Do you know ?

🌺।।In Sanatan Hindu Dharma, there is a tradition of sleeping with your head in the North direction and not South।।🌺

Let's explore why?

A Thread 🧵Image
🌺South is believed to be the Direction of Yama Deva (God of Death)🌺

In Hindu Dharma, the south direction is associated with Yama, the deity of death.

That’s why when someone dies, the head of the body is placed towards the south, symbolizing the soul’s departure.

Hence, sleeping with your head towards the south is considered inauspicious, as it symbolically invites death or misfortune.
🌺North is believed to be the Direction of Devatas (Gods)🌺

The north is believed to be the direction of divine forces, prosperity, and spiritual energy (associated with Kuber, the god of wealth, and Himalayas where many gods reside).

Sleeping with head towards the north is seen as auspicious and spiritually uplifting in many traditions.

🌺।।The First Adhyaya of Agni Purana begins with saying that Bhagwan Sri Vishnu is the foremost of male being।।🌺

A Thread 🧵 about the FORM & ICONOGRAPHY of Sri Vishnu

A concise picture of the Vishnu-image is presented in Gopala Tapani Upanishad: His feet bear the auspicious signs of a celestial standard, a royal parasol.Image
🌺।।The Divine and Enchanting form of Bhagwan Sri Vishnu।।🌺

His form is enchanting and auspicious (divya mangala vigraha); radiant like the Sharad -full moon; his eyes glow like blue Lotus blossoming amidst the pool of clear water ;

His brows like a well-strung bow; his nose slender and shapely like the petals of champak flower; the serene, cool, gentle smile, pure like cow’s milk, dancing on his full and well-shaped red lips lights up the whole world ;

His chin firm and well proportioned; his throat bright and sound shaped like a conch; the tilaka adorning his forehead between the brows is luminous like a crescent moon in a clear cloudless sky;
According to yoga theory, the throat is the seat of Vishuddha chakra – the center of extreme purity – which symbolizes pure consciousness and creativity. It is the center associated with the faculty of higher discrimination and with the formless space. The throat is also the center where pashyanti vak the formless speech manifests as audible sound (sabda). The garlands around the throat of Vishnu symbolize the display of manifestation (of duality) surrounding the formless nirguna. Vanamala is Vishnu-maya, the power of illusion of one who pervades all existence.
