🌺।।10 Things that Hindus should and should not do consciously or subconsciously।।🌺

⚜️1. Stop using the term "God fearing" - Hindus never ever fear God. For us, God is everywhere and we are also part of God. God is not a separate entity to fear.
It is integral. Image
⚜️2. Do not use the meaningless term "RIP" when someone dies. Use 'Om Shanti', 'Sadhgati' or 'I wish this atma attains moksha/sadhgati/Uthama lokas'. Hinduism neither has the concept of "soul" nor its "resting". The terms "Atma" & "Jeeva" are,in a way,antonyms for the word "soul" Image
⚜️3. Do not use the word "Mythology" for our historic epics (Ithihaas) Ramayana and Mahabharata. Rama and Krishna are historical heroes, not just mythical characters. And so are the Dashavatars. Image

🌺।।Scientific and Spiritual Significance of Temple Bells in Sanatan Dharma।।🌺

Hinduism is all about music and mantras, which the sound of the bells help to create an atmosphere of harmony, peace and serenity. Also, it is like announcing divine arrival. Image
The bell is made up of astadhatu (Eight metals) mixed in certain defined proportions. When struck with just the right amount of force generates vibrations similar in frequency to cosmic vibration ‘Om’.
This vibration subtly connects us to divine vibration and benefits/ balances the seven chakras. The social use is that ringing happens at a particular time in the temple

Bells create sound energy and vibrations. It helps dispense negative energy all around.

🌺1. अष्टावक्र और जनक संवाद

अष्टावक्र ने जो कहा वह 'अष्टावक्र गीता' नाम से प्रसिद्ध है। राजा जनक ने अष्टावक्र को अपना गुरु माना था। राजा जनक और अष्टावक्र के बीच जो संवाद हुआ उसे 'अष्टावक्र गीता' के नाम से जाना जाता है।
