🌺What is an Ayurvedic Clock?🌺

Ayurveda believes that there is an‘energy clock’ i.e. our levels of energy are in synch with time & there is an optimal time of day for different activities.

The concept of Ayurvedic Clock is similar to that of the biological clock or body clock.
It is linked to how our body and mind function relative to both the surrounding energy and the state of our bodily humors (doshas).

The closer our daily rhythms are aligned with the rhythm of nature, the closer we are to achieving mind-body balance and wellness.
If we go against natural cycle of nature,we experience imbalance & deterioration of our health.

How does Dosha Clock work?

In Ayurvedic Dosha Clock, the day is split into six 4-hour periods.Each period is related to a specific dosha & it is repeated twice in a 24 hour period.
Kapha time 6AM – 10AM / 6PM – 10PM
Pitta time 10AM – 2PM / 10PM – 2AM
Vata time 2AM – 6AM / 2PM – 6PM

The rising (dawn) and falling (dusk) of the sun are connected to Kapha.

The peak of the day (midday) and the peak of the night (midnight) are related to Pitta.
The transition between night and day and between dusk and dawn is related to Vata.

The activities you perform within these hours should be related to the respective dosha of that time.

By aligning your activities with the proper dosha you will be more efficient at whatever...
...you do because you will be working within your own nature.

Activities for Vata time

Vata dosha includes the elements of ether and air. This time is the best time to access the ether and spiritual connections.

Morning 2 AM – 6 AM
After 2 AM, our sleep gets lighter and our body starts to prepare itself for the elimination process.
Brahma muhurta, 96 minutes before sunrise, is the best time to wake up. Brahma means knowledge and this is the time to seek knowledge.
This is the auspicious and sacred time, the best time to meditate, visualize, and create.
It is also the ideal time to go out for a walk and do yoga.

Afternoon 2 PM – 6 PM

This is a good time for communicating, socializing, and sharing creativity.
Ayurvedic routine has been around for thousands of years and it has been passed down through the sciences of yoga and Ayurveda.
However, our modern lifestyle has made it difficult for us to comply with natural rhythms.
These rhythms are not rules invented by Ayurveda, they are the basic needs of our body and mind.
By understanding your dosha and how it functions, you can better understand how the energy around you affects your constitution and inner being.

THERE ARE 35 CITIES FROM THE MAHABHARATA THAT STILL EXIST TODAY

Bharat during the Mahabharata times was divided into mighty kingdoms. 35 Cities mentioned in the epic are very much alive & kicking today verifying and reinforcing our Historic roots in the Epic.

🧵Image

🌺01. Gandhara (modern Kandahar): Stretched from Rawalpindi, Pakistan, to far Afghanistan. Dhritarashtra's wife, Gandhari, was the daughter of King Subala; her brother, Shakuni, was Duryodhana's uncle.

🌺02. Takshashila (Rawalpindi): Gandhara's capital, famed as the city of knowledge and learning.

🌺03. Kekaya (northern Jammu-Kashmir): King Jaysena married Vasudeva's sister; their son Vinda was Duryodhana's ally in the war.
🌺04. Madra (Jammu-Kashmir, next to Kekaya): Called "Uttara Kuru" due to Himalayan proximity. King Shalya ruled; his sister Madri was Pandu's wife and the mother of Nakula-Sahadeva.

🌺05. Ujjayini (Nainital): Guru Drona trained Pandavas-Kauravas here in weapons. Bhima installed a Shivling on Drona's orders—now Bhimashankar, possibly one of 12 Jyotirlingas!

🌺06. Shivi (south Punjab): King Ushinara's grandson Shaivya wed Yudhishthira; Shaivya was a master archer who sided with Pandavas.

🌺।।The Secret of the Healing Power of Palani Murugan Idol।।🌺

⚜️Did You Know?

The Palani Murugan Idol is made up of 9 Deadly Poisons and still the substances that touch the idol are believed to acquire healing powers.

🧵Image

The temple in Palani is one of the six renowned pilgrimage sites for Sri Murugan, in the form of Dandāyudhapāni. While the story of how Lord Murugan came to reside in Palani is a popular tale, many have yet to learn of the ancient secret behind the making of the main idol and why the temple is a powerful religious healing centre.
The idol in Palani, is in the form of an ascetic. Having renounced the world, Lord Dandāyudhapāni stands with a staff in his right hand and with rudraksha beads around his neck. Shunning all worldly possessions, the only apparel he has chosen to retain is a breechcloth.

The temple has been sanctified by the penance of numerous sages and siddhas. In one of his immortal songs, the great Saint Arunagirināthar sang "My Lord, You sit on a Holy Hill which is superlative and exceeds even the spiritual glory of Kasi (Benares)."

⚜️क्या आप जानते हैं?

🌺।।रामायण में तीन मुख्य पात्र हैं - महर्षि वशिष्ठ , राजर्षि विश्वामित्र और भगवन परशुराम। इन तीनो दिग्गजों का संबंध और कहानी बहुत चित्ताकर्षक करने वाली है।।🌺

A Thread 🧵Image
राजर्षि विश्वामित्र महाराज गाधि के पुत्र कौशिक थे - इनकी बहन के पुत्र थे महर्षि जमदग्नि। महर्षि जमदग्नि की पत्नी भगवती रेणुका भी क्षत्रिय थी और इनके पुत्र थे भगवन परशुराम। तो कायदे से भगवन परशुराम के मातृकुल और दादीकुल का प्रभाव उनपर भरपूर रहा। इस रिश्ते से राजर्षि विश्वामित्र और परशुराम जी सम्बन्धी भी हुए।
राजर्षि विश्वामित्र और महर्षि वशिष्ठ की प्रतिद्वंदिता भगवान् राम के अवतरित होने से पहले चरम सीमा पर थी। महाभारत के आदि पर्व में अंगारपर्ण नामक गन्धर्व अर्जुन को इन दोनों की एक कहानी सुनाता है जो कुछ यूँ है।

🌺।।उद्धव और भगवान श्री कृष्ण संवाद।।🌺

एक बार भगवान श्री कृष्ण के परम मित्र उद्धव ने भगवान कृष्ण से पूछा: "आप द्रोपदी चीरहरण के समय चुप क्यों रहे?"

उद्धव और श्री कृष्ण जी का यह संवाद हम सभी के जीवन के लिए एक बड़ा सबक है।

A Thread 🧵Image
उद्धव का प्रश्न:

"हे कृष्ण! आप तो अंतर्यामी हैं। आपने कहा कि सच्चा मित्र वही है जो बिना मांगे मदद करे। फिर आप पांडवों के संकट के समय चुप क्यों रहे?

आपने युधिष्ठिर को जुआ खेलने से क्यों नहीं रोका?

आपने पासे को धर्मराज के पक्ष में क्यों नहीं पलटा?

जब द्रोपदी को भरी सभा में घसीटा गया, तब भी आप नहीं आए।

आप तब आए जब दुशासन उनका चीर हरण करने लगा। इतनी देरी क्यों? क्या यही सच्ची मित्रता है?"
भगवान कृष्ण का उत्तर (कर्म और विवेक का सिद्धांत):

भगवान मुस्कुराए और बोले, "उद्धव, विजय उसी की होती है जो विवेक से काम लेता है। दुर्योधन के पास विवेक था, उसने शकुनि को अपनी ओर से खेलने दिया। धर्मराज युधिष्ठिर भी विवेक से काम लेकर मुझे अपनी ओर से खेलने को कह सकते थे। सोचो, अगर शकुनि और मैं खेलते तो कौन जीतता?"
