Lineage of Shri Rama: In the 81st generation of Ikshvaku Dynasty of Surya Vamsam or Solar Dynasty, Shri Rama was born. This lineage continued for another 64 generations until 1634 BCE, where the last king Sumitra was killed by Chanakya’s contemporary Mahapadma Nanda.
Brihadbala (who was 115th generation king) was slayed by Abhimanyu while participating in Kurukshetra war. After king Raghu (57th generation), Raghuvanshi dynasty was born out of the Suryavanshi clan. Mahabharata, Vishnu Puran and Valmiki Ramayana contain accounts of this
dynasty. And many other Purans have reference/mentions about many offshoots of Surya Vamsam or Solar dynasty. Shri Rama’s sons were Luv and Kush. Raghav Rajputs are offshoot of Luv’s dynasty which include the Jayas, Sikarvars and Burgujars.
Kushwaha (Kachwah) Rajputs are descendants of King Kush. These are the tables 👇🏻and short thread on Shri Rama’s dynasty, will try to write more about this in future.

We all know about Ardhanareshwar form of Mahadev and Mata Parvati. But how many of us know about Vaikuntha Kamalaja form of Shri Vishnu and Mata Lakshmi? Let us know something about this form. Shri Vishnu and Mata Lakshmi in the combined form are known as Image
Vaikuntha Kamalaja, another name of this form is Lakshmi-Narayan. Similar to Ardhanareshwar form of Shiva, Shri Vishnu gives a portion of his body to Mata Lakshmi. This form depicts the oneness of Vishnu ji and Mata Lakshmi. Only a few texts mention about this form. Image
The form is worshipped in some of the Vishnu Mandirs who follow agamic (tantrik) procedures. After shayana aarti (final rituals of the day), they worship Ardhaharilakshmi. Badrinath, Jagannath, Kedarnath and few other Mandirs in Kerala follow this. Vamadeva Kalpa is a scripture Image

Kopeshwar Mandir, Kolhapur: This Mandir is around 1000 years old. An excellent example of ancient architecture. Perhaps, the only Shiva Temple without a Nandi. Kopeshwar literally translates to ‘the wrathful Bhagwan’ or ‘the angry Bhagwan’. The Kopeshwar Mandir is Image
divided into 4 parts in that order – Swarga mandapa, Sabha mandapa, Antaral Kaksha and Gabhara. It is yet to get the fame like Chola temples of Thanjavur or Chandela temples of Khajuraho. Maybe because it is a single temple in this region with a much smaller Jain temple in the Image
vicinity. The temple comes under the Indian Archaeological heritage sites and is known for the beautiful stone carvings. It is also one of the rare temples in Bharat, where both Shiv ji and Bhagwan Vishnu are in ‘ling’ form. Image

Raghunath Jew Mandir, Odgaon, Nayagarh, Odisha is one of the famous Mandir in Odisha, which is dedicated to Shri Ram. The Mandir was built around 1903. The Mandir’s “Kalas” are made up of gold. Image
It is said that Upendra Bhanja (a renowned poet of Odisha) meditated here and attained perfection in Rama Taraka Mantra. As written in the Dandi Ramayana (Odia version of Ramayana) “Durbadala Shyama Sarira” means “Lush Green Body Transformed Into Colours,” ImageImage
the vigraha is green in colour (typical representation of Shri Ram in most parts of Eastern Bharat). Here the vigrahas are dressed in the “Vanabasi” attire. As it is clear from the beards and moustaches in Shri Rama and Shri Lakshmana’s vigrahas. ImageImage

Some basic information about the word “Dravida”:

•The word “Dravida” is a Sanskrit word and not any Tamil or Kannada or Telugu or Malayalam word. Dravida in Sanskrit means “Land bounded by sea/water (Drava) from three sides” and it’s people are called Dravidians.
•Dravida is not a race but a geography. Not a single ancient Tamil literature mentions the word “Dravida”.

•In the famous Sanskrit composition Soundarya Lahiri praising Devi (75th shloka), the great Advaita Philosopher Adi Shankaracharya called himself a “Dravida Shishu”.
It doesn’t have anything to do with any race. It implies where three oceans meet. So the word “Dravida” existed millenia before Dravida politics and it is not a 20th or 19th century concept.

•If, according to Sanskrit, we go by the meaning of Dravida

Sanskrit words for ‘teacher’ based on their unique abilities:

1) The teacher who gives you information is called- Adhyapak.

2) The one who imparts knowledge combined with information is called- Upadhyaya.

3) The one who imparts skills is called- Acharya.
4) The one who is able to give a deep insight into a subject is called- Pandit.

5) The one who has a visionary view on a subject and teaches you to think in that manner is called- Dhristha.
6) The one who is able to awaken wisdom in you, leading you from darkness to light, is called- Guru.

Sanskrit is, perhaps, the only language that has such a refined vocabulary to distinguish the different kinds of teachers.

Mystery of 108

Ancient sages from the Vedic traditions recognised that 108 is a ‘Harshad Number’. In Sanskrit, Harshad means ‘Joy-Giver’.

Here some of the spiritual and scientific significance of this wonderful number ‘108’ are described:

Hindus have 108 forms of
dance. Bhagwan Shiv was fond of dancing (Nataraj). He danced in 108 mudras (poses) and thus making 108 as the unit of creation.

Sri Yantra: On the Sri Yantra there are marmas where three lines intersect and there are 54 such intersections. Each intersection has masculine and
feminine, shiva and shakti qualities. 54 times 2 equals 108. Thus, there are 108 points that define the Sri Yantra as well as the human body.

Heart Chakra: The chakras are the intersections of energy lines, and there are said to be a total of 108 energy lines converging to form
