What was the genuine reason behind a "wedding" according to the Vedas?
To truly understand this “genuine” reason behind a wedding, we must first know Vedic nomenclature; thus its important that we start with some linguistics.
#SanatanaDharma #Vedas #Vedic
A wedding in Sanskrit is “vivāha” - it is comprised of two roots:–

vi = viśeṣa - specific or particular.

vāha = bearing, carrying, transporting.

So it refers to the taking on, or accepting of specific burdens or responsibilities.
#SanatanaDharma #Vedas #Vedic
So to elaborate, marriage is about responsibilities - duties and obligations which can best be dealt with as a couple.
#SanatanaDharma #Vedas #Vedic
5 responsibilities (pañca-mahā-yajña):

1) Parental obligation (pitru-ruṇa) to care for parents in old age & to have worthy progeny to propagate & preserve our lineage.

2) Religious duties (deva ruṇa) to ensure continuation of Devas' worship.
#SanatanaDharma #Vedas #Vedic
3) Cultural/educational obligations (rishi-ruṇa) to study Hinduism's traditions, sacred texts & philosophy & to transmit it to children so as to preserve the Noble Culture handed down for thousands of yrs & from which we have benefited.
#SanatanaDharma #Vedas #Vedic
4) Environmental obligations (bhūta-ruṇa) to care for environment, preserve it for future generations & to ensure that all beings live well.

5)Social obligations (manuṣya -ruṇa) - caring/cooperating with society, to ensure common good for all.
#SanatanaDharma #Vedas #Vedic
So a wedding is an induction into marriage which comprises the above mentioned duties performed in cooperation with a spouse.

Signs you are meditating properly:

First thing you need to understand meditation is all about witnessing.
#Spirituality #meditation Image
Witnessing starts on 3 levels.

Body: You become aware of body's movement; lifting of hand, moving body is done consciously. Today you walk & when you reach you don't know when did you reach? Being conscious about body you are aware of it's movement.
#Spirituality #meditation Image
Thoughts: You watch your thoughts without identifying with them. You watch as if its a movie, without reacting & you know these are just thoughts, they come & go. Just a mere understanding, and you start getting dis-identified with your thoughts.

Most people do not use their MIND correctly.

Lets prove it with an experiment :

Do you know what will be your next thought?

How many thoughts during a day do you 'create' consciously?
#Spirituality #TuesdayMotivaton Image
Or does it happen randomly & unconsciously?

Aren't your actions dependent on what random thought comes & influences you?

If you aren't bringing in thoughts consciously & your actions are influenced by random thoughts, are you truly in control?
#Spirituality #TuesdayMotivaton Image
Think of your favorite mouth food right now.

Now, your favorite drink.

Now, think of something which makes you feel good

Didn't I just influence your next stream of thoughts which may end up into actions based on these thoughts planted in you?

Science cannot go beyond the object, because the very approach makes a limitation. Science cannot go beyond the outer, because only with the outer, experiments are possible.
#SanatanaDharma #Spirituality Image
Philosophy, logic, cannot go beyond the subjective, because it is a mind-effort, you work it out in your mind. You cannot dissolve the mind; you cannot go beyond it.
#SanatanaDharma #Spirituality Image
Science is objective; logic, philosophy, is subjective. Spirituality goes beyond, poetry goes beyond: it is a golden bridge. It bridges the object with the subject.

What is the Mandukya Upanishad about?Can you prove that Shiva is an independent god?(Independent god here means 4th dimmension)

Mandyuka Upanishad explores the Highest State Brahman that Fourth Dimension , that Noumenon Highest Truth called Shiva.
#SanatanaDharma "भगवान शिव" Image
That all auspicious and non-Dual self, which represents Shivay Shantaya ( Divine Tranquility) wherein creation ceases to exist. Where the God is not only inscrutable but infinitely inexpressible.
#SanatanaDharma "भगवान शिव" Image
Shiva comes with:

Etymology:

“Shi” has roots in sleep ,wherein expression becomes blank & nada. The Supreme Dissolution the Highest Destruction, that Highest Nirvana, entirety of Creation, Creator & the Waters sleeps .

And

“Va” means Shakti.

What is the reason Hindus worship Yama?

Worship means the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a God, a person, or a thing.
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism Image
YAMA is the personification of the principle of DEATH - an event which is feared by all sentient beings but an experience we must all undergo. For us Hindus, the backdrop canvas of YAMA is the cycle of karma and rebirth.
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism Image
So by revering Death we contemplate upon our own fragility and mortality and learn to live in the here and now. Not regretting and getting melancholic about the past and not experiencing anxiety and dread about the future.
