etymological explanation is given for these two names, but Moses' name was derived from water, which in its liquid form resembles melting in a Moosa or crucible (a receptacle in which substances are heated to high temperatures).
Evidently, not even a hazy concept was gained when the titles Adam & Eve were borrowed. As revealed to Moses in Genesis, Adam & Eve are not the 1st parents of mankind. The two words provide highly technical n incredibly useful directions for Hindu religious progress.

The untold story of #TipuSultan - Thread

Despite the fact that much has been written about Tipu Sultan and his period, many aspects of his life remain unknown.
While everyone knows Tipu despised the British and did everything he could to drive them out of India, few people are aware that Tipu wanted to send one of his sons to France for higher education and had even asked Frenchmen stationed in Srirangapatna for assistance.
The French authorities had consented to Tipu's proposal, but they considered it would be preferable if Tipu's kids learned French before travelling to France. They recommended that Tipu's sons study French with a teacher in Srirangapatna before travelling to France.

The 12 ancient winter solstice days - #Thread
21st Dec - 1st Jan

Although it has been linked to pagan rituals, it actually has a Vedic foundation.
We should celebrate the Aditya Festival, the 12 ancient winter solstice days, from 21st December to 1st January, to commemorate the trail of Aditya due to slow shift in the Winter Solstice Day (1 degree shift in the earth's sky every 72 years) due to the precession of the equinox
As mentioned in the quoted Rgvedic verses, the Adityas were originally seven:- Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, Daksha, Bhaga, Amsha and Savitar. The eighth one is Maarthaanda, the sun-god, also known as Vivasvan, Vivasvat and Surya.
