Speed Of Light In The ‘Rig Veda’

As per Modern Science the speed of light is 186,000 miles/second

Now read it carefully & get to know the Power of Vedic Science👇

Speed of light was known to Indians in Vedic period and was determined accurately in Rig Veda thousands of yrs ago

It was further elaborated by Sayana ( An influential commentator on the Vedas) in the 14th century AD in his commentaries on Rig Veda.

Many years after that, The velocity of Light was calculated by Maxwell in the 19th century,

In Rig-Veda, there is a hymn which is incredibly close to the information about the speed of light.

तथा च स्मर्यते योजनानां सहस्त्रं द्वे द्वे शते द्वे च योजने एकेन निमिषार्धेन क्रममाण नमोऽस्तुते ।।

"tatha ca smaryate yojananam. sahasre dve dve sate dve ca yojane
ekena nimishardhena kramaman
Namostute."

This means “It is remembered here that Sun (light) traverses 2,202 yojanas in half a nimisha.”

**Nimisharda = half of a nimisha

**In the vedas 'Yojana' is a unit of - Distance and 'Nimisha' is a unit of - Time.

'Arthasastra' defines A Yojana as being equal to 8,000 dhanus, which is equivalent to 9.09 miles

#sawansomwar #HarHarMahadev #MondayVibes #श्रावण_मास

"Maha" means "Great",
"Mrityun" means "Death" and "Jaya" means "Victory", and so the mantra means "Victory over mortality".

The mantra is also referred to as Mrita-Sanjivini Mantra or life-Reviving Mantra, found in the oldest Vedic literature, the Rig Veda (7.59.12).

This is how Mahamrityunjaya Mantra originated -

The great sage Mrikandu Rishi and his wife Marudmati worshipped Bhagwan Shiv and sought from him the boon of begetting a son. As a result, he was given the choice of either a righteous son, but with a short life on earth

or a child of low intelligence but with a long life. Mrikandu rishi chose the former, and was blessed with Markandeya, an exemplary son, destined to die at the age of 16.

Markandeya grew up to be a great devotee of Bhagwan Shiv and on the day of his destined death

he continued his worship of Bhagwan Shiv in his aniconic form of Shivalingam. The messengers of Yama, the God of death were unable to take away his life because of his great devotion and continual worship of Bhagwan Shiv. Yama then came in person to take away Markandeya's life,

क्यूँ मनाया जाता है रक्षाबंधन का पर्व और क्या हैं इस पर्व से जुड़ी, माँ लक्ष्मी और राजा बलि की पौराणिक कथा

कथा भगवान विष्णु के वामन अवतार से जुड़ी है. भगवान विष्णु ने वामन अवतार लेकर असुरों के राजा बलि से तीन पग भूमि का दान माँगा, दानवीर बलि इसके लिए सहज राजी हो गये

वामन ने पहले ही पग में धरती नाप ली,तो राजा बलि समझ कि गये कि ये वामन कोई और नहीं बल्कि स्वयं भगवान विष्णु ही हैं. बलि ने विनय पूर्वक भगवान विष्णु को प्रणाम किया और अगला पग रखने के लिए अपने शीश को प्रस्तुत किया. विष्णु भगवान बलि पर प्रसन्न हुए और वरदान माँगने को कहा

तब असुर राज बलि ने वरदान में भगवान विष्णु से आग्रह किया कि वह उनके द्वारपाल बने । भगवान विष्णु ने राजा बलि के इस आग्रह को स्वीकार कर लिया और वह राजा बलि के साथ पाताल लोक चले गए। भगवान विष्णु के कई दिनों तक दर्शन न होने कारण माता लक्ष्मी परेशान हो गई और वह नारद मुनि के पास गई।

नारद मुनि के पास पहुंचकर उन्होंने उनसे पूछा के भगवान विष्णु कहाँ है। जिसके बाद नारद मुनि ने माता लक्ष्मी को बताया कि वह पाताल लोक में हैं और वरदान हेतु राजा बलि के द्वारपाल बने हुए हुए हैं।

तब माता लक्ष्मी के आग्रह पे नारद मुनि ने भगवान विष्णु को वापस लाने का उपाय बताया ।

उन्होंने कहा कि आप श्रावण मास की पूर्णिमा को पाताल लोक में जाएं और राजा बलि की कलाई पर रक्षासूत्र बाँध दें। रक्षासूत्र बाँधने के बाद राजा बलि से उपहार स्वरूप भगवान विष्णु को वापस माँग लें।

तब माता लक्ष्मी ने नारद मुनि की सलाह वैसा ही किया और असुर राज बलि को राखी बाँधी

Trimurti – The three forms of the Universe

The ancient Indian Hindu texts describe units of time ranging from microseconds to trillions of years.

According to these texts, the creation and destruction of the Universe is an ongoing cyclic process that repeats forever infinitely

In other words, Universes are created and destroyed, and the process goes on and on.

The process of creation (called Srishti in Sanskrit) of the Universe is personified in the form of Brahma – the God of Creation.

The process of destruction (called 'Pralaya' in Sanskrit) of the Universe is personified in the form of Shiv – the God of destruction (Bhagwan Shiva's role is to destroy the universe in order to re-create it)

The permanance, the cycle of creation and destruction that

goes on forever infinitely and hence is timeless and eternal,is personified in the form of Vishnu – the preserver who is permanent and all pervasive.

So, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv form the trinity of 'Creation', 'Maintenance' and 'Destruction'.

Hence they are called 'Trimurti' – the three forms of the Universe.
So here we personify God in three forms – Generator, Observer, Destroyer (GOD)
