⚜️।।THE CONCEPT OF MULTIVERSE MAY BE NEW IN THE MODERN WORLD BUT SANATAN HAS KNOWN IT FROM THE BEGINNING।।⚜️

Here is a collection of some Shlokas from Sanatan Hindu Sciptures telling about the concept of Multiverse and its Significance.

A Thread 🧵 Image
🌺The concept of Multiverse existence is written and praised in various Slokas from Hindu Puranas and Upanisads. Here are some Slokas from Bhagavata Purana, Yoga Vasistha, and Garga Samhitas.🌺

1. Srimad Bhagavatam, 6.16.37

क्षित्यादिभिरेष किलावृत: सप्तभिर्दशगुणोत्तरैरण्डकोश: ।
यत्र पतत्यणुकल्प: सहाण्डकोटिकोटिभिस्तदनन्त:।।

Every universe is covered by seven layers—earth, water, fire, air, sky, total energy, and false ego—each ten times greater than the previous one. There are innumerable universes besides this one, and although they are unlimitedly large, they move about like atoms in You. Therefore You are called unlimited [Ananta].Image
2. Srimad Bhagavatam, 10.87.41

द्युपतय एव ते न ययुरन्तमनन्ततया त्वमपि यदन्तराण्डनिचया ननु सावरणा: । 
ख इव रजांसि वान्ति वयसा सह यच्छ्रुतय स्त्वयि हि फलन्त्यतन्निरसनेन भवन्निधना: ।। 

Because You are unlimited, neither the lords of heaven nor even You Yourself can ever reach the end of Your glories. The countless universes, each enveloped in its shell, are compelled by the wheel of time to wander within You, like particles of dust blowing about in the sky. The śrutis, following their method of eliminating everything separate from the Supreme, become successful by revealing You as their final conclusion.

These breathtaking temples are unparalleled in their allure and their annual openings are eagerly awaited by thousands of devotees across the globe.Image
1. THE TEMPLE OF RANI POKHARI

Originally known as Nhu Pukhu, Rani Pokari in English means Queen’s pond. Built-in the 17th century, the pond lies in the center of the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu, and standing in the center of the pond lies the temple dedicated to Matrikeshwor Mahadev, a form of the Hindu God Shiva.

Open only once a year on the fifth and final day, “Bhai Tika” of Tihar (Deepawali), the devotees visit the temple walking through a causeway that bridges the streets and the temple surrounded by water. On this day, when all Hindu women pray for the prosperity of their brothers, and those without their own brothers to pray for go to the temple.Image

There are many temples of Nagas in India, among which is a unique one, Nagchandareshwar Temple in Ujjain. It is situated on the third floor of Ujjain’s Mahakala temple.

🌺।।6 POWERFUL SHANTI MANTRAS IN HINDU DHARMA FOR WORLD AND INNER PEACE।।🌺

🌺।।SHANTI MANTRAS।।🌺

1. ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय ।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।
मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय ।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

Meaning:

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय ।
From untruth to Truth! Untruth is the death of the ego. The Truth is eternal and immortal. So once you are part of the Truth, there is no question of death at all. My friends, the third barrier stopping enlightenment is the barrier of ego. Therefore, to experience God, we should see that the ego dies as early as possible.

🌺।।THE CONCEPT OF NARAKA LOKA IN SANATAN HINDU DHARMA AND ITS MENTION IN THE SCRIPTURES।।🌺

Naraka Loka is the equivalent of Hell in Hindu Dharma where those who have sinned are punished after they die.

It is also considered the dwelling place of Yama, the God of Death.

A Thread 🧵Image
When someone dies, the Yamadutas, messengers of Yama, take all souls to Yama’s court. Yama weighs the person’s virtues and vices and passes a judgment, based on which the virtuous ones are sent to Svarga (heaven) and the sinners to one of the Naraka (hell).
🌺।।DEPICTION OF HELL AS PER SCRIPTURES।।🌺

The stay in either Svarga or Naraka is temporary, and after completing the quantum of punishment, the souls are reborn as higher or lower beings according to their actions.
