...above sea level, to reach here many glaciers have to be cross through the Himalayan ranges. According to a Puranic legend about this mountain, it is said that Bhasmasura attained a boon by doing penance on this mountain and pleased Bhagwaan Shiva.
Bhagwaan Shiva gave Bhasmasura a boon to burn anyone by placing his hand on his/her head. Bhasmasura tried to lay his hand on Bhagwaan Shiva's head for the purpose of checking the truth of his boon, then Bhagwaan Shiva ran away from there, after that...
...Bhagwaan Vishnu took the form of Mohini and started dancing with Bhasmasura & and tricked Bhasmasura in such a way that he himself put his hand on his head. According to the legends, Bhasmasura got burned on this mountain and thus Bhagwaan Shiva was saved by Bhagwaan Vishnu.

🌺।।षष्ठी माता – जो शिशु का भाग्य लिखती हैं।।🌺

🧵
सनातन परंपरा में लोकमान्यता और पुराणों के अनुसार एक अत्यंत रहस्यमयी देवी का वर्णन मिलता है जिन्हें बेहमाता, षष्ठी माता या छठी माता कहा जाता है। माना जाता है कि जब किसी बालक का जन्म होता है तो जन्म के छठे दिन अर्थात षष्ठी तिथि को यह देवी अदृश्य रूप से आकर उस बालक के जीवन का भाग्य लिखती हैं।Image
इसी कारण भारत के अनेक क्षेत्रों में जन्म के छठे दिन “छठी” या “षष्ठी उत्सव” मनाया जाता है और इस अवसर पर लोकगीत गाकर माता का स्मरण किया जाता है। पुराणों में षष्ठी देवी को संतान की रक्षा करने वाली मातृशक्ति माना गया है।
ब्रह्मवैवर्त पुराण के प्रकृति खंड में षष्ठी देवी का उल्लेख मिलता है जहाँ उन्हें भगवान कार्तिकेय की पत्नी देवसेना का स्वरूप बताया गया है। वे बालकों की रक्षा करने वाली और वंशवृद्धि प्रदान करने वाली देवी मानी जाती हैं।
एक प्राचीन स्तुति में कहा गया है

षष्ठी देवि नमस्तुभ्यं बालानां रक्षणप्रिये।
सौभाग्यं देहि मे नित्यं पुत्रपौत्रप्रवर्धिनि॥

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
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?"
