Do you know who formulated the Pythagoras Theorem? You must be thinking about Pythagoras, but if we tell you that it was formulated even before the mathematician stated. The Baudhayana Sulba Sutra in Yajur Veda defines that the area of the diagonal is equal to the sum of the area Image
of the perpendicular and base side.

It is widely believed that Baudhayana was a priest and also an architect of very high principles. It is possible that Baudhayana’s interest in Mathematical calculations stemmed more from his work in religious matters rather than an enthusiasm
for mathematics as a subject itself. Undoubtedly he wrote the Sulbasutra to provide rules for religious rites, and it would appear almost certain that Baudhayana himself was a Vedic priest.

The Sulbasutras is like a guide to the Vedas which formulate rules for constructing
altars. In other words, they provide techniques to solve mathematical problems effortlessly.

If a ritual was to be successful, then the altar had to conform to very precise measurements. Therefore mathematical calculations needed to be precise with no room for error.
People made
sacrifices to their gods for the fulfillment of their wishes. As these rituals were meant to please the Gods, it was imperative that everything had to be done with precision. It would not be incorrect to say that Baudhayana’s work on
Mathematics was to ensure there would be no miscalculations in the religious rituals.
Hindi: क्या आप जानते हैं कि पाइथागोरस प्रमेय किसने प्रतिपादित किया था? आप पाइथागोरस के बारे में सोच रहे होंगे, लेकिन अगर हम आपको बता दें कि यह गणितज्ञ के कहने से पहले ही तैयार किया गया था। यजुर्वेद में बौधायन सुल्ब सूत्र परिभाषित करता है कि विकर्ण का क्षेत्रफल लंबवत और आधार पक्ष
के क्षेत्रफल के योग के बराबर होता है। यह व्यापक रूप से माना जाता है कि बौधायन एक पुजारी थे और बहुत उच्च सिद्धांतों के वास्तुकार भी थे। यह संभव है कि गणितीय गणना में बौधायन की रुचि धार्मिक मामलों में उनके काम से अधिक थी, न कि एक विषय के रूप में गणित के प्रति उत्साह के कारण।
निस्संदेह उन्होंने धार्मिक संस्कारों के लिए नियम प्रदान करने के लिए सुल्बसूत्र लिखा था, और यह लगभग निश्चित प्रतीत होगा कि बौधायन स्वयं एक वैदिक पुजारी थे।

सुल्बसूत्र वेदों के लिए एक मार्गदर्शक की तरह हैं जो वेदियों के निर्माण के लिए नियम बनाते हैं। दूसरे शब्दों में, वे गणितीय
समस्याओं को सहजता से हल करने की तकनीक प्रदान करते हैं।

यदि कोई अनुष्ठान सफल होना था, तो वेदी को बहुत सटीक माप के अनुरूप होना था। इसलिए गणितीय गणनाओं को सटीक होना चाहिए और त्रुटि की कोई गुंजाइश नहीं होनी चाहिए।
लोगों ने अपनी इच्छाओं की पूर्ति के लिए अपने देवताओं को बलि दी।
चूंकि ये अनुष्ठान देवताओं को प्रसन्न करने के लिए थे, इसलिए यह अनिवार्य था कि सब कुछ सटीकता के साथ किया जाना चाहिए। यह कहना गलत नहीं होगा कि गणित पर बौधायन का काम यह सुनिश्चित करना था कि धार्मिक अनुष्ठानों में कोई गलत गणना न हो।

The Internet has become an active source of false and manipulated content. You must be aware of the knowledge you seek. Many people have misunderstood the real meaning of linga in ‘Shiva Linga.’ The western world has compared linga to a sex organ many times. But, the word linga ImageImage
consists of a deeper meaning. The word ‘linga’ in Sanskrit means symbol (chinha). Moreover, the Agama text explains by breaking the literal meaning into two primary pieces where ‘ling’ means to dissolve or destroy whereas ‘ga’ means to emerge or create. The intended meaning is
that we all are creations of Lord Shiva (universe), and at the end, we all dissolve back into him. Thus, Shiva Linga marks the cosmos of our universe. Now, you know the real meaning of Shiva Linga. Further, you must be wondering what does the linga symbolizes. To answer this part

Hawan is a scientific process in which special herbs (Hawan Samagri) are offered in the fire of medicinal woods ignited in a specially designed fire pit called agnikuñda. Many research had been conducted on the process of Hawan and evidence suggested that Yagya reduces ImageImage
air pollution generated by increased SO2 and NO2 levels in the atmosphere, along with biological air pollutants such as microorganisms.

In Havan on burning of mango wood, there is zero CO emission. During the process, Medicines and herbs are vaporized by offering them into the
sacrificial fire, and they enter the human body in a gaseous form through the nose, lungs, and pores of the skin.

It is also seen that the effect of Hawan remains in the atmosphere for days after it has been performed. It is important now for the whole world to recognize the

Bhagwan Venkateswara’s idol is having a Srivatsam mark on his right chest, which is a permanent part of the Idol. It can be seen embossed, but only on Thursdays, when the jewels are removed completely, leaving the Melchat Vastram, and on Fridays, during Abhishekam and Nijapada
Darsanam. The darsan of Vakshathala Lakshmi can be seen if we come very near to Kulasekhara Padi and even from there also, we can only assume the shape of the Lakshmi. Only Archakas can see the Lakshmi on the Chest.

This Lakshmi is called Dvi-bhuja-Vyuha-Lakshmi in Vaikhanasa
Samhithas. The presence of Lakshmi on the body of the Hill god is responsible for the name Sri-nivasa (the abode of Lakshmi) for Him. This image of Lakshmi is in the Agamas prescribed to be two-armed and seated in the lotus posture, this form is called Vyuha-Lakshmi.

There are eight siddhis mentioned in our ancient scriptures also known as Ashta Siddhi. The Scriptures also include the abilities gained by the seeker after the attainment of the Ashta Siddhis. The seeker needs to be very disciplined and learn to control the mind as it is not so
easy to attain these siddhis. After attaining siddhis, the seeker rises above worldly attachment. Longing for desires of the materialistic world ends. It is said in the scriptures that Mata Sita blessed Hanuman ji that he can grant anyone with Ashta siddhis and nine Nidhis.
The lines from #HanumanChalisa that describes the above are as follows:

‘अष्ट सिद्धि नव निधि के दाता, असवर दीन जानकी माता। ‘

Siddhis are spiritual and supernatural powers and abilities attained by deep spiritual Sadhanas, including Yoga and Meditation.

The spiritual meaning of Namaste is profound. Particularly in Hinduism, Gods are worshiped by closing the eyes and joining the palms in reverence, which indicates the recognition of their divinity. In the Namaskar posture, the joined fingers act as an antenna to assimilate the
Chaitanya (Divine consciousness) or the energy transmitted by a Deity. While joining the palms, the fingers must touch each other because leaving space between the fingers will result in the accumulation of energy in that space. This energy will be immediately transmitted in
various directions; therefore the seeker's body will lose the benefit of this potent energy. After joining the palms, bow a little. This posture puts pressure on the navel and activates the five vital energies situated there. Activation of these vital energies in the
