๐ŸŒบBแน›hadฤraแน‡yaka Upaniแนฃad๐ŸŒบ

This Upaniแนฃad stands first in size among Principal Upaniแนฃads;content-wise also this has a unique place. It forms the end part of ลšatapatha Brฤhmaแน‡a(เคถเคคเคชเคฅ เคฌเฅเคฐเคพเคนเฅเคฎเคฃ)belonging to ลšukla Yajurveda &contains 6 chapters,in prose.
twitter.com/i/spaces/1ypKdโ€ฆ
Since this Upaniแนฃad consists of adopted chapters from a Brฤhmaแน‡a, it contains some portions which do not possess the essential qualities of a logical nature typical of Upaniแนฃads. We have to carefully avoid such portions.
twitter.com/i/spaces/1kvJpโ€ฆ
Each chapter of this Upaniแนฃad is further divided in sections called Brฤhmaแน‡a(s),which in turn r divided into verses. Therefore,a reference to any part of the Upaniแนฃad is made by denoting chapter, section &verse numbers;for example 2.5.3 indicates chapter 2,section 5 &verse 3.

๐ŸŒบMatsuchiyama Shoden is a Ganesha temple in Japan, dedicated to Kangiten.๐ŸŒบ

The Japanese deity Kangiten inherits many names and characteristics from the Hindu god Ganesha.

He is known as Binฤyaka-ten very similar to our Hindu Vinayaka; the Japanese names for the God - Ganabachi and Ganwha sound very similar to Ganesha. Like Ganesha, Binฤyaka is also the remover of obstacles, and when prayed to, he is supposed to bestow good fortunes on devotees,.. Image
..shower prosperity, bestow success and good health to all. In addition, Binฤyaka-ten in Japan is said to be the destroyer of Evil; a beacon of morality. Research shows that there is yet another moniker for Ganesha โ€ฆ Shล-ten or ฤ€ryadeva, the harbinger of good luck and fortune.
