⚜️क्या आप पंच महायज्ञ के बारे में जानते हैं?⚜️

🌺पंच महायज्ञ हिन्दू धर्म में बहुत ही महत्त्वपूर्ण बताये गए हैं। धर्मशास्त्रों ने भी हर गृहस्थ को प्रतिदिन पंच महायज्ञ करने के लिए कहा है। नियमित रूप से इन पंच यज्ञों को करने से सुख-समृद्धि व जीवन में प्रसन्नता बनी रहती है।🌺 Image
इन महायज्ञों के करने से ही मनुष्य का जीवन, परिवार, समाज शुद्ध, सदाचारी और सुखी रहता है।
इस संबंध में मनुस्मृति में मनु ने कहा है

अध्यापनं ब्रह्मयज्ञः पितृयज्ञस्तु तर्पणम् । होमो दैवो बलिभूतोनृयज्ञोऽतिथि पूजनम् ॥

-मनुस्मृति 3/70 Image

🌺The Samudra Manthan or Churning of the Ocean of Milk is one of the most famous episodes in the Puranas.🌺

⚜️The story appears in the Bhagavata Purana, the Mahabharata and in Shri Vishnu Purana.⚜️
The churning of the Ocean of Milk was an elaborate process. The gods & the demons cooperated in the churning to obtain amrita,the elixir of immortality. The great King serpent Vasuki offered himself as a rope, and Mount Mandarachala/Mandara was torn out for use as a churning rod.
As a result the demons were poisoned by fumes emitted by Vasuki. Despite this, the demigods and demons pulled back and forth on the snake's body alternately, causing the mountain to rotate, which in turn churned the ocean.
