Wisdom in its simplest form

Jun 06, 2023

Watch your thoughts, they become your words;

Watch your words, they become your actions;

Watch your actions, they become your habits;

Watch your habits, they become your character;

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

Focus on, n control the controllables, instead of fretting over the uncontrollables, n observe the dramatic difference in your life.

~Lao Tzu

The Gayatri Mantra, the most powerful hymn in the world!!🙏🏽

May 11, 2022

Did you know? The "GAYATRI MANTRA" is the most powerful hymn in the world.

Dr.Howard Steingeril, an American scientist, collected mantras, hymns and invocations from all over the world and tested them for their strength in his Physiology Laboratory & concluded that the Hindus' Gayatri Mantra produced 110,000 sound waves /second!

This was discovered to be,- the most sound waves produced by any hymn or mantra on the planet and was concluded to be the most powerful hymn in the world by a US University. Through the combination of sound or sound waves of a particular frequency, this Mantra is claimed to be capable of developing specific spiritual potentialities. The Hamburg university initiated research into the efficacy of the Gayatri Mantra both on the mental and physical plane of CREATION....

The GAYATRI MANTRA is also broadcasted daily for 15 minutes from 7 P.M. onwards over Radio Paramaribo, Surinam, South America for the past two years, and in Amsterdam, Holland for the last six months.

The GAYATRI MANTRA "Om Bhoor Bhuwah Swah, Tat Sa Vitur Varenyam, Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi, Dhiyo Yo Nah Pra-Chodayaat!"🙏🏽

It's meaning:

"God is dear to me like my own breath, He is the dispeller of my pains, and giver of happiness. I meditate on the supremely adorable Light of the Divine Creator, That it may inspire my thoughts and understanding."🙏🏽

This wisdom is worth circulating and sharing with one and all! How rich and wonderful are our Vedas! Hari Om (हरी ॐ) 🙏🏽

25 Amazing FACTS, not fiction for all those who consider Hinduism to be irrelevant, obsolete n unscientific! (2/2)

May 08, 2022

The original name in Sanskrit for Hinduism is Sanātana Dharma, which means the Eternal way of Salvation. The word Hindu or Indu comes from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, meaning a large body of water or River. It was coined by the Greeks to describe the people who lived around the Indus River in the Indus valley.

Sanskrit is one of the oldest languages in the world having a history of more than 3,500 years. Many linguists consider it to be the mother of many (almost all) languages. It belongs to the language family of Proto-Indo-Aryan, Proto-Indo-Iranian and Proto-Indo-Europian Languages. It is also been proven that Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computers.

Why is the German national Airlines called ✈"Lufthansa"✈ ? The word, Lufthansa is derived from the two Sanskrit Words,- 'Lupth' (लुप्त) & 'Hansa'(हंस) meaning, the Disappearing Swan (लुप्त हुआ हंस). When the German airline service first started commercial flights in 1926, the aircraft they employed in service were pure white, resembling huge white swans. When these aeroplanes would fly into the sky and slowly grow smaller and smaller before disappearing, they resembled large white swans, flying up, up and away before disappearing into the vastness of the sky. In Sanskrit, the phrase that could aptly describe them was ‘lupth-hansa’, (लुप्त हुआ हंस) or Luft-hansa,- the disappearing swan!

There Is No single founder of Hinduism Most religions have a founder such as Prophet Muhammad for Islam, Jesus for Christianity, Buddha for Buddhism, Mahavir for Jainism and so on. Hinduism, however, has no single founder and no one knows the exact timeline for when the oldest religion on Earth originated.

The Only Religion That Doesn’t Have A Conversion Rule Hinduism is the only religion that never invaded any country or other religion to convert them into Hindus. Hinduism has no rule or ritual for conversion. But it doesn’t restrict those who wish to practice it and attain salvation from embracing it.

The Hanuman Chalisa predicted the distance between Sun & Earth Hanuman Chalisa is a prayer offering to Lord Hanuman written by Santh Tulsidas in the 16th century. In a verse of this prayer, it’s written as follows,- “Yuga-Sahasra-yojana para Bhanu Leeloo Tahi Madhura Phala Janu” According to the above verse, the distance between the Sun and Earth is Yuga-Sahasra-yojana. As said by Hinduism, 1 yuga is 12,000 divine years, Sahasra means one thousand and Yojana means 8 miles. Now equating this calculation we get 12000 x 1000 x 8 = 96 mn miles, which is 154.4 mn kms approximately, much closer to the 20th-century calculation of 152 mn kms at Aphelion (Longest distance between the Sun and the Earth). WOW!

