The Mystery of Pitrloka: Where Do Our Ancestors Go After Death? 😱

Garuda Purana gives us a vivid map of the soul’s journey... from Yama’s court to Pitrloka.

A realm where ancestors dwell, waiting for us to remember them.

Follow @_TheSanatani & Read this thread... 🧵 After death, the soul doesn’t vanish.

It begins a long journey described in the Garuda Purana.

Guided by Yama’s messengers, it passes through terrifying & purifying realms... the Vaitarani river, Yama’s court... before reaching its destined loka.

Yantras – The Hidden Geometry of the Universe 😱

From the Sri Yantra to the simplest triangle, our Rishis encoded the cosmos in lines & curves.

These are not art or symbols... But blueprints of Reality.

Read this thread... 🧵 📌 What is a Yantra?

The word comes from the root “yam” = to control, to harness.

A Yantra is a tool.. a geometric design that channels cosmic energy.

It is the body of the Deity, while mantra is its voice.

👉 Together: Mantra + Yantra = The Presence of Divinity.

Purusha Sukta — The Cosmic Being whose body became the universe 😱

This is one of the most mysterious hymns of the Rig Veda (10.90)...

It describes how the entire cosmos is nothing but the body of a Supreme Being called Purusha.

A Thread 🧵
Imagine a Being so vast that:

👉 Thousands of heads, eyes, and feet are His
👉 The entire cosmos is just a fraction of His being
👉 From His body emerged all worlds, beings, and time itself

This is Purusha, the Cosmic Being.

Kleshas: The Root Causes of Suffering according to Yoga Sutras 🔥

Maharshi Patanjali doesn’t just tell us how to meditate... He explains why we suffer in the first place.

👉 The 5 Kleshas (afflictions) are the hidden knots in the mind that bind us to pain.

Read this thread 🧵 📌 Avidya — Ignorance

The mother of all suffering.

Not just lack of knowledge, but mistaking the impermanent for permanent, the impure for pure, the painful for pleasure, and the non-Self for Self.

It’s like living life in a dream, unable to distinguish reality.

The 5 Vrittis of the Mind — How Thoughts Shape Your Reality 😱

Why do we suffer? Why does the mind feel restless?

Patanjali explains: because the mind is constantly spinning in vrittis... waves of thought.

Let’s decode them 🧵 📌 What is a Vritti?

In simple terms, a Vritti is a modification or movement of the mind.

Just as waves arise on the surface of the ocean, thoughts, perceptions, and emotions arise in our consciousness.

They shape how we see reality... and often, they distort it.

Mimamsa: The Power of Dharma & Rituals – Why Karma itself is the unseen force (Apurva) 🔥

A forgotten but profound Hindu philosophy that taught us:

— Rituals are not “blind” acts
— Dharma is cosmic law itself
— Karma creates an unseen power called Apurva

Read this thread.. 🧵 When we hear “Mimamsa,” most think it’s about ritualism.

But it’s much deeper.
Mimamsa is not just about “doing puja.”

👉 It is the science of why dharma-rituals are cosmic acts that generate invisible results, ensuring order in this world and the next.

Mimamsa is one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy, also known as the Shad-Darshanas.

Samskaras – The 16 Sacred Rites that Shape a Hindu’s Life Journey 🔥

In Sanatana Dharma, life is not random.
It is seen as a sacred journey... from the womb to beyond the death.

To sanctify this journey, our Rishis gave us 16 major Samskaras (sacraments).

Each is like a spiritual milestone, purifying and uplifting the soul at every stage.

Let’s walk through them one by one… 🧵 📌 Garbhadhana (Conception)

The very beginning.

A prayerful union of husband and wife with the intent of inviting a pure soul into the womb.

It is not just about creating life... it is about consciously bringing a noble soul into the world.

Ayurveda on Longevity — 7 Secrets to a 100-Year Life 😱

For thousands of years, Ayurveda has spoken about "Jeevema sharadah shatam" — “May we live a hundred autumns.”

But what does Ayurveda really teach about living a long, vibrant life?

A Thread 🧵 Ayurveda never praises mere long life. It praises a healthy and purposeful life.

A hundred years of suffering is not the goal... A hundred years of health, clarity, strength, and wisdom is.

👉 This is called "Swasthya" — to remain established in one’s true self.

Sankhya Philosophy — The Forgotten Science of Purusha & Prakriti 😱

Most people know Yoga, some know Vedanta.

But very few know Sankhya... the philosophy that gave us the very blueprint of reality.

Let’s explore... 🧵 📌 What is Sankhya?

The word Sankhya means "enumeration" or "numbering."

Why? Because it categorizes and enumerates the principles (tattvas) of the universe.

👉 It is one of the six darshanas of Hindu philosophy.

Chakras & Lokas: The Cosmic Map Hidden in Your Spine 😱

What if I told you… your body is not just flesh and bones, but a living universe?

According to Hinduism, the seven chakras are not merely “energy centers.” They are portals that connect you to the seven lokas.

🧵 We usually think of the spine just as a biological structure... bones, nerves, tissues.

But the sages described it as Meru Danda... a miniature Mount Meru, the cosmic axis that holds together the universe.

👉 Just as Mount Meru connects the earthly realm to the heavens, your spine connects the physical body to higher dimensions.

