Om Mantra is an ancient Sanskrit spiritual symbol in #Indian religions. Which was first felt by rishis as they meditated. Eventually, as the experience proliferated, the word came forth and people started chanting it to feel the same experience. #OM is also one of the most

important spiritual symbols. It refers to Atman (soul, self within) and Brahman (the entirety of the universe, the ultimate reality, and cosmic knowledge). Om is a sound with a complex meaning. It is the whole universe fused into a single word, representing the union of body,

mind, and soul. Om is misunderstood as a religious mantra which is only related to #Hindus. But in reality, it is a cosmic vibration that initiated the creation of the whole universe. The sound of om has three syllables A, U, and M pronounced as AUM. Chanting of ‘aaaa’ gives

The four great eras in #SanatanDharma are Satya Yug, Treta Yug, Dwapar Yuga, and Kali Yuga. Satya Yuga or the Age of Truth lasts for 4800 divine years, Treta Yuga for 3,600, Dwapara Yug for 2400, and Kali Yuga will last for 1200 divine years a divine year equalling 360 earthly

years. Sanatan tradition holds three of these great ages of this current universe that have already passed away, and we are now living in the fourth yuga the Kali. It is quite hard to look at the meaning of huge quantities of time expressed, the numbers are quite huge. There are

different theories about the meaning of these measurements of time. The four yuga ages may showcase the four phases of evolution during that humans gradually lose awareness of their inner selves and subtle bodies. Sanatan dharma believes that humans have five kinds of koshas,

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. Therefore, you will be

The Vedas are the holiest and first religious texts ever know to the world. They are the source of integral knowledge, science, tradition, and culture of our ancestors. The Vedas are known as oral compilations of knowledge preserved from time immemorial. They are recognized not

only as scriptures but also as the source of Indian culture and human civilization. The word Veda means knowledge. The word comes from the Sanskrit root 'vid', which means 'to know' or to understand. It does not refer to any particular literary work but relates to a vast corpus

of literature, produced over many centuries and passed on orally from one generation to another.
Vedas are also called Shruti that means "something that is heard," i.e. the voice of God that was heard by the rishis in ancient times and spread in the world after listening,