The Rig Veda is the oldest of the four Vedas It is the oldest Indian & one of the oldest Indo-European texts. On the basis of astronomical calculations, it is dated back to 8,000 years and some calculations date it back to 10,000 years. It is a religious text, composed in Sanskrit, that originated in ancient India (1,800-1,100 BCE.) The Rigveda is regarded as one of the most sacred texts of Hinduism. It has fascinated scholars and historians due to its significance and antiquity. It is a collection of ancient Vedic Sanskrit hymns.

Feel proud to be born a “Hindu”, live as a devout Hindu, inspire n create more Hindus n later, move on n seek moksha as a Hindu! Jai Shri Ram! जय श्री राम! 🙏🏽 Ohm Namah Shivaaya! ॐ नमः शिवाय! 🙏🏽

Will you under - perform if you are left-handed?

Apr 05, 2022

Experts say at least 10 per cent of the people in the world are left-handed, and that’s not a small number. However, despite this, lefties often struggle to perform basic daily tasks in a world designed for right-handers, and until not so long ago, faced widespread social stigma too….

In Christianity, the right hand of God is the favored hand. Centuries ago, the Catholic church denounced left-handed people as servants of the devil. For generations, left-handed Catholic children were forced against their will to become right-handed.

Just a few short decades ago in Japan, the fact that your wife was left-handed could be cited as grounds for divorce!

In India, left-handedness is still considered a very bad omen among the Hindus. People who are left-handed are often not welcome to perform puja ceremonies, and a lefty is often referred to as someone who uses the ‘wrong hand’ — 'ulta' (opposite) as opposed to 'seedha' (straight and right). Naturally left handed kids are forcibly converted to right handed since it’s considered highly inauspicious to eat, write n even worship with the left-hand. The left hand is considered 'unclean' since it is the hand people generally use for washing themselves.

You will never succeed in life, one is warned if one doesn’t give up the bad habit of being a left-hander.

In Islam, the prophet forbade his followers to eat with their left hand because eating with ones’ left hand makes one EVIL like Satan. Really….!! The holy seer, Osama-bin-Laden was left-handed.

The International Left-Handers Day was observed for the first time in 1976. Ever since, it continues to be observed annually on the 'unluckiest of days',- August 13.

What’s common between,-

A) Iconic n historical leaders:

Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napolean Bonaparte, Thomas Jeffersson, Benjamin Franklin, Queen Victoria, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa n Narendra Modi

Hariprasad Chaurasia, Morgan Freeman, Michael Jackson, Rajnikanth, Asha Bhonsle n Amitabh Bachchan (is ambidextrous - writes with both hands n fights, shoots n eats with his dominating left hand)

They are all under-performers in life. Why…. b’cos they were cursed to be natural left-handers. Imagine what more all of these 'under-performers' might have accomplished had they not irresponsibly n stubbornly decided to stay left-handed/left-footed!!!!

Scent of a woman…. Nature’s finest creation!

Mar 08, 2022 Woman. . . . . . . . .

When God finally created Woman,

An angel came and asked, "What took you so long to create her?"

Replied the lord, "Did you see all the specifications I had to meet in order to design her?"

● She must function in all kinds of situations

● She must be able to adopt several children at once

● She must do it all with just two hands

● She must heal herself when sick and then work 18 hours a day

● Must have a hug for every pain from a bruised knee to a broken❤️

The angel was impressed "Only two hands .... impossible!

And is this the standard model?

The angel approached and touched the woman.

"But you made her so soft, Lord."

"She's soft," God said.

"But I made her strong. You can not imagine what she can endure and overcome"

"Can she think?" asked the angel ....

Replied the lord…. "Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate."

The angel touched her cheek ....

"God, this piece seems to be leaking! You've put too much of a burden on it."

"She's not leaking .... it's a tear💧" The Lord corrected the angel ....

"What is it for?" Asked the angel ....

Said the lord…. "Tears 💦 are her way of expressing her sorrow, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride." ….

That made a great impression on the angel,

"God, you're a genius. You thought of everything!

A truly wonderful woman "

Said the Lord, "Indeed she is!

■ She has the power to amaze a man!