Sleep & Dreams in Hinduism — Why Deep Sleep is Called ‘Mini-Samādhi’ 😱

We spend 1/3rd of our life in sleep.

Yet rishis saw sleep not as unconsciousness, but as a gateway to the Self.

Let’s explore what the Upanishads, Gita, and Yogic texts reveal... 🧵 Most people think sleep is just “rest for the body.”

But in Sanātana Dharma, sleep (nidra) is more than rest.

It is a state where the soul temporarily withdraws from the senses, the mind quiets down, and the ego dissolves.

👉 That’s why deep sleep feels so blissful.

Rebirth Explained: Where Does the Soul Go Between Two Lives? 😱

We’ve all heard “the soul never dies, it just takes another body.”

But what actually happens in between?
Where does the soul go, what does it face, and who decides its rebirth?

Here's the secrets of rebirth... 🧵 Most people think of rebirth very simply:
“After death → next life.”

But the Rishis describe a far more mystical and elaborate journey.

Death is not an end. It is a passage. A great migration of the atman.

Secrets of Pralaya — How the Universe will End as per Sanātana Dharma 😱

Every beginning has an end.

In Hinduism, creation and dissolution are eternal cycles. Worlds arise, flourish… and collapse into nothingness.

👉 But how exactly will this universe end?

A Thread 🧵 🔹 Vishnu Purana:

"Creation arises from the Unmanifest. After a long time, it dissolves back into that same Unmanifest, like bubbles in water."

👉 The Universe is not permanent. It’s a cosmic breath of Brahman.

Vajikarana: The Ancient Secret to Vitality, Fertility & Longevity 😱

Most people think Vajikarana is just an “aphrodisiac therapy.”

But.. Ayurveda says, it’s the science of life force, stamina, immunity, mental clarity, and longevity.

A Thread 🧵 Vajikarana is one of the eight branches of Ayurveda (Ashtanga Ayurveda), yet it is widely misunderstood.

👉 Charaka Samhita explains:

“Vajikarana strengthens Shukra, nourishes all Dhatus, enhances Ojas, prolongs life, and sharpens intellect.”

It is a science of total vitality, not just sexual function. It restores the body and mind to a state of optimal health.

The 28 Narakas (Hells) Described in Bhagavata Purana 😱

Science says everything ends with death. But… the Bhagavata Purana says otherwise.

For the sinful, death is only the beginning... a journey through realms that even reading about them can shake your soul.

A Thread 🧵 Maharshi Shukadeva Goswami tells King Parikshit about the 28 hells where sinful souls go to experience the results of their actions.

These are not eternal punishments... after experiencing the results, the soul is reborn according to its karma.

👉 This is not meant to scare, but to remind us to live with dharma (righteousness) in mind.

Ashtanga Ayurveda: The Complete Science of Life in 8 Timeless Branches 😱

Thousands of years before “modern” medicine divided into specializations…

Our Rishis had already outlined Ashtanga Ayurveda... the “Eight Limbs” of complete medicine.

Let’s explore them 🧵 The concept of Ashtanga (Eight Limbs) is mentioned in both Charaka Samhita (Sutrasthana 30) & Sushruta Samhita (Sutrasthana 1).

👉 While Charaka focuses more on internal medicine & systemic healing,

👉 Sushruta gives greater detail on surgery & external interventions.

The legendary Rishis of Ancient Bharat.. and their timeless achievements 🔥

— They mapped stars w/o telescopes.
— They cured diseases w/o modern medicine.
— They knew atoms long before the West did.
— They performed surgery 2,500+ years ago.

This will blow your mind... 🧵 📌 Maharishi Vashistha

He was rajguru to King Dasharath, mentor to Shri Ram.

🔹 He is the author of Vashistha Samhita and Yoga Vashistha... profound works on dharma, yoga, and cosmic law.

🔹 His ashram was a hub of spiritual learning for centuries.

The 16 Yamas of Yama — Rules of the God of Death 😱

Most people fear Yama, the God of Death.

But the Garuda Purana says...
Yama is not just a punisher... He’s the cosmic judge who follows 16 strict laws before deciding your soul’s final destination.

A Thread 🧵 Once your soul leaves the body, you appear in his court.

There, Chitragupta.. the divine clerk, reads your life’s record. Every action, thought, and intention is weighed against these Yamas.

They are not optional; they are the cosmic constitution.

You Are Three Beings in One — The Vedic Secret of Jiva, Ishvara & Paramatman 😱

Most people think they are just one...
But the Vedas say you are far more than that.

You are a traveler across lifetimes, a spark of the cosmic, and the infinite itself.

Let me explain… 🧵 In Sanatan Dharma, reality is layered... like an ocean with waves, currents, and the deep, still water beneath.

The Rishis described three levels of the soul:

🔹 Jiva — the individual
🔹 Ishvara — the cosmic
🔹 Paramatman — the supreme

👉 Each is real, each is you, but in different ways.

Kundalini: The Serpent Power at the Base of Your Spine — According to Yogic Texts 😱

Ancient yogis say this coiled energy can rise like lightning, pierce every chakra, and dissolve the limits of the human mind.

But awakening it is not without danger…

A Thread 🧵 At the base of your spine, curled up like a sleeping serpent, lies a power so ancient and so vast…

that sages claimed it could burn away lifetimes of karma.

👉 They called it Kundalini Shakti.

Most people will live their entire lives without even knowing it exists.