■ She can handle troubles and carry heavy loads

■ She holds happiness, love and opinions

■ She smiles when she feels like screaming

■ She sings when she feels like crying, cries when she's happy and laughs when she's scared

■ She fights for what she believes in

■ Her love is unconditional

■ Her heart breaks when a relative or friend dies, yet she finds the strength to continue living

The angel asked: So is she a perfect being..... your one perfect creation in an imperfect world?

The Lord replied: No, she has but one flaw….

"She often forgets her true worth."

“If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.”

*Being a woman is invaluable* Happy Women's Day!💃💃

The Constitution of India

Jan 29, 2022

On January 26, 2022, India celebrated her 73rd Republic day!

Why is it a very important date in the Indian calendar?

Republic Day marks the adoption of the constitution of India and the transition of the country to a republic on January 26, 1950. Every year, the celebrations marking the day feature spectacular military and cultural pageantry.

On January 26, 1950, after 165 days of deliberation, 284 members of the Constituent Assembly of India unanimously adopted the Constitution. We know that Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was the father of the Indian Constitution. But how many know that the Original Constitution of India was hand written and also designed and illustrated by hand.

Shri Prem Bihari Narayan Raizada, a resident of Delhi, was the calligrapher of the Indian Constitution.

234 pages in all, the entire original constitution was hand-written by him in a flowing italic style. Working in a room in Constitution Hall (now known as the Constitution Club of India), he rendered the document - consisting of 395 articles, 8 schedules, and a preamble - over the course of six months. He incorporated his flowing style of calligraphy into the document, using hundreds of pen nibs in the course of his writing. No other instruments were used to write the whole constitution.

Shri Prem Bihari was a famous calligraphy writer of that time. He was born on 16 December 1901 in the family of a renowned handwriting researcher in Delhi. He lost his parents at a young age. He was raised by his grandfather Ram Prasad Saxena and uncle Chatur Bihari Narayan Saxena. His grandfather, Ram Prasad was a calligrapher. He was a scholar of Persian and English. He taught Persian to high-ranking officials of the English government.

Dadu used to teach calligraphy art to Prem Bihari from an early age for beautiful handwriting. After graduating from St. Stephen's College, Delhi, Prem Bihari started practicing calligraphy art which he learnt from his grandfather. Gradually his name began to spread side by side for the beautiful handwriting. When the constitution was ready for printing, the then Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru summoned Prem Bihari. Nehru wanted to write the constitution in handwritten calligraphy in italic letters instead of in print. That is why he called Prem Bihari. After Prem Bihari approached him, Nehru asked him to handwrite the constitution in italic style and asked him what fee he would take.

Prem Bihari told Nehru, “Not a single penny. By the grace of God I,- have all the things and I am quite happy with my life. ” After saying this, he made a request to Nehru,- "I have one reservation - that on every page of the constitution I will write my name and on the last page I will write my name along with my grandfather's name." Nehru accepted his request. He was given a house to write this constitution. Sitting there, Premji wrote the manuscript of the entire constitution.

Before starting writing, Prem Bihari Narayan came to Santiniketan on 29 November 1949 with the then President of India, Shri Rajendra Prasad, at the behest of Pandit Nehru. They discussed with the famous artist, Shri Nandalal Bose and decided how and with what part of the leaf Prem Bihari would write, Nandalal Basu would decorate the rest of the blank part of the leaf. The original, calligraphed copies of the document were sent to Shri Nandalal Bose and his students at Santiniketan, who decorated each of the 22 parts with elaborate art.

Nandalal Bose and some of his students from Santiniketan filled these gaps with impeccable imagery. Mohenjo-daro seals, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Life of Gautam Buddha, Promotion of Buddhism by Emperor Ashoka, Meeting of Vikramaditya, Emperor Akbar and Mughal Empire, Rani Lakshmibai, Tipu Sultan, Gandhiji's Movement, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Rupachitra is all reflected in their drawing ornaments. All in all, it is a pictorial representation of the history and geography of India. They painted the pictures very thoughtfully according to the content and paragraphs of the constitution.

Prem Bihari needed 432 pen holders to write the Indian constitution and he used nib number 303. The nibs were brought from England and Czechoslovakia. The nibs will be made there. He wrote the manuscript of the entire constitution for six long months in a room in the Constitution Hall of India. 251 pages of parchment paper had to be used to write the constitution. The weight of the constitution is 3 kg, 650 grams. The constitution is 22 inches long and 16 inches wide.

Prem Bihari died on February 17, 1966. The original book of the Indian Constitution is now preserved in the library of the Parliament House, Delhi. Later, a few books were published in print under the supervision of the Survey of India in Dehradun.
